    Episode 4 took me a while to get through. I think I hate the characters in this show. Most of them are either bi…es or weenies. And I really hate the not hobbits. Those characters even got so annoying that they’re nothing more than gender swapped Sam and Frodo but somehow less mentally capable. Tom is the odd one in that he’s a character that most book fans had really wanted to see, but this version is kind of its own character. episode 5 is a bit better since there’s more action to distract from the stupidity. But the show at this point feels very very rushed. I think they knew they probably won’t get another season and are pushing things really quickly here. I’d still say that episode 5 is the best of the season, but still not great.

    Hi-Metal R

    I hate the face as well. I’m with you on the wait for a blueberry I used to have the big clunky Bandai 17, but i think you’re right that they haven’t done Ray’s as a transforming toy yet.

    actually a bit less than that for the preorder. The yen was a little different a couple years ago and the boxed figures were almost $40, now they’re less than $20

    It’s a similar use, but I feel like the eraser putty is a little easier to shape for tough spots

    They’re half price now. Can’t really say they’re too expensive anymore, still a little up there. Totally makes me feel like I should have waited. Oh well

    I get it from art or hobby stores like Michael’s or hobby lobby. It’s rubbery and a little sticky. It’s used primarily for shaping and precise erasing or sketch art, but found out the stuff is great for masking for models. It sticks a little and can be shaped for tight spaces or ripped apart for smaller pieces or tiny areas. It can totally be reused project after project and somehow stays sticky by rolling it back up. I’ve got the same reused clump for over a decade and recently bought some more to use in a larger project.this is the particular brand that I buy, it’s a little square for just over a dollar. It’s great stuff and well worth a purchase

    Would be interesting in a black light as well. It would definitely fit the Macross hippie vibe

    First time I can think of where an older console getting towards the end of its lifecycle cycle getting a higher price release rather than a lower discount price

    Looks like tomorrow at the U.S. site for the preorder. It lists 9/11 9pm eastern time, I think that’s 6 over here on the west coast, but my math is always a little off.a bit pricey, but I’ve wanted one for a long time, although I would’ve preferred the zeta version, this redesign looks pretty mean. Just too bad it only looks like it has one set of hands

    But that one voice is what people remember for generations past and generations to come.

    I think it works pretty well for the fold effect, but I do think other boxes have more dynamic pictures, just this one serves the purpose well for what it’s trying to convey

    Definitely getting one of these

    I don’t have pictures of the part on the regult, but I chromed it using gloss black and Mr super metallic 2 silver. I think it was the silver, it was super thinned to a 5 to 1 ratio or more of thinner to paint. It comes out as a really durable chrome effect. Then I pushed some eraser putty into the sunken parts after making sure everything was cured for a few days. Then sprayed flat black enamel over the part. The used a light bit of zippo fluid and did a wipe over the raised parts. The pulled the putty out of the sunken areas.

    I knew it had red in there somewhere. Australia has a few of these films recently with a killer Kangaroo in one or two, a couple movies about the great Emu war and a few about their infamous Drop Bears recently

    I actually like that particular Joker a lot compared to most of the figures of him.

    Did they change the title on this one? I could have sworn the preview from before was something like red or big red or something

    For me his voice was really memorable and used in more than a few places. And as a villain he was great in Star Wars and fun in Conan. From big roles to small, he had a powerful voice no matter the character. He could carry a role just by his sound alone or by his actual standing presence. He will be remembered by many generations

    It’s not an unheard of thing, but not with a band as well known as this one. Most well known replacements have stuck to the same gender, but some short stint vocalists have stepped in with bands like Soundgarden having Brandi Carlile for a few live songs, but I’m really struggling to come up with a more significant example. there was a mostly original lineup of Christian Death that had Eva O take over for Rozz Williams after many legal issues getting resolved after her husband’s passing, but it was mostly to re live their older songs rather than anything new, but their older songs were far better than when Valor hijacked the band. The new song from Linkin Park is better than their usual stuff, still wondering how bigger fans really feel about the change. I’m really an outsider looking in

    Looks nice

    Hoping it’s not a re action figure

    I’d probably be interested if it turned out to be one of their regular sized figures though

    I never liked them with the old vocals, but oddly the new singer sounds better for them. I still don’t like their songs though, but that’s definitely a decision that took some 🏀’s to even try. Replacing a singer years later after their passing is a tough thing and to do and to have the guts to change the dynamic of the vocals is definitely noteworthy. I don’t know how the fans feel about this though, but it’s kind of an improvement in my non fan opinion

    I really didn’t like the pumpkin heads on the other ones and the odd changes made to modernize them, but strangely these new ones being totally blasphemous in their IronGundamspeada Man look is awkwardly likable. They went so far beyond a basic redesign that if these were for an unrelated franchise, I’d totally be into them.

    I only check here because of time. You could never take too much of it, but if you ever did, I’d just skim to the good parts. Hope you get better and hope to see more from you. Things may turn up better than you expect one day soon when you least expect it

    I didn’t realize those were interchangeable legs at first. Kinda looked like giant poos
