    Am I the only one confused by the math here? From October 2019 to December 2020 is fifteen months, with a release scheduled for every month. That's 15 miniatures, not 50. Even at their extremely optimistic pace, it would take over four years to get 50 miniatures produced. Maybe it's supposed to say "in 2019-2024...?" I find this press release to be highly suspect.

    Haunting imagery, to be sure, but not powerful enough to earn that timeless John Barry score... I mean, everyone remembers him best for the 007 theme -- and his early Bond scores are magnificent, no doubt about it -- but The Black Hole was his masterpiece.

    The Judeo-Christian imagery suggests Reinhardt was sent to the fiery pits of hell, forever imprisoned within Maximillian, while an angel led the Palomino survivors through the pearly gates to salvation on the other side of the black hole.

    Thanks, @sh9000. Cancelled my BBTS order (which would've required me to eat the cost of a Rocketeer figure I had no interest in).

    Maximillian did not save Reinhardt. The ending of The Black Hole is open to many interpretations, but that's not one of them.

    Quit quoting that Minmei .gif, man! Simon Furman happened.

    Geez, that's a common assumption. I'll post the screengrab myself this time, and save sh9000 the trouble: Count the cannons, guys.

    Practically speaking, it's not going to happen. With Max Factory's PLAMAX 1:20 VF-1 kits available now, there just aren't enough fans with the skills (and the cash) to tackle a slightly-smaller resin kit version instead...

    Bandai did their homework...

    Takara did that with their Super Collection Figure line nearly two decades ago: I never would've believed that a simplified trailer like that would get produced at Masterpiece scale... but I guess TakaraTomy had to distinguish Convoy 3.0 somehow!

    No chance of that... She came in, did laundry, and left again... without even noticing the Xenomorph staring at her!

    Superior sh9000 genetics.

    Yeah, that's the Tsukuda Hobby vinyl figure... although they claim it's 1:5 scale. Given there was no suit used in Alien 3 -- just a miniature rod puppet and an animatronic head -- it's difficult to pin down exactly how large the "alien creature" was supposed to be.

    That was a perfectly legitimate excuse... before the advent of home video.

    Seven Walgreens? All on your way home? Sixteen? Has Walgreens bought out Starbucks, or something? How the hell can they have so many locations?

    That's Tsukuda Hobby's "Alien Creature."

    There's another quarter-scale Xenomorph I'd almost forgotten I had, since it's been hiding in a box for the past five years... The next time the wife comes to do laundry, she's in for a nasty surprise.

    The 1:72 YF-11s aren't worth the trouble of sending back, much less the cost of shipping.

    "...swapped figures"

    You mean Kathleen Kennedy? She's the one calling the shots now. If Lucas were even consulted, it would only be as a courtesy.

    There must be a translation problem here.

    Mech iDeas did a great job with "Bluster" and "Trench" (their Animated Huffer and Pipes), yet sales were disastrous -- five years later, and retailers still have them on clearance -- so I doubt any third-party would be willing to take on the financial risk now. Plus, direct head-to-head competition seems to be motivating 3P character choices nowadays.

    It's a clean break. Just needs a little CA glue. I can't even see where the break was.

    I'd keep it lower to the ground, if I were you... It's a significant weight, and a fall could result in significant damage.

    Magic Square rocks. Love the wires under the face!
