    Finally watched Godzilla on Netflix last night, I LOVED it! I'm a Godzilla superfan/whore anyway, I love anything related to the Big G so I knew I would love it, but yeah, it was good. I'm still not a huge fan of the CG cell shaded look, but it worked, and it looked good overall. A bit slow at times, but that describes literally every Godzilla movie ever, the ending was what really got me hyped, plus I REALLY dig this design for Godzilla, it looks like he's become one with the Earth itself, like he's a massive tangible part of it. I'm very glad I grabbed the MonsterArts figure of this design, and I am really looking forward to part 2 with Mecha-G, and the inevitable MonsterArts figure of that as well.

    Anyone picking up Monster Hunter World on Xbox by chance? PS4 I'm sure there will be plenty, but I know Xbox isn't as popular all around, let alone with this franchise. I've had mine pre-ordered for my X1X for over a month now, I'm excited! I haven't played a Monster Hunter since Tri on my old Wii. I played the beta several times on my dusty launch PS4 and loved it, but Xbox is where most of my friends play and that's what I've invested all my time in so I am mostly on that, my PS4 is for the occasional Sony exclusive that interests me. I'm definitely maining charge blade like I always do, then maybe I'll try insect glaive or dual blades, not sure yet.

    Beat me to it with the trailer. The hype is real, I can't wait, it's all coming to an end. I remember those non Sith or Jedi beings in several Clone Wars episodes, they are some kind of beings that balance the force but aren't dark or light side, Mortis Elders or Gods or something if I remember right. Plus Sidious? We all knew he would make an appearance sooner or later. After being pretty bummed by the newer live action movies, this series is what I may actually physically NEED in order to get my quality Star Wars fix.

    Word of caution on MP-39, Takara used a stupid, piss poor joint for one section of the backpack that is breaking on a lot of people, I checked mine out and I have some healthy stress marks after just a few transformations. The backpack with all the engine kibble must rotate around 180 in order to lay clean on Sunny's back, that black joint that feels notched as you rotate all the backpack nonsense around is VERY fragile, it is also notched, so it catches some resistance as you rotate it. I recommend not transforming him often, or really babying that whole backpack section when you have to rotate it around to complete his bot transformation. We'll see if those stupid long life stickers they put on their stuff now holds true when people have Sunny in their collections for a while and are several transformations in.

    When I first decided I wanted MP Dinobots I was right at the opportune time to go either Fans Toys or Giga, I went Fans Toys and haven't looked back. Not that I think the Giga Dinos are bad or anything mind you, I've handled Snarl and Slag and they are definitely quality figures, it just comes down to aesthetics. I prefer the toon look of the Fans Toys Dinos over the bulky, stung by a bee G1 toy look of Giga. Once again, I'm not trying to knock the aesthetic, it's just clear Giga went for a G1 toy homage over toon accuracy. QC seems mostly fine either way you go, some have had issues with both Giga and Fans Toys Dinos, but it seems like fairly rare cases for both companies. Good time to be collector either way, there's a set of MP Dinos for everybody, toon or toy, whichever you may prefer.

    Definitely read that a while ago, also read that Karl was asked about returning to the role, which would be an instant win for the series if and when it happens. I'm cautiously optimistic, Dredd has a rough history when it comes to live action projects, the fact that Dredd the movie even happened after the Stallone film was a miracle itself.
  7. Tking22
    That man just needs to play Dredd again damnit. I LOVED Dredd, such a fantastic film, and Karl was perfect as Dredd himself. Also, I read The Flash solo movie got two more new directors signed on today! Who wants to take bets on when they inevitably decide to leave the project like all the rest?

    They also released Deathstroke, so five, which is crazy for Mezco. And I actually meant to say most other roughly 1/12 lines have been mostly MCU, Figuarts, Mafex, etc. It's nice to see Mezco giving us some classic style, with collector quality, and obviously pricing, in mind.
  9. Tking22
    Nope I definitely still care, I pre-ordered mine at BBTS. I was worried this guy might never happen, Mezco is so slow on their releases, and worse on giving solid dates things will actually release and go up for PO. Glad he's happening though, hopefully we'll see some neat re-paints or at least a Rhodey War Machine variant, love the classic look, we've gotten nothing but MCU style designs for quite a while now.

