Looks REALLY good, if I didn't already have the SOC Bandai, I would pony up for this guy immediately!  Not enough differences or improvements to replace my SOC though...

Same. I really like that some of the lion legs are hidden when combined, but it's not enough to justify the purchase, looks really good though.

@Tking22 -  Fire up a polite (yet stern) email to Mezco and to inquire about your Keaton Bats (sort of how the squeeky wheel gets the grease type thing of thing). I've read that Mezco's warehouse is piled up to the rafters with inventory and who knows how long it will take to send out their over backlogged stuff out. 

 

Bats is shipping from Fife, Washington if I'm correct and who knows how FedEx's schedule is?  

I should've specified, I already shot them an email three days ago and no response yet. There's no order status or history on their site anymore either. 

Awesome. 

Three days and no response from Mezco for my 89 Batman order, not a great sign, not sure what they're doing but I've already been charged in full so they better figure their crap out. 

Finally a solid episode, easily one of my favorite cameos yet too.

Looks legit, hopefully we can bring that cowl down to flush, that's a big gap. I had to message Mezco, my 89 Batman order isn't even appearing on their site, there's no order history for it but it's definitely paid and I received the emails about it getting ready for release and to check payment method. So yeah, hopefully they get back to me with some information, I'm completely in the dark right now.

I think it also has a new stand, but doesn’t seem too different. This is definitely for those that missed out on probably the best figma ever. The Tekkaman releases were great as well 

Yup that base is fancier, the original release just came with the basic clear Figma stand. Fully agreed, awesome figures, I missed out on the old Max Factory figures way back in the day so I was hyped to grab all these newer Figma releases, Guyver 3 is fantastic!

Nice for those that missed out, I have the original release, this appears to come with a bonus head and that's about it.

Did they ever improved the performance of CP2077 on a PS4 Pro with the last couple of patches.

I don’t want to buy a PS5 just for checking out the current state of the game.

It was fun how overpowered you could get. It made the last mission a breeze.

Digital Foundry on Youtube has been chronicling the updates for all versions, from what I've seen the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X both have a far more stable frame rate then launch, they've got it locked pretty well. Still runs terrible on the base PS4 and Xbox One.

Sometimes I'm thinking if I should buy X-Box on my next game console upgrade.  

The game is a TON of fun, really well made through and through, a gem of a game too be sure and it's on GamePass which is awesome, highly recommended. I'd grab a Series S if you're not feeling a Series X and dropping $500+. The Series S is a great little budget console, coupled with GamePass there's a lot of fun gaming to be had at a solid price. As kajnrig mentioned, Hi-Fi Rush was a nice little surprise release, announced then dropped the next day I believe, really well done little game. 

CP2077 had shades of a solid, intriguing story in it here and there, agreed Silverhand is the best part. But yeah, the side content in CP2077 is where the narrative really shines, there's several fairly long side quests that were absolute bangers, great story and characters, fun mission designs, that's honestly the case with lots of open world games these days though. 

I wrapped up Hogwarts Legacy at about 67 hours, I have a ton of side stuff left but probably won't bother, I got the big side stuff done, I'm not doing dozens more Merlin Trials and combat challenges. Main story was meh, the side story involving Sebastien was easily the best narrative in the game, and considering how poorly handled the morality of using the unforgiveable curses is, Sebastien's story should've been the main one. There should've been consequences and more character interaction and fallout from using the big three but oh well, sequel will handle that I'm sure. 

This looks so awesome I'm legitimately excited, I grew up with MMPR so this is absolutely my jam! I love that they're addressing the passing of Thuy/Trini in-canon, such a sad turn of events, she was taken so soon. Love, love, love having Zack and Billy back! Especially considering what David Yost dealt with years ago on set, I'm glad he's returned, he is THE blue ranger for me, always has been, always will be. No Jason makes sense, he's got legal troubles, main thing I'm wondering is what about the passing of the best ranger, the iconic Tommy? RIP JDF, Tommy was a complete badass, best ranger, rangers even, I see a Green Ranger in a lot of these shots, I'm wondering if it's his son? Will they have Tommy passing in continuity?

Bummer either way, after all these years we have so many of the original cast back, Rita is the big bad, Alpha 5 is back, no Tommy is a stinger for sure, once again though, RIP JDF, he was such a lovely guy in person, always loved his fans and this fandom, he was a great guy.

I meant from the more recent series; Grant Gustin I believe?

