    Still chugging along on my Hi-V resculpt. Only one leg left to finish matching, then I can finally work on cleanup and detailing! Aiming for paint Feb 1st for a 2026 comeback!

    Touché, my friend. Guilty on all counts. 😅 Space constraints force me to squeeze displays of wildly different scales and themes right up next to each other. It's a chaotic mess of pop culture. 🫣 Heck, even when I manage to be consistent in scale and theme, my displays end up defeating each other... For instance, my Slave Leia (one of the most valuable TVC figures in the collection!) is almost completely obscured by Jabba's sail barge. 🤕 I greatly admire that pragmatism. I'm so sick-and-tired of buying the same characters over and over again because of slight improvements in sculpt or scale accuracy (or simply to acquire lesser-desired figures bundled together), but I'm a compulsive completist when it comes to Macross, Star Wars, Alien, RoboCop, Gremlins, Star Trek, Transformers... 😓

    It arrived and it's awesome. A smidge fiddly, and the default hand cant hold the gunpod very well, but overall shes a great valk. I love he color, I love the general look. Yeah. Cool piece of kit.

    I might consider it if it wasn’t just another cg mess

    In the actually-worth-watching category, we've got the apparently VERY long-awaited anime adaptation of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e... more than twenty-one years after the original manga ended circulation, and almost 30 years after it started serialization in Hana to Yume back in 1996. Gave the first two episodes a whirl. It's definitely a high-quality adaptation with a lot of very experienced voice actors behind it. It does have a weird vibe to it, though... I think because the story was written back in the 90's it feels slightly odd and out of place even with modern animation behind it. Not bad, just... different. Still fun, still well-executed. I'm looking forward to more.

    Not interested in a cartoon of it. They gave me live-action, so keep giving me live-action.

    Yes, on sale. Not $10 on sale, but still better than full price.

    That new LEGO DeLorean is a great set but I wish it had working gull-wing doors.

    Cool. They scale a little bit better to one another.

    Hey @Thom hope you got the TIE Reaper when it was on sale. Walmart and Amazon had it for $10. In any case I'm having fun collecting the TIE variants.

    Pretty sure they will ignore whatever they feel like. Similar to how Star Wars picks and chooses from odd media

    A few more of this season's new simulcasts have dropped. The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer is... well, on paper it's allegedly a comedy. I say allegedly because it's not actually funny. Not even slightly. The series is set in an alternate Japan where torture and murder are not only legal, but a form of private enterprise. The protagonist Cero is a 20-something former job-hopper with more than fifty different part-time jobs under his belt who has settled comfortably into his new chosen vocation of torturer at a torture firm named Spirytus Company and is living his daily life wringing confessions out of a variety of ne'er do wells, criminals, and the like through force with his coworkers, whip-enthusiast Siu, horror author Mikke, and a man named Hugh who is simply Too Pretty to work with others. It's billed as a comedy, but nothing about it is funny unless you count the absurdity of the setting treating torture like it belongs to the same basic class of manual labor as hospitality, restaurant food prep, or construction. (To the extent that a torture hardware supply store has a loyalty card like a Japanese supermarket.) Nothing about it is funny, though, and the characters aren't engaging enough for it to pass for a slice-of-life story either. It doesn't even manage to feel inappropriate. The subject matter's transgressive as all get-out but it's so bland that it doesn't feel like it. It's just dull. I don't think I could recommend it, even as a form of torture. Kunon the Sorcerer Can See is a fantasy slice-of-life series about the son of a marquis who is born with a heredity disability called the Hero's Scar because he is a descendant of The Hero who was terribly maimed defeating The Demon Lord. In his case, he was born blind. He's terribly depressed about this because it means that he really can't do anything and requires constant care from others. Then, a faux pas on the part of his magic tutor gives him an idea... he decides to study magic in the hopes of being able to create new eyes for himself. It has an interesting premise and got off to a promising start, but it quickly becomes apparent that the story doesn't really know what to do with its own premise and it's padded like a menstruating fire hydrant. The protagonist's more of a one-trick magical pony than Harry Potter (the only spell he knows creates a ball of water) and yet he is treated as some kind of godlike magical prodigy. Somehow this very basic magic all but eliminates several aspects of his disability, and by the end of the second episode he's not only able to discern colors, he's able to read and is attending the now obligatory-in-j-fantasy School for the Nobility. Past about the halfway point in the first episode the series feels really lazy and uninspired... veering straight into "boring" territory by the first episode's end.

    I find it funny that for someone whose head is so clearly Shockwave-inspired, Amalgamous's body screams "dinobot". I don't know if Grimlock or Shockvwave is more offended at the idea they might be related.

    I purposely ignored that, which I'm sure the show writers will do too when push comes to shove.
  23. Big s
    Don’t forget odd stage plays that nobody cares about that will fill in the gaps

    Milk is exactly the correct term for that show. Maybe I'm a purist but if it is not a live action show I consider it nothing more than a money grab. (For books I expect more books, for movies more movies, TV, etc...)

    TIE Reaper. Comes with three crew and room for more in the troop bay.

    I'd buy some tickets!

    Of course Netflix will milk Stranger Things, have the animated series coming up. I'll miss out on it as I'm cancelling my Netflix subscription. I'll probably will re-up when Last Samurai Standing returns, great series!!

    Anybody else have a favorites list for the past year, something new they found or something from established artists that are still hanging in there?
