  1. Wednesday night is a busy night for my DVR, aside from Arrow, I also love The Americans on FX. I didn't really want to start another thread, I started one for Hannibal and got zero responses, but I just wanted to bring attention to the series. I seriously think The Americans is the new Breaking Bad, it's very dark, it has excellent dialogue, some top-notch acting, and of course, protagonists who are bad guys, like really, really bad guys. The show is amazing, and gripping, I've always loved the Cold War era spy concept, mostly because I think it's pretty bottomless, nobody will ever truly know everything that went down, who knows how complex or dramatic things got?
  2. So this looks like my movie of the year, I'm insanely hyped, I'm a massive kaiju fan, and Godzilla is undeniably the King. There haven't been any posts on this topic for a while, so I thought I'd post a newly released clip I liked, pause at :23 and you can catch a glimpse at the MUTO monster Godzilla will be fighting.
  3. One thing I'm wondering is will Hot Toys make 1/6 Bay Turtles? Would anyone be interested in them? Even if I liked one enough to purchase it I wouldn't simply because you CAN"T have just one Turtle, and committing to four Hot Toys is something I have no interest in doing. But I love me some Turtles, and I like their designs more than I thought, all we've seen is crappy shots of crappy toys, I'm wondering if NECA or someone else would put out a decent line of collector's movie Turtles. On a side note, after seeing...something Turtles, I got bit by the nostalgia bug, it had to be cured, so I ordered a line I've been wanting for a while, and since any other Turtles related thread is 5+ years old I decided to post some pics here.
  4. I tried to watch Muv-Luv Alternative about a month ago, it started out really well, it was crazy and dark, but after only a small handful of episodes it turned to crap. I like the designs, Tactical Surface Fighters are cool, I just think the anime was wasted, it pulled the rug out from under my feet, it seemed it was going one direction, them BOOM, it turns into a predictable love story that didn't even really have anything to do with the actual war with the Beta. I may have to finally start Black Lagoon, if anything just to get people to stop asking me if I've seen any of it, and to stop people from recommending it every 5 seconds, I've unfortunately had like the entire first season spoiled, which sucks, but I totally told that same person exactly what will happen in the coming season of Game of Thrones, so revenge was sweet.
  5. I was very impressed by the first film, I love Andy Serkis but I just had little faith, CG apes, actual apes, but then BAM, the movie was fantastic and easily one of my favorite movies of the year! I am very excited for Dawn, I searched a few weeks back and didn't find a thread either, kind of surprised, I also didn't find a thread for amazing-looking 2014 Godzilla, WTF Macross World!
  6. So my 18" Gypsy Danger is pretty sweet, and I have no intention of getting into the smaller line at all, so I was forced to pre-order the 18" KnifeHead to go with Gypsy, I can't wait.
  7. I don't mind, poor Hannibal, it seems you may never make it to season 3 . I tried to watch Helix, I gave it a solid 8 episodes. I just thought it was very boring, I'm pretty surprised it got a second season, I though most reviews were average to poor, it must have had solid ratings.
  8. I was at ToyRus yesterday looking for Turtles Classic Collection for my nephews birthday, and sure enough, right there on the shelf staring in the face, the Lego Simpson's house. HOLY F$, I haven't built a Lego set in years, the last one was the old premium Lego Star Destroyer, so it kind of called to me, and I had to have it. I whipped out my shiny plastic nightmare card and it's mine, I opened it but haven't started, I forgot the giddiness that comes from opening up a big Lego set.
  9. I'd highly recommend getting into the Emerald Archers New 52 series. New 52 kind of screwed up some characters, and downright ruined some, but I think GA, Aquaman, and pretty much anything having to do with the Bat-Family is all pretty damn good stuff, I personally think Aquaman is the best, most successful New 52 re-launch.
  10. So I gotta ask, what did everyone think of this weeks episode? We got some hot bird on bird action OH SNAP, but yeah, I still don't entirely like the Huntress, or her actress. Her first appearance was a bit rough, so I definitely thought for sure she' get a better run this time, but I still didn't really like her. Her costume looked better, but Huntress herself was very wooden and one-note, it feels like she is still trapped in some of season ones cheesiness. But every character can't be perfect right, I mean no show can be perfect. Big thing for me, and I mean I got giddy like a school-girl from this, Arrow f*%!@ called Roy Speedy, my guess, after some horrible events involving Ollie's sister, the name Speedy won't sound quite as ridiculous to Roy.
