They really are. I’m probably gonna hold off on a Max blue just because I have a feeling they’re gonna reuse this mold and add new decals and a Max figure to go with it.

She’s already preordered, no questions
-
I know it’s more for the kids, but I really liked the first one. I’ll probably have to check it out

I kinda prefer the beakies to the snubbies personally. It might just be that I’m old, but those were the guys on all the boxes and posters and magazines when I was playing. The pointy face was iconic and then to smoosh it flat kinda felt a little like blasphemy. It took a long while for me to get used to how they appear these days.

I don’t feel bad for that person. At least he’s got the packaging. I really don’t think it would have been much of a collector ms item anyway. Nobody has really heard of that toy company. He’ll probably get his money back as long as he knows the right person to buy it
-
Quite a few lately
-
I wouldn’t say never. Some of these companies doing the Robotech branding are definitely running thin on vf-1 variants and reissues. There’s been a few Mospeada items lately and they may have to get creative and finally roll out some southern cross items at some point.
-
Probably true, unfortunately
-
I doubt that the Gnerl would end up hmr. It would be cool, but so far all the offerings ar articulated mecha
-
I miss the Troma movies. I guess that’s why Psycho Goreman was one of my favorite recent movies
-
Yeah, I got a couple a while back when ISAGS had one of their joy toy sales. They’re a bit harder to find these days though, but they’re probably going to do a variant at some point. Or you may luck out somewhere

Questioning technology in these super long chaotic anime shows will just hurt your head. It’s like the world of Dragon ball has the most high tech inventions In little capsules, but only one city in that world is more than a run down farming town. Or there’s the occasional tech in Naruto, but every one relies on the Naruto run to get any where, or that they have stylish clothing, but all wear the same open toed combat boots. I just think we’re not supposed to question it and just go with the flow or ignore the shows altogether

I haven’t tried it yet, but like you I’ll probably at least think it’s better than the horrible anime, and maybe I might actually like it. I have a buddy at work that hates the anime even more and said he’s gonna give this a watch, so I’m curious about his reaction to it

I’d agree with that, but they tend to break those rules in Star Wars often. The pilots had black armor so they’d camouflage in space to prevent rescue. And there’s the later Shore Troopers with tan, and even the later scouts have white bikes instead of brown as kind of a back and forth with the rules for the empire’s armor. As far a the fascist symbolism, the world in southern cross seems a bit of a military rule kinda world. Even the police have armor and military weapons. The back story never did get fleshed out enough, but there does seem to be a lot of that just because we’re human, doesn’t make us all good guys kinda thing from all anime at the time. They just seem very lax on training. It’s almost as if they needed a military to progress technology. Kinda like the government said they needed to advance technology to avoid just being a bunch of farming colonists forever. Possibly an idea taken from Votoms, but in a rushed less entertaining way.

I don’t think the center is supposed to be clear, but it’s interesting that they gave the option. The hasegawa has a grey piece and if I’m not mistaken the alternate color has it white in the show after looking around, the white may have been box art, I couldn’t find too many images on a quick search.
-
To me the reason doesn’t matter. I love the armor and it’s the best part of the show. The mecha is ok to me, but the armor designs are what caught my imagination as a kid and still look cool to me now.
-
Ther sure is a surprising amount of merch for the live action One Piece
-
I really would hope they aren’t just teasing us there for no reason. I’d definitely buy a couple. They’d probably be really easy builds
-
I kinda get that symbolism, but a scout should probably blend in, but I still think they look cool in white. Their bike blends in fairly well on Endor, but in the Mandalorian even the bikes were white. It’s almost as if they understood camouflage but didn’t at the same time. Well that’s sci-fi and that’s why I tend to forgive it.

Saw this oddball at usags

I liked the first Captain Marvel movie, but it definitely wasn’t the best of the mcu. This one as you said isn’t getting the talk the first film did at all. I like the other characters, but just like you said, almost nobody has an attachment to them. With the lack of advertising, I get the feeling that everyone including the mouse has doubts for its success. Hopefully the movie ends up far better than it appears, since they were supposed to be adding in Rogue if I remember correctly as well as finally giving more than a hint about mutants this time around. I’m almost having doubts about Rogue even being in this thing anymore. I don’t remember seeing any ads with her. oddly, from the last line in most of the ads , I’d almost expect a Six Million Dollar man cameo

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!

Reminds me of one of those Galactickraken videos -
I keep forgetting this movie is coming out. If this little update here didn’t show I mnot have be aware. There seems to be very little advertising for it in comparison to the other mcu films.

sounds about as good as the anime
-
It’s really just the rule of cool in sci fi. Why make a stormtrooper bright white? Or even worse, why make the scout troopers that mostly are trying to stay hidden bright white. It’s because they’re a fictional military and sometimes the colors or bling are for symbolism or status rather than for function
