its not he that they should put blame on . besides is it real or just a way to stir up the crowds?

Accurate or not this thread will probably set a speed record for being locked

very likely but if the 1/48 ve1 and vt1 and vf1d come out then

glad to hear the news . Now that its confirmed will it come with a bunch of accessories or am i going to have to buy 2 or 3 different versions? and there better not be any QC issues .

if they were selling them at that price from start ... I'd of gotten them , good catch

Hey guys, I just heard that the Dynamite Mazinger is really not the best built toy out there. Somebody on robot Japan said double sided tapes were used on the fist

yes and no. the inner body is die cast . the head shoulders and so on are all vinyl/plastic so its more of a kit. it includes double sided tape to keep the upper arms , fore-arms , thighs , and lower leg from sliding up and down. the head fits onto a ball joint and has some movement. the fists and feet also attach to a ball joint . See the pic and check post 512 of this thread I like the figure. as far as die cast content yes it doesn't have a lot. but the figure does look nice and its one i dont mind picking up on a regular bassis b/c i cant tarnish any metal and its fun to play with

for those that are interested HLJ has posted a pre-order for the next version of dynamite Gohkin Mazinger

that looks sweet.

do they really? What movies do you consider to be crap? I want to know if we're talking about the same movies. Take eragon for instance, I had the unique displeasure of watching this star wars rip off the other day, the movie barely broke even. Audiences know when they see crap, they may see it the first weekend, because it's an "event" but they won't come back the next weekend. Though, they are making a sequel. :|

Besides, let me ask again, what do you all care if they make crap movies or not? Or if people go to see it? It's not like the money that made tristan and isolde was going to go towards solving cancer or something. It's private money, and people's individual choices to go see movies that THEY like, why do you all care so much?

if they make a bad flick and it loses money great . i'd expect them not to do it again, lesson learned. however if hollywood chooses to take a reasonably good source material and turn into a lackluster film then that something that consumers shouldn't buy into. however its not like you get a refund if you don't like the movie. your money is gone and whether the film breaks even or exceeds expectations is based on word of mouth . essentially after some unlucky person has already paid their money.Oh and I don't really listen film critics i go with what i think from seeing a trailer and what my friends think of it after they've gone to see it , then i go watch.

that looks wicked

I got the getter set today and opened up the ingram 1 & 2 pretty cool figure. my friend has my camera so no pics

I really havent tested out the pose-ability of the ingram but its heavy and looks great. and nope still haven't opened the zanbot ....hold on .....well the ankles dont really move around , he can tap his foot , but ankle movement is limited. overall its a cool figure i imagine its the same as the 1st release.

not that i know what that was like

Hey Guppy & M73, does the re-issue Zambot have a better ankle design 9so it can pose better)? I heard there was an issue with the posability of the 1st release.

Guppy, surely the women can't tell the difference between a Getter and a Zambot, to them they all look red, just like the way we don't keep track of their shoes...lol....

i still havent opened them yet hopefully tomorrow i'll get a chance and post pics i wasnt aware of any issues with the ankles on these. Hmm something to look out for.

sent you a pm about some other stuff

There are still plenty of excellent, mature movies made for adults in Hollywood. The problem you guys have is that movies with aliens and lots of violence don't get rated R anymore because Hollywood has realized kids like those things too. Kids watching a movie = more money.

i understand wanting to market a movie so that the widest audience can see it and of course make the most profit

but making a "dumb" movie (arguable) doesnt guarantee profits either. so what if its pg or pg13 that doesnt make a movie good i dont remember the exact words and all but Disney recently announced that they would stop making those crappy sequels to their classics line Cinderalla 2 and Lion King 1 1/2 The originals were good and then they made the "sequels" I think the Disney rep said they were embarassing. I dont really understand why Hollywood does what it does . remember the dudley do right movie from a few years back. sometimes a cartoon should remain a cartoon even on the big screen. I cant imagine what would have happened if the Simpson's movie were turned into a live action movie. imagine mighty mouse or danger mouse as live action movies i cant. Yea Underdog and other goofy cartoons arent the best source material for a movie but that doesnt mean that their interpretation on the big screen should be worse. ok i'm done ranting about this.

just take some out and say you need to wipe them down for dust or something and then add in the new ones

i jus got the zanbot too its still boxed and I'm waiting on the getter set to arrive any day now.

if they do the gx-04 and gx-04b grendizer and the boss borot gx-10b then I'll be super happy.

man i didnt even know it was going to be available. saw it on bbts that the hyper dyanmite mazinger and scrander was on Preorder and now the preorder is sold out. i havent seen anywhere else so but i'll be on the look out for it. oh and if any body see this or the Great mazinger available somewhere let me know too.

Thanks to Skull-1 for the smooth transaction.

thanks to Dax415 for the titanium Classic Raider

hey Black Valkyrie thats a cool gallery

great poses.

I need on of those shirts. ha ha ha ha ha !

News flash! Underdog was ALWAYS bad!

The original was extra-goofy too.

Underdog was a dog in tights.

I repeat: A DOG IN TIGHTS.

Only thing I want to know is what they'll do in place of the traditional "line at the phonebooth" gag. What with the phone booth being dead and all.

yes i know it was goofy back in the day but this looks even goofier. I just don't understand this need to convert cartoon animals in to live action "heroes",

this would have been just fine as a CG movie and c'mon tights does this out fit look tight on him?

the Cure is coming. tickets went on sale this morning.

I'm going

Been there, done that, bought a t-shirt and LOVED it!!!

and i'd do it again. it was a cute movie definately worth watching.

i think it really is the only movie that i've enjoyed. (havent seen potter yet).

just got mine today . i havent opened them yet I probably wont get to until later this week

is there anything I should be carefull about? Qc issues or fragile parts?

and i finally got the SOC Zanbot man the box is huge as well as the ex chogokin getter robo 1. I wont get to open theses until later this week

anybody think that this new Underdog movie sux

yeah it hasnt come out yet but looking at the commercials

I just dont understand why this was made. that Garfield movie

with bill murray was crap. so why do it again? i used to enjou Underdog

now it looks extra goofy. I just dont get it.

as you all know they've opened up Kwiki marts across the country

My brother got me a kwiki mart slurpee styrofoam cup and buzz cola

this is really cool in an odd sort of way.

I was told that theres supposed to be on in Bladensburg MD
