  1. Past hour
  2. One of my favorite stories about him is how he once joined a religious protest march against himself outside his concert venue. I don't know if it's true, but with Ozzy, it's plausible.
  3. I remember having to do this many years ago, when I signed up for a Tenso account - an ID with utility bill in my name. I guess it's fair for companies to ask for this during registration or during the point of putting in the order - so one can refuse if uncomfortable with it at that point & look elsewhere. Doesn't look that good when they only ask for this when stuff just about to ship on an order placed months ago, which I am assuming it's the case here.
  4. Today

  6. In a perfect world, all these non-G1 figs would get their own molds that correspond aesthetically with their particular series, theme, or line. Alas, in a world of ever-shrinking budgets and ever-increasing overhead, we are worlds apart. From the instant I saw Alchemist, I thought "Prime Bulkhead" immediately. My mind hasn't changed, and I think it'd be a wasted opportunity not to do a slight retool and crank out another somewhat G1ified Prime character. I can also see what you're seeing insofar as retooling and repainting him into Prime Ratchet. They could easily get a twofer out of this mold. A trinity if they make an Earth mode Prime Ironhide.
  7. Detectives These Days Are Crazy! remains at least mildly diverting. It's more a sitcom/slice of life series about an unsuccessful detective and the weirdos around him than an actual detective series, but at least it's entertaining.
  8. Before the Frontier Concert, ther's the Aomori one (sold out!)! Rehearsal! Art by masyang fb7
  9. RIP Ozzy! I can imagine Ozzy and Randy Rhodes jammin out together up there!
  10. You've got a really bad texturing problem. I guess you are using a Tamiya primer rattle can. You need to sit it in a bowl of warm water to help the flow. Shake the can for a solid minute before spraying. Give it a shot and let us know if the results improve.
  11. Sorry the freezing idea didn't work out! When you do get the head apart though, if you dress the seam edges carefully with a needle file, it should lessen the visibility of the seam line when you reassemble it.
  12. Yeah, the first one's translation was weird so I couldn't make heads or tails of it and just ignored that statement. The rest of his tweets about it were neutral showcases so he didn't seem to say anything negative, other than that the molds are kinda old, iirc. But the second one alone can't be excused lol... Hope more impressions or reviews come out soon to clear things up.
  13. I’d love to hear the story on this beat club 1970 show. Some of the songs had very different lyrics, like Hand of Doom. Did they only have the outline written for those songs or did Ozzy just forget the lyrics? I know there are alternative versions on the demos, but wasn’t sure what was going on here.
  14. I ordered from Hobby Genki. I have not received any shipping notifications yet. So far, I haven't has any issues with them yet. Seems to be still available... https://hobby-genki.com/en/sentinel/43039-riobot-armored-genesis-climber-mospeada-148-ab-01h-tread-4571335880835.html I do not know what the final shipping costs will be with everything going on. I guess we will all find out when we find out.
  15. I wonder if this is related to the new "de minimis shipping" rules. You can skip to 5:30 mark. I don't know how this is going to effect future purchases from Japan.
  16. AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX hits 185K in Cinebench R23 at 5GHz all-core, pulling 947W

  18. Model kits have come a long way, even compared to the Bandai VF-1. But I still prefer non transforming kits. Most of my Gundam just seem to have lasted longer than most of my toys, probably due to lighter weight and simpler construction
  19. I'm like 75% with you. If we have a G1 version already, like Arcee, Prowl, Optimus, Bumblebee, etc, I really don't want a G1-ified version of a Prime or Animated character, and I don't think fans of Prime or Animated who have been waiting 15+ years for modern updates want that either. That said, there are cases where characters from other continuities don't really have G1 analogs, like Bulkhead or Knockout from Prime or Blackout and Barricade from the Bayverse, where I kind of wish that there was a G1 version and I don't mind the G1-ification. Honestly, I agree, and it's possible that 2026 Ratchet will be an entirely new mold. I'm just spitballing. I think the alt mode makes for a good Bulkhead, but the bot mode less so (to be fair, though, that's arguably a step up from Legacy Bulkhead). I do wonder, though, if the leak for an Animated Ratchet is actually supposed to be a Prime Ratchet. Swap the Lenses with knives, put on a new head and chest, maybe new shoulders, and you're definitely in the ballpark.
