    Actually, upon further reflection, the misuse of "android" in Robotech dialogue was probably a deliberate choice, just as "robot tanks" was a deliberate change made in the scripts for Star Blazers. A lot less violence would need to be cut for American television if the censors assumed the enemy combatants were merely machines (regardless of visual evidence to the contrary).

    I agree, it's obligatory. Why deprive yourself?

    No, but I've barely touched it. Like virtually all my figures, I opened it up, found the combination of pose and accessories I liked, and then placed it gingerly on a shelf. My toys may get moved around or photographed, but they don't get played with. However, I'm not above making significant modifications to figures I'm not happy with... like, if it can't hold the pose I want it to, I'll make whatever changes are necessary to achieve it. Perhaps you should consider the same.

    I always assumed they just didn't know the difference. They obviously didn't know what the word "android" meant.

    I've been waiting for an EVA-02 reissue with better paint app's, since RAH did such a great job with the new Unit 01...

    I'd pay to see John de Lancie perform it as Q.

    So, Thanos turns out to be the hero! Interesting twist.

    Is it any wonder? They shot it back in 2016, but it's taken this long to get any kind of distribution... Apparently, nobody had any faith in it.

    Guys! The vintage Kenner figures from the Sears Cantina Playset are now canon! Anybody else notice 'em?

    Much better, Bobby.

    If it's anything like Flame Toys' "Furai" Transformers kits, I'm sure you'll be pleased.

    And, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... here comes episode 9. Far beyond mere scripting issues, this was disjointed, poorly edited and badly directed. I wasn't really expecting it to get better, but I didn't think it was going to get this bad... I actually have higher expectations for Discovery season 3 at this point. Mind you, that Sutra chick was HAWT.

    I did! In related news, I also picked up this event-exclusive: Isn't he Mandadorable?

    That's weird. They expect those to sell? That's insane. They can't possibly expect those to sell.

    If only they'd at least added seatbelts... Poor George didn't even have body armor!

    Absolutely. "The Beginning" was better than The Phantom Menace, and "The Director and the Jedi" was much better than The Last Jedi.

    The "Furai" IDW Optimus Prime model kit is 16cm when assembled... aka Voyager-scale.

    I highly recommend 'em.

    Oh, I love the "Solid Essence Collection." How delightfully retro.

    Hey, c'mon... If it weren't for Robotech, this forum probably wouldn't even exist... and if it weren't for the ideal version of Macross that only exists in our heads, we probably wouldn't spend so much time and money trying to chase it. Rose-colored nostalgia fuels most of our toy purchases, be it Transformers, Star Wars, or Robotech Macross and Mospeada.

    Hi-Metal R

    One of mine has a defective knee joint, rendering the articulation moot. It's so floppy, it barely supports its own weight... I never even bothered to pre-order one, but since they're 30% off on Amazon now, I bought one last week... It's sexy as hell.

    What's "The Tape Corps?" Are those just Masterpiece knock-offs?
  23. tekering
    Yeah, I'm watching it now. So far, the story is as stupid as I remember it being... ...although Hux's sudden reveal that "there was another transport in the desert" (carrying Chewie) doesn't seem like such a cheat, now that I see it was visible in a quick establishing shot. Okay, J.J. I'll give you that one.

    I really hope this Echo "buisness" is finished now... the Bad Batch have gotten a little tiresome after four episodes in a row. Hoping for a new setting with different characters next week.

    In Brofessor's defense, I think this is an apt analogy. Just look at Facebook; among the myriad Robotech fan groups is one specifically for The Masters War (which is mostly fan art of Southern Cross characters and mecha). It has 1400 members. FOURTEEN HUNDRED.
