    My problem with seed designs is that they looked fairly new in the original series, but eventually it just started looking more like build fighters versions of mobile suit designs.

    It’s probably just due to it being seed related. It’s kinda tough to get excited for it

    There’s also a few little model kits

    She’s got handle bars for both ends

    Actually after looking at the parts, they just recolored the yellow plastic to a tan grey and the blue to a basic grey. Other parts got changed to a darker grey, but it appears as though he didn’t even need to replace decals. The kit itself has a lot of that yellow color separated. It’s a simple color swap, but looks really great

    Hopefully you’re prostate exam doesn’t turn out like the famous Brock Samson “I’d kill for a cigarette” scene

    some of the max factory kits have pretty cool soldiers and characters. But maybe some 1/72 Vietnam era troops could work well for stand ins. Might just have to modify the helmets and the equipment a little

    I’m hoping that Bandai gets to the 11 either as hmr or a hg kit. I’d love the armor pack as well

    It’s definitely a bit more complicated than the og Gundam. They had a good bit of growing up story wise after finishing what most call the first real robot series and it shows. Definitely more real and less of the super robot thing going on. The new Max Factory kits are pretty great and the figures that come with them have great detail for the size. They’re not quite as articulate as the average Gundam kit and do require a little more work, but totally worth the work

    Back to the days when Robin had a happy childhood. He got to replace his parents with a rich one and gets to beat people up and everyone is ok with that and occasionally gets to drive fancy super vehicles

    Nice work on the paint and markings

    I love bad Chuck Norris jokes

    Jets look great on the ground with all the stuff open and details exposed, but the dioramas and set ups that I get excited for are the in flight ones. I love seeing the pilots through the canopy. Car modelers love to show off the hood up with all the engine detail, but maybe I’m just a simple person because my attention always goes to that one dude that didn’t care about adding extra details to the engine that weren’t in the kit, but to that guy that somehow found a figure of a driver and made it appear as though the car was speeding down the road. Give me a little action over extreme details and I’m happy. My usual rant is that companies sometimes decide not to include a simple set of waterslide decals or a good set of hands with sci fi kits. Bandai is often guilty of these crimes and will put out a kit that doesn’t have the basic emblem as a waterslide decal and often just throws in the J.O. hands.

    We watched this show a couple weeks ago. It definitely has its moments, but it felt a little like certain story and character elements could’ve used some work. Overall, it’s not bad and I’ve been craving churros ever since

    I think you also have to think about it in terms of when the original came out. I’d definitely watch a bad episode over most shows that were on back in the day and especially when the show was in syndication. The show had the best looking effects that rivaled movies at the time and a killer soundtrack that sticks in your head that was a big part of great television at the time. I remember often sitting for reruns of it on a block that also would play Buck Rogers back to back and that was a great mix of sound action and great effects. I think the other option was the news or a court show and I’d watch either of those cool sci-fi shows over the other dull options. I’d definitely watch the og show over the remake. Although I am curious about this new reboot. Hopefully they do better looking effects seeing as how it’s been 20 years since the last version. And if it’s a lot closer to the original show, I’d be a lot more interested in the project

    Because they’re hoping for the fandom to be a help boost audience numbers. I’d rather see something new as well if they’re gonna basically change almost everything about it, kinda like with Halo. But they’re afraid to put something out that has no existing franchise.

    Oddly, Apollo in the og show was more feminine than Lucy Lawless

    You’ve just described every one of his films that I’ve seen

    It’s been coming sooon everywhere for the last year or so

    I haven’t seen it. The guy that makes it basically does every movie in an odd quirky way and I’ve always finished them not knowing if I liked the movie or not. So I kinda skipped this one waiting to see if anyone had a different opinion, but most people just haven’t seen it

    I never really cared for the last reboot. It’s probably because I used to watch the old version so much as a kid and would love to sit down for after school meals while it was in syndication. The reboot just seemed a bit too much, they also took every body’s favorite character and turned him into a her and I wasn’t really into the humanization of the cylons either. I probably would have liked it if I hadn’t grown up with the original series though. Hopefully this is a reboot that is closer to the older show and has better looking effects

    I’m ok with them taking a little time between releases. That way maybe I can get through my backlog a bit and give them time to get things right. I had a question for anyone here about the gunpod color. Bandai seems to make them greyish or blue grey, but almost all the toys before this year have had them in the same darker blue as the body. I tried doing a quick google search and at best I get black and white line art . Even the clips I searched on YouTube didn’t seem to show the gunpod. Or didn’t show them well enough to tell the color. I haven’t busted out the dvd to check yet though, but I still have those boxed away for now.

    I think the brown would actually look great since it’s gonna be almost white. The black would be a bit dark and kinda gives a more obvious “I preshaded it” kinda look, where the warmer brown could give it a more subtle yet still noticeable look

    At this point, I don’t even know how to spell her name anymore. Robotech has it as Mirya, most of the translations til recently had it either as Milia or Millia, and most of the recent Hasegawa models have it as Miria

    I miss those lava pies. I hear rumor that there’s still a McDonald’s somewhere on the Hawaiian islands that still serves them. I’ve also heard that Jolie bee serves a mango flavored one that is fried and other than the filling still tastes like the old McDonald’s ones. Unfortunately, I don’t live very close to either so I guess I might have to settle with Madame Web. But I’ll probably just skip it
