    Kingdom? Here in Japan, we're still waiting on several Siege releases from back in 2019. Despite prominent appearances in the first season of the show, TakaraTomy still hasn't released Siege Ratchet, Skywarp, Soundblaster, or the so-called "Rainmakers." Exclusive retools like Slamdance, Aragon or Red Wing will likely never see releases here. Ah yes, the Dinobot quandary. I know it well. I suspect sales of the "Lost Exo-Realm" line were very poor by the time they released LER-07 "Pinchar," which would explain why so few were produced. I bought the first couple FansProject Dinobots, but they were much too stylized for my liking, and I imagine many other collectors were equally disappointed. I found G-Creations "Shuraking" Dinobots satisfied that itch for me (although their Swoop was significantly oversized, relative to the others)... However, I ended up loving their combined form so much I've never displayed them individually! I make it a rule never to buy the same figures twice... but I was sorely tempted in their case.

    Dude knows his audience! Officially?

    Really? He seems like a perfectly logical choice to me, given how prominently he appeared in the cartoon. I understand Masterpiece Devcon and Hauler are also in the works... but only after NUL-A gets released, of course. Obscure characters like Cliffjumper, Jazz, or Springer will probably never get made, and there's obviously no demand for background Decepticons like Galvatron or Cyclonus, either... not when major characters like Deceptitran and Custodiobot still need MP figures!

    So far, so good.

    Yes, a sequel would be preferable. Hugh Keays-Byrne is no longer with us, and I'd rather not see them re-cast Immortan Joe.

    I've never known psychic phenomenon to be affected by physical properties like distance; Thanos' snap, for instance, was supposed to have wiped out half the population of the universe at once (even though it took several minutes of Infinity War to dramatize). Nonetheless, the Burn was traced to Su'Kal thanks to an algorithm that analyzed a fraction of a millisecond's difference in data points, so apparently it was a gradual wave-like thing that appeared to have been instantaneous, but technically wasn't. You've obviously put more thought into this than the writers did.

    Y'know, if Hasbro packaged all their new CHUG releases in boxes like that... ...I'd probably have bought every single one of them.

    I'm always happy when Star Trek acknowledges its roots in the '60s (be it Orions, Andorians, or the Guardian of Forever), but Marvel comic science from the '60s? That's a bridge too far. And yet, still considerably less so than Star Trek: Picard... I dare you to try and rewatch that!

    Why would you wait for Takara? They've been producing Masterpiece Transformers for seventeen years, and still haven't gotten through half of the first season cast. If you're only missing a few minibots, then you must already have at least ten third-party figures representing the above characters... so why not "Boost," "Brawny," "Grump," or "Hunk?"

    Damn, dude. My 1:12 Kitz Concept has a cleaner paint job than that!

    Can you get stock directly from Bandai, or do you have to order from the p-bandai website?

    The sequel trilogy did Star Wars dirty. Ackbar has a pivotal role in the Mon Cala arc of The Clone Wars (at the beginning of season 2). Check it out, if you haven't already.

    I can most definitely confirm that it does.

    Easily done... ...but why stop there? Supers for everyone! From the source, of course.
  16. tekering
    Yes, they're identical.

    Or the Arcadia reissues, for that matter. You might still find an Arcadia VF-1J w/GBP at retail price... Oh no, a properly-scaled 1:48 pilot would never fit in Bandai's DX cockpit.
  18. tekering
    Yamato's 1:60 VF-1J.

    My DX TV Supers arrived this morning. Somebody asked about the differences in armor...? Sorry, these quick-and-dirty pics will have to suffice for now.

    I never would've expected to hear the voice of Bart LaRue on Discovery, but I'm pleased to say it confirmed my suspicions from last week's episode.

    Why couldn't Bucky be Black Panther? He spent a lot more time in Wakanda than Falcon...

    It's frakkin' fantastic. I've never owned such an evocative figure. Look at this pathos! And the balance is unreal! I think the Shinji figure's a tad on the small side, though... But enough opinions; let's make some objective comparisons. That's the Real Action Heroes reissue on the left, and the old Tsukuda Hobby vinyl figure on the right... and as you can see, the Dynaction is distinctly less purple than the others. The Dynaction can meet-or-beat any pose the RAH is capable of, and balances much, much better... although I'd have to say I still prefer the RAH aesthetically. The Dynaction's a helluva lot more fun to play with, though! Yeah, but they're lighter than the gums: The Dynaction just has unpainted plastic for the inner jaw, which makes the teeth difficult to distinguish from the gums. That's why I'm gonna have to paint 'em. This is Evangelion we're talking about, isn't it? "Very wrong" and "almost gross" are par for the course.
  23. tekering
    Well, damn. I'm gonna have to paint the teeth.

    Couldn't be as overly sexualized as the Flame Toys Furai model...
