The 1/48 dx versions are the ones I really want, but my space is too limited. I don’t usually buy the Robotech stuff if ever, but I do keep an eye on things to see if they can ever compete with the Japanese releases.

I think it’ll probably be good. So far the only one that was hard to like was Wandavision. Moon knight had it’s ups and downs, but that one was pretty good overall.

🙂 Not bad, CGI needs improvment . 

She does seem very cartoony to the live action cast. Looks fun though and I’m probably more excited to see the hulk in something again. Poor guy is always a sidekick these days and could really use a solo film. Now that he isn’t such a threat you’d think he’d try to get back with the old girlfriend even if that was from a different actors movie

Why get this if you already have the HMR?

In the Regult's case you get a cockpit fitting pilot. What is special here?

I’m not into these myself and also agree about the hmr being better, but some people like the line and the scale. They oddly enough might have a better chance of putting out the oddball entries Bandai and Arcadia haven’t

They could do another story about a Predator doing his thing on the North American east coast taking out a number of Europeans settling on a certain island in what will become N. Carolina. Mystery solved! 😜

I was just watching buzzfeed unsolved in the background a week or two ago and they had an episode about that island. I miss those guys. I like the true crime stuff better than the supernatural though

For a moment, I thought you said elmo fan:

Due to the time line of when Macross takes place it is a possibility that he was an Elmo fan at some point

Kinda wonder if this is going to be a female Predator hunting these female warriors. Seems the PC thing to do.

I thought that the one with the makeup was a guy.

You can even look to those rare examples where money was spent producing a film (or series) without a human protagonist -- The Dark Crystal, for instance -- and in every instance, they've been tremendous commercial failures. 😔

Dark Crystal had other issues that didn’t work out for it’s favor. My daughter and I absolutely love it and a lot of fans do as well, but the non fans always say the puppets are creepy. It’s an unfortunate opinion that a majority seem to have .

i think a non human story usually works better in kids movies though rather than trying for an r rated action film. And this film seems to be going low budget as well. No guns and hardly a costume either. They don’t seem to have the budget to do a large amount of cg aliens

I agree. Hair tends to come out smooth anyway and can be easily sanded. Shorter arms? I see what you're saying, I'll see what I can do, but no guarantees.

As long as he ends up looking more like an  E.L.O. fan than an EMO fan

i know it’s a stupid joke

Not sure if it follows the idea that the predators had to adapt their weapons and gear to the advances their prey made over time. Will this predator be a bit more low tech? And will this predator actually be able to completely close it’s mouth unlike most of the later ones?

Yuu and hime Pravin powered kits are up for preorder and looking good. I may pick up both, but definitely yuu

As far as the stupidly named bioroid terminator, I would love a great new action figure of him. I don’t have any idea what they were called in the original souther cross series, but in the one or two episodes with them, like most of the personal armors, I loved the design. On an odd note, how do they sit with that giant beetle butt?

Looks really nice

The wifey pays for Peacock so I guess we're good when we start watching Yellowstone. I hear it's great.

I started watching it. Seems like The Kids In The Hall to me (a good thing). I love how they even took a poke at Amazon by saying it was making a deal with the Devil. They were always edgy. Love it.

The opening theme song zapped me back in time.........HARD. The 90's we're great.

Yeah, that theme really hit home. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.

I was absolutely dying of laughter with that post apocalyptic dj, stuck playing Brand New Key over and over with that absolutely horrific look of boredom and a mix of fear. That stupid song got stuck in my head all day afterwards 

I tried out the pentaverate and it’s very almost good at times. It tries and really is kinda dull. 
also been watching Kids in the Hall. Definitely still funny and has that weird creepy humor at times that made the old episodes great. They do play off the getting older thing well and now that they don’t have to worry about censorship the jokes are more pervy. Be warned, lots of dong. Although if you’re into that then I guess it’s a bonus

Well, that's not their fault: it's the animators IMO. And frankly, having to get all three is a PITA when money's an issue.

It doesn’t make that much of a difference if you think about display value. Here’s an affordable kit in all three modes possibly for a great looking display versus the previous parts formers where you had to buy four of the kits to make three models. And a transforming vf-1 would probably be more like perfect grade price in a larger scale and then multiply that times three if you want separate displays

IMHO for the price I prefer the Hasewaga 1/48 version. At the moment $29 in www.hlj.com vs $35 for the new plamax 1/72 version. It is a no no for me

The deciding factor for me is gonna be if they do the other modes. I do think it’s a nice looking fighter and the simple build is definitely tempting, but I’m waiting to see if they do a great battroid and gerwalk. If they do those and do them well, I’ll definitely pick them up

That gold has a weird mixed look. Almost like they plated some and other parts are just a cheap looking swirly gold plastic. Maybe it’ll look ok panel lined and weathered. The movement gimmicks are neat looking 

Every time I see that scene, I hope he did a really thorough job cleaning that watch before giving it to that kid.

Can’t wait to hear him in dune

How is my Max looking? Any proportions out of wack? Seems to be a common mistake.

 

Maybe smoother hair and slightly shorter arms. Looking good so far though

As far as Netflix, they definitely still are the biggest of the streaming services even after the amount of recent cancelled subscriptions. The thing they need are better written shows and some recent films for the price. The films are theatre rejects and the majority of the shows are trash. They still have stranger things and a few other shows that haven’t ended, but even the existing ones like the Witcher kinda feel like they had just had a visit to the vet and are currently wearing the cone of shame. They really need some good quality ideas to justify that price hike. HBO max on the other hand has some really high quality stuff and real movies being added regularly and D + has the geeks and kids covered. Netflix needs some real winners and I don’t have my hopes too high for resident evil, but if everyone says it’s actually good, I’ll check it out

I still need to watch season 2

Any movie with Walken talken, I’m listenin and unintentionally laughin

I kinda wish that that heavy gear thing ended up a bit bigger. The game wasn’t bad and the show wasn’t bad, just wish it got more of a chance and kinda liked the designs as well

So the "stealth" part happens because you end up leading the target far too much because it looks like it is going way faster than it is and thus end up missing?

The stealth ones are black, so you accidentally shoot it’s shadow
