    Welcome !

    Make sure to post the progress on the kit in the workbench section. I’d love to see how it goes together. Personally I really only have space for the 1/35 kits these days and passed on the big brother, but still would like to see it built

    Burning bush, he’s wearing the bush

    So, he’s shoved into a basket to float down the river, raised as a prince in Skeletor’s court, winds up killing one of Skeletor’s henchmen, has to flee to a far off country as a result, and gets a supernatural message from a burning bush? 😁

    It's sad that John Erwin passed away. He would definitely have been in the movie.

    Yeah, the lack of rhyme or reason was what threw me... since Dune Messiah is 3/4 the length of Children of Dune but that one somehow got published as a single volume where the others were split into anywhere from 2-4 pieces. I've been able to confirm that Toru Yano wrote for SF and that he did those translations in that timeframe for the same publisher. I just gotta find if there's a center to that Venn diagram.

    Those early fleets likely had some war surplus Destroids (or the knowhow to make same) that could be adapted into the early model Workroids like we see in Macross 7. Not to mention some of those early fleets had Zentradi warships as part of their escort details, meaning they also had Zentradi crew who could assist with construction in lieu of such equipment in a pinch. My assumption - apropos of nothing in particular - would be that it would probably take a small fleet like that several years to build up a large town. They'd probably need to start with bulk manufacturing prefabricated housing units like the ones we see Hikaru living in after the war in SDF Macross and basic infrastructure like water treatment plants and/or power plants. (Though that prefab housing is said to have its own independent power systems via solar panels.) From there they could gradually scale up to urban planning with buildings for businesses, high density housing, and proper infrastructure. (Honestly, feels like I ought to refer this one out to someone who studied the growth of towns during the gold rush.)

    Hobby Japan Web has a nice overview of the new 1:24 Wave STTC! I received the Wave RSC kit last week and must say it's quite nice! The detailing is very com-parable to the Hi-Meta R figures in detail! Some features are more detailed on the Wave kit while others are a little nicer on the HMR versions, of course Bandai still has the upper hand since everything is tamp-printed and have metal joints and feat for posing.... 😉

    Because He-Man is Eternia's Moses?? LOL, idk.

    @pengbuzz Praying for you guys! I thought they would have already been treating her cancer? - MT

    This looks better than I thought. Just don’t really get the story, but seeing him as HE Man fighting Skeletor actually looked pretty cool, even though I’m sure he doesn’t get his powers till the end of this movie. Not sure why they’d send the most powerful hero away and kinda seems like everyone knows who he is

    I SO want this to be just....decent and FUN! Fingers crossed!
  15. TangledThorns
    I don't know... we've seen worse but won't pay to see it in the theater unless it has good reviews on RT and here.

    Japanese publishers print those multi-volume novels in "pocket sized" editions, and there's no particular rhyme or reason for where they break up the books. For example, my Japanese version of The Hobbit comes in 2 volumes. Perhaps the translation of Children of Dune would have resulted in 4 volumes that were too thin (for the market and/or the publisher), so they opted for 3 slightly thicker volumes?

    Hmm, I guess the clincher for me is for small-to medium sized pops (10k-100k). Those probably need to rely more on their ships and maybe exploit local terrain (dig out artificial caverns with mecha support) if they don't have a nice city to fall back on. Thinking about cases like an adhoc caravan of cargo craft and all.

    I think I'm leaning more toward a straight review of the GBP but with a few comparisons. I've wrestled with format a bunch but I think I'm going to review the DX GBP Accessory (both Hikaru and Roy's colors) in one video like I just did with the multiple Yamato releases... it will just focus on the GBP and not the VF-1 toys unless I notice something along the way that shows me the VF-1 toys aren't just exact reissues.

