  1. Past hour
  2. It was a good popcorn flick to coast through a few lazy hours on. Not great, but good and enjoyable. Plus, I watched it at home where I had better popcorn and cold Coca Cola from the fridge rather than the Pepsi-crap at the theater. And Shira Haas... I'd be taken by that Widow!
  3. It's Khara. Lazy slop is pretty much a two-word summary of their entire original filmography. Did you SEE Rebuild? It's basically just Anno jerking himself off for three movies and change. It's a franchise series. Of course it was. They're literally listed in the credits. 🤣 It absolutely was fanservice. The 0 Gundam looks exactly like the RX-78-2, and its pilot is voiced by Tohru Furuya. There's no other word for that but fanservice. Especially since both Setsuna and Ribbons swap GN drives into older Gundams for their last fight instead of finishing with their season two upgrades.
  4. Apparently the mace accessory from the Centurion Drone set fits on Megatron. Hasbro should have included it or something similar since Optimus came with his axe.
  5. It looks great and my pleasure. I hope he enjoyed building it - it's really cool, especially with the LED bricks. Mine didn't come with the little spikes on the horns - maybe he added those to make it look cooler?
  6. Yes, that "radically different context" is what I find to be tasteless and desperate. Metafiction is usually a gateway for lazy writing and this takes the cake. Kira Jesus Yamato knows we've had more than enough franchises dealing with "canon events" recently, and I didn't think Gundam or Khara would stoop that low to be such a lazy slop imitation riding on the most recent Hollywood trends while also bathing in their own sea of self indulgence. This is why I'm now more than ever convinced that this show was meticulously planned and controlled by some committee that wanted to make sure all the boxes were checked. As for 00, it wasn't fanservice - 0 Gundam was quite literally the first Gundam we saw in 00. Its pilot had a very clever twist at the end of the first season that revealed his true identity as its pilot, and it made perfect sense for the protagonist to fight it because it was originally his "god" that he had to overcome. 00 was not perfect, but I think it nailed that aspect of the 0 Gundam.
  7. If they ever ran into an ace like Max, it’s perfectly understandable why an average Zent’ would probably piss themself.
  8. Props to @Test_Pilot_2 for bringing this to my attention. Finally gave it to my son and had him assemble it. . . Didn’t expect the final assembled product to be so big:
  9. Hahahahahahahahahaaahahaha!😂 In all seriousness this is a 1/4 scale figure which is essentially three figures in it's own right with vastly different paint apps for each. My guess is this will be north of the $800 USD range and I wouldn't be surprised to see in go for $1200.
  10. Today
  11. Looks like a fun one with some cool options. From what I gather is that you definitely need to do some test fitting first and some minor surgery here and there depending on how things go, but nothing too complicated
  12. No worries, I was just wondering which you were talking about and good eye! It is the KO of the Yamato suit! And like I said, I was thinking of waiting for the possible 3Z release but after putting the suit on this figure, I realize it may not even fit the 3Z since it does really fit like a glove. Wonder if anyone has tried fitting it or wants to try if they have either version of the suit and a 3Z valk? Haha, I noticed that as I was reviewing the pics and someone else also pointed that out but too lazy to do a better setup or retake the pics so it can remain a fun easter egg.
  13. Man, I really hope the pricing on this isn't something idiotic... Also interesting to see Josh Nizzi's name pop up. I think he did some of the Bayverse Trasformers designs, like the motorcycle triplets?
  14. As long as it isn't written by Brandon Easton this time. Not a fan of his work. Also, who's that WRAITH there?
  15. It helps. But I think '80s kids seem to have the right mix of nostalgia and disposable income; time and time again G1 sells more than Beast Wars more than Unicron Trilogy more than Bayverse.
  16. I think having all G1 episodes available to watch on Hasbro Pulse's youtube channel and rereleasing Transformers The Movie in theaters helps younger fans get more into G1.
  17. I just realized that the Apple symbol looks like a puddle directly underneath your Valkyrie. Did it have an accident?
