  1. 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.
  2. Y'know, if Hasbro packaged all their new CHUG releases in boxes like that... ...I'd probably have bought every single one of them.
  3. 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!
  4. 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?"
  5. Damn, dude. My 1:12 Kitz Concept has a cleaner paint job than that!
  6. Can you get stock directly from Bandai, or do you have to order from the p-bandai website?
  7. 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.
  8. I can most definitely confirm that it does.
  9. Easily done... ...but why stop there? Supers for everyone! From the source, of course.
  10. Yes, they're identical.
  11. 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.
  12. Yamato's 1:60 VF-1J.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Why couldn't Bucky be Black Panther? He spent a lot more time in Wakanda than Falcon...
  16. 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.
  17. Filmmaker and exhibitor Michael Moore expresses his thoughts: https://anchor.fm/rumble-with-michael-moore/episodes/Ep--144-Cinema-Saves-The-World-encrt8
  18. It's those damned binary suns. Look how badly Owen, Beru, and Obi-Wan aged between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Yeah, that armor looked totally wrong on Temuera Morrison. No, this is only a few years after Return of the Jedi.
  19. Yeah, they're Imai figures, from their Macross 15th Anniversary line. They're about 1:24, which doesn't really scale with anything else SDFM... I have a set for sale, if anyone's interested.
  20. Nah, I never much cared for the Razor Crest design to begin with... and it's already had more time onscreen than practically any other ship in the franchise, save the Ghost. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce a much cooler design for Mando to trash (and Hasbro to milk).
  21. I think you may have confused The Mandalorian with The Rise of Skywalker. THAT felt like lousy fanservice. "The Tragedy" felt like the work of talented filmmakers who know their audience. Wouldn't that suggest there was too much script for a 30 min. episode? I have to agree with you there. I was equally dismayed by the inconsistency.
