BYG-DAMN

Right now I'm getting the JP version, it had better be dark and glossy like all the pics I've seen. I mean this has got to be the US release or something, it looks awful with that pale blue. If thats the US final then to hell with US versions entirely.

Yoda flying around in his fight is retarded, that could been handled better without the stupid stunts and theatrics, he could stayed on his feet and been a master. Now he's a green goober. I'm curious to see the rest of the cast's hair. If they are truly going to bridge teh gap with 70's style I can't wait to see Mace Windu...

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Street Fighter when this was announced. Sure it could be done all dark, with lots of depth to the characters, hidden agendas or motivation. But thats not what will happen. They are going to look at the old 80's cartoon and try and figure out how they can turn that into something that appeals to multiple demographics. So the movie will be an action film/love story/drama disaster. If Michael Biehn was in it, ( thats the guy from aliens right?) he's older now but still a cool dude to have in the flick, that make it more watchable. I bet the first thing the studios slash are those fantastic fantasy weapons of cobra, like the giant helecopter base, snakehead submarines, and gothic mountain hide out. They will want to make it believable, like X-men, so Cobra will be a secret lab in a higihschool developing chemical weapons or something.

Knowing Hollywood they will want Snakeeyes to talk, he's the most popular character and you can't put a big name actor in a mask and have him never speak. Thats why most of the X-men characters that should have masks or helmits don't because the actors need their faces shown. All they need to do is get a good stunt man to play him. But the whole concept of a non talking masked man being popular is beyond Hollywood's comprehension. Thats what worries me. In fact the whole movie idea worries me. The chances of it being any good are really slim. Most of these licensed typed movies end up sucking. I know w all have visions of what it could be, but we will have to hope and pray that something cool will come to life. As for casting, man, This movie doesn't need big names to muck up the works, it already has big names...The characters. Show me some actors, I mean good actors. When you start getting all these names invovled they start sucking the budget into their wallets. I'd rathers see good no-names fight hordes of cobras, than a few guys fight a few other guys.

I have just about all the Exosquad toys too. I loved te E-frames, they wee great designs with lots of gimmicks, and the jump troopers were good too. I like the show, people died all the time in it, it was pretty violent for a kids show, it could have been a TV show if a network would pay the budget. Everybody had issues, no character was just a drawing. That made the toys that much cooler to collect.

Its a mixed bag baby! You got some crud, some crap, a few turds, and a few jewels that don't even look like they belong in the line. Power Rangers Prime is really awful, I mean thats not even prime, if they repainted him as scourge and made his cars stunticons, well there is a start. Scorponok is total ass, his design and colors piss all over the legacy of the original. Orson wipes his ass with Black Zarak, the bastard! A lot of the Combiners combine into garbage, Hot shot sucks, Inferno sucks, unless there are more joints the combos look really stiff, anybody remember JRX? Wow, where did that designer go? Jetfire and and Iron hid work together a little better, too bad Ironhide is a Tonka toy and Jetfire is a mystery WTF? that has wings. You can call that a shuttle, I call it SOS with wings. Unicron could have worked in black and gold, but form some reason he has a mish mash of colors all over ther place. Starscream and Skyblast seem to be the only thing working. Tidal wave ain't all that bad, but come on, repaints are going to kill the brand.

Nedesico died the moment that insane guy was killed off in Vol 1, the guy that was obsessed with Gekiganger. That guy was out of his mind, and I loved every moment of it, but when he died, so did my interest. By the second vol I was pretty bored.

There should be a park with 1/1 scale Zoids in it so the true scale of those things could be realised. I like starship troopers too, the whole movie is insane.

Proscuiting a few hundred people, hell even a few thousand won't stop teh millions out there. I mean, I met a guy once playing Xbox at TRU who causally boasted of having an archive of well over 10 thosand MP3s, thats one guy. They can't stop the river now, a lot people I know are going to lay low and wait for new software to appear that can't be tracked. Besides, with all their legal action that is big publicity, there are still bootlegs on the streets of albums and DVDs...

THey call is "Holiday edition" yet he's dressed as Santa who's kind of the rep of one religion...the public will never be pleased. He looks like an old worn out Grinch...

