    I want more HMR Orguss releases instead of the one and done.

    Nope. Deathly silence from Bandai. I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for these. My feeling is, if Bandai had planned to release the FP's they would have released them together with the Bogue SV-262Hs, following the trend of recent releases which are bundled together with the FPs, Such as Hayate's VF-31J Super, Alto's VF-25F Super, Michael's VF-25G Super, Alto's VF-25F Tornado, Alto's VF-171EX, the recent Brera VF-27 Super.

    From the resin prototype of ML Ultra Magnus I can see new joints in the hands, hips, knees, ankles, and Matrix Chamber. Ultra Magnus can finally do its own G1 box art pose. And I also want the G1 Datsun brothers to be released in ML along with the rest of the cars, Seekers, Dinobots, and as many other G1.

    I don't think that info is correct. Matt Smith will be in it. https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-starfighter-cast

    Star Wars MGS TIE Reaper x2.

    The cynic in me is saying watch Star Wars Starfighter not be about starfighters and space combat, but be some Bloodsport knockoff fighting tournament set in the Star Wars universe.

    Hell of a cast. And an Oscar-winning cinematographer.

    Oh, that's cool to know someone who worked on the Charger's development! Like I said earlier, I don't know if it's going to win over the V8 crowd, and I'm not sure the Daytona actually counts as a muscle car, but I definitely prefer whatever it is to the electric "Mustang."

    Yeah, I keep seeing YouTube reviewers saying the same thing about how it’s a great time to be a Transformer collector now. I was really impressed with the Studio Series Optimus Prime for how anime accurate it is and the price point (at least compared to Macross toys). And I’ve always had a weakness for Devastator. My only regret is missing out on that Legacy Menasor set. I’m still a little on the fence about the Age of the Primes combiners using that frame system, but I guess for the sake of accuracy and stability it makes sense.

    I think one of my biggest WTFs about this show is that Morrow is supposed to be a cyborg apparently incorporating tech which is over 65 years old... but yet can still interface with modern tech like it's not an issue. That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. TVs from 65 years ago aren't exactly going to be able to interface (easily) with tech from 2025. Trying to imagine that level of future-proofing is very difficult for me to accept. I hope there's some bit of explanation for this. I honestly really want Kirsch to catch him.

    Too damned long. I was foaming at the mouth with the first photos. C'mon Arcadia, give me something NEW which I have wanted since college.

    Welcome back to the fold! The toys have come a long way, and for the most part, the SS86 line has been delivering the toys that I think the majority of us have wanted from Hasbro/Takara since the 80s. I've been in the game since it all kicked off in Sept '84, and I'm thrilled that they're finally making figs of the G1 characters that are a balanced mix of toon and original toy, although they tend to skew more towards the animation aesthetic, which seems to be what most fans want. But yeah, we're eating well, as the saying goes, and while it took them about thirty years too long to get around to it, I'm glad they're doing it now while the G1 generation is still around to enjoy them. You picked a good time to come back to the hobby, as G1 fans have never been so well served. Cheers and enjoy!

    I can attest that when this one was first pitched there was a good deal of debate over whether it was "crazy enough to work" or just regular crazy. 🤔 I worked on this one personally, and while I'm limited in what I can say by a raft of NDAs I've been dying to hear what someone outside the fast feedback fleet has to say about it, so I greatly appreciate you sharing your experience. Yeah, TPTB felt that the Charger lost a certain je ne sais quoi without making some proper engine noise. I know some were hoping a simulated engine note would offset some of the hesitancy potential buyers might feel at the prospect of an otherwise-silent muscle car. One of the tradeoffs of e-motors vs. an internal combustion engine and mechanical transmission. When there's nothing mechanical stopping you from delivering maximum torque to the wheels even at 0rpm, certain precautions have to be taken in launch calibration to avoid damaging or outright destroying tires on an aggressive step-in. Even a comparatively dozy BEV like the Fiat 500e can easily lay down a strip of smoking rubber or shred a tire without that calibration. (I found that out the hard way.) I'm glad to hear that you enjoy it, your earlier difficulty aside.

    I was hoping for a showcase of the articulation, which is kinda the point of this line, but I guess they're milking the anticipation for all it's worth. Anyway, the hips are now separated from the rest of the red slab and that separation is cleverly hidden behind UM's WWE belt. Moreover, there's clearly a hinge visible behind his shin plate that corresponds nicely to a knee joint. Needless to say, I'm sure Takara succeeded in imbuing the fig with at least a modicum of leg articulation and they did an excellent job of hiding the changes necessary to pull it off. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought they'd tackle this fig, at least not yet given the number of first season bots that have yet to get the ML treatment. However, this is a nice flex of their problem-solving capabilities and talents, as this guy poses more problems to be solved than the average car-bot. While I'm not yet invested in the ML line, from both a G1 fan's POV and an engineering POV, I enjoy seeing how Takara approaches each toy to give it the articulation that so many of us, like me, wish they'd had originally. Many of those old toys are going to prove challenging, like UM here, and I'm excited to see how they solve the obstacles that each toy presents while maintaining the look of the OG toys. I hope Megatron is on the to-do list. And Prowl. And Soundwave and his cassette minions, who could all do with some updated engineering since the MP fig.

    This band is better than The Cure. Was never a fan of them. Bauhaus is far more superior.

    Even Ms. Leavitt is impressed with your four Olsen specials. Gotta say I like the old darker color more.

    I just saw the preview yesterday and was kinda surprised there’d be a sequel. Especially so soon
  27. Big s
    BBTs price is pretty high at $99. I’ll wait and see if anyone has it where I might have some points. I haven’t really wanted a spidey figure in a while

    So basically how I got X, V, and T. Well, at least I won't have to jump through hoops switching regions to get the DLC like with T, which is odd because X and V had their DLC unlocked with the physical editions.
