  1. Mazinkaiser SKL. I have not watched any of the old classic mazinkaiser but this iteration is full of awesome.

    Robot molestation - check

    pole dancers - check

    chicks in togas - check

    blood and gore - check

    bad ass heroes with little development - check

    bad guys go "squish" - check

    rocket punch + giant sword - check

    I loved the one pilot's reaction to using the rocket punch.

    "I know it's always impressive, but I hate waiting for them to come back."

  2. As someone who never liked Flint, I'm enjoying having a Flint who's kind of a jerk, and placed in the role of secondary heavy. That said, I was never a fan of the original Lady Jaye, either. But, I like her Renegades incarnation.

    Most of the characters do a good job of being reinventions of the old school characters. The two glaring exception being Mindbender, and "breaker." Both feel more like randomly applying old names to completely new characters. Then, there's Major Bludd. I'll spoilerize this, for those who haven't seen the last episode or two.

    Maybe it's just the voice, but he comes across more like a cross between Bludd and Zartan. Playing up his mercenary aspect hasn't really helped me shake that feeling. Cool car, though.

  3. the episode on tonight featured a midget's head exploding. make of that what you will.

    I've had sinus pressure headaches like that, before.

    That shot did strike me as unusually gory, even by Fringe standards. It was right up there with the airplane scene from the premiere, just shorter.

  4. My mom has done One Stroke painting on glass with that type of paint. It takes 28 days to fully cure. I think hers might be a different brand, since I've never known it to stay tacky for so long. Might just have to give it a couple more weeks, or you may have to find a suitable clear coat.

  5. I don't read comic books anymore (no place local, and the big two can't stop screwing up their universes) so I have no knowledge of this franchise. Non of the trailers did anythingto make me want to see it. But then, Roger Ebert called the movie "morally reprehensible." Now, I want to see it.

  6. Finally got some of these guys, tonight. Had to go an hour away, because the local wal-mart is useless. (they can't keep the grocery isles stocked, either) I thought I got the four figures I was most interested. Grabbed the wrong Mk. VI. Got the one with the stupid little light, instead of the one with the good articulation.

    Anyway. The detail is awesome on these little guys. Movie War Machine looks great, in this scale. I might have to pick up the helmetless one, when those come out, so I can have one with weapons on both hard points. The oversized gun/launcher just looks silly. Comic War Machine looks great, too. But, I'm not sure about the black washed gun-blue look. Debating repainting it.

    I haven't depackaged the Mk. VI, yet. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it. I'll either return it for a regular Mk. VI, or hold onto it until the Tony head version is released, and have swappable heads for the good body. If, I'm going to return it, I should probably stop playing with the stupid light....
