    They feel a little better than Star Wars black series figures, but I really don’t buy too many six inch ish figures. Personally I wish they’d do GI Joe figure more like the little Star Wars vintage line. It would work better for me for army building without worrying about space and they’re about the same height as 80’s GI Joe figures and don’t look as cheap as other small sized modern joes

    Preorders for SS86 Sunstreaker finally showed up here. But the comments on Hound several pages back made me rethink my preorder. So, I canceled Hound after preordering Sunstreaker. Aside from the weird looking feet and incomplete rear in jeep mode, the ultimate deal breaker for me is that panel at the back of the head. You would think that that would be something that should be banned from modern toy engineering. I've been content with my Henkei Hound for the past 18 years, what's another 18... or whenever Hasbro or Takara realize that it's now entirely possible to miniaturize MP Hound.

    If it’s between those two, then definitely put fall ahead of the list. Woman of the Hour really wasn’t that great, kinda just ok. Not totally bad, but not good either

    Looks pretty wild🤘 good luck on those issues, hope it turns out cool

    The thing is, even though it is obviously bad (very bad) it does not look quite cheap enough to have been a direct to DVD (er, videotape) release. Who am I kidding, Killer Klowns didn't look quite that cheap in adverts and it was direct to video.

    Speaking of catching up... I watched Good Will Hunting on Youtube free movies for the first time, lol. Only saw parts of it but never sat through the whole film. For a film from 1997 it holds up well with Robin William acting that earned him an Oscar. How do you like them apples?!

    I got the name. From the film Time Rider.

    Yeah, kinda feels like the writers were like, "what's the coolest stuff in action movies ever?!!!" And then, with their low budget and mediocre skills, they made this. 😄 I have zero recollection of this film having ever been advertised, nor do I recall ever coming across it at old VHS rentals back in the day. Pretty obscure I'm guessing.

    While waiting in paint to dry I’m prepping another resin kit. This one’s a figure. It’s the Satan Commander from FSS. This is the definition of bootleg. The few OG casts that exist are as rare as seeing Bigfoot. Compared to the phantom one I just prepped this feels more like I assumed a garage kit would be like. It’s going to be a labor of love for sure. Lots of surface issues to deal with including broken bits and lots of holes from bubbles etc… This the the official art for the S.C. So you can get a better visual. I think it’s going to look amazing!

    You got LASERs, a cyborg halftrack and a Kung Fu ninja named Kuchie. The Eliminators had everything.

    Wasn't really looking to get this one, but at this price with free shipping, why not.

    I don't buy too much GI Joe these days - not unless I see a deal on some ARAH 3 3/4" O-ring figures (and/or equipment) like I used to collect back in the day (i.e., I haven't given the new Super 7(?) O-ring figures a look). I've been hearing folks heap praise on the Classified line for a long time now. What's your take on the materials and build quality of the line? P.S., nice Ross discount!

    OMG, the 80s cheese! Thought that was Denise Crosby. Saw her in person at a convention here in Spokane years ago. She seemed very grounded and genuinely nice, relating anecdotes from her life and career. Her grandfather, Bing, was a notable alumnus here at Gonzaga University, and she talked about him a bit as well. Been meaning to watch Woman of the Hour and Fall popped up on the movie list recently. Gonna have to watch them. Saw Predator : Badlands the other night. Kinda prefer Prey or something more like Killer of Killers. I thought Prey was awesome, my second favorite Predator film next to the original. Predator 2 is third runner up.

    Glad I got bored this morning and decided to check out forums I hadn't yet visited - because I've long wondered what the heck was going on with "anymoon.com" and "scorched earth toys." The origin of both still isn't clear, but I feel like the itch has finally been scratched. 🙂

    I saw it in the theater, plus lots of other low-budget sci-fi flicks back then too. It looked heavily borrowed from The Terminator but actually it wasn't a total rip-off and was entertained by it. Good action film for its time.

    I don’t know if I actually saw the movie or just the trailer many years ago, but I remember the dude with tracks. I don’t remember anything else though. The guy from X-Men reminded me of him. We used to watch a lot of bad movies when I was younger and they often had previews for other really bad movies and it’s possible that’s all I saw, but the visual of that guy kinda sticks with you once you see it rolling.

    I never heard of that before. and I think you just gave away the 3rd MST3K revival movie...

    The movie was a dirty little gem – so effective in transporting the sense of dizzying height, I was on the edge ofmy seat the whole time. Great craftmanship. Woman of the hour, the directorial debut of Anna Kendrick, is on Netflix, too, don't miss it.

    Welcome! I had a look into your deviantart artwork, Ganbare !! No worries, Test assemblies in solidworks or nx, between parts can be easily determine contacted surface or collision detection, unless if back in those days where we build papercraft to check contacted surface, rotation point, gap etc. Have everything plans earlier then have less headache while going complex builds. Step (5) in solidworks have to be minor tweaks or add on without messing overall proportions, if in solidworks that will be surface panel lines works and small details, which can easily delete or add later. Aerodynamic or implement NACA profile/etc, adjust them in step 1-3 and run flow stimulation or Ansys for flow study if curious about the data.

    Boy I hate when people don't baseline graphs at zero. Still yes, nice to see it hitting half the original price. I still have a pair I have not shipped, since I was waiting until better shipping options opened up.

    My thinking now, of course, is I saved some money . I canceled my preorder for the SS86 when I heard about the heel issue and I never got around to getting one whether online or when I saw it in a couple of stores in HK (Takara ver.). Didn't think it was worth the price anymore and I had also just gotten DCS OP to replace the Earthrise OP I sold off... and I was content at the time. I am planning to get that Magnus version when it becomes available from my go-to seller. Edit: I was pleasantly surprised to find that my fusion cannon already includes batteries . The one I was watching online didn't have any batteries included in his copy.

    My original thinking was that I'd be fine with SS86 Optimus for regular colors, and that I'd just get the Magnus and Nemesis versions of MD005... but then I went and preordered the Optimus colors. My just arrived this week, and I showed it to my wife alongside SS86. I asked her to guess which one was the KO, and she picked the official. One of the smokestacks on my copy was a little loose, but that wasn't a big deal since I'd bought some aftermarket stacks for the official. Once I swapped them onto MD005 the figure is darn near perfect. My only serious complaint with the mold is that the fillers they added to the parts of Prime's legs that fold up from his calves do too good of a job; one of those cutouts on the official figure is the right shape to plug in the magazine of Prime's rifle, allowing you to store it without putting it in the trailer. Speaking of trailers... I prefer the blue stripes of the G1 toy (among other toys). I ordered the Toyhax trailer labels. I'll put them on the MD005 trailer and get the look I want while allowing the official trailer to remain pristine.
