    Nobodies arguing here. If I'm buying one of these I need to start worrying about moving funds now, I'm moving soon, plus Christmas is coming up, I am absolutely going to stress the color until I see it's fixed, as I said, I think it's weird that the first official magazine photo showed the same color as opposed to confirming the color is fixed. Yes Mr.K or whoever confirmed it should get fixed, but I'm at the point now where I have to either start preparing for the pre-order or just bowing out. Yes, it's obviously a prototype, everyone has confirmed that, but until then I refuse to "relax" on a figure that is probably going to end up costing me a very pretty penny. Hopefully in a month or two we'll get a new set of photos in another magazine confirming the color fix, until then, to me, it seems a lot of people are okay with the color, so aside from a Tweet or whatever from some guy I've never heard of, I'm not 100% they'll change the color. This happens with every new toy release, it's a new mold and essentially an entirely new toy, people are going to nit pick every little thing they see until release, if you don't like seeing that, I'm thinking you're on the wrong website.

    I never read any Marvel NOW stuff, but that's also the look they adopted for Ultimate Hawkeye when Ultimate Marvel comics started launching, and it's also obviously the influence for Hawkeye in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    The mold looks good indeed. I'm a little curious as to why they'd release photos for a hobby magazine if the color isn't finalized yet, does this happen often? I'd think they'd wait until they were pretty much done messing with the prototype before they'd promote it, the color looks slightly better in the clearer scans, but it's still not doing it for me, that blue is still fugly.

    So you won't even give it a shot? I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely zero sense to me, the show is getting stellar reviews across the board, it's an undeniably good show with some excellent performances, you're missing out due to a really idiotic bias in my opinion, I get that a lot of people didn't like Lost and Prometheus, but wow.

    That's Ultimate Hawkeye, that's how he's looked since the Ultimate Marvel comics started releasing, they dropped the purple tights and full head covering, he's looked like that for years now.

    That's why I'm glad Capcom is releasing REmake on all the current consoles, everyone who missed out originally, plus a whole new generation of gamers now get to try out Resident Evil as it was in its glory days, before things got too ridiculous, before Resident Evil 6...
  7. Tking22
    I still think to this day that REmake for Gamecube and Wii was the defining Resident Evil title, best puzzles, best enemies and BOWs, Crimson Heads added a whole new gimmick to how you deal with the most basic enemies, the zombies, and the graphics were astounding at the time. They cut the fat and cheese for the most part and gamers were left with an incredibly polished survival horror experience, tank controls be damned, the whole Lisa Trevor content they added was fantastic, she was terrifying. On a side note I finally tried Silent Hills PT over the weekend on my buddies PS4, it was pretty, but I was unimpressed, it was barely unnerving, fun to beat though, is Silent Hills PS4 exclusive? I'm finally getting a next-gen console when Sunset Overdrive drops, I'm getting that ultra sexy white X1.

    I can't wait for pre-orders to go up, hopefully the pre-orders won't get ridiculous like Bandai's Frontier stuff usually is. I need a Hikaru 1J, then I'm selling the armor, then I'm done with Macross valkyries unless Arcadia actually fixes the 0D's horrendous color.
  9. Tking22
    Is that really the color they're sticking with, I thought Mr.K or whoever said they were looking into fixing it? If that's honestly what they're going with then I'm out, I'd like to have a new VF-0 in my collection but this isn't doing it for me, I don't want a Max VF-0D, that blue is just way too ugly, oh well, more fun money for something else.

    Last two episodes were great, they really kick up the eye candy in the finales, the final battles are always epic and beautiful.
  11. Tking22
    I thought it was barely okay, extremely forgettable like the second, and I thought the visual effects looked much cheaper, like the budget got seriously chopped and they spent all their money on getting as many people in the film as possible. I can definitely say Antonio Banderas and Wesley Snipes were my favorite parts of the film, Terry Crews and Jet Li may as well have not even been in the movie or promotional material at all, and the final Mel Gibson fight was a tremendous let down.
  12. Tking22
    I liked it, I saw it in VFX 3D, it was pretty amazing, a very pretty film to watch just like the first. My only complaint is that the separate stories didn't intertwine quite as well as the first film, but that said I enjoyed each of the different stories, Joseph Gordon Levitt is awesome, and I can safely say Eva Green was smoking hot, and there was plenty of her in the film.

