    Thanks for that. I didn't know about any of those books. I guess I really checked out on Star Trek. I do agree about Seven of Nine. I never watched all of Voyager. I got into Voyager late right before Seven of Nine showed up. I thought that costume was silly. But I kind of want to watch those early seasons I missed to see how the show started. I still haven't seen the last movie. After the first two reboot movies, I'm not sure I really want to. I think I kind of spoiled a bit of the story a while back because I was curious about Idris Elba's character.

    I forgot about it myself. It was just when HappyConsoleGamer posted a pick up video with stuff from the shop, that I remembered someone posted about it here in the Megazone toy topic.

    The Robin is like the biggest joke figure I've seen from Hot Toys. One of those, we'll put it on display just for the hell of it. You know that's not making it out. I would be shocked if it does. If they do make Robin, they need to go back and make Shaw from Prometheus, the TV Batmobile and Batgirl. Also, any other potentially better figures.

    Hot Toys needs to do a redo on Dutch from Predator and make Harrigan while they are at it too. And I know Hot Toys isn't able to, but I wish some company made a custom Mara to go with Jedi Luke.

    I'm hoping for weapon props too. I always called the show G-Force or Battle of the Planets. I can't remember. It was one of those shows that came on early. Like somewhere between 6AM and 7:30AM. And I wasn't up at that time when I was a kid. I tried taping episodes and was only able to get a few. I just knew that the Phoenix was one of the coolest things. Similar to how the veritech could transform, I just couldn't believe someone could come up with something that cool. Add in the fact that the Phoenix could go underwater and hold vehicles. It was a plane I would always draw in class. You guys have to know the background of the bad guy. I doubt that the movie will stick with the original background from Gatchaman. And for Jun / Princess, I'm hoping that they cast perhaps a cool looking and stylish Asian type actress. No more Scarlett Ghost in the Shell or Olivia Munn Psylocke nonsense.

    I was ok and curious about the show until I saw the Borg and thought them again? But I'll still check out the first episode or so. But I think it might turn out that they should have ended TNG with the TV show. I might stick with the new show until they reveal the mystery of that girl. That new crew is not getting me excited at all. What are these Star Trek relaunch novels?

    Max's VF-1S needs to have battle damage.

    I thought he might get a real F-14 but that was before I realized the costs of maintaining a plane with a jet engine. Add in that the F-14 is a twin engine military aircraft and even an actor like Tom Cruise would probably pass on that. The costs of keeping the Mustang flying are relatively cheap in comparison. I wouldn't be surprised if he owned a decommissioned F-14 though. Even if it's just a shell. I remember seeing a youtube video where some people stumbled across the ruins of a decommissioned F-14 I think. And if Top Gun 2, is all about love letter to aviation or however he put it in that interview. And since Maverick is flying Tom Cruise's plane which I don't think was a Navy plane. And going from the trailer, Maverick seems to have Tom Cruise's interests with bikes everywhere and flying at least three planes. It might be possible that Maverick is flying the Blackbird as that's another notable aviation plane that a lot of people love.

    It's a very tempting car. Just like the Mustang is a more European design so is the Corvette now. I lean towards the Mustang though since it's more usable as a daily driver. The Corvette seems like a weekend / track car. And if they gave just a little more thought to those buttons. It's bothering me because it could be so awesome with buttons that did more than control air conditioning.

    I have a Hot Toys Jedi Luke as well. Awesome figure. I hate the Last Jedi as well. Garbage movie. I guess you know Hot Toys has an Endor Jedi Luke coming out that you can pre-order if you already haven't. And there is always the possibility of a quarter scale Jedi Luke since Hot Toys has quarter scale Darth Vader and Boba Fett figures. But I must warn you. You can never get only one Hot Toys figure. Once you get one, you'll be so amazed with the likeness that you are bound to get other favorite characters.

    I think someone posted about this in the toy topic. But someone in Japan made a video tour of this Megazone 23 pop up shop.

    For some reason the new Corvette's interior reminds me of KITT. It's probably just how closed off the driver is from the passenger. It really comes off like an 80s or 90s driver focused interior. Too bad all the switches just seem to be air and heating controls.
  13. JetJockey
    Awesome. The news I'm sure every fan was waiting for.

