    I had an Apollyon and loved the bulk and aesthetic, I just got the short end of the stick as far as QC goes. To this day though, I still think he's a damn good looking MP G1 Megatron.

    I don't like this figure for Optimus personally, I went with TE-01 for my new Prime, but White Prime/Magnus? Um, frakking yes please? This is so bought, looks fantastic.

    Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron is MASSIVE! I maintain MP-36 Megatron wasn't anything too special, and too expensive, but this monster? Absolutely worth it. I can admit I'm biased, I was born a bit too late to grow up with G1, THIS was my Megatron, and always will be. #monkeynottruck

    Good lord, he's a REALLY big purple dinosaur.

    All these beautiful shots are making me antsy, I won't have mine until Saturday via DHL. BUT, my VF-4 is being delivered with none other then the big purple dinosaur himself, Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron. Now THAT is going to be a fun box to open...

    This looks almost too good to be true, it just looks so damn phenomenal. THIS is the sequel we deserved, after being fairly disappointed with the first film in general, THIS is what I expected from a super budget Hollywood take on Godzilla and his buddies. I am insanely excited to get my hands on the brilliant looking MonsterArts figures, these designs are fantastic and this movie looks amazing. Agreed, Endgame will be great I'm sure, Thanos will get defeated, but this is the movie I'm most excited for in 2019.

    MP Beast Wars Megatron is officially on the way from HLJ, along with my Figuarts EP-III Obi-Wan, finally, and Hi-Metal R VF-4. Should be a nice little box of goodies.

    I got tickets for a Fandango early screening this Friday night. I'm excited, these stand alone DC films have been pretty fantastic. It's as if Justice League was a bad idea to do as early as they did, as if it was rushed and should have happened AFTER these stand alone films. Also, Batman murdered over 20 dudes in BvS, and I'm still salty about that.

    I may be biased, but it was frakking fantastic. I loved the Super anime and getting a canon Broly has been a wish of mine for a while, the odd not-Broly we got in the form of Kale was neat, but not the real Broly, and now with canon Broly, confusing. Yeah, there's a lot of fan moments, but they did a solid job IMO of making Broly an actual character, not just that giant, powerful dude that's angry because Goku was a loud baby.

    Wow, the Hi-Metal R VF-4 looks leaps and bounds better then the old Yamato/Arcadia version, that version just looks cheap and basic now. I'm excited for mine, I may even grab a second, and yes Bandai, bring on the TWE M&M versions, I'll buy those too.

    I don't have a Nebula so she's a purchase for me, I got Legends Gamora and Drax and they work okay, I'd upgrade to proper Figuarts if they get announced. As reported from the leak a few weeks back, there is indeed another Figuarts Broly on the way from the DBS Broly movie, non-powered up Broly. I loved the film, so I need both versions.

    Nothing from HLJ yet, but I'm in no rush, I've still got stuff there to ship, and I won't be shipping this and the rest of my private warehouse stuff until Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron drops, aka the big purple dinosaur, aka the real Megatron, not that overpriced MP-36 nonsense . Monkey not truck! (I got an MP-36 Megatron too, I'm just still quite salty about the final product and price though).

    I love that more people watched this, agreed, Bill Hader is fantastic, and is far more then just comedic talent, the guy has real acting chops. Also, what a brilliant and fun cast, Anthony Carrigan is hilarious, and I LOVE him on Gotham as Victor Zsasz. I'm ready for the next season, last season's ending had me holding my breath, STARTING.... NOW! Damn I didn't know this was coming back this month, let alone so soon, I LOVED this show! Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant are hilarious in this! It's a nice, funny, fairly interesting take on zombies.

    Quoted for truth. I loved Cuphead to death, it was phenomenal, but damnit if it didn't get REALLY hard at a few parts, like, too hard for me sometimes. I like a challenge, but Cuphead took real trial and error, and patience, patience for days. Glad to see it coming to Switch though, this whole buddy-buddy thing between Nintendo and Microsoft is interesting, another amazing indie game, Ori and the Blind Forest, is supposedly coming to Switch too, plus I finally got to play Minecraft with my younger second cousins and nieces and nephews and what-not, me on my X1X and them on their Switch. I wonder if this will go the other way and we'll see something Nintendo related on Xbox and PC? Honestly, I'd take Bayonetta 2 remastered in 4K on my X1X, that'd be amazing. Also, rumors are flying, and once again these are just rumors, Cuphead could come to Smash. Wouldn't that be something?

    I think he was dropped from that too, unless it was never fully confirmed he was even on board for them. Who knows at this point. I wonder if Warner/DC is going to try to lock him down for more projects now that Disney/Marvel is willing to play ball again.

    Definitely not, she's an active racist, as in a racist a-hole now and currently, not a decade ago, and it wasn't the Ambien :).

