    This one hits me pretty hard. We lost one of the greatest Anime creators of all time. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-02-19/legendary-manga-creator-leiji-matsumoto-passes-away-at-85/.195093 God Speed on your final voyage Matsumoto-sensei, and thanks!

    Great to hear, this release grew on me and turned out pretty well.
  3. Stampeed Valkyrie
    wowza, great price.

    Was abit of a chore to find Max and Millia.

    Nostalgia is a helluva drug. These all look really cool, if you have the $$$ go for it. The SD voltron's look neat, just not $230 neat. I ended up picking up the Bandai SOC versions of both Lions and Vehicles, and that pretty much did it for me. I would seriously consider a reissue of the vintage chunky Bandai/Matchbox Voltron III. Some thing other then the Trendmasters last take with stupid tabs and colors being off.

    So I gave the Isekai Quartet Movie : Another world a go. It's about what you would expect of a movie from series that focuses on shorts and gags. It wasn't the series strong point, however it was still mildly entertaining. It does have plot references that loop back to the other franchises, but it leaves many open plot threads when all is said and done. But its Isekai Quartet so... yeah should not have expected much. After the credits roll there is a short animation that brings in 2 more characters from ReZero and without saying S3 is coming.. says S3 is coming.

    I forgot about that, I got the replacement parts for the TV Hikkaru with the Black and Gold valk. I am still owed a set of fast packs for the same. I need to fire off an email.

    Random text from DHL and surprise my KC God of Flame arrived. Outer Box is pretty standard KC fare at this point. I find myself missing their vintage style artwork on the Hero Valks. As I mentioned previously I am not a fan of the G1 Jetfire color schema. In this case though I like the metallic Red on the FPs I think it makes this one stand out. Inner box is standard fare, back of box not pictured shows the VF-1 top down line art in plane mode. Thank you KC for doing away with the Horrific Neon color Stands!! And lastly the bonus goodies which I almost lost when I was opening the box.. I did a quick once over and I am not noticing any immediate QC issues. Decals appear to be where they belong and nothing appears out of shape.

    Is that out? I'll have to keep an eye out of it. Just wrapped up a rewatch of Rascal does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.. and the associated movie Rascal does not dream of dreaming girl. This series is very much a gem, and the movie goes hand and hand with the TV series. While I will admit that the movie changes the overall theme of the TV series to a much more serious tone. It does an excellent job wrapping up most of the loose ends that the TV series did not cover. If you have not watched this I would strongly recommend both.

    KC 1/72 line has it quirks, it also has its benefits. Level of Details with markings puts it on par with the Premium finish valks. And if you have a problem KC is pretty quick to respond. As opposed to Bandai.. anyone? Yellowing Frontier valks, HMR parts mismatch.. The comment that none of them are good is Troll bait.. don't like it don't buy it. I bought in for the SD valks and I might be the only one still commenting on my desire for more of them.. (puts on flame suit) I prefer them over the vintage Bandai Joke Machines. There I said it. I do agree @jvmacross about the latest version of VF1 valks, particularly with the tab placements that just look weird on the 2.5 releases.

    Since this thread is alive again, might as well chime in. Group watched most everything this season, will focus on a handful. Spy x Family S2.. much of what I was going to say has already been covered. I too enjoyed this series, apparently a movie and something else has already been announced. Chainsaw Man.. much complaining about this anime in the viewing group. I liked it, but apparently its not real faithful to its source material. Not that I would know anything about that as this was my foray into the series. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!.. its on my list probably in the next few days or so I will have some updates trying to play catch up. Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita.. Pretty average overall, not a terrible watch but not something I would recommend. If you like Isekai genre its pretty vanilla along with loli catgirl. Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou Sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau... this one was pretty popular amongst the group. Harem OP protagonist series. I stuck through with it to the end, but another easy pass. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!... This is a great series, love it even more because it pisses off the right people. Hopefully we get more, worth the watch. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.. I mentioned this before, this was a great series. I'd love to see more in this world. Renai Flops.. I was goaded into this series, and I am glad I stuck with it. It goes from 0 to 100 really quick. Another Harem type but with quite the twist. Its worth the watch. Futoku no Guild.. Most of the group passed on this, but I am glad I gave it a chance. Yes its ecchi, but its pretty funny. Personally I am a big fan of the art style they use during the OP with how they fill in the CG graphics. Watch the OP and the OGs here will get it. Akiba Maid Sensou.. umm yeah.. I am not done with this yet, but I will complete it. Kinda hard to describe its a maid series, that is pretty hardcore. Yeah that sums it up nicely. Utawarerumono: Futari no Hakuoro.. this adaptation has pissed me off to no end. I thought they goofed up MOD pretty bad, and they topped themselves with this one.

    These came in just before Turkey Day!
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yeah, just got the invoice request. Apparently starting EOM.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Just arrived. More pics in the KC thread..

    Just came in this evening.. Box is pretty standard KC fare now, both fastpacks and VF1 in the same box. Front, Back, The stand is clear this time around, I actually prefer the Red Roundel painted base.. they should stick with this and no more goofy colors.. So some thoughts on this release.. QC seems to be good upon initial inspection. No obvious goofs like Ricks TV 1S, the gold gun strap for the gunpod is pretty cool. The Panel lining is done pretty well, I am tossed up though if it needed it for this release. The Black and Gold Fastpacks looks pretty fricken cool, that alone made this purchase worth it.

    Enjoying my Netflix jaunt into anime, Isekai Ojisan is great, also started watching Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners.. totally a Trigger anime. Lastly picked back up Bastard, and I am enjoying that as well.
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Just got my shipping notification on the Black and Gold Super 1S. Looks like they are also sending me out the replacement to fix my Hikki TV 1S.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    The Mrs. actually bought me this one, personally I think Yellow suits Devastator more then lime green.
  20. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Good week for Macross Goodies.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    The Black and Gold schema, actually works pretty well.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    No Captain Lou Albano.. then no deal! 😝
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I know that feels bro.. I liked my black and gold VF-1S, so I will bite on this. I find this much more appealing then the Jetfire clone.. TBH.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I am gonna beat the dead horse.. Where is the SD GBP valk?
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I did take note that there were extensions is some scenes.. most likely directors cut. I did not notice any CG revamping like they did in the first one.