    That's a pretty big difference, I forgot Roy had that colored flight suit in the show, I always remembered him in the big shoulder pad DYRL flight suit. I always thought since he got the badder valkyrie with the extra horses and head lasers he'd have the cooler flight suit with the shoulder pads, either way I think the DYRL pilot is more iconic, I'm grabbing that Arcadia while I can, maybe down the line I'll look to see if I can get my hands on a TV Roy pilot.
  14. Tking22
    What are the differences between a TV Roy pilot and the DYRL Roy pilot, is it shoulder pads? I always thought they were pretty much the same.
  15. Tking22
    So I thought I'd ask this here since this thread seemed the most relevant. I've got a line on an Arcadia DYRL Roy 1S that I can get locally, I've read that Arcadia went with the nice TV bright white as opposed to the nasty off white that Yamato used on their DYRL valks, my question is can the Arcadia DYRL Roy pass as a TV version Roy 1S? I'm not building a Skull Squadron, I mean I liked DYRL but I'm not double dipping on an entire squad, I'm trying to finish off my TV Vermillion Squad and I need a Roy 1S and Hikaru 1J, Arcadia is releasing a Hikaru 1J with the stupid missile armor so I'll get him then, but I just wanted to know if I'd be safe grabbing the Arcadia Roy 1S to finish off my TV squad.

    I'm excited, my showing is tonight at 9, in 3D! Hopefully the 3D is good and I didn't waste my money.

    I'm ready for the Bluray, I loved this film, and I was excited to read that Legendary got the rights to Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, I'm thinking the sequel will be fantastic.
  18. Tking22
    Mecha Ghidorah is pretty cool I guess, I have the original Ghidorah so I'll stick to him, I think he's much more iconic. I'm getting a little pissy with the MonsterArts line, they keep putting out a lot of re-worked figures, and they keep giving us more Godzillas. Another Kiryu, another Ghidorah, another Godzilla? It's getting pretty old, where's Titanosaurus, Anguirus, Showa Gigan, Hedorah, Kumonga, Varan, I want some more variety, these past couple of releases have been pretty meh in my opinion, and future releases aren't looking much more interesting, as I said, another Kiryu, Ghidorah, and Godzilla 2014. Here's to hoping they fixed his wings, my Ghidorah never had any breaks, but I've heard plenty of horror stories from others.

    My supposedly re-issue 0S pretty much fell apart on me, one half of the right foot thruster broke off while I was transforming it, so it could no longer stand in battroid, it was a floppy mess pretty much everywhere, arms couldn't support the gunpod, front landing gear became loose and had difficulty supporting a rolling fighter, gerwalk extension joints were flimsy and I had a very hard time standing the figure in gerwalk, the monitor thing inside the cockpit was glued down or something ridiculous to the point that when I tried to maneuver the seat in the cockpit up into the battroid position the monitor snapped off then got stuck inside the nose of the fighter for about a year. I was very excited for a VF-0, particularly the S, I could care less about Shin or the A, I waited, then I got my re-issue release and it was awful. I'm still on the fence about this release, I want a VF-0 in my collection, but I have too many bad memories and experiences, by comparison my SV-51 Ivanov was gold, the only reason I sold him was because my stupid 0S fell apart. I need more final production shots, or at least close to that, I need a truly fixed VF-0, and I need a better blue, with how expensive I"m sure thing thing will be, I refuse to settle for anything less then exactly what I want this time around, if it's not looking up to snuff I'm gonna have no problem passing and completely leaving anything Zero related out of my collection.

    HLJ replaced a Revoltech Batman for me a couple of years ago. Pretty much the same situation, I opened him up, moved his right arm, and the crappy Revoltech joint at his elbow split in two, Revoltech toys are like that, they are entirely too hit and miss sometimes. After my Jehuty and Anubis Revoltechs broke I swore the line off and haven't come back. I'd contact HLJ, it wouldn't hurt, I'd also recommend SH MonsterArts Alien releases instead, they are better in pretty much every way, durability, articulation, better mold overall.

    Dishonored is free on 360 for Gold members right now, get it people, it's a quite brilliant stealth game.

    I just got back from an impromptu trip to California, and I had all this goodness waiting for me! Not pictured are my 3 30s that showed up safe and sound, my girlfriend then packed them all up nicely, those weren't for my personal collection though as I don't care for them myself, so enough about them. I've been waiting patiently for my first and probably last Figuarts team, I can't wait to break them all out, plus I got Battra in California at a little comic shop by my friend's place for $60 out the door!
  24. Tking22
    I'd honestly like to get one with armor, but if it's almost guaranteed to break if I attempt to take it out of fighter, it's still an easy pass, if I'm unable to transform my transforming toy without issue then I have a problem.

    A quick review for the ThreeZero Atlas. http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/atlas It seems early reviewers are receiving prototypes, so I'm guessing the actual release isn't far off now! I personally didn't order one because Atlas is like cannon fodder, but it is an incredibly gorgeous piece, I'm definitely in for a Stryder when they announce it.
