  1. Past hour
  2. Uh new pic in color showing some of the updated joints plus the date.
  3. I get what you're implying, but honestly, I don't think anyone was really thinking that way in the 30s and 40s. I never made that correlation as a kid watching Batman in the 70s and 80s so I think that's more of a worldly adult POV. In retrospect, a lot of superheroes have questionable costumes hence the reason none of the actors in recent decades have worn skin-tight body suits like Batman '66 or Chris Reeves' Superman. Beyond that, the majority of female superheroes and villains were drawn to accentuate their feminine appeal, which generally means a fair bit of skin showing or just really form-fitting suits with ample bosom and plenty of cleavage. That trend carried over to sci-fi as well.
  4. She's coming along nicely @pengbuzz. How did the coolers turn out? Some nice clean masking @electric indigo. You could have just a display full of props, but this will be much nicer!
  5. Today
  6. Reminds me of the fan racer
  7. Looks like it’s coming along well
  8. Yeah, that’s a creepy situation. But imagine if it were a random dude in a Speedo with everyone acting normal while he’s having an important conversation with dignitaries and such. And it’s only him. Just that is pretty creepy. I don’t know how that task force would keep any credibility. Then again that’s probably why Batman had so many eyes on him when he brought out his sidekick
  9. Maybe they didn't want to offend those in the south? 🤔😄
  10. I need to build a plane for my rotating propeller, so let's bring some color to these winter days.
  11. Reminds me of the legs on the Revell IMAI kit box art. 😆
  12. Well, you're not wrong. It is odd that she traipses around in a thong regardless of situation or environment and nobody bats an eye or shows any discomfort. I realize she's fully prosthetic, but it seems she's anatomically endowed and fully functional. She sleeps topless in just panties next to a teenaged boy in 2nd season after emerging from the shower in said panties with naught but a towel draped around her neck to partially cover her breasts. Moreover, after he inquires whether she can have sex, she playfully invites him to find out. A bit risqué if not ethically questionable. If the genders were reversed, I think there would've been far more flack and attention given to it back when it was airing on tv. What's more disturbing about it is that she's a cop.
  13. Hahaha!! Armored Knee Pad Mode - 1S AKPM-1S This is what happens when you’re not afraid of alcohol. Hiccup.😭
  14. Cat guy, too. I thought about grabbing some of the other kits for the Constructicons, primarily the ones with replacement arms, but the expense just doesn't seem worth it to me when so much of what's in them would just stay in the box. Hence my wish for an arms-only kit. I think they'd get more sales of that than these kits with superfluous stuff in them.
  15. So ThreeZero Max includes an optional blue neck and Miriya doesn't include a red one? That feels odd.
  16. I don’t know,that first season kinda weirds me out. The manga she totally fits with the other characters, but that first season of the show she’s just wandering around demanding to be taken seriously, but the only person in a thong. Doesn’t even matter the situation. She could be on the street or in a business office or at the prime minister’s building just the only person in a thong. The second part of the show put pants on and it kinda felt more in line with the universe, but nothing against hot ladies in thongs, but it just seems really weird to have one random lady in charge of things with just a thong and a short coat demanding respect
  17. Yeah. If all you want is the super parts, you could probably save a good amount of money by just getting the Renewal base figure as well, and then you'd have matching finish too.
  18. Thank you, gentlemen: my work is done here. Happy 2026!
  19. Ha ha, I know I'm more of a cat guy myself. For some reason it's sometimes been cheaper to buy DNA kits domestically than from my favorite Chinese stores. And MMC's stuff is usually priced about the same. So I've got MMC's Scrapper and a bunch of DNA kits I'm still waiting to come into stock at The Chosen Prime... last I checked, I have the kit for Vector Prime and the Megatron arm and cannon for SS86 Optimus in stock and ready to ship, with the Bonecrusher/Scrapper, TFOne Prime/Megatron, Prima, and Godzilla Megatron kits still just preordered. Haven't decided on the other kits. I am interested in the waist swivel on Long Haul, I could take or leave moving the wheel, but I actually Devastator's backpack better stock. Aside from more arm articulation, the kit for Scavenger and Mixmaster seems pretty useless, but I'm worried that if I have four out of six horns that I'll cave just for those. Then I have to decide if I want the fourth kit, which has a ton of crap and is kind of expensive, when I really only want the centered knees and articulated hands... Oh, but that reminds me! I should preorder the kit for SS86 Megatron. I went back and forth on whether or not I just wanted the cannon and sword, but I decided the gap fillers are probably worth it for him. EDIT: Almost forgot, not super impressed with the Superion kit. The OX chest and head are an option for people that want it, but I don't. I'll wait and see if they have other stuff in the kit that I want, but for now it's just articulated hands, and I'm not paying for fortune just for that. EDIT 2: Also almost forgot, they're working on some kind of upgrade for Hearts of Steel Optimus. Just a silhouette so far, but it looks like it'll have the "trailer" seen in the Hearts of Steel concept art, so his engine mode isn't so stumpy.
  20. That’s looking great!
  21. Thanks! Yeah, I'll likely purchase from there The 2013 super pack is gloss finish while the 2024 ozma is matte finish, is that right?
  22. I wish one of these 3P upgrade kit makers would release a scope that transforms to make the part between the arms look like it's part of the tank, y'know grey with some tank grrebles, and make the part of the scope forming his cannon rotate up and down so that the tank mode looked and functioned more realistically. It seems like such a no-brainer to me, as that was my first and only want from an SS86 Megatron upgrade kit, and yet no one has done it. Maybe I'm just weird for wanting that? My DK-71 Long Haul upgrade kit arrived on Saturday, but I failed to see the delivery email, so it sat outside for two days in the pouring rain. To make matters worse, my stupid dog ravaged the cardboard box it was packed in, as well as taking a chunk or two out of the actual package within. Fortunately, the contents were all intact, so small mercies. FWIW, a company called Uni made the delivery and they placed it out in front of my garage instead of bringing it up on my porch. Not sure if the dog was out at the time (he's a 90lb pitbull-husky mix and looks like a German Shepard), but it seemed an odd place to deliver a package considering how many deliveries I receive. The vast majority attempt to put it on my porch, and one delivery person, afraid of my dog, was intercepted by my next-door neighbor who was kind enough to bring the package over. Either that, or, fearing my dog, they'll postpone delivery to another day. FWIW, my dog is big, he jumps a lot when he's excited, but he hasn't a malicious bone in his body. Anyway, I'm trying to think of a solution so that it doesn't happen again. My wife won't let me get rid of the dog, as much as I've emphatically declared how badly I want to be rid of him for numerous reasons beyond his ruining my toys and preventing deliveries, although those are high on my list. Alas, it's my own fault for agreeing to getting him when he was a pup. Shoulda known better. As to the kit, it adds some nice waist swivel to Long Haul and raises his legs in combined form to cover the area behind Hook, which looks better to me. Too, it lowers the wheels to ankle level in Long Haul's bot mode, which also looks better. Kinda wish they swung inward instead, but it's still an improvement. I still wish they'd release an arms-only upgrade kit with improved arms for Bonecrusher, Hook, and Mixmaster. No useless horns, no fillers- just arms. I'd buy that for a dollar, or $40-50.