    Saw this earlier, damn good news, he gets to finish his trilogy! I also read production will begin after he finishes up Suicide Squad 2, he gets to play both sides of the field, Marvel and DC, awesome stuff. From what I read Disney made this decision quite a while ago too, it just couldn't be made official and couldn't be reported on until now. Who would've thought, Disney made a stupid knee-jerk decision, were rightfully derided for it, now realized money is good and they are bringing him back.

    Yeah I've been interested in this one, but I've read the micro-management can get a bit irritating. It seems a blessing for some, and a curse for others. I like me some micro-management, but it can definitely go too far.

    Watch the new trailer, his "true" form, or genie form, is indeed blue, but he has a human disguise form that is essentially just Will Smith kind of cosplaying as genie.

    It seems more based on the games then the previous Rock film, but that's not saying much, and it still looks pretty terrible. No stars. Bad effects. Straight to DVD. Why was this green-lit again? Also, is this a sequel or even prequel to original 2005 Rock film? Because I don't think it's connected. One of the guys in the trailer says they opened a portal to hell, like in the games, but that wasn't the story in the 2005 Rock film. In the 2005 film it was about some stupid ass, bullshit, ancient alien virus or something, that, one again stupidly, turned you into Doomguy/superhuman is you were a "good person", or turned you into a creature slightly resembling demons from the Doom games if you were a bad person. Or if you're the Rock, kind of neither, because he was the star and ended up being the main bad guy, and they weren't just going to be cool and turn him into a Hell Knight or Mancubus, or something, so he just kind of grew goofy little fangs and had a mean look on his face. What a crap show. Funny enough, Bethesda just yesterday savagely posted they have ZERO INVOLVEMENT with this film, they are, thankfully, focused on the next phenomenal looking Doom game.

    Excellent review as always, and I LOVE my BadCube Grump, he's a brilliant MP minibot, but this stuck out to me, as I had the same feeling. The main thing reviewers and some fans didn't like was tabbing the small tabs that fold out from the chest section into the front two wheels. It's not impossible, and honestly I never found it difficult either, it's not nearly as bad as parts of Wardog or as mentioned, some of the Fans Toys stuff that was coming out at the time as well. I kind of get it, he's a minibot, he should be simple, but that was the only truly tricky part of the transformation, and once again, I thought it was a breeze. Even if it was a bit tricky to tab in and line up, it could be avoided altogether, on mine after some time I simply removed the screws and removed the little tabs behind the chest, they are absolutely NOT necessary for transformation, that whole assembly frictions into place between the front wheels just fine, the tabs really aren't needed. I honestly really enjoyed all of the MP minibots from BadCube, I thought they did a damn fine job nailing the bot modes, and I feel the alt modes looked as good as they could considering BadCube tried, except for Gears, to go for "realistic" alt modes, for characters that pretty much always had chibi style alt modes in the cartoon. It bugged me a bit for Gears, being more chibi then the rest, but he always had the most difficult to define alt mode, I've seen many examples of what he could be, and it seemed he wasn't based on any one vehicle like everybody else, he was a little hybrid chibi vehicle, and BadCube did the best they could.

    I think my favorite, also my first, Voltron figure was my old plastic Trendmaster Lion Voltron. It combined of course, but it also had the little opening cockpits, including the chest on black lion, and came with little single color pilots that matched the color of their respective lions and had one bit of articulation, they bent at the waist. I don't remember seeing too many pics or other videos of that version of Voltron in particular, I remember several years ago I wanted to track a new one down for nostalgia, and all I could find were separate releases for each lion. They were the same figures, opening cockpits with little removable pilots and all, they just weren't in a complete set, and I very distinctly remember getting my Voltron as one big set, not separate releases for each lion.

    TE-01 is just so perfect to me. I recently got some upgrade bits from TFW2005 member Jream, and they really add to the figure. Little blue vinyl circles, perfectly color matched, to cover the metal slider on the sides of the legs, waterslides for the chest windows in light and dark blue, and cell shaded/animation style window waterslides, plus a nice white outline waterslide Autobot logo for the shoulder. There's the new head on the way, with more prototype shots on TFW2005, and it looks phenomenal, plus it looks like it transforms, unlike earlier reports where everyone thought it would be static and would have to be swapped for the original transformable head. MS-01 was never for me, but I love that two different third party companies came along and gave the folks what they like, options. I know some people were never going to bite on MP-44, and TE-01 just looked like a cheaper alternative to MP-44, more toon styled then anything. So it's good to see another company step up and deliver an update to MP-10 that wasn't striving for complete toon accuracy. At some point the last mod I will need to do is to paint the grey, square section on the crotch white to match the rest of the hip skirt section, I really have no idea why TE left that grey and the rest white, it's quite distracting IMO. Also, depending on the new head, I gotta paint this stock head's face grey, the head sculpt looks good to me, I just don't really like the face in white. No idea on how to paint this guy up though or what to use, so we'll see how that goes...

    Yeah the Mustang is sweet, highly recommended. Really fun build too, the steering wheel mechanism is quite interesting.

    Well done Lego, this is one of their cleanest cars yet, highly recommended.
