@Chas That is already looking like a great display!

I wonder if she is just more intelligent, or is she an astronaut who came back before Taylor's crew?

Gonna be breaking every wall he comes across!

The full trailer is funny!

The FROZEN flashbacks was overused in too many scenes imho. Most successful sequels have little to no flashbacks. Reference sure, but no flashbacks.

Jury is still out for The Rock in a live action Moana but is that a good idea at this point? Seems kinda redundant with another animated movie coming out so soon.

I don't consider flashbacks to be a reason for success or failure in a sequel. There have been a lot of sequels with no flashbacks that have just sucked on their own merit.

As for live action Moana, I'd stay for a double feature if they were playing the animated sequel with it back to back!

If it has actual toasters in it, then it might be considered life size.

Regal Theaters Ghost Trap Popcorn Bucket.  Much better than the Dune one.

If mine gets that I may have to 'pop' for it,😉

And I really liked the flashback scenes in F2. IMO, they added to the history of the characters. That's not to say I'd want them to keep doing that in Frozen 3... In doing another one, it's time to move forward with a new story.

As to the title, I like the idea, but I hate to say that most people may not get it, and it might turn them off. 'What is Tenaga Whenowat..?'

And if you're not a fan of the Rock's live acting, how do you feel about him reprising his role in the live action Moana?

Toy Story has had a number of good sequels, the bet of which, IMO, being the last one. The feelz as Woody was saying goodbye always gets me.

As for Frozen 2, the only thing I didn't get was what happened to the Fifth Spirit during the intro events? What happened to it that it needed to be 'reborn' in Elsa? Otherwise, it was a pretty tight and simple story, and it was made by the same team who did the first one which helps a lot.

The new director for Moana 2 has a good run working on the some successful films, Megamind, Raya, the newer Lion King and How to Train Your Dragon for a few. So, here's to hoping a lot of the lessons from those movies have rubbed off on him.

If it continues the story in a meaningful fashion and doesn't retread material to get there (looking at you Incredibles 2) then I'm fine with sequels. They are continuations of stories and characters I like, so it is nice to see more of them. Plus, they've been doing sequels for decades, so it's a lot more than just a 'whiff.'

Again, if the story is good and continues the adventure, then I'm all up for it.

And Frozen 2 was awesome!

That's a great looking Widow @505thAirborne. And I think I recall reading that the Black Widow marking on the belly was not approved.

@pengbuzz Nice Tomcat-trio. Should look nice in a lineage line-up.

Definitely the more 'realistic' lower powered ones. I'd say the Macross is the probably as large as I'd go.

Always loved this design. Nice mods.

Stay tuned.

That's just about screen-worthy! Very cool.

This figure looks worried. It looks like a "Sid" creation. 😅

 

Sid didn't have that good a taste.

RIP Weathers! I really enjoyed your work.

In the waiting room for 36 years..? Yeah, that sounds right.

Thought the same before seeing Napoleon, ugh. I use IGN for movie reviews and they're mostly spot on.

Hope this breaks that trend, as it looks like a good, funny movie,

OMFG... this could be a repeat of our last date night where we watched Napoleon. Can't we ever get a good f'ing film?!?! 😡

Eh, a review is only one person's opinion. I've liked loads of movies that reviewers haven't.

You begin to think you might just have some modicum of talent...then @MechTech posts an update....then you crawl back under your model table and begin to re-think your life....😂

HAHA!

@MechTech does raise the bar into the stratosphere!

Love those trailers! They are promising a lot, such as nice touches of nostalgia, good comradery and a real cool looking villain. Just three more months!

@Chas That is a clean looking paint job! Nice.

@Mr Jones Cool seeing a Macross on the Bench!

@nightmareB4macross Really liking that hinge/piston set up.

Age of Ulton was on the other night and it was to the point where the city started to drop, and there's the helicarrier in the background, and the thought suddenly popped into my, 'well, there's the Ark.' Because if they had failed, the safest place to be would be in the air above it all, with several thousand survivors and a tech base to restart civilization with.

IMO, it looked pretty good. It probably didn't need to be a remake though. Looks like it has some good action, good story, and humor.