I read a rumor, to be take with a massive grain of salt, Gunn was interested in Gustin for his new DCU as the new movie Flash. I'd enjoy that, Flash has been inconsistent for years now and has probably gone on too long, but Grant has been a pretty excellent Barry/Flash IMO. Hell, Ezra Flash already met Grant Flash in the big CW Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. 

I definitely first saw him on Oz, then The Wire, such a phenomenal actor, crazy range, he could do drama or comedy. Most recently these days I know him as Sylens in the Playstation Horizon video game series, and Charon in the John Wick films, such a great performer. RIP Lance, gone far, far too soon.

He made a hilarious appearance on The Eric Andre Show

Grabbed the clip, totally hilarious, he's the only guest that ever scared and made Eric himself nervous. 

Finally caught the hour long Attack on Titan final season's first episode, and damn, that was intense. I've enjoyed the ride from the beginning, AOT will certainly go down as one of my favorite anime ever, I've read the manga so I know the ending that's coming, they didn't stick the landing but I enjoyed it all the way through. That newest episode is gorgeous, and brutal, really good beginning of the end.

You don't want to corrupt the favorable memory of what TNG became by the end with NewTrek... leave that stuff for dead last.

I heard the first two seasons were really rough but this newest one is pretty good right? Either way, I'll probably take the suggestions and stick to DS9 for now, Picard much later.

Go in production order on the Trek shows... esp. when it comes to the TNG-DS9-VOY era, since Picard makes a fair amount of references to events from the TNG movies, and now the events of DS9's final few seasons.

Yeah I guess I might not rock the boat and just move onto DS9. TNG was fantastic though, Picard is awesome, I loved the cast and crew, I'm just all up on Picard, but I'll probably stick to aired order and get around to Picard eventually. DS9 it is, I've heard mixed things about Voyager but I'll probably move onto that next.

Arguably, the enemy mecha and 1As are the best stuff from the HMR line (+ the Destroids).😆

The Regults were really well done, and I loved the Glaug. I still have my Monster, zero chance I was getting rid of that big boy. 

I'm a little bummed I sold most of my Hi-Metal R stuff off over the last several years, I figured the line was dead and I needed the space, so away it went. It all went to good homes, I sold everything here on MW, but still, I had a lot of cool stuff, Regults, all the valkyrie releases, several Regult missile sets, I kept the "good" stuff but all the cannon fodder 1As and enemy mecha are long gone.

Oh well, I'm hoping we keep getting more interesting valks in the R line, VF-0s are a step in the right direction, SV-51 would be nice, a modern 19 would be cool too, VF-11 is my holy grail. I never bit on the 0D, and I sold my Yamato 0S long ago, I'm glad I got another chance at these valks even if they're in a different scale. On topic, even with a slight color difference that 0D looks fantastic! I'm in for the Max 0S as well, a 0A seems a no brainer at this point, I'd be in for at least one. 

I finished TNG last weekend and am excited to start on some new Trek, will probably do DS9 but I'm pretty interested jumping into season 1 of this because I'm still high on Picard lol.

@Tking22 and @sh9000 - I really hate to **** you both off but you know that Mezco has **** poor scheduling etas. 
 

I have waited over a month after the processing notice of Capt. Nemo’s WaveRider was given by Mezco. Another member that I know from another Mezco Thread had their copy of the Conan Barbarian set delivery to them one month after the processing notice was given. 
 

We're so close to the finish line I just want the damn figure in hand so I can decide if the wait was worth it or not, the lack of early in-hand reviews is still jarring too. Even D Amazing, Mezco's biggest fanboy, hasn't gotten one in hand yet, crazy. 

Has anyone gotten shipping info for 89 Batman yet? Mine is paid but there's been zero progress beyond that, no new notifications or anything.

Yeah, I didn't get the first one so I'm happy about this.

Maybe they'll do a new Flash too one day. I have the original release, I looked about two months ago and saw the prices were pretty steep, he seems to be one of the other pieces a number of folks are missing for their One:12 Justice League. 

New Supes look pretty good, not good enough to upgrade from my original one, but really nice for those that missed out. 

This still looks pretty damn fun, I'm definitely in!

They're saying baby Yoda spent up to 2 years away training with Luke.

That time line doesn't make sense when you include the events of the Book of Boba Fett. Unless he and Fennec(?) Did nothing for 2 years before killing Bibb.  

I think Boba spent two years with the Tuskens, or at least a year and a half or so. 

Those photos aren't great, who the hell took these? Why bother if this is the best they could do? What the hell is that bottom right picture? Did they take these with an early 2000 flip phone? It's like someone getting a blurry "picture" of Bigfoot, I still can't see enough to judge anything, all I can confirm is that his suit is, indeed, black.
