Honestly, I didn't really notice Hook's head's black void until you guys pointed it out. I think it would have helped had his purple chest accoutrement been adjusted to sit a centimeter higher. Why they didn't do that or just make the purple thing a little larger to cover it is anybody's guess. I honestly don't think it's out of a lack of care on either Takara's or Hasbro's parts. I think they're invested (except when it comes to designing a good jet, then they're all out on smoke breaks) in doing a good job, but I'm thinking there are an abundance of factors that determine why things are done the way they are. As for the offset leg bots, Takara's not the first to do so, and while it does look a little off, I get the logic behind it. The only other option would have been to give him birthing hips with a wider thigh gap to line up the legs midway, but I'm sure that decision would have gone over like so much steaming slag. With that in mind, I think they chose the right option. Moreover, chances are there will be at least one add-on kit that addresses it and other complaints from the fandom, and beyond.- 17440 replies

My biggest gripe with this show, is that we have to contend with the established DSC backdrop stupidity of humans/earth having dropped out of the Federation. It is so galling to me that something humanity fought and stood for all of previous Star Trek was wiped out in a single episode because of "we don't have warp drive!".

Yeah, I don't have much faith in them being able to pull it off. I like that they have Holly Hunter and Dadmiral, but right now that is not enough. I'll give it a look, but if it is too STD() then I'll pass.

I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon, Deathscythe EW/Roussette is releasing this month and then there is this floating around:

The black block is probably the one thing that sticks out most to me. The thing with the legs is understandable but the way they implemented it looks like someone forgot to slide it all the way. I think with a different sculpt in that area it would look less egregious.- 17440 replies

The circuit board looking internal parts on the shoulder, arms and wings might look better if they changed it from green to the same metallic color of the internal parts of the feet and crotch area.

I agree. In battroid doesn't quite come together, and looks very insect like. But plane mode is really all I care about.

The Pose+ is really tempting. I'll have to see where all it ends up for preorder as I don't think they are shipping to the US currently.

Kinda. Hook's backpack shifts, so there actually is a gap and his head is inside it. I don't disagree, and it's a common complaint. The designers explained that it was necessary to leave enough space between Scrapper and Mixmaster and have Devastator stand in a neutral pose. All that said, while I won't do a full review and get into all the pros and cons until he's finished, I did put together the one-armed, one-legged Devastator myself, and it feels much more solid than the Combiner Wars one. Don't know really yet if it's fair to say he has better articulation, but quality of the joints is better, the connections between Hook and Long Haul are better, I think the connections between Bonecrusher and the rest of the torso are a bit better, and the whole gestalt should be much easier to pose.- 17440 replies

That’s an interesting transition. Very reddish from the top view, but more greenish towards the bottom

What are you impressed by? My eyes are always drawn to the black cavity in his chest (that is the top Hooks head right?) and the odd connection between the thighs and the feet (it looks like Scrapper should slide a couple of mm inwards).- 17440 replies

It's kinda cute. If the price isn't too egregious I could definately see it making a good desk buddy.

Watched Episode 3... the only dislike is the gold bling these particular Klingons wear. Other than that, very good episode. Anyone wants to guess that Ortega leaves Star Fleet (as opposed to normal way Red Shirts leave)?

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps
Thom replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I liked it a lot! Felt the story was good and straight forward, without too many other side plots muddling it up. The acting hit all the marks, and I really liked the feelings evoked by the performances. 8.5/10.- 120 replies
