    This year marks the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. In the UK the Spitfire, and to a (sadly) lesser extent the Hurricane [1], are the symbols of the Battle but over the past few years I've become a little bit fascinated with an aircraft that is much less well known: the Boulton-Paul Defiant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulton_Paul_Defiant Now don't get me wrong - I'm not one of those people who is going to claim that the Defiant was some kind of latent super-fighter that could have taken on a F-22 and won - but I just find its story interesting. The main reason I've bought it up is that it never ceases to amazes me the little undiscovered side-alleys that still wait to surprise the fan of World War II military history, and one of those I only discovered today was that the Defiant had a single seat, forward firing gun armed [2] variant planned, which somehow I'd never heard of before!: https://www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_boulton_paul_P94.html [1] If one were really reaching, one could also class the Blackburn Skua and Roc as "Battle of Britain" fighter aircraft... [2] The Defiant could fire forward, if the gunner locked the guns in position, but only the pilot could then fire them but as he had no gunsight...

    McCoy just likes to snark. It's his main character trait. One of the very first things we're told about Kirk waaaaaaay back in TOS "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is that the man was a certified workaholic with no time for romance in his life. Gary Mitchell described him as "a stack of books with legs". He was such a workaholic that he famously had to be tricked into ordering himself to take shore leave. We do meet a few of his ex-girlfriends in TOS, but it's clear in almost every case that the relationship was short and ended rather badly. Most were in his academy days, when he wasn't quite as career-focused. For instance, the infamously awful villain of the show's final episode Janice Lester, hostile prosecutor Areel Shaw, and hostile baby momma Carol Marcus. In pretty much every case, Kirk's relationships were short and fell apart because he's Married to the Job. Most of Kirk's "romances" onscreen are him either under duress, being manipulated, or attempting to manipulate the femme fatale of the week. Like when he was given a false memory of being in a relationship with an enlisted crewman in "Dagger of the Mind", hooked up with Minamanee under the influence of amnesia in "The Paradise Syndrome", the one-sided crush Miri had on him in "Miri", Kodos's daughter trying to get close to him so she can assassinate him in "The Conscience of the King", the Scalosians attempting to use him and other Enterprise crew as breeding stock in "Wink of an Eye", etc. The man had a grand total of one functioning relationship, and that's one that happened offscreen after Star Trek VI... a woman named Antonia that he met after retiring. Unless you count the shippers (which Kirk makes a meta joke about by calling the mind meld their "first date" in the "New Life and New Civilizations") who see Kirk and Spock as a couple instead of heterosexual life partners. Then it's two. Strange New Worlds's Kirk is on-brand with the TOS depiction... a man generally too busy to be interested in romance, and definitely not the kind of guy who goes around hitting on women the way Abramsverse Kirk did. (The whole introduction of Kirk back in "Charades" was a massive refutation of Chris Pine's dimwitted fratboy arsehole take on Kirk.)

    Hot Toys is running out of ideas and kitbashing whatever they can to make money * According to HT’s write up “loosely here” - This version of Miles has been infected by the Facehugger and the Symbonite comes forth and changes in the costume has shown up. *

    Wings are mounted on the gakken! Knees and arms still need a lot of work though

    I do have some concerns with this figure. I haven't pulled the trigger on ordering it yet, though I'm really tempted. The price is high, which is understandable with current prices and considering the size, but I do need to know that I'll feel like it was money well-spent. I don't have any experience with Pose+ (or Art Storm) except for the Zillion Tricharger, which I've had two of sitting in their boxes waiting for some free time for about a year. I finally took those out and they were... fine. They were fine. Not quite durable enough to be a toy, and not quite fancy enough or with enough higher quality materials to justify their price (I think they were in the $300s, if memory serves). Just not encouraging for me on this one. I do also recall the Art Storm Megazone 23 Garland, which was about this price, shiny, and had some poor reviews once people actually had it in hand. So, still on the edge deciding on getting this (will I have regrets later if I don't?), but these zoomed in plastic shots aren't selling me.

    I applaud Dodge for both trying something different AND giving customers options. Heck, I hope they really give people what they want and stick a Hemi in the Charger... even if, judging by Ram, the Hurricane is faster, cheaper, and gets better gas mileage. (Tows more, too, but who uses muscle cars for towing?) Bringing up longevity isn't really a selling point for me. I get tired of the same old thing... Longest I've ever owned a car is around 8 years. What's more, I like a lot of the tech they've added to gasoline cars over the years, too... ABS, fuel injection, power steering, power windows, heated seats, auto dimming mirrors, parking cameras, GPS navigation, Android Auto, etc. I admire the looks of a lot of cars from the '60s and '70s, but I definitely don't want to daily a car from that era. The car community is a big tent. It's not about being right, it's about being right for you (or me). I'm glad that Dodge made the Charger Daytona. I'm glad that they took a different approach than Ford did with the Mustang Mach-E. It's stupid and silly, and I kinda love it for that. But I'm also glad they're coming out with the Hurricane version, and I was sincere when I said I hope they put a Hemi version out. Options are good.

    I know one of the stated goals Pose+ has mentioned is to simplify some aspects to make it more play friendly, but I wished they had stuck to a more canon interpretation on how the wings fold at the back like Sentinel did. The rear will it look more elegant that way.

    Nice pics and love this one the most.

    Absolutely beautiful!

    I think you’d have to photoshop out the blue background

    has anyone run into issues with printing the scanned decals that seem to be on colored paper (i.e. light blue color)? If so, how do you work around it?

    Very cool with the gearing @MechTech As for the scoops, the ones from the kit have blank fronts rather than open.
  25. Tking22
    So the new Anaconda is a horror-comedy reboot of the J-Lo Ice Cube film? Okay I guess, not sure who asked for this, but there it is.
  26. Big s
    Looks fun, but I feel like I just watched the whole movie

    So it was recently revealed that Netflix show writers are advised to write dialogue that essentially narrates the movie in order for audiences who have it on in the background can know what's going on. I don't know why I felt the need to mention that just now. It's a real mystery. Anyway I'm super depressed for some reason, how about you?