  11. Ah I see I remember reading that awhile back, I'll admit I didn't even look at the actual logo, for months it was labeled as The Ninja Turtles.
  12. It looks like Mutant was dropped from the title, and yet they are indeed mutants and not aliens, so I don't really get what they're doing.
  13. You saw it early as well? Quick question, was your after-credits scene included or not, I got the one right before the credits but apparently there was one more that was supposed to run after the credits as well, I'm guessing it will only run after the credits of the full release of the film.
  14. So I pre-ordered one of these at NY, I was wondering if I can pay for my pre-order with Paypal, I'm reading on their site and it just says you can pay for your pre-order in different currencies, but it doesn't comment on method. On topic, I may sell my anniversary version after I receive this guy, I like this paint job more than any of the other ones Bandai has put out, and I'm not much for owning more than one of the same mold.
  15. Lol I'm now in belief that I am the only human being on the planet that couldn't transform a renewal Messiah to battroid.
  16. The 25A looks good with some armor on, congrats on owning a squad of them. I only owned one renewal Messiah, it was a 25A, and I had it for like barely a day, I liked it for the most part but I promptly got rid of it after some disagreements we had. Bandai's Macross stuff looks good, it's just not for my collection, maybe if HLJ happens to get another round of renewal 25As in I'll pick one up for fighter alone.
  17. i like the new trailer, but damn, I get more and more upset when I see Tom Cruise, he's playing an adapted version of a young soldier named Keiji Kiriya for f&*@ sakes. Irritating white-washed casting aside, this movie will be make it or break it for me depending on the ending.
  18. Has anyone else read the original novel this was based on, All You Need is Kill? If not I would recommend it. The main thing I'm not liking is the casting of Tom Cruise, and the main thing I'm worried about is if they botch the ending or not. Unfortunately, as most adaptations from books end up, the film will probably miss the point of the book, and not reach even 1/10 the level of badassery that occurs.
  19. I'm glad I never jumped on one of these, I've seen the CF 171 going for dirt cheap all over the internet too. I almost wanted one for fighter alone, but I just can't own a valk and live with the inability to transform it at least a couple of times, that's a damn shame too, I love the 17 and 171 designs. With all the paint schemes Bandai shits out, is there any chance we may get another variant sometime in the future, or at least a renewal or re-release of the 171s?
  20. I'm still very on the fence about this, I liked this trailer more than the previous ones, but I still can't help but think there's been too much shuffling of the cast and characters involved for everything to be in good shape.
  21. I started watching Kill la Kill, my friends that are anime fiends have been trying to put me onto this for a while now, I've been pushing Hannibal and other series on them so I guess it's fair. Kill la Kill is, uh, what the f&@$, this s*!# is crazy, I'm liking it so far.
  22. The actor Tweeted that to a group of people after the Nightwing rumors started popping up, he said it was Nightwing training, it could be poking fun at rumors, or he could be the former Boy Wonder.
  23. There was a rumor floating around a while back that CW was casting for Dick Grayson/Nightwing, which is very interesting. With the big teaser from last week it's pretty evident that Batman is indeed out there, and probably more experienced then Ollie. Dick Grayson could be past his Robin days depending on how long Batman's been operating, I would think it's more than coincidence that they reveal a pretty big and popular Bat-foe without setting up the possible introduction of an actual Bat-Family member. In case anyone cares, CW gave Girls co-star Adam Driver and Vampire Diaries Steven McQueen a chance at the role.
  24. I haven't purchased a full third party figure itself in quite a while, but I do dabble into a good amount of third party accessories and add-ons. I unfortunately never jumped on the movie Buster Prime bandwagon, but I have had a dusty American release leader Prime in storage for some time now, I decided to bust him out then upgrade him. I'm probably going to apply some silver here and there, and I would like to add a pair of silver articulated UFO hands, but for now I got myself a set of Cubex cannons. The Buster Prime cannon setup is nice, and I have seen a couple of third party Buster upgrade kits, but they're not quite accurate enough for me. I have to do some fiddling to get them in place, but I think it will be worth it.
