    More like Godzilla -0.00 You Can (Not) Kaiju

    Looks like the nosegear has the same issue as the YF-21, where it doesn't seem to be able to QUITE fully unfold, leaving a kink/gap in the middle of the strut.

    I wonder if they'll go back more like the original's footage/style, or double-down on "contrived experiences" and have tons of CG events blatantly "staged" to experience like in the current version. I like the original version way more.

    Ironically, the Tron coaster at Disney World is my all-time fave. Not that I go on very many coasters to compare, but I love it 10x more than any other I think. It's so SMOOOOOOTH.

    The radar dome screams "Apache Longbow". https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rotor_Head_and_Radar_Dome_of_ROCA_AH-64E_810_20140531.jpg

    I just noticed you put The Shinning instead of The Shining, but that may actually be even better+more accurate.

    All they have to do is greenlight Legacy, with Capt Seven of the 1701-G, and you've got a guaranteed audience. Is it guaranteed to be good? No, but it's got a heck of a lot better shot than what they're doing. "The latest Enterprise out exploring the cosmos". Basic, but we've veered off-track for a while now. DS9 was a great one-time experiment, but when like 3/4 of the shows lately are "not a ship of experienced people out exploring", it seems we've lost the core aspect of the franchise. There's always a cadet or "fresh from the academy" person on board, but when entire shows (don't forget Prodigy, and to a lesser degree Lower Decks) focus heavily on that, and not the people "actually good and experienced at the thing they do" it can drag things down, or stretch believability/plausibility. "Why are the noobs always saving the galaxy? What are the people who are actually supposed to be better at these things doing in the meantime?" ::edit:: OMG, I just realized I basically made an early TNG anti-Wesley post. Well, the sentiment remains...

    HMR VF-19P

    David Hingtgen replied to BlueMax's topic in Toys

    A white speaker gunpod wouldn't be too far off from Mylene's. Guess they don't have an HMR MAXL very far along, if at all, or they could have used that.

    Mainly that last sentence. Even though this is just a minor remold, it's not free for them to create the modifications, either money-wise or time/resource-wise. While "Max and Milia 1/48 VF-1J's" would cost them virtually nothing to create, and would sell out instantly worldwide.

    I think you forgot "The Fly" in that list. (I saw it in the theater!)

    Also just watched---agree with Dangard Ace. It's fine, and Leto is surprisingly "un-Leto-like". Unless you truly despise him, he's "acceptable" as the lead. Plus, half the movie is just dialogueless face-less programs doing cool trippy stuff to a synth* track for minutes on end---and that's really the main draw, isn't it? *please forgive my lack of sub-genre knowledge. I have no idea what to call it, past "it's not rock, it's not country, it's not classical jazz".

    Every time I try to "reconcile" what's going on with the toon Aerialbots, I give up. I think it's compounded by the fact that if you ever freeze-frame them (especially the combination sequence), it REALLY looks like the artists "lose track of who's who", and switch designs/colors half-way through. It's like, "Skydive leaps into the air, gains Fireflight's colorscheme, then Air Raid's robot design/wings, then turns into a leg" or something like that. It's that, AND the whole "can't tell wings from tailplanes, so they just tend to add lots of them all over" syndrome. It's like everyone has wings on their legs AND tailplanes on their legs, AND wings on the backpack AND the tail on the backpack. Just, 'stuff everywhere' combining all the robot modes from the whole team on every individual. It's just a mess. If there's one team where you should NOT attempt to closely copy the cartoon, it's the Aerialbots. Because while the Combaticons may alter their color/design when combining, at least they don't turn into each other while doing so...

    No need, it means "hope" in Tron-world.

    I think all the "main" parts are printed. Stickers are just for tuning/customization options, like stripes etc.

    Knowing Bandai's love of hollow expanding pins in their joints, I imagine almost all DX's have some degree of cracking (even on a microscopic level), and dyes will immediately soak in and make the cracks more visible. (and possibly exacerbate/weaken them).
