    Maybe try an abs glue like plastruct

    Pretty much. I’ve been super excited since the first teaser popped up last month. Two of my old favorites are getting resurrected in the same year with Futurama also making a comeback.

    I have to agree here. Cinematically should be more of a part of the final trailer

    I think it’s the alien ships that looked familiar to me

    Didn’t they already show those images a while back? I could swear I’ve already seen them, but can’t remember where.

    I honestly never use step 4. Unless there’s something I really need to cut away or quickly scribe, I stay away from blades. I usually just use the clippers and get a starter cut and then trim as close to possible after the part is away from the srprue. Then lightly sand or file the leftover away. Most modern kits are a bit easier to clean up than older kits and seem to have a thinner bit of plastic connecting the plastic to the sprue and feel a little easier to deal with. my favorite file I have is actually a cheap glass file that’s meant for nails. It makes quick work of nubs and stuff and doesn’t scratch like metal ones. as far as step 5and 6 some of the cheap sanding sponges have high grit and polishing sections on the same sponge and surprisingly those get it right back to a plastic look with little fuss. I do use the finger nail press on miscolored areas where the nubs may have been. A little pressure and often it’s hard or impossible to tell it was even there to begin with. That’s one of those tips that people usually don’t mention i really think step 7 here is the most important . That’s the biggest reason to get into the hobby. You don’t have to be a pro and you don’t need a high budget just have fun and once everything is done you’ll end up with something that will give you a sense of pride over the completed project.

    It kinda fits his character though

    Maybe it’s just their equivalent of truck nuts

    It made it sound like they just got out of the cars, I’m pretty sure they will have a lot of car combat and still plenty of things that can go wrong, but I still wanna see it

    I know amazon had a few cheap starter sets that had things like nippers and sanding sticks, but you’d have to search. The common glue I’d recommend would be tamiya extra thin, since it’s pretty easy to find at most hobby shops and amazon. There’s also starter sets for gundam markers, since as a beginner that may be pretty simple for touch ups. Most items are probably easy to find on amazon or basic hobby sites you may not need the glue or really much more than something to trim out the parts. I’ve used small nail clippers back in the day.

    Have you had any experience with model kits? if you’re not a kit builder, these aren’t complicated anyway. You can get away with using things you already have like if you don’t have nippers, use a nail clipper and as a bonus some cheap nail clippers already have a file to rub down the nubs left behind if you don’t have sand paper. I do recommend some simple items like nippers or a sanding sponge and maybe a black gundam panel line marker or even a basic gundam marker set. Maybe a thin styrene glue like tamiya extra thin. Those are pretty much all you would really need if you just want to snap it out and display it. I don’t really know if there’s gonna be any need for color correcting of any parts, but they usually keep that to a minimum. I really won’t know until the kit comes out. But I wouldn’t let anything scare you off. Just keep in mind that even though the age ranges are for adults on the box, they make these things for kids in mind. There of course will be room for a more experienced builder to do things like remove seam lines and paint or customize, but that’s always optional as to how far you want to take things.

    That Blue Beetle is looking pretty good

    Probably Leeroy Jenkins or that MR T character

    i figured there’d be option sets coming, but it unfortunately doesn’t look like extra hands are included in these option packs

    I guess they didn’t wanna get sued by power rangers. But this actually makes it more relevant. I loved that show No he graduated, so now he’s gonna tell that to everyone

    There’s a shampoo for that

    Reminds me of that Keye and Peele skit about the Black Ranger

    The faces are so bad on these.

    I was checking the wave version of the rerelease since it’s a good amount cheaper than the Orange Cat initial release at bbts and wanted to see if it still had the extras. I might be wrong, but I don’t see the decals or stand included with the wave rerelease. I think I’ll keep my preorder that I put in back in March since this release might not have those items. I did see that wave is offering a stand that looks like the one included with the initial release, but as a separate purchase, but I don’t see anything about the decals as an extra purchase.

    I didn’t really care much for the original. I think the premise seemed so ridiculous that I couldn’t get into the movie. The acting wasn’t bad and most of the story could’ve been interesting, but the idea just lost me

    The animation style looks modern like the wannabe anime style like totally spies or avatar, but the color reminds me of the old Superman cartoon from Max Fleischer.
  22. Big s
    Same here.

    Rip cord seems like an odd choice. Does he just climb out and jump? And then you got him paired up with a guy that rather than wearing a helmet, decided that cowboy hat was fine. It’s like rip cord was so afraid of how wild bill flies that he had to put on every bit of safety gear on, either that or Wild Bill smokes so much that rip cord needed the extra breathing equipment and when he can’t take it anymore he’s outta there. Honestly now that I think of it, I remember this casino that we stopped by that still allowed smoking indoors and I get how someone might just wanna bail

    Cobra!, I mean Yo Joe! Honestly the original should have been cobra.

    The damsel in distress was a tired idea, but the replacement idea is just as bad. Wendy takes on the action in Peter Pan or Ariel kills Ursula in the remakes, or as far as the marvel stuff there little girl iron man or teen girl Hawkeye and She Hulk that’s supposedly stronger than her seemingly dumb cousin Hulk. And then there curmudgeonous Willow with every character getting replaced by their daughter or the new Indy having to deal with Flea bag and not to forget that Rey is taking the mantle as The Jedi because luke belonged in a retirement home. there are other film and tv shows doing this, but they’re not running it into the ground as bad as Disney