    They’re cute, but I really wish a company like boss fights got the rights to do D&D in 1/18. I like their fantasy stuff in that scale, but these are kind of skippable

    I don’t know, kinda looks like a somewhat standard lower body and the upper kinda looks proportional height wise for a modified Scopedog, but a wider look with much bigger arms. The gun kinda looks similar to the berserga and gives a smaller kind of look to this A.T., so it may height wise be pretty similar to a basic scopedog, but I don’t think it would be a fun fight in hand to hand combat for the other pilot with those gorilla arms. I guess we’ll find out if the height stats are listed

    I thought that robot mode was oddly-proportioned and ugly, but you managed to find a pose that makes him look cool nonetheless. Kudos, Mike!

    I watched your latest video today and I saw that there might have been a tease at the end of it....GBP showdown? Twich

    That's not a bad headcanon. I like that. Especially since the Lanthanite name is derived from the Greek λανθάνειν (Lanthanein, "to lie hidden"), referencing how they've existed hidden among Humanity on Earth for many thousands of years (allegedly). There were El-Aurians at least visiting Earth in 1893, and it wouldn't be surprising if there were some that decided to stay there permanently in years past. IMO, the main problem with how Holly Hunter's character is written is that Star Trek audiences are used to a certain level of professionalism from Starfleet officers and that's almost totally missing from her character. Pelia can kind of get away with it because she's one of the minor secondary characters on SNW and she's mainly there to be comic relief. Nahla Ake's overly casual attitude definitely feels out of place for someone who's supposed to be running the most exclusive and demanding educational facility in the Federation. Also, since Starfleet Academy is a service academy... shouldn't her title be Superintendent not Chancellor? In past series (TNG, DS9, VOY, etc.), the head of the academy had the title of Superintendent. (Such as Rear Admiral Brand in TNG.) Edit: Come to think of it, isn't her rank a little low for that job too? The superintendent of Starfleet Academy is usually an admiral. Depends on the species and culture, I suppose... the El-Aurians live practically forever and they seem pretty well-balanced throughout. There's a running theme with the two exemplar Lanthenites we have that they both seem ill-equipped to handle their incredibly long lifespans. Pelia's a little unhinged because she's constantly bored and thrill-seeking. Nahla definitely has a lot of unprocessed trauma that's leading her to blow things way out of proportion, like the whole Caleb business.

    I bought these before the Empire arrived! That's correct! Keep those two apart when celebrating drinks!

    It's not a process, more like happenstance. This is how it usually works: 1- A new toy arrives but I already have my office completely covered in toys from whatever video/review I'm currently working on 2- That toy gets put into a closet or storage until I'm done with my current project 3- More toys come in and go into the closet or storage because these reviews take so long to do and I have so little time 4- I finally wrap up whatever I'm working on and grab whichever of the most recent releases strike me as the most different from existing toys. I prioritize new molds over repaints/reissues. If there are no new molds and I'm going to do a repaint, I'll look for the repaint that isn't about to have another release (because maybe I'll review both repaints at the same time). Similarly, if there's a toy about to come out that would be good to compare it to, then I'll hold off on reviewing that toy until the other one comes out. I'll make the occasional exception to the priority list if I feel like I've skipped a toy too many times or a lot of people are asking about it. 5- Then I go looking through storage for comparable toys to the one I've selected for review 6- Then I check anymoon for the reviews of those older toys that I've pulled out of storage as it helps me identify the cool new bits the most recent manufacturer has added and if they've solved any issues I had with prior renditions. 7- Often times, I'm let down by the quality of my older reviews. Sometimes it's the quality of the pictures, sometimes it's because I gloss over important details, sometimes I'm missing variants, etc. So, before I can move forward, I fix the existing review. The goal is for anymoon to be a sort of Wiki for Macross toys so if my old articles don't answer the questions I think people would have about a toy, then I need to address that. 8- Finally, I've got my old toys out, I feel very well versed in their pros and cons, and I'm ready to review the newest toy. Of course, while I'm doing this, new toys have arrived. Rinse and repeat.
