That whole vibe screams 1/10 Beagle.

Nice work turning a basic transformation more interesting Sentinel!!!

Anyone ever ordered from toypanic?

Just put down a pre-order deposit.

Seeing the green, blue and black skull& crossbones makes me feel like we ain't gonna see any tv variants for a looooong time. If that's the case give us a vf-1a brown CF movie version....

I can't tell, is there ankle pivot on Rick?

Got the KC Rick Hunter 1/12 figure delivered today.  He stands quite a bit taller than Sentinel's 1/12 Mospeada figures when you place them next to each other.

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality and execution of the piece; while it is not on the same level of excellence of a Figma figure, it is quite good is its own right and a fantastic rendition of the character; likely the best we will ever see at this size.  Comes with a handgun and rifle, but the outstanding accessory is definitely the helmet.

Now I can't wait for Lisa Hayes and any future releases, as I'm all in... Roy, Max, Miriya, and Minmay in Chinese dress at the very least.

I'm definitely looking forward to Roy.

Can't wait for the reviews to start coming out for Rick.

That is incorrect. 

The 3 year plan thing at a very discounted price is for D23 and club members. It is only an OPTION not a requirement.

Thanks Dobber! 

Alot of newsfeeds are now reporting the same thing. I'm indifferent to Marvel phase 4 & don't have any nostalgia for old Disney movies/tv the Mandalorian & Obi-Wan are all I'm interested in. 

Yikes.

Looks like Disney+ wants  to lock  you in for 3 years subscription. Don't love the Mandalorian that much. There goes My binge watching plan. Perhaps I could just buy season 1 from Google Play  after the fact. ... although I'm gonna miss that "happy Disney staff" documentary & coffee table book.

Thanks for the review jenius!! 

... and now enduring Rick anticipation.

Looks more like Rogue One than the new trilogy and that's a good thing.

We may just cancel Netflix for Disney+ since we have small children, especially a five year old girl that loves princesses!! 

Ha! Thanks mechaninac.

@TangledThorns Good plan. I'm considering , subscribe to binge watch a series then unsubscribe immediately after to save money. With the "streaming wars" something's gotta give. Lol

I've never owned a Legioss so can't compare what I'm looking at, but that ankle pivot in gerwalk broke me... Now I gotta buy one. Looking good!! 

One episode a week. To prevent anyone from binge watching it in a day then cancelling subscription.... What about avoiding spoilers for 10 weeks, binge watching it in a day then cancelling subscription? Hope there's a 1 free month trial.

I don't have it. But looks like it is based on this Amazon link description and this YouTube video review.

https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Noir-Hush-Jeph-Loeb/dp/1401258034

 

Hey thanks no3Ljm!!

I've seen that YouTube review but didn't mention issue count. My Amazon app listing must've been a Typo. Good to see the correct Amazon product description from the link U provided!! Can't wait to have that noir badboy in my hands. The black and white really compliments Jim Lee art. The mafex figure looks great too. Looking forward to the digital release.

Yeah that animation doesn't look anything like Jim Lee's art.

I've never read Hush but wanna get into it before I watch this release. I wanna buy the noir hardcover edition..but Amazon's product description says it's Vol. 1 and Wikipedia is quite vague?? 

So my question is: Has anyone got the Hush noir hardcover , does it have the complete 12 issue story?

I guess Peter's a fan of hanging out in bars unmasked?

That's twice Peter has distracted teens on a bus while maintaining his secret I.D. Who the hell cares about mountain goats when everyone's addicted to their phones?

Kids don't play with toys let alone SW toys anymore, unless their parents were fans. Good luck with the merchandise Disney...ya gonna need it because once genX dies so does the franchise.

Diggin' those figs!!

Been waiting for the Roy!!!

LOVE the Dana, gimme a Zoe Prime.

New Gen too.

Although I didn't follow Eddie Brock/others. I did love Venom 2099!! That Venom seemed so brutal at the time....Omg do Sony own Spiderman 2099 solo film rights?... Please NO.

That's not an invalid question. Venom's iconic look is entirely contingent upon it coming into contact with Spider-Man first thing upon crashing onto Earth. They've at least gotten rid of the spider tattoo across his chest and back, though.

Iconic look mostly. The Spidey symbols would have been a bit too coincidental, they're doing the "veins" thing on his chest instead, considering this movie Venom's origin isn't tied to Spider-Man at all. Whereas comic book Venom's origin has ALWAYS been tied to Spider-Man.

At SDCC it was confirmed that there's no spider logo. I'll def check this movie out..but I've gotta feeling this movie's gonna bomb hard. The average movie goer has no idea who Venom is. The fans won't like spider-manless Venom. When Venom says "Eddie" I can't help but laugh my ass off.To me it just sounds so comedic. Let's hope it has an R-rating to keep the fans happy.

I'm not an informed Venom fan so forgive the newbie question but...

Why the Spider-man shaped eyes if it hasn't come in contact with Spider-man?

Is there a canon explanation or just wanna invoke the iconic look?

Cool. Thanks Ignacio.

I don't know if someone's already done it.But could someone please post a side by side comparison pic  headshot of Arcadia 1/60 & DX 1J?..Thanks in advance. 

New video footage. Look at how detailed that pilot is!!....What those markings on the battroids leftside chest inside/above the cornered red stripe?

I want to see a VF1 that has a pivot just below the chest so the nosecone can jut forward.

U mean to recess the head further down to hide the "priest collar"?

There's still plenty VF battroid engineering to work on.

*retractable wings (better than the 1/72 model kit)

*reinvent a collapsible/sliding nose cone to completely eliminate the "priest collar"

* The DX chogokin 1J can kneel but doesn't seem to be able to do a full calf to hamstring squat.

*PT side covers 

*PT chair elevator.

*Better ankle pivot.

....Then pilot head articulation with a thumbs up arm as "cherry on top". 

Congrats on everyone that got a preorder. Condolences to the ones that didn't.. Wow I'm exhausted just reading the last 10 pages of PO madness. I bet there's some sprained index fingers with F5. So looks like the priest collar is still there but less pronounced than Arcadia. ..Everything else looks good. I guess the only engineering left to do on a VF toy would be retractable wings & eliminate the swing bar.(was personally hoping for no swing bar & copying the 1/72 model kit)....Will try to pick one up in December.

Australia.

Yeah, pretty sure you and @Old_Nash keep cheering on Comcast because you don't live here and don't get how truly heinous Comcast is. Sure, maybe you've heard stories. Maybe you don't quite believe them.

Guess what? The stories are true. Comcast is that bad. Worse, even!

Don't cheer them on. In fact, pray that Disney gets Fox. Because, especially without any Net Neutrality protections in the US anymore, I promise you that Comcast getting them will be much, much worse.

Seriously. You guys act like Disney kicked your puppy. Well, if you lived in a Comcast market they probably actually kicked your puppy, then added a recurring puppy-kicking fee to your bill.

Yeah, after hearing all the horror stories about Comcast from this thread I'm torn.

My sympathies to my American MWers. Comcast feels like an episode out of Black Mirror... F#*k I hope Comcast doesn't come after Australia otherwise it's gonna ave ta be Austraya king hittin' time.
