    This guy has some serious sculpting talent. It has the basic silhouette, but just about everything is completely redone

    Yes, unfortunately. People only have a certain amount of money. They can either do a simple nostalgia style toy for cheap and have a chance at a profit, or produce a really cool toy that costs more to make and sell that sends them into bankruptcy. There’s only a handful of consumers that even remember V at this point and even fewer of those that would ever care that there’s a toy, so they produced something cheap and easy.

    V was great,

    I kinda meant between rebel factions since that’s what the alliance was made up of rather than just bringing back the same enemy again

    Yeah, Robotech only kept going until things just would’ve ended up in the Stone Age. Rick Hunter would’ve actually been a hunter wearing a fur outfit riding a woolly Mammoth

    I agree for the most part here. I do think there could be room for some type of reboot that doesn’t use the original anime and actually becomes its own thing. But they don’t have the money or power to do that.

    I think it still comes down to funding. Animation these days seems almost more difficult to get a green light than live action. And to get the recognition for a new animation there has to be some kind of major interest or a larger company backing the project. He Man and Transformers still get stuff made because of larger toy companies. Robotech really only has a couple of small Indy companies making the toys and they’re not really something you see in a store. Macross on the other hand has most of their stuff made by Japanese companies like Bandai that kind of expect a new series to bring in more toy and model interest. It also helps that a good portion of the Macross franchise is now available for streaming in multiple countries. I can easily find a model kit of Mirya’s VF-22 from Macross 7 in American hobby shops, while a toy of a Rick hunter VF-1j for Robotech is pretty much non existent outside of collectors shows. It’s really surprising since Macross 7 was the oddball for a while that most American viewers hadn’t seen compared to the original Macross or its Robotech adaptation. But that is all probably due to the backing of not only Bandai, but Disney as well.

    Yeah, they could easily have done a civil war or even introduced a new enemy rather than recycling the same bad guys over again

    I guess the title explains the white face makeup and the painted nails. At least it’s not as depressing as Battletech emo

    I barely got into the whole switch thing. So I’m ok with waiting. Besides, I guess Assault suit Leynos 2 is now available , so I’m gonna probably play the heck out of it.

    She’s kinda one of those characters that seems ok until they get further into the story and you realize that Disney likes the idea of an incompetent generation, so that they can try and have their new heroes. They basically 💩ed on every major character from the original trilogy and a few lesser characters just too spread the💩around. Unfortunately that’s the usual cookie cutter treatment for every franchise that Disney touches
  12. Big s
    That’s true. Amazon somehow ruined Lord of the Rings. But Disney somehow killed Indy, Star Wars, Marvel, Lucas film in general and even their own original stuff.

    I think I stopped enjoying rewatching Star Trek stuff after DS9 and I used to enjoy rewatching Star Wars OG films even after the Disney purchase, but I haven’t done a rewatch after all the shows kinda turned mostly into flops. And now that I think of it, I don’t really rewatch the marvel stuff anymore more either, especially after the legacy of most of the characters seemed ruined for the most part. Might still rewatch The Guardians of the Galaxy films though. Even spider man doesn’t really make me excited much anymore, after a second viewing of No Way Home (the movie that gets worse every rewatch). I think the multiverse ruined those films. Never really cared for the DC stuff anymore, but I’d probably still enjoy a rewatch of The Suicide Squad, but I don’t know how I’ll feel after the reboot films start coming out
  14. Big s
    I think that’s why I keep putting it off. Everything is split in half on that thing
  15. Big s
    I have one that’s been in my stash for a few years. I still tell myself I’ll build it someday
  16. Big s
    Finishing this season of Invincible and doing some work on the yard, gonna make dinner in a bit.
  17. Big s
    That might be true. Most of these slasher flicks are easily forgotten, while a lot of talk focuses on how bad a semi live action remake like Snow White can be. It may actually sour people from even wanting to rewatch the original as a side effect
  18. Big s
    And another one of these cheap horror films.
  19. Big s
    If I remember, they were non scale. Maybe they’re have given it one though
  20. Big s
    Is this the Wave kit with added articulation? Looks really cool
  21. Big s
    I love a good bad troma movie
  22. Big s
    Is that show still going? I remember seeing that on one of those pbs type stations way back in the 90’s
  23. Big s
    Late 90’s, every house hold or apartment or cramped for seemed to have one. They were so small that they were given out often as Christmas and birthday gifts regularly for a few years.

    Yes, all moderoids are model kits. Moderoid does some really great stuff. I’m pretty sure it is transformable, but probably a lot more partsforming for simplicity and looks. I think it’s looking great and hope they do a lot with the franchise. They’ve done a lot of items from Patlabor and other cool anime and sci fi, so I kinda doubt this is a one and done item
  25. Big s
    Might check it out, looks fun. Also nice to see Spawn and hear that gravelly voice
