    Yeah; that happened to my Leigoss transformable fighter, and ultimately led to its' demise :(.

    I don't understand how anyone involved on it's initial concept right to the engineering in CAD didn't say "Hey, this whole thing is NOT a good idea. Lets scrape it."
  6. Raikkonen
    Running out of space? Or becoming more selective?

    It didn't need the whole android with super stength and magic technology exploring it's own conscious. Only explaination is that the writer wanted to stamp his signature into the lore and that was the best he came up with, or, he plans to have a mary sue barehand showdown with the Xeno. Remove all that sticky fudge, and the concept of a ship carrying various lethal species and crashing on Earth is alone a solid concept to build on. Also, when in the alien lore will the protoganist be a male??? It's really screaming now that the alien is no longer the Xeno, but instead it's every slender paled skinned brunette.

    I’ve been watching the "Activate your alt-mode" from afar (since I don’t have an Instagram account). Now that Shockwave has been determined as the character it would be funny if the further choices are water based alt mode and the mode is a steam powered, icon clad dreadnaught.

    RIP Tomo Sakurai. Absolutely frakkin' crazy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomo_Sakurai My brother was telling me and he (like an idiot) said "Mei Ling" (so I thought he was talking about Metal Gear), but I didn't process it until I read about it seperately and told him about the same news he had just told me an hour before.

    @pengbuzz @tekering thanks for the heads up. Yeah once it’s in final position the figure will remain static.

    I wonder if some kind of tampo printing would work, i.e. applying the paint with a sponge and just hitting the raised structures.

    All good. Just glad you finally got to break out that blue Legioss and swoosh it around.

    I got my Legioss from HLJ back in the day. Still rember there was an issue with oil prices and the exhange rocketed and ended paykng a lot more in MXN. Lol. Pretty sure I have some old photos of when I got it. Remeber sending a friend some picks of the box. *Edit: Found the picks. Dated 2021. Remebering now it was hold in HLJ private warehouse because of covid for almost a year. It makes it 5 years, not six. I kinda mixed up the release date. My bad.

    Hours of delicate drybrush work await me. 😑 Can't wait to see the result! My experience as well. Don't try to pose it! 🤕

    Episode 2 is a lot worse. Noah Hawley ignores decades of continuity, reinventing the Xenomorph as a Terminator... 😑 ...an impossibly efficient and indiscriminate Terminator, even. 🙄 No hive, no incapacitated victims, no instinct for reproduction or propagation of the species... just Jason Vorhees in a cheap rubber suit. 😑

    Person I want to display it some 6” figures in my 80/90s nostalgia shelf and he might be a little bit too small for it but I will wait for the full reveal, maybe he is bigger than he looks. Rex seems to be the same size as the ThreeA Half Size one but I probably will like Bandai’s execution more and I’m no fan of the weather on the ThreeZero/ThreeA toys.
  19. Mog
    2020 felt like a decade’s worth of pain, so considering it to be two years sounds fair. 😉

    Those of us in Japan got the first Sentinel Legioss release in June of 2020. It seems hard to believe it's been five years already... 😯 ...but it's even harder to believe Mexico got it a year earlier. 😅

    Finally sitting down to watch this one myself... Really going hard on the thematic callbacks in this opening eh? I know Alien is pretty much a creatively dead property coasting on nostalgia and nothing else, but c'mon... at least put in a token effort to do something different. OK, suspension of disbelief is punctured worse than most xenomorph victims at this point. The idea that there is no traffic on the streets at all at midday in future Bangkok is absolutely laughable. Possibly the most unbelievable thing yet. For how absurdly little damage the crash does, I am still going to say "Bangkok without traffic" remains the least realistic thing in the show so far. Anyone else think Neverland looks like ****ing Jurassic Park when they take off? This is a huge pet peeve of mine when it comes to Alien sequels and spinoffs. The original Alien movie was as scary as it was because the crew of the Nostromo were professionals who did (almost) everything right and still got killed by the xenomorph. Every subsequent title in the franchise has seen a sharp decline in protagonist self-preservation instincts to or below standard horror movie levels such that by Prometheus and Covenant you'd swear the humans WANT to get eaten. When it comes to the first episode, I have to say I am not impressed. Bemused, certainly. Even a little disappointed. Is there a story here worth telling, or are they just jerking off like Fede Alvarez was in Romulus?
  22. pengbuzz
    Awesome! Looking forward to that. Just be careful on the joints for that figure; from my experiences with Imai's Mospeada line, they're really brittle and fragile. O.o
  23. Froy
    Finally got some time to open my Legioss and Tread. Edit: *5 years and finally they are together. These are my very first Mospeada toys. Little fella has been boxed unopened for *5 years. Thought the Tread was never going to happen. Tread is big and with a huge wing span is hard to frame it at arms length. Although the connection feel kind easy is very strong even with out the adapter piece. A quick size comparison pick with Bandai DX Super VF-1S. Never wished for a Green Legioss but the completionist bug has already bitten. Lol.

    That is exceptional! That’s a great model and great display.
  25. Papa Rat
    Thanks. Yeah after I get done with touch ups and some brush details I have a nice brown oil wash ready and waiting. 👍
  26. pengbuzz
    Looks really good! One thing I might suggest is an oil wash: thinned down oil paint applied into crevasses and corners to bring them out more.

    Well, you're not wrong. 😄 I was just thinking that the hybrids, given their heightened durability and abilities relative to the average human would stand a far greater chance of facing down a Xenomorph. I'm sure acid will do a number on them, too, but they definitely have an advantage. Too, it seems like Weyland-Yutani already had a weapon that could subdue the Alien, if only for a short time. Morrow, a cyborg, seems to know what he's doing from experience and has thus far demonstrated greater success at non-lethally subduing an Alien than ever depicted in the franchise, AFAIK anyway. Since the Colonial Marines were neither hybrids nor cyborgs and didn't have Morrow's fancy bug-zapper/webber-upper, I'm thinking all were shelved and buried prior to Aliens, or at least that's the story they'll tell for continuity's sake. The Xenomorphs are equal opportunity killers.
