    I finally got into MonsterArts, I'm VERY happy I did. I missed out on, and wasn't willing to pay for the originally released Godzilla, I'm totally fine with Millennium G, and I of course heard very mixed things about Ghidorah, but he's my all time favorite Godzilla villain/occasional hero so I couldn't skip on him. The straight detail in the molds is astounding, pictures simply do not do this series justice, Big G and King G are both amazing, the detailed scales on these beasts are just gorgeous, everything looks so good. I may have to bust into my ye olde savings account and snatch me up a Destroyah and Rodan, I'm not particularly interested in Rodan for Rodan, I mean of course I don't mind adding him too, but I want his extra effect part for my Millennium G.

    I got to make a really nice haul of goods almost a month and a half ago now due to a super sweet tax return, but unfortunately I didn't take pictures, suffices to say I got to make a second haul due to me selling off some odds here and there over the past month. I'm really, really excited, I haven't built a good model in quite a while, my fingers will be bleeding after this, but it's worth it, Blitz Team is officially in the hangar!

    So I finally unlocked then beat the X1 exclusive Raiden mission, it was truly a pain in the ass to unlock, and it was fairly short, but it was pretty damn fun none the less, it was a bit more action oriented than I would like, but it was Rising Raiden so I can understand it. I also alternately completed the side missions and found out there are actually different cut scenes based on how you complete the missions! That's kind of cool, in the end I found there to be a solid, lol, amount of gameplay for my money. Can anyone comment on the PS exclusive Pixel Snake mission?

    Titanfall is fun in short bursts, I literally don't play any competitive FPS games besides some CS:GO from time to time, so I'm not burnt out on the genre, I just can't kill people match after match for very long. I've been destroying some Dark Souls 2, honestly, since the next-gen consoles came out I've gotten more enjoyment out of my 360 then anything else, between South Park and Dark Souls the old consoles got some decent love in March.

    Rorschach looks pretty badass, Watchmen is to this day my all time favorite comic book film ever made. My only hesitation is that we won't get any other Watchmen releases, I wouldn't want just a Rorschach, I'd need at least a Night Owl to go with him.

    I pre-ordered a Koto Black Metal Gear Rex and a Metal Gear Ray. I've seen shots of both of models opened and all of there plastic racks and what-not spread out, Ray looks like he will be pretty clean without paint, so I'm just going to build him, and ditto with Black Rex, I hate painting with a fiery passion so I'm glad these two will still look pretty excellent just put together.

    My daily driver is an ultra boring Ford F-150, but, my Sunday driver is my late grandfather's 1989 Dodge Shelby Dakota, I took these yesterday after my drive since it was a beautiful day in Vegas. Fairly limited edition, each one is numbered, I was given this instead of one of my 5 border-line retarded and pretty much worthless cousins. I searched the forums and didn't see a lot of Shelby action so I thought I'd post these, yes I would like a GT500 or Cobra, but this thing is damn nice and a lot of fun. It has a 5.2 liter V8, posi-traction rear-end, custom interior and lots of other goodies, with the fun upgrades like K&N and some other stuff I've added over the years, I'm currently spitting out 203hp, which aint bad for a little truck.

    There's been mixed talk about a release date, Ground Zeroes itself doesn't give any specific date or anything, it just murders your mind and let's you know you won't see the rest until at least early 2015. That said, this article came out today: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/17/metal-gear-solid-5-the-phantom-pain-may-release-early-2015

    Oh yes I did indeed watched Black Sails as well, it had a pretty excellent first season, very gritty, I thought it was a refreshing take on pirates compared to all the Johnny Depp-ness we've gotten in the last decade. I can definitely agree Hannibal is depressing, and certainly difficult to watch, it is hands down the goriest show on television, blowing even Walking Dead out of the water by miles, but I'm a huge fan of the Red Dragon books as well, so Hannibal has been quite delectable...Back on topic, I am very pleased with the portrayals of Rosita, Eugene, and Abraham, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing all the old groups and the newbies get together, there's been enough different from the comic while introducing comic elements and characters that I need to stay tuned to see how or if some upcoming events will truly come to fruition.

    Are we ever getting an updated Masterpiece Megatron? I have the original Takara released one, but it's a bit of a floppy mess, I'd definitely be in for a new, cleaner version.

    I'm glad the show finally had some real emotion last night, or at least something with some substance. This show has been insanely inconsistent for me for the past two seasons now, so many odd and questionable choices for characters and the direction of the plot. I think it's kind of funny the only episodes I found with substance to them were the ones that more closely adapted one of the comic's scenes or moments. This newest episode had some heavy influences from things that happened at the jail in the comic. I'm just finding it harder and harder to watch Walking Dead every week, I discovered Hannibal and Vikings, and both of those shows have blown me away, they are pretty amazing and yet have to struggle to get more seasons. When Walking Dead puts out an episode like the last one I feel we are actually getting the quality we should consistently be getting, but at this point it's like a drawn out anime, lots of cringe-worthy boring stuff in between the actual events that hit you hard and move the story forward. I can't help but feel all the behind the scenes stuff with show runners dropping out, and the reports of AMC being very nazi-ish about the schedule and shooting, has stunted the quality these past few seasons.

    So those leaked images of posters and what-not from the past Toy Expos were real, those indeed were the designs. Am not impressed, I can understand Donnie carrying some extra gear on him, but everyone else kind of looks like they just strapped and slapped a bunch of garbage to themselves, because sewers you know, and called it a day.

    Lol I didn't even know there was a Pit by Figma. BOUGHT. Now I'm twice as interested in seeing the scale of Figuarts Mario.