    Damn that's a shame, I love mine to death, he is quickly becoming one of my favorite Figuarts figures in general. You haven't been too hot on a number of Figuarts lately, maybe dial back from the expensive TWE Figuarts and just do a handful of the regular release ones that you know you'll like, spend all that TWE money on something else.
  11. Tking22
    What shipping method did you go with? That seems like a long time if it was EMS or anything similar. Indeed very odd that Bandai has released almost two dozen Iron-Man figures in the Figuarts line, and then they make the MK 47 a TWE item only attainable when bundled with a Spider-Man figure. I personally can't really complain, I was going to get both either way, and I was more excited for the Spider-Man then another Iron-Man, not that MK 47 isn't cool, I just REALLY liked the home-made suit in Homecoming, and I already have a bunch of different Iron-Man Figuarts. Honestly, they're both cool figures, it's a nice set.

    Got two more packages in from NY, that is two SEPARATE packages, since I can't combine multiple TWE items after payment... I love the GM Sniper, the regular cannon fodder GM-79 ANIME figures are really nice themselves, so I knew there would be a great base for future variants. I actually really like the Home-Made Suit Spidey, I've seen some aren't too hot on hit but I think he's neat, he's really nicely articulated, kind of a shame Bandai decided to make him TWE. MK 47 is another nice Figuarts Iron-Man release, I really liked this look in the movie, I love all the extra silver throughout the body.

    I believe Yoda bonked him on the head with his walking stick.

    The missile Regults were TWE, or Tamashii Web Exclusive items, only sites like Nippon Yasan and Anime Export carried them, and only sites like those and Ebay will have them now, at an inflated price.

    Got my MP-39 Masterpiece Sunstreaker in, he's pretty neat but I do have some issues. I don't like his face, easily Takara's worst work yet, he does indeed have a weird Jay Leno vibe to him, it's the chin, it's just off. His transformation is fairly intuitive, a bit fiddly at times unfortunately, not my favorite official MP transformation but I think it's better then my third party Sunsurge. His backpack is pretty nasty too, it's not really just a backpack, but a backpack butt-flap hanging spoiler bit combo. There's a lot of stuff hanging off the back of this guy, but overall I can mostly give it a pass since Takara was forced to essentially fit two alt modes into this guy, his toon and toy accurate fictional Lambo with huge intakes mode, and a "clean" regular yellow Lambo mode to match his brother. Overall I'm happy, he has a lot of gimmicks, and he is easily Takara's most impressive figure yet from an engineering stand point, I even put him above the very insane MP-36, who I also didn't like aesthetically, but there's zero denying Takara is on point with the engineering on these new figures, so I believe the higher costs are fairly justified as well. I recommend him, he's a showboat, and that's what you want in a Sunstreaker.

    And I absolutely CAN NOT wait! I missed out on the original SOC Big-O and all of his extra goodies, nabbed this Kurogane version as soon as it went up for PO, I will NOT miss out again, it is a truly beautiful looking figure.

    Got my two Hi-Metal R Missile Regult sets in from NY.

    I'll say it again, NY not allowing TWE items to be combined after purchase in INCREDIBLY stupid. My two Missile Regult sets just got out of customs and will be delivered Saturday, I wake up this morning to two more NY emails saying my Figuarts Homecoming Home-Made Suit Spidey and MK whatever the hell MK Ironman was on in Homecoming set just shipped out, and my Robot ANIME GM Sniper just shipped, same day, an hour apart. I've asked before, well before any items shipped or were even in stock, and they really just won't allow it. And now this happens every month, I'll get two, sometimes three of four packages shipped out from them, just days apart, sometimes hours. Very frustrating.

    I need to find the article again but Disney already confirmed they didn't make it, it's a really good fake that could possibly be using some real assets or something.

