Regarding the Glaugs, I kinda figured. Probably Experten's work. Funny they only showed the Alpha in Soldier mode. Tough to get a good idea what fighter will look like when the wings are generally obscured by the arms. The hosts' awkward handling of the toys didn't help. Honestly, initially I thought it was going to be a low-vis version, and that piqued my curiosity. I'm not really feeling the huge shoulder cannons, though. If I end up going in on one of these, it'll most likely be the Omega, as I like it the best of the three. I do like like the color scheme of the AWACS one, though. It's a bit goofy with those huge canards and the huge lance, but its uniqueness is its charm.

Nobody counts that one. Sorta like how most people try to forget Star Wars sequels or Alien 3

Some goodies there. I'll add Dishonored to the list. In light of how well Fallout has been done, I'd love to see either a Deus Ex or Halflife series with the same rigorous attention to detail. I think Starcraft would end up being a Starship Troopers clone, but a Command and Conquer:Tiberian Sun could be cheesy good fun.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Focslain replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Agreed, Orange's take on the series does seem a little darker then the OG anime. When you mentioned bailing on Stampede I figured you didn't finish it so just wanted to give a heads up on Stargaze. -
That is glorious, dude. π I'm not going to disparage anyone's opinions, but there are a couple misconceptions that need to be addressed: While it's possible you found Katee Sackoff or Grace Park attractive, there's nothing sexy about Kara "Starbuck" Thrace or Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, either as written on the page, portrayed by the actors, or photographed by the production. In fact, series showrunner Ronald D. Moore deliberately avoided objectifying either woman (nor any human characters on the show), wanting to emphasize stark realism and gritty drama. The only character overtly sexualized is Number Six, a Cylon. The original series, on the other hand, is full of sex appeal, with Maren Jensen (Athena), Laurette Spang (Cassiopeia), Anne Lockhart (Sheba), and Jane Seymour (Serina) often appearing in flowing off-the-shoulder gowns with plunging necklines. The 1978 original was definitely sexier. π Heck, even the guys showed more skin! π In the 21st century? That was never gonna happen. π You're right about that. By trying to be more realistic, NuBSG featured much more understated costume and production design, and Bear McCreary's music has none of the soaring, operatic grandeur of the classic score. "Adventurous" and "goofy" are the complete antithesis of the Galactica concept, even as originally conceived by Glen A. Larson. The miniseries was outlined as a desperate war for survival, and only became an "adventure of the week" after ABC suddenly expanded it into a full season of television. Executive meddling resulted in a tonally-inconsistent, goofy mess that was even worse after the network retooled the series and slashed the budget for its second season: Will any of you try to defend Galactica 1980? π

I think I saw them in an auction as resin kits. Digging that alpha version of the Alpha :). The wings look super strange though so fighter mode might be goofy.

I didnβt hate the remake, but it did make me rewatch and really enjoy the original much more. The old one had very minimalistic things going on, but it really was great fun and much more enjoyable overall -
General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
$219 without a figure seems really high for the cost. Itβs not like it transforms and has articulated legs and arms the $149 for the five figures is a bit more reasonable though since it is the full set -
The Ghost In The Shell - New Anime coming 2026
Big s replied to no3Ljm's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Itβs not that, itβs that the animation looks terrible on the new fist of the North Star. It kinda has that ugly berserk series from just a few years ago kinda look to it. Sorta more like a cheap video game cut scene from an old PlayStation game. The old Fist of the North Star looked so much better than what theyβve shown so far and that show is like 40 something years old at this point- 40 replies

The most interesting things in these pics are the Variable Glaugs. I wonder who's making them and whether they're just garage kits, like Experten's, or actual wide-release toys? The VG has been high on my toy want list for a long time.

I don't own an MP Blaster, and I've been fine with that as he just never carried the same importance as Soundwave, but oh man do I want that Steeljaw. Hopefully they'll make Ramhorn, Eject, and Rewind for him as well and sell the cassettes as either two or four packs.- 18113 replies

18cm is Voyager-ish sized. I don't have a ruler to double check, but iirc Hasbro listed SS86 Optimus as 18.5cm, and Megatron (despite being the same head height) as 21.5cm.- 18113 replies

As a heads up, this is the continuation of Stampede, so if you didn't finish that your going to be lost in this one cause it assumes you watched the prior season. -

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Stampeed Valkyrie replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Was traveling on business so waaaaay late this season. Frieren 2nd season, started it playing catchup. I do have some high hopes for this season considering the things they can cover. Sentenced to be a hero, I am only 3 episodes in and its pretty good so far. I am in for the long haul at this point. Oshi no Ko 3rd season, Once again I am waiting till the series nears its wrapup this season before I start watching it. 2nd season kinda killed this series for me, but I am willing to give it a go... later. There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her, I have been DLing it but have not started it yet. Fate/strange Fake, another I have been DLing it. Honestly though I have had enough of Fate/Beating a dead horse. SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table, I have seen 2 episodes.. not really my thing I guess. Its not terrible but it doesn't sit right with me. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2, Illegals S1 was entertaining. Not into the My Hero franchise other then this. You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!, 2 episodes in.. and well... at least its straight forward about what it is. For now I will keep at it. An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29, the only title I am current on. Its not bad, not great either but its entertaining. TRIGUN STARGAZE, dunno. I bailed on the first remake. I can't see this being any better. Wash It All Away, I am only on ep 5, its not bad. The culmination will probably be her getting her memories back. Its pretty light hearted, and a relaxing watch. The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind!!, I have it, but not started it yet.. like other this season Isekai Office Worker: The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, pass got 2 episodes in and I am not into BL. Vigilantes S2, 29 year old adventurer, Frieren, and Sentenced to be a hero are my gotos at this point of the Winter Anime season.