    Damn so I beat Ground Zeroes, I can say I'm disappointed as far as length goes, I now feel like I shouldn't have played it, because if I don't get my hands on MGSV in the next 24 hours I'm going to melt the polar ice capes causing mass floods and destruction.

    I have a Figma Samus and Link, both highly recommended, so I went ahead and pre-ordered this guy and both sets at BBTS. At this point I'm hoping we get more Nintendo Figuarts and Figmas, my dream is to put together a totally sweet Smash Bros. diorama, I really want to get my hands on Mario alone to check the scale compared to the Figmas.

    I picked up Ground Zeroes on X1 early...Can't say how...Alright whatever, mom and pop game stores get stuff in early all the time, I've been going to one here in Vegas for over a decade, I also got to pick up South Park Stick of Truth early. I'm biased towards the Metal Gear series, I think it's one of the greatest gaming series ever created, so naturally I'm loving GZ, the price tag got dropped for all versions a month back or so I believe so that may make your choice on picking it up easier, I'd certainly recommend it.

    I loved this movie, for a lot reasons, I don't own any of the Neca figures because I heard, uh, mixed things to say the least. That said, my Neca 18" Gypsy Danger is on the way, I'm pretty excited, I'd like an in-scale kaiju to go with it too, but oh well. edited: Lol there is no 22" Gypsy Danger, I have the 18" on the way.

    I recently saw this, it wasn't horrible, I certainly didn't think it was as good as the Fast and Furious franchise story or character wise, but it had some pretty badass stunts done with practical effects instead of CG fakery.

    Everyone loves Queen right? One of the greatest voices in the history of rock, Freddie was incredible. This performance in particular is still heralded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest live rock performance in history.

    I got tickets to go see The Raid 2 this weekend. If you haven't seen The Raid, and are into action or martial arts films, you're doing yourself an incredible disservice reading this and not watching The Raid. It was truly one of the best, freshest, most bone-breaking, nerve pinching action films I've seen in years. Back on topic, reviews have started trickling out for The Raid 2, and it's supposed to have some truly epic fight scenes, topping the first film. This fight is from the first film, and it quickly became one of my favorite fight scenes ever made, watch it in the highest resolution possible, or you're once again doing yourself a disservice, and some R-rated violence here so warning I guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPQMU9lU3Q

    I gotta say I'm very excited for Winder Soldier, the Phase 2 movies have been disappointments for me, but this one appears to be taking itself a bit more seriously. I've always loved Bucky, and the Winter Soldier storyline is one of my favorites, it already seems like it's going for the Ultimate version, like most of the Marvel cinema-verse movies, which is okay. Real talk though, Hots Toys Winter Soldier is bought, like yesterday.

    The only thing I ever could consider a negative towards the V2 VF-1s was the lack of a gunpod strap, the 1/48 had them, and I always absolutely loved that. Those 1/60 straps look great, I would love to get a hold of 4 of them for all my VF-1s. On a side note, does anyone make, or does anywhere sell those option seat parts that came with Yamatos final VF-1 releases? I have the old V2 anniversary 1D, it's a fantastic figure, but then Yamato comes along and releases the newer version with those delicious option parts and covers.

    I got my 29 Anniversary a few days ago, I just decided to take it out and mess with it today. I'm not one for Macross Frontier, I personally don't enjoy many of the designs, and I never liked the series or movies, but I've always had a weak spot for some of the Frontier mechas fighter mode. My only 25 is a 25a, which was pretty nice, but I had a hell of time with it and eventually sold it, I was worried I would have a tainted view of the 29 since it's just a slightly edgier 25, but I gotta say, fighter mode alone was worth the price of admission for me. I've decided I'm never transforming my 29, ever, except maybe gerwalk, I hate the bandai 25/29 transformations and I'm not going to run the risk of destroying this thing just to get it into a mode I don't really like. I've debated the super or whatever parts, they're just not for me, I don't really like the look and the price is unflattering to say the least. This is a super clean fighter, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase, I'm probably done with Frontier toys though, unless the YF-30 grabs me or ends up looking interesting.

    HI METAL LOVE THREAD

    Tking22 replied to VFTF1's topic in Toys

    I loved my Hi-Metals, I thought they were very clean, and I loved the posability. Unfortunately mine have been in storage since I graduated college over a year ago, at this point I'm not even sure if I have anywhere to display them, or if I would even want to display them, I may sell them. I have the super sexy DYRL VF-1A box set, all 3 armors, and the Roy 1S with armor, like I said I'm probably going to sell them, but I wouldn't even know where to start. I've seen Roy for sale, but the DYRL valks are never for sale anywhere, let alone the armors, I wouldn't have a clue what to ask for them, and if anything I'd like to try to sell the whole set instead of piecing it out.

    After leaving my 25A alone for yet another week, I decided to take it out and at least pose it in fighter on a shelf, all the while telling myself, "Don't try to transform it to battroid, you almost destroyed it last time, you just don't know how!" Sure enough five minutes later I found myself pulling the legs/hips down from gerwalk heading to battroid, but I knew it, I even felt it, I should have just left it alone. I officially broke the neck, the black "collar" piece around the neck snapped, and the housing around the neck "extender" disintegrated into two pieces, the head just kind of popped off onto the floor, looking up at me like "Why? Why couldn't you transform me? Why did you do this?" I feel kind of stupid, I completely mauled this thing as this point, and it seems like everyone else owns a half dozen of these and they can transform them by looking at them and snapping their fingers. I'm obviously disappointed, I never particularly liked the 25 other than fighter, but I wanted to have at least one in my collection. Since it's broke and mangled I can't gift it, I'm not handy enough to fix it, and I don't want to bother trying to sell what's left. My 29 Anniversary arrives tomorrow, if it ends up being a similar experience I'm just going to try to sell it here before I murderize another expensive figure .
