General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Chronocidal replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, I was more interested in the ship itself than the figures, but would also be annoying to not have a figure to put in it. Went ahead and pre-ordered both, I've got a year to plan for where to put it. -

Very much appreciated. It's rare that we folks on this side of the pond get to see displays at these huge WF conventions in real time and with an English-speaking narrator, no less. Enjoyed the walkthrough. What's with all the R-type stuff? Anniversary or just riding a popularity high? Modest Macross showing. I really wish Arcadia had a booth with some new valk designs and their VF-3000 ready to go with a near release date. Perchance to dream, alas.

I'll second The Beast in Me for a watch. Excellent all-around.

Regarding the Glaugs, I kinda figured. Probably Experten's work. Funny they only showed the Alpha in Soldier mode. Tough to get a good idea what fighter will look like when the wings are generally obscured by the arms. The hosts' awkward handling of the toys didn't help. Honestly, initially I thought it was going to be a low-vis version, and that piqued my curiosity. I'm not really feeling the huge shoulder cannons, though. If I end up going in on one of these, it'll most likely be the Omega, as I like it the best of the three. I do like like the color scheme of the AWACS one, though. It's a bit goofy with those huge canards and the huge lance, but its uniqueness is its charm.

Nobody counts that one. Sorta like how most people try to forget Star Wars sequels or Alien 3

Some goodies there. I'll add Dishonored to the list. In light of how well Fallout has been done, I'd love to see either a Deus Ex or Halflife series with the same rigorous attention to detail. I think Starcraft would end up being a Starship Troopers clone, but a Command and Conquer:Tiberian Sun series could be cheesy good fun.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Focslain replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Agreed, Orange's take on the series does seem a little darker then the OG anime. When you mentioned bailing on Stampede I figured you didn't finish it so just wanted to give a heads up on Stargaze. -
That is glorious, dude. 😍 I'm not going to disparage anyone's opinions, but there are a couple misconceptions that need to be addressed: While it's possible you found Katee Sackoff or Grace Park attractive, there's nothing sexy about Kara "Starbuck" Thrace or Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, either as written on the page, portrayed by the actors, or photographed by the production. In fact, series showrunner Ronald D. Moore deliberately avoided objectifying either woman (nor any human characters on the show), wanting to emphasize stark realism and gritty drama. The only character overtly sexualized is Number Six, a Cylon. The original series, on the other hand, is full of sex appeal, with Maren Jensen (Athena), Laurette Spang (Cassiopeia), Anne Lockhart (Sheba), and Jane Seymour (Serina) often appearing in flowing off-the-shoulder gowns with plunging necklines. The 1978 original was definitely sexier. 😋 Heck, even the guys showed more skin! 😆 In the 21st century? That was never gonna happen. 😅 You're right about that. By trying to be more realistic, NuBSG featured much more understated costume and production design, and Bear McCreary's music has none of the soaring, operatic grandeur of the classic score. "Adventurous" and "goofy" are the complete antithesis of the Galactica concept, even as originally conceived by Glen A. Larson. The miniseries was outlined as a desperate war for survival, and only became an "adventure of the week" after ABC suddenly expanded it into a full season of television. Executive meddling resulted in a tonally-inconsistent, goofy mess that was even worse after the network retooled the series and slashed the budget for its second season: Will any of you try to defend Galactica 1980? 😝

I think I saw them in an auction as resin kits. Digging that alpha version of the Alpha :). The wings look super strange though so fighter mode might be goofy.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

I didn’t hate the remake, but it did make me rewatch and really enjoy the original much more. The old one had very minimalistic things going on, but it really was great fun and much more enjoyable overall -
General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
$219 without a figure seems really high for the cost. It’s not like it transforms and has articulated legs and arms the $149 for the five figures is a bit more reasonable though since it is the full set -
The Ghost In The Shell - New Anime coming 2026
Big s replied to no3Ljm's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It’s not that, it’s that the animation looks terrible on the new fist of the North Star. It kinda has that ugly berserk series from just a few years ago kinda look to it. Sorta more like a cheap video game cut scene from an old PlayStation game. The old Fist of the North Star looked so much better than what they’ve shown so far and that show is like 40 something years old at this point- 40 replies

The most interesting things in these pics are the Variable Glaugs. I wonder who's making them and whether they're just garage kits, like Experten's, or actual wide-release toys? The VG has been high on my toy want list for a long time.

I don't own an MP Blaster, and I've been fine with that as he just never carried the same importance as Soundwave, but oh man do I want that Steeljaw. Hopefully they'll make Ramhorn, Eject, and Rewind for him as well and sell the cassettes as either two or four packs.- 18115 replies

18cm is Voyager-ish sized. I don't have a ruler to double check, but iirc Hasbro listed SS86 Optimus as 18.5cm, and Megatron (despite being the same head height) as 21.5cm.- 18115 replies
