Agreed, at that price I'd grab one... at this price? No... maybe just for anymoon purposes.
-
I'm not looking at the line art at the moment but it sure looks busy.
-
I think WonderFest is this upcoming weekend so we should get lots of questions answered.

Going to that website opens a big warning "This site contains malware." Oops!
-
Really need that scout then.
-
So you can buy it today. That was quick to release.

Man... how many regults do I need? I currently have 2.

Finally got to watch Macross Zero!!!!
jenius replied to Valkyrie Griffon's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah... the SDF-1 crashing and uniting humanity is from Robotech, not Macross. I have a few problems with Zero. Did the episode count get changed during production? One of my bigger problems is the pacing of the last couple episodes. IIRC, there's a fairly significant jump between episode 4 and 5. My biggest issues stem around the flying rocks... just never liked how all that go handled. -
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
jenius replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't get out to too many movies these days but I saw it and here's my review: It's not a great film but it's not bad either. The world building is awesome as are the visuals. Character design is amazing and there are some really unique and fun aliens and alien interactions.The interdimensional bits are fun and very creative. The environments are beautiful. There is a ham-fisted bit of narration at one point in order to describe the city. Like literally "Computer, tell me about the city" and then you get a couple minutes of a computer describing the sections of the city. It felt very forced for the viewer's sake. The plot is overly simple and there's no real twists as everything is pretty obviously telegraphed. Things that look like bad guys are bad guys. People who at first blush seem like bad guys are bad guys. Things that seem suspicious are definitely going to play into the trap and the trap is obviously a trap. Since it's so obvious where everything is going there's less drama to the large action sequences. I think the biggest sin though are the protagonists and I'm not sure if it was how they were written or acted. The male lead seems like he's supposed to be some sort of kick butt hero type but he just never SEEMED to be. He's a playboy? Really? I think for his character the problem is both casting and writing. The romance is never anything more than awkward and at the end makes no sense. The film honestly feels like it would have worked better with two competing super hero types rather than a simpy guy begging a girl to marry him (or maybe an Ash type doing the "you know you want to kiss me" routine). If the other characters played up Valerian being a super soldier more then they also could have played up Laureline's always taking a back seat to him as more of an issue. There are a few scenes that seem like they would have worked much better if the protagonists were reversed. The girl seems stilted for the most part rather than sassy. Bubble comes too far too fast. Now on to the nitpicks! -
That sounds like a perspective issue... we will need more pics.
-
Nah, they got it:
-
things that sell out are likely qc rejects though right?
-
No scout? C'mon scout!
-
Thanks for dropping in and clarifying.
-
Maybe Ben Dixon is the next Loot Crate exclusive... makes more sense than a "special ops" version.
-
90cm tall! But that should get its own thread when the time comes.
-
Oh man, head back a page for all the back and forth on director count.

1/48 MOSPEADA INBIT KIT REVIVAL?
jenius replied to captain america's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I would opt for matte since that's the way most toys and models head these days. Colors do look great! -
They are definitely hoping to do a true VF1 so that's pretty cool. I think the biggest difference in the F14 will be the box and the inclusion of a stand. The paint difference might require having both right next to each other to tell the difference.

Trying to rush it out to beat KitzConcept to the punch!
-
I'm here as the regular folk because I was able to grab tickets. If there's ever a year I want to go and can't get tickets I'll try the media route.
-
That's just art someone did imagining a live action film.
-
At the Robotech panel they did show a picture of the Max figure but no pictures of a different cockpit. They said the cockpit is sold out but stay tuned for more announcements. The pilot seat is removable from cockpit and there is a separate sitting figure for the cockpit.

I didn't see Kids Logic at SDCC at all so no Cyclone statue. I didn't see KitzConcept either.

You can find my photos up here: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=9672 Warning, I didn't shrink 'em down at all.
