    What exactly screams fail to you? Not liking the new Godzilla design is one thing, but I don't see how that translates to fail for the entire film nobody has seen yet. The Shin design is really growing on me, the only thing I'm not liking at this point are the eyes, they remind me of elementary school craft day googly eyes. Other then that, this looks phenomenal, the scale, the seemingly useless modern military tech, this is all looking pretty damn promising to me.

    Yeah they obviously set up and are hoping for a season 2, did everyone see the final scene in the bathroom? I'm just hoping it got enough views to warrant a second season. Absolutely fantastic series.

    I'm glad to see we're finally getting some of the last Arc MP crew members we've all been missing. I just need Badcube to announce the Brawny reissue and Huff 2.0. I still don't want to, but there's few other options, I'm gonna grab an X-transbots Boost. I want the toy version to come out, but there's been little word on that so I don't even know if it's still getting released. And yes, I bet since we're now getting multiple MP Jazz options, Takara is probably set to announce their version..

    I watched all of season one today, damn great stuff. The music and soundtrack are phenomenal, it screams eighties the whole way through. So much good, I think Dobber said it well, it's like a number of great elements from different classic films rolled into one excellent, incredibly entertaining and well made season.

    I've got a few more episodes of Marco Polo season two then I'm on it! I've heard nothing but good things.

    I think he looks like the Black Racer. But Flashpoint, so who knows how all of this will go down, and how much of it will actually mean anything or stick.

    I did my part and bought two, one to open and one to leave sealed. It really is a great Figma. Like many others I missed out on the old Max Factory Guyver units, and now they of course go for insane prices, especially the core Guyver units, so I'm ecstatic to see Figma giving us ANY new Guyver figures at all.

    Figmas are hit and miss for me just like Figuarts. That said, I grabbed a Link about 2 years ago, and now I have like, a dozen or something, with more on pre-order. They're usually pretty great like I said, but you get a lemon every now and then, and then there are certain ones that will have a single nagging little issue with them, just like Figuarts! I find the two lines, Figuarts and Figma, pretty much swappable in most displays and collections, which is nice. It seems between the two, you can almost always get characters from whatever licensed series you're looking for, sometimes both take a whack at the same characters, then it's neat to get to compare. I think my favorite Figmas in my collection are the Attack on Titan ones, they're all pretty amazing and detailed, and plenty of accessories too so there's plenty of display options. The one thing Figma always does better then Figuarts is that basic stands come packaged with every figure, no need to buy Tamashii Stage Act anything. I'm VERY excited for One Punch Man, I need that in my life, plus it appears the Guyver line didn't die with Guyver 1, since we're getting female Guyver 2. Good Times. Now we just need her to sell so we can stop frakking around and get a Figma Guyver 3...

    Yeah I cancelled Backdraft at the last second, I don't picture him selling out anytime soon so I'm in no rush, I will probably grab him from BBTS whenever my 2001 Monsterarts GMK Godzilla and 1/6 Breaking Bad Jesse release. He still looks phenomenal, and far better then the TT version, but the mixed reception has me in no hurry. In other news I FINALLY got Willis/Hound and damn, this thing is pure green sex that happens to turn into an incredible looking jeep. He is exactly what I wanted, and he looks exactly how I wanted my MP Hound to look, FansToys done good here, this is my first figure from them. I've seen a number of TFW2005 members post that they're having ankle issues on their releases, mine seems fine for now, I've transformed him back and forth 7 different times and everything still seems fine on my copy. I was a bit worried about the transformation itself, the arm and chest area seemed to be a hassle, and while it was the first time, I've warmed up to it now. The steps to the transformation are very deliberate, there's little wiggle room, you kind of have to follow the steps for the chest and arms exactly or clearance becomes an issue, but like I said, just follow the steps to a T and everything goes in and out of place just fine. Willis is quite incredible, his paint job is beautiful, he poses well, and his proportions and silhouette are gorgeous, he is the defining MP Hound for me. I hate to see whatever blocky green turd Takara will put out and call Hound.

