  1. Past hour
  2. HLJ got my VT-1 gerwalk in. Better late than never.
  3. Yeah. I mean, the only thing I definitely want is the hands, but I'd consider using the gun-wings, knees and shins. The rest not so much. Guess it'll depend on the price... Those the Yolopark figure kits? After reviewing the G1 Megatron back in the day I bought up a bunch of the RotB AMK kits pretty cheaply on Amazon, but I had a lot going on at the time and wound up not doing anything with them. I don't think I ever even got Mirage... was he only released as a more expensive AMK Pro kit?
  4. MPM Next as line has me a bit intrigued now as word on the street is that Habro is out and Takara is fully in command. It is such a shame how for example MPM-12 OP turned out, so I'm hoping that Sideswipe and future releases get a high quality approach in desing and engineering without Hasbro's annoying buget caps. On the other hand... when I look at how MPG has mutated into a less premium line these days, then I'm probably wishing for too much. 😄 I think that sentiment came more from the Hybrid/Hasui camp and less from the MP collectors seeking for an improved Sunbow cartoon vibe over MP-28. Personally I'm not sure about this Style Gen. Hot Rod, from the one coloured image I can't say it has ignited a burning flame on in me to get it (😁) or see it as a full replacement for MP-28. I can already not unsee a certain break in the sculpt/silhouette that will most likely continue to annoy me. Seems like it is a line for repurposed Hasbro mainline stuff, so no interest from my side. Would have like to have an announcement for Overgear or maybe the next AMT.
  5. Preorders sold out already. I guess that works for me. If we'd have gotten the toy-deco Hot Rod that was supposed to come in Velocitron I'd have have definitely picked that up, but I'm struggling to find a reason to buy a slightly more magenta Hot Rod. I did notice that it does fix the yellow on the roof, and I do like the lightsaber and shield... maybe if I actually see it on the shelf I'll buy.
  6. Today
  7. The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind!! started today, It has got to be the cutest thing I have watched in a long time, Doux is too precious.
  8. @Special Sauce is actually selling a renewal VF-25S with super parts:
  9. Another Robin Hood film... Should have stopped at Prince of Thieves.
  10. I wound up picking up one of these as a souvenir at an automotive museum: Would have preferred to get one in the Ken Miles livery. . . . And probably would’ve have gone bonkers if I found a Niki Lauda Ferrari or a Little Al Penske-Mercedes Indy car. . . . Or a Viper RT/10. . . . Or a Cobra Roadster. . . . Or a cherry red S2000. 😅

  12. Another iconic classic sci-fi design that is more than worth a mention, and has appeared in several media and iterations since its debut is Forbidden Planet's most memorable supporting actor, and coolest automaton to ever come out of Hollywood, the unique and unequalled Robby the Robot. Honorable mention to the classic B9 from Lost in Space
  13. All the hardware in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The designs are distilled perfection for "realistic" near future (now, laughably optimistic given that the story depicts fictional events 1/4 century in our past) technology, some of which has become reality while others remain in the realm of attainable fantasy. They are all so iconic that they inspired miniature work and film making for decades to come until the (unfortunate?) advent of CGI.
  14. Chris Foss is a very icon artist. Recently "Jodorowsky's Dune Official Trailer" popped up in Youtube, and what I now know as Foss's artwork immediately caught and retained my attention whenever it appeared—even in the background! The covers above reminded me of a book I used to love taking out of the library when I was a youngin': While Stewart Cowley's style isn't quite as iconic as Foss's, I can see a lot of Foss's influence in Cowley's work (such as the checkerboard patterns on several derelicts in the book). Nevertheless, the combination of artwork and short stories in "Spacewreck: Ghostships and Derelicts of Space" had quite an impact on my young self. I don't know how well the stories hold up now, but the whole concept of the book still gives a lot of food for thought.
  15. Uh new pic in color showing some of the updated joints plus the date.
