    Congrats! Looks like you're having fun with it. I don't recognize the Marines. Are they video game characters...?
  2. tekering
    No, you're not... but I've learned not to criticize what others praise on these forums.

    It's amazing that 1:12 scale figures are starting to look as good as 1:6 scale figures did a decade ago...! Unfortunately, they cost as much, too. "Legendary Assassin?" Is this an unlicensed third-party figure or something? They don't have the rights to use the name John Wick...?

    Who are these characters? What scale are these figures? What company is producing them? How can they be ordered? When will they be released? How will they be distributed? A little context would be appreciated.

    "Leatherhead."

    The hip joints and the internal structure of the abdomen look identical to the previous 'Lloyds, with some minor modification evident in the hands and the pistols. It's at least 90% new parts, though. That's a considerable understatement. 🤩

    Very stable, easy to balance. A stand is only necessary for dynamic poses (which is what it's designed for). The instructions include a detailed marking guide, and even explains what the markings represent (in Japanese, at least). I was surprised to see the Roman alphabet represented...! You'd have to drill holes if you wanted to mount those parts. I'm more likely to use them on my ol' Bandai Regults, I think. Yes, the plastic is a clean, bright white... but being a model kit, you're expected to paint it. 😝 Depends on what you're displaying them with! 😅 Zentraedi scale is a very subjective thing.

    And it's only gonna get worse, as we transition to a 4K standard. They only rendered the graphics at 1080p resolution. 🙄 Frankly, though, it didn't look great even twenty years ago. It's always been painfully obvious how limited ILM's motion capture software was; they clearly could only track subjects in constant motion, leading to a clone army that simply can't stand still. The Clone Troopers are constantly shifting their weight and fidgeting like they've gotta pee or something. Of course, it's an extremely minor nitpick compared to the quality of the acting, the dialogue, the editing, the attempts at humour, and every other failing of the prequels...

    Considerably... and much better balance. Oh, and it parks, too. 😊
  11. tekering
    Nah, just a little rounder.

    Yes, it seems there are seams. Clear parts for the win! Some objective comparisons: The eternal scale question:

    The gunpod may be 1:24 scale, but the rest of the Battloid obviously isn't. It looks about half that, at best. 🙄 Hell, the TomyTec Valkyries have better paint app's and sharper detail than your statue... and they're 1:144 scale! 😅
  14. tekering
    Yeah, great scale. Needs more blood! 😅
  15. tekering
    Great posing, @lechuck. That's what I call serendipity!

    Oh man, they so badly need to produce a ver.2 GP01... I mean, every single angle on the MG was wrong.

    He might've looked more convincing if they hadn't gone overboard with the guyliner... Tom Hanks is the bigger miscasting, though. Was there no actor out there who "sounds" like a Dutchman that they could have hired? 🙄 I was confused by the vintage music. Why use a cover of "Unchained Melody" for the trailer, as opposed to... any original Elvis hit single? I love me some Baz as well, but this looks like a bigger misfire than Bohemian Rhapsody.
  18. tekering
    Thanks! Must be a custom, then (like that Valkyrie Steed).

    Who... or rather, what the hell is this thing?
  20. tekering
    Very well-stated. Turning James T. Kirk into Peter Quill pretty much doomed the "Kelvin" films from the outset.
  21. tekering
    Has the damn finally burst? Are licensing rights now a grab-bag free-for-all? It's always confused me how nigh-identical Marvel figures from SH Figuarts, MAFEX, Revoltech, Comicave, ThreeZero, etc. could be produced in Asia, but seeing the same thing happen with NECA and Super 7's TMNT lines, and now Hiya announcing 1:12 scale RoboCop figures, Godzilla toys, and... GI Joe!? Hasbro's licensed GI Joe to another action figure manufacturer?! What the hell is going on?
  22. tekering
    Or even (as the Trek films are wont to do) simply transfer Chekov to another starship.

    The Apache's great, but I prefer the sleek lines of its immediate predecessor, the AH-1W Super Cobra. It's got access panels for maintenance, engine repair, and a removable toolbox: A highly detailed set of flight controls for both pilot and co-pilot: Engine detailing and authentic markings: ...and shelf presence to spare. This was the most recent addition to my collection, and I had to pay a hefty late tax on the secondary market.
  24. tekering
    Nice. Would you mind measuring its length for me? I'd like to determine the scale.

    Regardless of whether they satisfied your expectations, entertained you, or represent what you think Star Trek should be, the "Kelvin" films have proven financially successful, particularly Star Trek Into Darkness. While Wrath of Khan remains the perennial favorite among fans, it's important to acknowledge that Into Darkness made nearly FIVE TIMES more money, and that's ultimately what decides whether further films get produced. In fact, if you add the combined worldwide gross of all six original Trek films, AND add the combined worldwide gross of all four Next Generation films, the total still amounts to less than what the three Bad Robot films have earned.