    Heavy breathing... Heavy breathing intensifies... I mean, we all knew it would happen eventually, it's just really satisfying when it comes out EXACTLY how you pictured, well done CW, well done. How will this all happen? Wally showed no signs of meta powers let alone speed last season? Flash Point aint gotta explain crap to you.
  11. Tking22
    Oh people know him and Wrestle exist, just for me personally he was way too short, squat, and fat to ever even consider.
  12. Tking22
    This is a bit depressing to read, unfortunately it seems to line up with what a lot of others are posting as well, very lame. PS-01A Sphinx was beautiful, and pretty much flawless for me, this guy being sub-par is quite disappointing, I may cancel for now and just wait for some more in hand reviews and impressions. Oh well, Willis/Hound is FINALLY on the way, I passed on Gundog because he just didn't do it for me, I've been waiting on Willis for a while so I'm stoked for him, early buzz on him has been almost universally positive.
  13. Tking22
    Yea this is REALLY worrying me now, on TFW2005 there's more and more reports of bad QC on Backdraft coming in, I still haven't paid for mine at BBTS, oddly enough I paid for Willis without even a 10 day notice, for Backdraft I got my 10 day notice nearly 10 days ago and still nothing. He looks SO good, and so much better then the TT version in my opinion, but after Sphinx Alternative being perfect, I'm not liking that this first Backdraft could be a dud and they may release a fixed alternative version of him later like Sphinx. I want to ship my loot at BBTS but I was waiting on Backdraft, I'm probably going to take the day and decide if I want to cancel and then just ship what I've got, I know, I'm a terrible flip flopper.

    Oddly enough I've never owned a single G1 figure, let alone Inferno. I've seen many posters mention Backdraft looking like the original G1 figure, so as I said I can't speak to that personally, I just think aesthetically it fits what I want for my MP Inferno. Fortunately though for this character in particular we got several options! I think amongst the options available everyone will find the one that "fits" for them, and that said I don't even think any of them look bad, I just prefer one over the others, they're all pretty excellent options, hell it looks like Dante may have built in LEDs. Takara is definitely nailing the hard core toon accurate look, and their engineering is as top notch as ever, I just don't think these newer releases fit in with most of the past ones that well, the vans in particular and now Inferno look a bit too toon like for me. With the vans there were no good third party options in my opinion, but with Inferno I actually had several options. Backdraft just has those extra little flares in both modes, more interesting sculpting, more silver and chrome, extra tampo, it just all seems to fit the aesthetic of MP-10 and up for a number of releases better then Takara's own new stuff.

    I just can't even consider the Takara version anymore, I debated it for a while, but the beautiful in hand shots of Backdraft along with these lack luster shots of the official made my decision for me. I can't go back, after seeing how amazing and detailed Backdraft looks, the official would just feel like a step back or a major down grade. I'll still check out official Grapple though, I'm still on board for that to mix it up, though he'll probably look odd next to the glorious MMC Inferno.
  16. Tking22
    Yup, glad I've got Backdraft on the way. Official MP Inferno looks okay from certain angles, and from others he looks boring as hell, easy pass.
  17. Tking22
    True, the Japanese sellers usually have MPs for a bit cheaper due to their early pricing or whatever. Still too expensive in my eyes, still sticking with Backdraft, which should be here any day now along with Willis/Hound...
  18. Tking22
    Good god that is expensive. Another reason to pass, I can somehow get a better looking third party version for cheaper. SMH, what are you doing Takara, you're making this too easy of a choice.
  19. Tking22
    Yup that's it, I always confuse the two.
  20. Tking22
    Oh boy, oh boy! I got my 10 day notice from BBTS for Backdraft and Willis! I can't wait, I've had a pile of loot that's got over $400 worth of goodies in it sitting for months now waiting for these two guys, they both kept getting delayed and I just I just kept waiting. Can't wait to finally get Hound and Inferno into my collection.
  21. Tking22
    Will it actually separate and combine though? If it doesn't I have zero interest.

    I seemed to have gotten lucky these past few Bandai pre-order nights, I once again nabbed all I wanted from HLJ. I grabbed my Max 1J, and I got my Figuarts AOTC Obi-Wan, Mk 3 Ironman, and Monsterarts Resurgence Godzilla.
  23. Tking22
    I locked down Figuarts AOTC Obi-Wan and Iron Man MK 3 last night with my Hi-Metal 1J Max, I also grabbed the new Monsterarts Toho Resurgence Godzilla.

    Okay this time it's for real, they're serious, it's really happening people! http://io9.gizmodo.com/get-your-jaegers-ready-the-pacific-rim-sequel-is-comin-1782917001

    I'd guess nobody important, but if Snyder/DC had to make it somebody, I'd say Vicky Vale for some reason.
