    I liked the first set of G1 reissues from Walmart and Hasbro Pulse and wish they continued instead of changing the toy deco and packaging. I would still love a G1 Prowl reissue in G1 packaging. The only Walmart G1 cartoon deco I got was Optimus because it came with a trailer and was on discount.

    I'm kind of glad I don't need to ship mine out right away and pay the expensive shipping cost.

    My beef with the recent Walmart reissues isn't that they're reissuing 40+ year old toys when there are new better ones... after all, the new better ones aren't what I had as a kid. My issue with them is the new "movie" decos that are also not what I had as a kid. If you're gonna reissue a toy, make it as close to the original as possible so that I don't have to spend a small fortune on one made in the '80s with fingers crossed that it's still in good condition. But if you're going to get a toy with a new, more cartoon-accurate deco, it might as also have a new, more cartoon-accurate sculpt and new, more cartoon-accurate articulation while we're at it.

    Dan Trachtenberg has stated that Predator: Badlands is intended as a far-future scenario, closer to the Alien: Resurrection setting than any of the other films in the franchise(s).

    The continued popularity of that 40-year old toy perplexes me. Both Yamato and Bandai have produced more accurate toys, at more practical scales, and in more variations than the original Takatoku versions, yet the outdated and inferior molds get continuously reissued...? 🤷‍♂️ Yeah, I agree with @M'Kyuun about retro Transformers (and Star Wars) reissues, too. 🤨

    Lol. Or it's just propaganda to make us think they're flailing. I thought the same thing watching the Chinese soccer robots.

    I was thinking the same thing, but then I kinda think that if I were gonna be executed, at least execute me for something hilarious

    Actually 2. At the end of the page you can see one that already sold out before. Really surprised how quick those popped at mandarake.

    As we've seen with the clear mechanic edition, they will eventually have many.

    I'm surprised they actually had one. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1316372823&ref=list&dispAdult=0&keyword=MACROSS&lang=en

    I'm guessing you don't like the classic Bandai 1/55 chunky monkeys?
  26. derex3592
    those GIANT hands....LOL!!!! Looks good though. If not for tarriffs I would pull the trigger as well.

    As a Geewunner who was less than impressed with these toys back when they were new, I'm always at a loss to understand their appeal when we now have vastly improved versions of them at virtually every scale. I guess nostalgia is a primary driver, but from my POV, I'd rather have a modern version with full articulation over the old 80s bricks. Except for the cassettes, which remain pretty cool, for the most part. I haven't been too impressed with the WFC Siege/Kingdom, Legacy, SS86 scaled versions, except, ironically, Eject, the best of the smaller scaled cassettes. I keep hoping Dr. Wu will eventually produce improved versions of all the main character cassettes, as Takara's takes have been less than lackluster. Well, SS86 Rumble/Frenzy was almost excellent except for the lack of elbows- how hard would it have been to split the arm and give one half a ball joint and the other a socket? So close to good, but not. SS86 Steeljaw looks like a Pomeranian, Ravage is severely compromised, the WFC Condors are ok except for the oddly shaped weapon packs, all three of the SS86 Soundwave cassettes look like steps backward in design. If you're a cassette fan like me, there's much to be desired with Has/Tak's modern takes.

    Yeah, the thing is shaky from the very start and the techs are hovering very closely to it, so yes, it does appear that they were expecting failure more than success. Given the brutal and face-saving nature of the Soviet govt, I do feel concern for the folks who worked on this, as it's a very public embarrassment, and they likely will pay heavy penalties for it. And while we've seen the maturation of this technology from Japan, China, and US companies, it's ultimately not easy and they are likely working with small budgets, stolen hardware/software, minimal resources, and lots of unwelcome oversight and pressure. That said, it was pretty funny on first viewing. I just showed it to my wife, but with these thoughts in mind, it was a bit more sobering.