    They did have to though, Lambo demanded it. In order to get the licensing agreement Takara had to implement a way to have Sunstreaker have a "realistic" Lambo car mode added in on top of the obviously fan demanded toon/toy giant fictional intake look. That was the tricky part with this guy, with the push for toon accuracy or death Takara more or less had to fit in two alt modes, the real Lambo mode and the cartoon accurate look, it wasn't just the toy that had the giant inatakes, he looked that way in the toon too and was not a regular yellow Lambo like how his brother was a regular red Lambo. I definitely appreciate the engineering that went in, Takara worked some real magic getting all of that in to one figure, but I gotta agree on the butt flap and backpack, it's huge and terrible looking. I remember idiots giving Sunsurge tons of crap for his backpack, and that there was NO WAY an official Takara version would use a fake chest, or have a butt flap or backpack of any kind, and yet here we are. I just can't get into the thought process of when Takara gets to it, it will be perfect. They did pretty damn good, but it's not perfect, and that face sculpt is, by a mile, there worst work yet. I'm still getting one, but Sunsurge is going nowhere, his alt mode is superior to the official in every way in my opinion, but Takara did nail that bot mode pretty hard, except for the face...

    Got my third and final pre-Christmas haul in Friday. The Beast Wars MPs are pretty damn awesome, I held off for a while but once Dinobot was announced I knew I was finally all in on the line. I'll probably rear back on official Takara G1 MPs and go more third party, I'm not liking those as much now, but the Beast Wars stuff is great. Mezco Wolverine was worth the wait, I really like him, but the ankle pivot is still half assed, Mezco needs to really get on that.
  22. Tking22
    Got my second pre-Christmas haul in, this one from HLJ, the third should arrive tomorrow... MonsterArts G-2017 is pretty awesome, I wasn't too sure if I would like the sculpt based on promo shots, but I really like him in hand. Not pictured but I also got the last two Figuarts special promo whatever droid units as well, most importantly is BB-8, which is pictured on the back of Rey's box, but wasn't bundled with Rey , they handled those bundles in a really dumb way.

    After owning over 30 MP style Transformer figures, I now finally have my first MP seeker, Starscream by Maketoys. I never bothered with the official Takara Starscream or seekers, they never looked good and they were priced terribly for how dated they are and looked. I almost considered the KOs which actually improved on the official product in many ways, but I just am not a fan of the official seeker mold no matter how you slice it, thankfully Maketoys came along and put out their own take on MP Starscream. He's more toon accurate then I normally like, which I usually complain about Takara's official stuff getting, but I feel he just ticks far more boxes then any other MP Starscream available. Figma Deadpool DX is cool, no QC issues with mine, but I've seen he's a bit of a mess for may other people. And that's it on Figuarts Halls, I have all 7 that I want, now I just need two more Iron Man releases and my Hall is officially complete!

    Damn yeah, I feel this one will be even more divisive among the fanbase then TFA was. I liked it overall, there were some actual real stakes and events in this one, something I felt TFA lacked severely. But the humor. The humor is getting to be a bit too much for me now, I get it, Disney light hearted quippy jokes are common place now, but I felt it was damn distracting and totally un-necessary most of the time. Like others have said, I'll need another viewing or two to form a stronger opinion, I still have all of those little Star Wars particles floating around my head making me all fuzzy, I think they're called midochlorians?

    Definitely a bit bummed by the performance issues, even on my new X. That said, I am having an insane amount of fun. I don't game on PC, have zero intention to, so I was really excited when PUBG was announced for Xbox One. I figured there would be some performance issues, it is early access, and it is PUBG, which is still pretty crappy even on some of the mightiest PC rigs. I'm only really having issues in the airport/lobby area before you drop, and the actual parachute drop, other then that, pretty damn solid for me honestly. The controls take some getting used to, but they work, and it is undeniably PUBG. I'm sure things will get ironed out with patches, so I'm not sweating it really, I can play it as is and it is fun, so I feel I'm personally getting my moneys worth. Plus, vaulting! I look forward to more patches, the game can only get better and smoother from here.
