She does a "really good job" at whatever character she does, if you catch my meaning : http://yayahan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=65 She has two Sharon Apples and a Sheryl Nome. I think one of my favorites is her Black Cat from Spiderman.

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
Vostok 7 replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So my wife said to me the other day that I should stop buying all the "cheap, junky" Iron Man figures (i.e. the 3.25" figures) and buy ones that are "a better investment". If that doesn't sound like an endorsement to start "investing" in Hot Toys Iron Man figs, I don't know what is! What's the best place to start pre-ordering War Machine and Black Widow? -
I've got one for sale. They're not bad figures, about the only bad part is that the hip and shoulder ball joints like to pop out of their sockets and there's no easy way to get them back together because of the cloth, you can't see what you are doing. This is the problem I have with mine, the hip popped out and I just haven't been able to get it back together. It can be done with enough patience. Compared to the Brave Ghokin Ingrams, though, the thing is a pile of junk really. But then the Brave Ghokins are mostly die-cast and have LED lights and all that good stuff, not really a fair comparison. All the accessories it comes with are pretty nice though, especially compared to the Revoltech version.

Official Bandai DX Chogokin VB-6 König Monster Thread
Vostok 7 replied to Funkenstein's topic in Toys
Actually, I don't think anyone has ever officially said the DX toys are 1/60 scale. It's certainly not on the boxes anywhere. -
Any word on MW5 or is it going the way of Duke Nukem Forever?

SOLD. -
Well, the Nazi Germany connection is obvious, they never made an attempt to hide the analogue. But I think Zeon is very much an amalgation of all the "bad guys", at least the most significant ones of the past 100 years, and that is Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. THIS. I've been DYING for something other than a huge expensive resin kit or a Gashapon disease ridden MSIA of that suit FOREVER.

A little bigger than the MQ which is good.

In the end, we're pretty much saying the same thing, really. For instance, US philosophy to getting humans to space: Use only as many rockets as necessary, make sure it's safe as possible, lightweight is key. Soviet philosophy to getting to space: Cram as many rocket motors in to a tube as possible, put a guy in an iron ball at the top and light the fuse. Both worked, but one was decidedly inferior and much more dangerous, even though it worked "first". Now, look at the underskirt of a Gelgoog or a Dom or the Nightingale and tell me the Zeons didn't follow the Soviet mentality of things

Iron Man 2 (Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow!)
Vostok 7 replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Saw it tonight finally. Great movie, as good as the first at least. There was some scenes/shots that were iffy but really it wasn't bad. Scarlett Johansson was HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. Definitely wasn't enough of her in the movie. The Hammeroids (lulz) were pretty cool, I hope they pump out some figures of each type because I would totally buy multiples of them. And War Machine. War Machine was pure awesomecross. All in all, good movie. Can't wait for the next one. -
Actually, if you want to get technical, the Hummingbird removes the legs (and arms IIRC) of the Zeta and replaces them with huge boosters, so really the armor and boosters aren't really that removable. 30 foot head horn? Why do Gundams need gold colored V-Fins and to be painted in Super Robot color schemes? Or giant wings made of light? The Nightingale was as fast and maneuverable as the Hi-Nu Gundam which was a much more agile-looking design, so it can't have been that bad. It was just built with the technology that Neo Zeon had available at the time. Same reason the Sazabi is relatively large and encumbered looking but was a match for the Nu Gundam, or how the original Gelgoogs and Doms looked unwieldy but got the job done. I look at the technology of Zeon as being something like the Soviets in the Cold War. Instead of light weight, they just used bigger engines. Instead of finesse, they used bigger weapons. As a result, their equipment was often outdated and unwieldy, but it got the job done and usually was as good or sometimes better than the equivalent from the West. Zeon is similar, they don't always have the latest tech but they always find a way to make up for it in some way.

Iron Man 2 (Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow!)
Vostok 7 replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, Don Cheadle is magic after all. -
What part of Gundam isn't all about excess and ridiculousness? I take it you don't care for designs like the Dendrobium or Hummingbird either, or any of the Titans Test Team prototypes for instance. Strong Nightingale DNA can even be seen in the NZ-666 Kshatriya, as well.

I'm excited for the idea of an affordable, smaller scale SDF-1 for my collection. Seems like it's roughly the size of the Macross Quarter, which is perfect for me.

To quote CF18 in the SDF thread where this first broke:
-
Next to the SDF there's also something in conspicuous Zentradi clothing, but the fists peeking out of the sleeves look very much like a Valkyrie...
-
Hmmm, could Yamato be testing the water for a series of non-transformables? Interesting, though, considering it costs as much as a normal V2 with FAST packs.

I love you, Macrossworld. Someone offhandedly mentions a price as a joke and suddenly it's set in stone that's what the price will be. You do know that companies LOVE that sort of thing, right? "Well, sir, we WERE only going to charge $100 for it, but all these geeks on this forum suggested $500!" "Make it so!"

The door is that way -----> Thanks. Anyhoo, I also wished the MG V2.0 Gundam looked like the RG version and subsequently the MG FA Gundam had the same styling as the FIX Figuration version. But oh well, we don't all get our way Anyone else think that the RG series is a HCMPro successor by the hobby division in order to compete with the Robot Damashii series? The size and detail are very similar.
