  1. Past hour

    I actually liked the character as a crazed baddie in the first and maybe even second film, but the third film went so far off the bent rails from the second movie, that there was no way that train wasn’t going off a cliff. Let the sequels be and move on and please don’t do a prequel type story either

    Remaking the original is a bad idea. The CGI and special effects weren't the problem. Sure, they're not as flashy as Legacy or Ares, but they've held up reasonably well. The problem with the original is the slow pacing.

    Plenty of room under there for them. That block already has that pointy thing at the top of the nose cone that makes me cringe every time I transform my DX and expect to shear it off with the chest plate. these are on the sides and out of mortal danger if I just leave them. 😉

    Iger and Bergman 100% made the right call there. There's no way they were going to be able to sell the audience on more of Ben Solo, after that painfully cheap and forced redemption in the last movie of the sequel trilogy. He was such an ineffective and unintimidating villain that they literally had to bring someone else in to pinch hit for him in the final film of the trilogy. Lucasfilm might have thought that was a good idea, but their judgment under Dave Filoni is suspect at best. Let the past die, Adam. Kill it if you have to. It's the only way to become what you were meant to be... the guy they hire when they can't get Keanu Reeves.

    That makes a ton of sense and is a solid rationalization for the transformed shape. My engineer brain immediately wants to whine that if we're letting reality slip in, then it's no where near enough surface area to be an effective radiator, but the rest of me can buy off on that. Nice one! While working on the shield today and staring at the line art for reference, it suddenly dawned on me that the "hump" down the middle of the back doesn't go all the way out onto the shield like it does for the 25. I somehow missed that until now. Annoying, because that's an awful lot more work to change, but I can't unsee it now, so I guess that's next.

    Wow I can't keep up with all the new kits, its an amazing push from all these companies!!

    Clone Solo, lol

    Stars and Stripes masked Casey

    Well, he could always be a clone. That seems to be a thing...

    I agree with the logic that this was a dead character and a post death movie of them being alive could break the universe, but they had a good actor an award-winning director wanting to make a movie - you do what it takes to make that work.

    Holy crap! This was unexpected. Itagaki-san provided many hours of quality entertainment for me. Loved his work and his aesthetic. His games treated you like an intelligent human, generally didn't hold your hand, and punished you for failure, but kept success within reach - if you got gud. I also remember he would answer questions in a monthly column in one of the game mags, he did that for a while. He sometimes answered the question straight, sometimes irreverently, but always entertainingly. Wherever you are now, It's more fun and much more awesome now that you're there.

    So is that the package art in the background? Mercy Rabbit is back for this one?

    I'm loving the Tread. It looks great!
  16. Big s
    Definitely. It looks like the times it was made in, and actually a bit ahead of its time in many ways

    They’re available on their own website and a few oddball spots that sell third party items. Haven’t seen them on too many of the bigger places though
  18. Big s
    Oddly a lot of hobby and toy shows end up with a few booths that don’t allow pics or videos. It even happens with games as well. Sometimes it’s due to licensing and other times it’s due to incomplete items and other times it’s something that just can’t be explained by reasons unknown

    What Bandai versions are you referring for the Zentradi soldiers? Has anyone ordered the new soldiers, and how do you find them?

    1/55's revisited

    Shawn replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    I'm certainly not the Takatoku guy 'round these parts, my middle name is 'Sprue' But when I went through my hundreds of model kits before ebay and the like appeared (meaning all store bought) I never had a missing decal or instruction sheet. In fact the Nichimo kits often have an 'inspector' label in some of the boxes. I'll be the first to say my world is a SUPER small sampling, and might not even be directly comparable, since the model kits all come in sealed bags thrown into boxes vs Takas that have all loose pieces layered and taped in, but I don't think the Japanese manufacturers in the day were as careless as we may think looking at the current, often 'frankensteined from various sources' inventory found in the markets today. Just my 2 cents!

    Thanks for that! Always love seeing what kits they have coming out. Shame about the others not letting any videos be taken in their booths. You'd think they'd want free publicity!
  22. Duke Togo
    I think the original looks perfect.

    Thanks for the tour!

    Happy Birthday! Pretty quiet! Probably out celebrating! XD

    Here's my video of the event. Attending the hobby show is increasingly becoming a social event for me, and as such I spent more time standing around talking and less time documenting the event. Plus I was having many problems with my lousy video camera. https://odysee.com/@stevethefishdotnet:2/2025-All-Japan-Model-Hobby-Show-全日本模型ホビーショー:e

    Or just leave it alone and watch Turbo Kid instead if you really need that 80’s vibe

    Somehow he didn’t survive
