  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah, I’m laughing about them calling M&G a “deluxe” offering. But at least, they’re putting out product before the movie actually premieres.
  3. Oh, a new trooper figure... A Shoretrooper dressed for the snow. 😅 Yawn. Helmet's a little small... Lazy repaint... Oh, more dirty Stormtroopers. 😆
  4. Yeesh, some of these new alt modes are just bad.
  5. Maybe they're not ships, but airplanes.🤔
  6. Today
  7. I think Kranix looks great... but his dialogue no longer makes any sense. 🤨
  8. But it still isn't NY- or CA-compliant. Actually, without a bright orange muzzle, it is not compliant at the federal level, and I personally don't want a Shockwave with a bright orange muzzle. CA law specifically requires a toy gun to be "the entire exterior surface of the device is white, bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink, or bright purple, either singly or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern, or where the entire device is constructed of transparent or translucent materials which permits unmistakable observation of the device’s complete contents". Sure, Shockwave is purple, but is he BRIGHT purple? Do they even want to have to check that definition? And this version has a gray barrel. (Which isn't even right! Give me a proper SILVER!) I am reasonably sure they don't want to have to even LOOK at toy gun laws outside Nerf and Super Soaker.
  9. I don’t mind the Macross 2 destroids. I like em better than most of the later Macross destroid designs. I’d love to see some of the alien mecha though
  10. Backpack. Also put some transparency on the cockpit windows, which looks nice (but now means I have to make an interior of some kind 😉). Debated over making the rear vents a cut in feature or just textured on, looks okay here but will have to see how they hold up in a rendered environment. I guess it's time to start the arms. 😔
  11. Sure, the VF-2SS with blue stripe, the VF-2SS with red stripe, and the VF-2SS with yellow stripe. I kid, I kid. A plain VF-2S would be cool. I don't care about VF-2J one way or the other. Metal Siren I can do without. Would love the destroids but I don't think anyone's touching those.
  12. Don’t forget Awsome movies like Turbo Kid and Hundreds of Beavers. But totally agree about the shows since Fallout was also great. And they got some interesting classics as well. Also it might be strange if Amazon puts out the best Marvel content, Wonderman is such a drag and most of D+ marvel stuff ranges from terrible to meh, but nothing so far has really been great.
  13. I'll assume that Starship Troopers game is designed for MMO, lower end platforms cuz those graphics suck. Galactic Racer reminds me of Pod Racer. Meh. A John Wick-based game? Why????? I'm somehow less impressed by 007: First Light than when it was announced...
  14. Is that classic Fist of The North Star or the uggo remake. And glad the new Ghost in the Shell isn’t requiring crunchy roll
  15. There’s a few items from 2 that I’d love to see.
  16. Ya it would be bizarre to skip F and only F, when they're doing E, which is the one they DID skip in 1/72. I'd love VF-31A but it means new parts so I'm not counting on it. The real thing is, I wonder if they have anything planned once VF-25 and VF-31 series are complete? Almost anything else will be a downstep in recognition and popularity compared to what they've already done. I guess they could do SV-262, but does anyone really want to buy a bunch of slight marking variations for those? The best option is VF-0 with lots of variants to do, but they may avoid it because of the Wave kits. My hope would be a VF-11 series and some one-offs like YF-30, but they may not be seen as profitable enough. Or, hear me out..... VF-2SS. 🥰
  17. Ironically, I have the old Robotech: Battlecry game for PS2, and I enjoyed playing that game, even if they kinda overwhelmed you with incoming fire at times. Don't even get me started on the damnable Cat's Eye escort mission. Grrrr! But I really loved the overall format and controlling your VF-1 was intuitive, even for a non-talented gamer like me. Moreover, they imparted different abilities to each mode, which made them all seem purposeful, especially GERWALK, which I've always decried as a mid-step in the transformation. I'd love a similarly executed Macross game covering every entry in the long-running saga with a reluctant partnership with HG to get SDF:M in there too for Western release.
  18. Legacy of Kain: Defiance remaster, another Metal Gear collection, new Silent Hill, new Castlevania, and a God of War Greek Trilogy remake (I guess they forgot that there were six Greek games😒). Not sure about Control Resonant; I loved Control, but very unsure about the shift from atmospheric third-person shooter to a DMC-style action game. Here's hoping Sony keeps supporting PC. I do want that GoW Trilogy, but I'm absolutely done with PlayStation hardware.
  19. Oh my, poor Astrotrain. he's only slightly better than the previous version. at least the locomotive looks much improved, but what's with all the nasty kibble along his flanks and the weird cowcatcher-ish extension under the nose in shuttle mode? When the G1 toy did it better, there's something fundamentally wrong. His bot mode, too, which looked great inn the previous release, looks like ass this time around, and still would look a kibbly mess with the chest panels folded down. C'mon Takara and Hasbro, Mech Fans Toys, a legends scale toy maker made this: Why can't you guys manage at least this at a leader scale budget? I don't think DNA can clean that mess up, either, at least not without some serious part replacements. I so do wish some of these third parties would start making CHUG/SS86 scaled stuff when the official toys are this bad. Disappointing, to say the least. Shockwave is a bit disappointing, too. FFS, why can't they just do a space ray gun?!- pretty sure nobody's gonna think that's a real gun being pointed at them. And if someone's dumb enough to point it at a cop or a gun-happy redneck in the dark, they kinda deserve to get plinked. Megatron's Walther is understandable, but Shockwave's groovy purple space gun should get an easy pass. If Hasbro's wondering why TF sales are declining, perhaps they should re-evaluate some of these things before deciding to release them. Out of all these, Skywarp will likely be my only purchase.
  20. Well, @sh9000 just beat me to it. Dang dance class. Kranix is fine, if you really want those minor characters. I had to compare side-by-side with Siege, Shockwave is retooled by barely. I'm not happy, he really needs to be bigger to scale with the new Megatron. No surprises with Skywarp, and I guess I already own Wheeljack and Sunstreaker because they're the same as the ones in the Target five-pack. I don't know how I feel about Astrotrain, to be honest. Train mode is a huge improvement, shuttle mode seems a little worse at the front, better at the back, still not great. The robot mode looks noticeably worse, but I'm thinking that the chest is mistransformed and those purple panels need to be folded down. Oh, and here's the Matrix I mentioned. No SS86 Unicron.
  21. Prime is getting a couple of good things with this and Ghost in the Shell (and Fist of the North Star).
