    I've probably been pampered by MF's figma line too much, LOL! I agree that many of the 6" figs are decent, but IMO Cheetara didn't really measure up--gigantic hands, giraffe neck and small head. That said, given the price point of the line, it was the best they could do to give her an articulated neck and preserve the long hair. But yeah, the toys didn't all suck. I kept hearing about how bad the 4" figs were, and after reading a couple of reviews, I got the impression that the line was pretty bad. As for the 6" figs, I've only heard discussions of Cheetara, which is basically the weakest of the figs so far.

    I pre-ordered the Cuirasser at my local hobby store. Passed on Saber, though. Didn't like her design much--too plain, and the sword design looked tacky. I like Irisviel and her wire hawk thing, but since I didn't watch the anime, I decided to save the cash for something else. I'm thinking about pre-ordering Kiritsugu, though. I'm a real sucker for assassin-type figs. Really liking his weapons, and thought he'd look cool riding that sweet bike. A question to those who've watched the anime: is Saber the only one who ever rode the Cuirasser?

    I'd pay good money for a Priss in hardsuit in ANY scale. Missed out on the Yamato version, both the toy and the model kit--heard there were some issues.

    Sound like a promising episode. Guess I'll have to make some time for it today.

    Started on Ikki Tousen recently (thanks renegadeleader1, for the recommendations!) The fan-service is just a little heavy for my tastes, but I guess it's one of the major pulling factors for its target teenage(?) audience. Before watching, I got the impression that Kanu Unchou was the star of the show; she seems to be the most popular character by far, and I've only seen figs of her and maybe Ryoumou. I'm sure she'll turn up at some point, but so far the spotlight's been on Sonsaku Hakufu. Speaking of whom, she's starting to annoy me with her stupidity. Even by anime toroi standards, she's pretty dense. Not an unlikeable character, but WAY dense. That said, overall, the show's got my attention, and I'll certainly keep watching. The whole idea of warriors from the Three Kingdoms reliving their fates in another lifetime is cool IMO, and the fight scenes aren't half bad.

    Probably not, by the looks of it. Honestly, I'm not sure if the toy line is any indication of the show's popularity--the figs just plain sucked, with only a couple of exceptions (Mumra got decent reviews, I think). Either way, they'd better pick up the pace with the main story, because it's really starting to drag.

    Caring less and less about the show. The last two eps did nothing for me, and I'm starting to wonder if I should watch the next one. I'll probably watch it until the end if this season, though.

    Nice! Where'd you get that diorama, BTW?

    About the Hitman trailer; I'm just a sucker for the franchise. Violence is nothing new to Hitman, and 47's never been known to be chivalrous about the subject of killing women. But gangsta nuns in latex? On another subject, too bad Tomb Raider's been delayed to next year. At least there's still RE 6 and the ZOE HD collection to look forward to.

    The thing about Japanese pronunciations is that as far as kanji is concerned, there are sometimes two ways to pronounce it. Either way, Kanu Unchou sounds very similar to Guan Yun-Chang (Kanu=Guan, Un=Yun, Chou=Chang.) Thanks for the info. Sounds just like my kind of anime. Hopefully, some of those anime streaming sites still have it available; I think it's already been a few years after its initial airing.

    Three words: Bought. On. Sight.

    Still deciding whether to laugh or cry. Oh, who am I kidding? I've been waiting to jump on this for months! This thing is pre-ordered on sight! BTW, where exactly is this up for pre-order?

    That's Guan Yu's "style-name," isn't it? He's born Guan Yu, but later names himself Guan Yun-Chang. It seems a lot of people like to give themselves more majestic/fitting names after becoming famous. BTW, I really have to scour the net for a few eps of Ikki Tousen and this Kohime Muso you mentioned. I've heard of the former, but never bothered to watch. Maybe now's a good time to try a couple of eps. Now watching season 2 of Naruto, and still loving it.

    Nice, but until a bag of 1000 dollar bills magically appears on my coffee table one morning, along with the keys to a much bigger house, this thing's too big and likely too expensive to add to my currently meager HT collection.

    Saw this thread and decided to watch an ep out of curiosity. Pretty good; I'll definitely continue with the rest of the show. The CLAMP-style super tall animation takes just a little getting used to, though. Not sure where the plot is headed (too early to tell), but it seems promising. As protagonists go, I prefer the more reserved Saya from Blood+. Not saying the Blood-C version isn't likeable or anything--I just prefer the Blood+ Saya more.

    I just thought maybe he might have started to change for the better after getting Cheetara and resolving his past. Apparently not. As for Pumyra, she seems more defensive and jaded than irrational.
  17. GU-11
    Yeah, I agree on King of Fighters. I made it through half the movie, but couldn't go through another minute of it. It was actually worse than SF: Chun-Li.
  18. GU-11
    Just watched the latest ep.

    Walther WA-2000 sniper rifle, if I'm not mistaken.

    You sir, have a serious bat infestation problem. BTW, I spotted a cool looking BRS statue in the bottom center of the pic.

    I've already got KOS-MOS, so I'll have to get T-ELOS as well. Not as many accessories as KOS-MOS, but on the bright side, it's a lot cheaper.
  22. GU-11
    Definitely buying MP-12. It's a little on the simple side as far as transformation, but it looks good enough in both modes. Hell, I'd buy it just for the Countach alt mode. Just hope the price reflects the smaller size.

    @ Chronocidal: Thanks for the heads-up! I'll be watching the youtube clips from the Lightning DLC. A game without a real ending does not warrant any more money being dumped on it. Yeah, that game dug up some good memories for me as well; feeling all warm and fuzzy right now. Was a few months from starting college, when I played Xenogears.
  24. GU-11
    I'll only consider downloading it if it's the supposed "true" ending. If it's more pointless filler, I'm not spending another cent of this game. Still kicking myself for having bought this instead of Batman - Arkham Asylum. BTW, how much are they asking for this DLC?

    SCOOP thread!

    GU-11 replied to EXO's topic in Toys

    Good to hear that Micheal's Valk is next, but I'll save the celebrations for until I have it displayed in my glass shelf. Got blind-sided the last time when my local hobby store couldn't come through with the VF-25S Ozma I pre-ordered.
