    Back in the day with Yamato it was a different story. At least as told to me by Yamato, they had to send Kawamori new toy sculpts and test shots for his approval and feedback and if revisions were requested by him, they then had to send him the revised test shot after the changes had been made for his final approval. Often he would request several changes be made before release of the toy. I'm guessing that for whatever reason, it's a different story with Bandai and he has no creative input.

    Doh! I got mine from Amazon last July for $205 during one of dips in price. Thanks for the heads up. MB

    Speaking of Nine Inch Nails I bought tickets to see them perform live during their Peel it Back tour this Winter. Always wanted to see a live NIN performance since the 1990s so glad its my first before they or I get too old for it, lol.

    The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess A slightly unusual twist on the oversaturated "reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game/novel" subgenre of isekai story. As per the usual, the protagonist has had a run-in with Truck-kun that ends in her demise and awakening to discover she has been reincarnated as the villainess character in an otome story. The twist is that... I have to admit, it's an unusual take on the genre and not one I've seen anyone attempt before. I am intensely curious to see what they do with it. The animation itself is pretty good, though the art style and presentation itself is a cliche storm (no doubt intentional stylistic suck given the subject matter.)

    Pretty much, but there are some NIN songs that I like. I do think they’re overrated though, but Trent Reznor is usually pretty good at setting up a soundtrack and some soundtracks that he’s been in charge of were far better than the movies themselves. I guess in that regard I think Trent’s skill with soundtracking is underrated

    Yeah, they do a lot with textures to hide the seams. Maybe a few smoothing cycles in Blender or another modeling software could clean it up? No shortcuts here, I guess, but let me know if there's something else that could be useful.

    See, right there is where I think the price should have been from the start. I'd seriously consider grabbing one more if I didn't have other priorities at the moment.

    Amazon has this for $180 with two day delivery. I know it’s probably not exciting to a lot of people, but getting a DX Chogokin Valkyrie for less than $200 domestic delivery still feels neat. https://a.co/d/aZ6QzUX

    Having the ports for firing forward doesn't mean the doors shouldn't open to fire outward when the ports aren't usable though. Those ports are only good for use in fighter mode. What's always been funny to me is how the YF-29 just went completely overboard on this concept though. Not only can it fire through the ports or open the doors, but the entire launcher bays rotate.

    NIN rules... I thought the special effects looked good enough to stream for free. I've only watched the first sequel once, feel like this will be the same.

    My opinion... The trailers looked like crap. Nine Inch Nails sucks. Jared Leto is an a-hole. Plot sounded dumb to begin with. Not even worth streaming when it drops for free on Tubi.

    From what I’ve been hearing, he’s not even the worst part of the problem here. Just bad acting all around and a bad script giving a lot of goofy dialogue and terrible story.

    I don’t know, they seem to be lacking a carapace. Although the face thingies are a bit crabby. Hopefully they more like snow crab, cause that stuff is so good even without seasoning or butter, nice and naturally sweet. Now I’m gettin hungry again

    The Predator race seem to be based off of crabs, if I'm reading their morphology correctly. If that's the case...

    Between you and me, I suspect it likely owes a fair bit to the fact that those ~1 million people who survived the First Space War by luck or good judgement ultimately spread out a bit rather than staying in a single large community. It's not just the survivors on Luna or in the space colony clusters at the Lagrange points. The survivors living on Earth spread out and founded a bunch of small towns and a couple small cities as we saw in the postwar arc of Super Dimension Fortress Macross. If the clones chose to live in or near those same small communities, you could end up with populations small enough for that to start to become an issue. (One male soldier in the postwar arc implies that men outnumber women after the war, so it's possible that a cloning with an eye towards rebalancing the gender ratio may have contributed as well.)

    A million people is orders of magnitude above what you would need to minimize recessive disorders. I suspect the hereditary diseases have more to do with the cloning itself than limited numbers, although they do tend to complicate other without some management.

    I did some checking, and it seems that Predator: Badlands producer Ben Rosenblatt confirmed your hypothesis is correct in an interview with IGN published yesterday. Per Rosenblatt: TBH, that borders on "distinction without difference" in terms of my reaction. "No humans were harmed" is kind of the antithesis of a Predator movie, IMO. The Predator taking down a goofy all-CG space critter and getting splattered with food dye doesn't have the same visceral impact or invoke the same fear that seeing one kill and take trophies from actual humans does. The same goes for watching our intern space hunter whack a bunch of unfeeling robots. (There's a reason the Star Wars prequel trilogy used droids as the enemy... so they could be offed en masse without the audience sympathizing with them at all.) I'm not sure the comics, games, etc. have ever been canon there... but the second movie didn't really do anything except briefly let the protagonist into a misty, indistinct room on their ship for a bit so they could spook him, hand him a trophy for reasons unclear, and then go about their business. They stayed pretty inscrutable. It's not the same as having one of their interns spend two hours getting the snot kicked out of him as a focus character.

    It's entirely possible that the PG-13 was achieved solely because of the blood and other bodily fluids being non-red. I'm reminded of the Transformers movies getting away with Bumblebee essentially doing a Predator spine pull, in slow motion, in crisp 8K IMAX 3D Smellovision UHD, because the enemy wasn't human and the "blood" was a yellow-green "robot juice." The property was doing that as soon as the second movie. And that's even without considering the comics, games, etc. The fact they have a proper species name at all - "Yautja" - means they've long been de-fanged.
