Looking at my own photo I'm thinking we really need a VF-14 sitting along these two.

LA sucks, it's another reason why I only want to ship by Fed Ex. They completely bypass LA customs.
-
LA customs is notoriously slow.

Birds of a feather...

Other than for posing climbing in and climbing out I still don't understand why anything actually needs to reside inside the Regult. You can't see it.

I do have pretty loose knee joints on my Arcadia version, not something I experienced with my two previous Yamato's. They're not so bad they flop if you hold it up but they certainly aren't able to hold the body up in Gerwalk. It sucks about the ankles, I don't have that issue. Where did you get it from? The ankles sound like a huge flaw. While there is a ball joint attachment way up high that isn't really how the mechanism works. There's a huge rotating disk lower in the foot that lets you rotate the feet up and down at some pretty incredible angles.

The "fan edit" is just to cut out all of the bad "nerd acting."
-
Did the VF-0 CF officially go on pre-order already?
-
The loose ankles are a first I've ever heard on the VF-4.
-
Yup, Harold Ramis Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray all played believable quirky guys. And Ernie Hudson was great as the straight man. The three "scientists" are playing "Hollywood Nerds" and the black girl is just playing the token black role.

I finally got my hands on my Regults today. Homerun Bandai, Homerun. Bring on the missile and scout variants. This is completely what I wanted, it's what I wanted when I got the still relatively decent Toynami Battlepods. I expected these to be good, Bandai are masters of poseable mecha, especially when they don't have to worry about transformation mechanisms. This is near perfect, I could gripe about a few small things (I want the cannons to be able to point all the way forward, and the smaller impact guns to be movable), but it's not worth it. Buy them when you see them. And bring on the destroids. They're going to be just as great, I know it. As a matter of fact, although they're different divisions, maybe somebody between groups is talking because this thing feels remarkably similar to the Hulkbuster they just released. Ratches, metal, etc in all the right places. I'm thinking the Monster is going to be a showpiece. Place your bets now people.

I think ROTJ Luke is still available at several online shops. -
So if I don't find those three women you mentioned funny I'm a mysogynist? Get out of here. Based on their performances they feel canned, like three women teying to be "Hollywood" nerds, not real, and natural. And of course tjere's the zany black girl. Winston was genuinely funny and down to earth and real, not all "waz up!!!" Like this character here. I like the way the effects look, I don't like the way these women behave. I work with some REALLY nerdy and REALLY brilliant women and these four feel like forced caricatures. The original four felt loke four guys I know and have worked with. These four women aren't real at all.
-
I don't even care about this box set. Get on with characters we son't have. There isn't enough different here to entice previous Cap/IM owners.
-
Dismissive because there's no way of hand waving what I'm complaining about like you can pretending that stiry will be revealed later. These ate problems inherent to the film, period. Rian Johnson may fill in the gaps for a good many things people are already crying about but he'll also expose how poorly crafted TFA was by JJ.
-
Like I said, this film suffers from all of the same problems as the previous Treks. It's not a Lindeloff problem, it's a JJ problem. And it goes far deeper than the Hosnian Prime explosion, which I never mentioned. The writing in many spots is almost as bad as the Prequels, the opening crawl reads like a bad thirteen-year-old fan-fiction. JJ can't keep internal consistency with his own universe, he keeps the pacing fast so you don't notice there's no true connection or chemistry between the characters. Into Darkness and The Force Awakens both feel like watching a series of video game cutscenes of a game based on a film, you get a sense of the story and characters but without the actual meat of a real story.
-
You always blame his writers for the problems with his films and yet every problem this movie has the previous two Trek movies also have. Face it, JJ is the common factor and they've all suffered because of him.
-
Co-wrote means that JJ still worked on the script and the movie shares many of the same problems both of the Star Trek movies have suffered. JJ is good at getting emotions from actors, but he's bad at consistent world building or stories that are anything more than paper-thin point A to point B moments.

Do it, the Battroid mode is fun to pose.
-
Shiiiiiiii, gotta get them Regults redelivered.
-
You're not saying Phasma?
-
What if somebody mailed you a third one and a bunch of money?

I'd love Figuarts X-Men figures but they only do Movie Properties, not comic properties. Plus it sounds like it's difficult to get X-Men figures made by almost anyone. Mezco's One:12 line, for instance, they were told specifically to stay away from all X-Men figures. And it's few and far between we see any Hasbro X-men figures anymore. The only other X-Men related things we see are the Hot Toy's Wolverine figures and all but the upcoming brown suit are from the films as well.
-
I think this looks great. I think you should do the new one up like the Max 1J custom from the models thread instead.

He just stacked several of them. The black boxes. Then applied the skulls to that, plus the modex, etc.