    Well I watched the trailer and thought it was cool. Then I watched it on mute and thought something different. I haven't seen the most recent Mission Impossible. But these days Tom Cruise keeps selling these stunts that he is doing in the movies. Which is fine. But you still need to make a good movie. Not just a look what crazy stunt I do in the movie, movie. Especially when you know there will be some cut that's not him or a CG performance. For example that shot over the river that someone pointed out. I would be shocked if they let Tom Cruise pilot alone that low over water at that speed. So some of this stuff comes off a bit like something in those old Super Dave shows just with more realism to me. But the trailer does play up that nostalgia which I don't know how it will turn out in the final movie. Tron Legacy by the same director did the same thing, which I mentioned before. And the original Tron is a way better movie. My fear is it will probably be the same with Top Gun 2. Tron and Top Gun are two of my favorite movies which I've seen hundreds of times. I only need one hand for the number of times I've seen Tron Legacy. I hope Top Gun 2 won't be the same.

    They are still showing Endor Leia which is good. I guess we'll finally get her for pre-order soon. And quarter scale Iron Man Mark 2 looks great.

    No the cels in auction aren't mine. I'm not in Japan. Just alerting members here of options. Hopefully with Wonder Fest next week, we might get some vintage character figures. I always look for original Dirty Pair, Macross, Megazone, and other characters. I don't know why they aren't making an improved Eve figure with all the Garland toys companies are working on. Anyway, there is this old gallery of nice Megazone cels. http://www.animanga.com/cels/gallery/yann/megazone.html I'm sure I either posted or mentioned HappyConsoleGamer's Megazone video in one of the other topics around here. I know he showed his anime record collection with the Megazone records too. I know someone mentioned him on Animiego's twitter when they announced the project. So he will probably have another Megazone video coming up.

    This show needs more love. The Return of the Joker movie is great too. One of the best Batman movies, animated or live action.

    Announced at Comic Con by the Russo Brothers. If this works out, this might be the best anime to live action project. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/russo-brothers-grimjack-battle-of-the-planets-adaptation-1203273578/

    I'm just not fond of this no risk money to big or even medium sized companies that can and should be able to afford the risk. I've mentioned it before in the video game and anime Blu-ray topics as well.
  20. JetJockey
    Episode 3 also has some stuff directly from Dangaio episode 2. There is probably more from other anime that I'm just not familiar with. I finished the show and I'll spoiler tag just in case. I'll probably pick one up after Comic Con and Wonder Fest. I see Good Smile has a second version coming out too. I'm getting this version of her. I've never even heard of Transformers Shattered Glass before but every character seems to be designed off one of those Transformers. SSSS Gridman is probably the coolest mech anime I've seen in a long time. But I'm hoping Evangelion is really good as I still haven't seen that beyond the first two episodes in English. And there are supposed to be Evangelion references in Gridman too according to some reviews.

    Good cels and sketches are so rare that the prices can get crazy fast. Although there are some Megazone 23 cels on Yahoo Japan auctions right now. And I think most Megazone 23 collectors might be after cels and sketches from Part 1 more than Parts 2 and 3. Still since I've been searching only after seeing Megazone in the last year or so. I haven't seen any good cels that I'm after from Parts 2 or 3 yet. These have been up for the while but the starting prices are probably stopping people. The first one at $550+ https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-k396496180 And another at $700. https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-t639140677

    I haven't seen the old TV show. But I want to check it out. I have a good run of the comics which are pretty good. The Black Canary, Huntress, and Orcale / Batgirl team is cool. Suicide Squad isn't anything to really check out. Harley is the best thing about the movie. Batman's few scenes are pretty good too but they are quick. The movie also has a blink and you'll miss it reference to Robin in this DC Universe. Which again just shows how sloppy the whole thing is.

    Why is this big company still doing Kickstarter type stuff? I thought after Jabba's thing that maybe they would actually make big toys without this sort of fan money grab. Retroblasting on youtube had a few episodes about this situation.

    When did the Aoshima come out? I remember QMX had some Enterprise models but they also were expensive and they don't seem to make them anymore. I know they made the first two movie versions. And perhaps a Next Generation model. I can't be sure as I know I saw a D model fairly recently in the last few years at Comic Con.

    Did you see the Mikimoto Gunbuster hanken auction? I would go after something like that over a shikishi. Do you know if Mikimoto still does sketches at conventions? I recall seeing a few of his sketches before. I think the Gunsmith Cats Kickstarter had a sketch art option from Kenichi Sonoda. But I know HappyConsoleGamer got a few sketches I think for free at a convention.
