    I still have all my Binaltech/Alternator figs. I didn't have a complete collection, but I had the majority of the main characters. Out of all of them, the Mazda RX8, Suburu Impreza, and Ford Mustang molds were, IMHO, the best, the Mazda being my favorite. In spite of liking it, I never did get the Shockwave version, and I do believe I had opportunities to pick it up. I was good with Jazz, so I didn't bother double dipping even though I did double dip on some of the other molds. The vast majority of my collection is packed away and I've not seen them in some time, but I remember their being some impressive toys for all the working features and details in their licensed car modes. The bot modes often suffered, however, from lackluster articulation and generally a fair bit of cumbersome kibble. Still, these things approached then MP levels of engineering and retailed for about $20 (for the all-plastic American Alternators) and about $50 IIRC, for the Japanese Binaltech versions which had a fair bit of die-cast, which gave them a heftier, more premium feel. Ah, the good old days when toys were reasonably priced and widely available, for the most part.

    Not only that, but an android communicating and making buddies is kinda a bit too soon. The next movie will be a buddy movie where androids aliens and predators are just on a road trip

    Hmm... I dunno, my hopes are not high for this one. After rewatching the first couple Predator movies, I feel like it's not a great idea to make a Predator the protagonist of the movie. IMO, what makes the Predators work as the sci-fi horror movie monsters they were/are is that they're inscrutable. They couldn't be communicated with or understood. They were just these aliens hunting people for sport because they could. Once you give them dialog and have them explain their culture and the context of their actions to the audience... they're just rubber forehead aliens like in Star Trek and there's no pivoting back to horror after that. Basically the same mistake Alien: Earth made by revealing you can absolutely just talk to Xenomorphs and control them with language.

    It has not been specifically addressed.... I updated/confirmed my address info as they requested...maybe (hopefully?) they will include the "Adam" figs with this phase of the Zentran figs for all the early adopters that did not "cut in line" via BBTS....lol...

    Any plans to get Yellow and his bike?

    Aww heck yeah! I believe Alternator Shockwave was my first Transformer as an adult. No longer was I too old for toy robots!

    Makes sense. Disease won't rip through an entire unit, and can't be attacked by a custom-engineered bioweapon that targets a specific genetic sequence. On the other hand, it results in soldiers with diverse heights and builds, complicating supply of equipment. But the protoculture seemed to have solved supply lines with their typical excess.

    I’ve always loved that design. I still have the hg in my ever expanding backlog, but having to do those seams on eight large identical parts was kinda the thing that kept me away. I do want to get to it one day though

    @derex3592 you are brave. Yeah I don’t think that’s in my wheelhouse. I’m down for the challenge of building old kits but let’s not get carried away. Hahaha. Hey, it’s going to look amazing in the end though. 👍

    I guess I have something to look forward to like a year from now if/when Sony releases it on PC.

    @Papa Rat - Photoetch will DEFINITLEY drive you to the brink of madness and beyond...LOL. I don't mind some, but man, there's a LOT for the Texas, and it's not all easy. I haven't event gotten to the hard stuff yet. *Sigh* - Sometimes I DOOoooo miss my days of building Ban Dai Star Wars kits---click, snap, click, paint, decal, DONE! But then where's the challenge right????......Right???? 😬 @Chas - No, no annealing, the last time I tried that, melting happened....LOL

    Really looking forward to Clayface, with the right director, and tone, Clayface could make for a great, horrifying body-horror, tragic anti-hero DC film. Clayface is a great character, I love Alan Tudyk as Clayface on the Harley Quinn HBO series, the character can definitely be done in multiple ways, with different takes from different actors.
