    OMFG!! I just realized they ran around naked basically all the time!! Their stupid trench coat disguise now looks totally disturbing! My inner child will need counselling. These people have addressed the problem that not even bitchy 80’s moms saw. Thanks Bay!! http://nerdreactor.com/2014/01/22/michelangelo-revealed-for-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-movie/

    LOL they are just doing things for the sake of trolling now. Considering how Hollywood works, they probably think that pissing off tf nerds was what made the movies a financial hit.

    IMO the first two movies robot designs made the toy engineers wake up try new things. They were out of their comfort zone and had to step up. The evolution from movie one toys to movie two toys was incredible. ROTF Leader Prime and the HA line were the pinnacle of that. What they learned certainly shows in the designs for the non movie lines that came. The TF Animated and the first releases of TF Prime were very satisfying to transform. They did new things and refined and made fun the tedious transformations of the alternators line. Of course, the excuse to dumb down the designs (which they have actually been doing for a time already) has more to do with saving costs. $60 for that shell former is a lot of money into the bank for Hasbro. And my main beef: WFT is up with so few paint apps???? That has zero to do with making the toys kid friendly; that is just being frakking cheap. That Optimus does not look half as painted as the box drawing of him looks. That really pissed me off as a little kid, specially with my Ninja Turtles (had to paint and mod them myself lol). Make the toy as simple as you want, but at least spend some money making all those stupid little details have the colors they should!!

    Was really wondering why HG was being such a good sport. I have a friend who works in post production and has directed a bunch of short films, all paid right out of his pocket. He got permission to adapt a story by a famous mangaka as a short. But what stated out as a great opportunity has turned into a pain in the ass. He wasn't allowed to crowdfund crap and he is full of restrictions when it comes to actually getting permission to show the finished piece Certainly not on youtube.

    Acabo de leer las noticias... me cago en HG. Sobre el proyecto en sí, a mi me gustó. Muy buena producción e increíble que hayan hecho tanto un grupo de fans. He visto series de TV de las grandes cadenas en las que se notaba más la falta de presupuesto y producción poco profesional. La pega que veo es que la historia esta basada en aspectos muy desconocidos de la saga Robotech así que es una de esas producciones que tienes que documentarte para entenderla mejor. Pero vamos, para el marco elegido funciona una vez se sabe de lo que se habla y es agradable que algo pase fuera de Nueva York.

    Just got mine. I didn't know you could get crabs from cute pink boxes!! I thought dark alleys, cheap motels and alcohol were involved!! Guess I'll need that bumper sticker EXO mentioned. Thanks Cap!

    Yep, more money for 3P. Hasbro has to cater to their bread and butter and I get that Leader ROTF Optimus is not a little kids toy, but I too felt like a lot of the TF toys I had as a kid were really simple. Didn't like my BB that much because of that. The stuff they made recently was very simple and kid friendly already. But this bit of text of the article is just horrible: My god, before the tagline for TF toys was that they helped think outside the box and promote imagination and motor skills; but now its just the next quick crack high??

    ¡Muchísimas gracias por este video! Me han gustado las opiniones y los estándares del autor a la hora de elejir aquello que puede valer la pena. Con tanta cosa es necesario que alguien te ahorre perder tiempo en posibles callejones sin salida. Tocará darle una oportunidad a Space Dandy

    I remember a rumor about UT being involved with KOs of classics seekers. Anyways, they are maturing fast. Their next project after they finish their Blaster could be really interesting. UT could also do a recolor of Maniaking. FT has done more than one version of Quakewave and now they are saying that for this year they plan “3 main release and 4 repaint”. A big goal but they believe in a market for 3P repaints. I really like the sculpt on Maniaking minus the cannon. A MP size would have won me over… but there also the heavy rumor of a Takara MP Galvatron next year.

    Preordered. Looks great.

    Nice review. Just wish the purple was better and a bit more grey for the white parts like Peaugh says. A better price and I would pick it up; It does look like fun to transform. UT have grown since their craptastic first release

    ¡Gracias! No me acordaba que esto se empezó a anunciar hace un año. Y aquí estamos, casi 365 días después y con sólo un trozo por ver.

    So whose turn will it be in Tarantino's next revenge movie? Will it be Native Americans?
  15. Twoducks
    But will the changes be enough to keep Levi still "vertically challenged" in toy form?

    That would have been handy a few months ago. Reading the manga at first was supper hard because the art style made some of the characters look alike. I even got two of them mixed up in a very important moment that made me scratch my head for a time until I got it right. BTW, looks like the Figma line has struck gold and Max Factory wants to mine every onze .

    All hail Sentinel and their awesome Riobot line!! Can't wait to get my BG.

    Because Eureka would not have its own gimmick then like the other jaegers have and because you go see Pacific Rim to see giant robots solving world problems punching them in the face of course!! For a not giant robot based defense we already have boring real life with its automatic sentry guns like that one they plan to use in the South Korea border with the North.

    Looks great so far, only thing I'm worried is the crotch. On the last pic it looked a bit diaper-ish and this photo just happens to cover that.
  20. Twoducks
    Cool pics as always Swoosh! So is M3 hitting BBTS and Toywave soon then?

    To talk about something happier: yes, there are diecast figures planned https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153404868735648&set=a.173042355647.246685.144220565647&type=1&relevant_count=1 By Play Imaginative in their "Super Alloy" line http://superalloyfigure.com/index.php These are the guys making diecast heavy Iran-man suits in 1/4, 1/6 (directly competing with Hot Toys) and 1/12 scales as well as that diecast Jim Lee style Batman. http://superalloyfigure.com/products-marvel.php#14 Videos on youtube of their DC and Marvel stuff: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=play+imaginative+review&sm=3

    Good God you can say that again! I have to display him without it. It's so big its stupid... which makes me wonder why no 3P ever did a smaller cannon and filler leg parts to make it less skinny. I'd buy that kit.
  23. Twoducks
    If anybody wants another flavour of bitching about Mania King here it is: I find the size of the cannon too kiddie toy looking. Same thing happens with Hegemon's. Wish they also included a smaller cannon on these things.
  24. Twoducks
    Totally agree. As for David, the man knows what he likes and I envy him for having such clear convictions. I would not have such an eye clutter of a collection if I had had his resolve. Plus you can learn things (I have learned a lot about colors and to respect color composition from him actually)… that said, wouldn't it be funny if he was actually color blind and was just trolling people

    So Super Girl and WW all rolled into one... maybe it is just them explaining "Greek gods" and such as Kryptonias same way as Thor in the movies is framed from the start as being alien. Then again, the idea of more than one DC hero sharing screen is rumored to be cursed.