For some reason I had this hope it was going to be a US movie, perhaps even a Britney Spears vehicle with Alyssa Molano, Jennifrer Love Huwett, and any number of cute short girls with little talent beyond their bodies. In a big budget spectacular directed by somebody we wouldn't expect, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Its part musical too... It looks like normal Cosplay pics to me, I know there are better wigs out there than those. You mean to tell me there is not a caucasion actress out there that can't speak Japanese? Since when is Abombz a girl anyway?

The G1 game thats going to come out JP is the bomb, I can't say I care at all about this Armada stuff. Graphics are one thing, show me good game play. Vice City isn't then be all of graphics but its hella fun to play.

I'm holding out for the Sandles with V fin toe straps. Or the Zaku eye flashlight, the Char's version with command fin. Gogg, Salad tongs, you know, I'm waiting for the good stuff to be made, the kind of crap I can resell for 25 cents.

That whole comic was pretty funny, a couple parts made me LOL. Orson, that guy should no by now that kids arn't stupid. If E Prime sucks, he sucks, only little playskool kids won't recognize the hair curlers.

I watched it today, it was interesting...I like the Zakus, they are kind of funny. The animation is pretty fantastic to some degree, and awful at other times. I can't stand the kids. No gundam should have a mouth... It was a crack show for the most part, just like how Hamtaro is a crack show. Its okay but not worth a second viewing, I guess I'm finally out of touch with todays kids.

I hear its really nice. Not toy at all, HG-EX style, like a super big HG kit with extra detail. Now normally, I'd say, go get that sucker, because it should be then end all be all of that design. however, with Bandai suddenly making a MG of the Strike, I wouldn't rule out a MG of the Freedom, even at 1/100 scale a MG will probably beat the 1/60 hands down. Unless you want it because its really big. Even so, in the back of my mind, a big red flag has gone up, because if Bandai can turn around and make a MG of such a recently issued kit, then they could do a small PG of one too. I worry that there will be a PG Freedom far too soon, I'm willing to wait and see what happens.

Thats a lot of stuff for a PG kit. I don't know if I'd even build the scaffolding. Stuff like that takes up a lot space and right now thats at a premium. Its probably keeping with tradition like the HGUC Dendrobium, a huge instillation piece. But for the price, man, its a deal. Course you'd have to buy two to have them both displayed at the same time. I favor the grond version. Looks kind of squat, but so did the MK-II Gundam when we first saw pics of that, so I think it will be fine.

A MG? Man what a screw job to those of us who bought the 1/100 HG kits. I can expect a full internal frame G gundam style that will make the HG look like a POS. Wll I get this, dammit, I just bought the Freedom HG, maybe in a year.

Thats funny as S man, Hot shot sucks so bad.

That is going to be nice PG kit. With each evolution the series has gotten better and better. Finally another core fighter! I just hope it has strong ankles because the MK-II didn't and they tended to give way after a while.

I think that Masterpiece Prime is all Takara. The people who are running the show for the Alternators are the guys doing the comic books. Its not that hard to get a pic of real car and say lets trn this into something that looks like G1 bluestreak, and then you do the art. The concept is so simple it could have been done years ago. Update Prime, and oh lets throw in the Megatron gun that came with that Prime action figure from 2 yrs ago. Yeah right, I bet archer had them do that, the fat bastard. Archer is to blame for so many repaints flying around, he's making a big mistake, he's saturating the market and deluting demand with all these turn-offs. Its all going to come back and bite him in the ass. And I'm sure th truth will be told from Takara one day about the way things really went down. As for now, Archer needs to be replaced, just let comicbook artists do all the new concepts, they did a pretty good job with War Within already.

FPS is ass. Its good for a lot of things, but this should have been done Drand theft Auto style. Ground combat where you run over to a bike that can turn into a jet pack. That would of been cool. Maybe we can toggle out of FPS, I mean how the hell is one guy supposed to fight those invid without ride armor anyway?

I preordered that sucka a month ago. As soon as I saw it I knew it was a must buy, and when I read Hasbro was sucking out the metal like F'n vampires I knew I had done the right thing. I don't give a crud if I can't read any of the writing, Japanese versions always have better packaging, inserts, cataloges, paint apps and detail. Child safety laws are going to make the US version a pansey.

The screenshots of this game make BC look like a cheap puppet show. The only reason I got BC when it came out was because it was only 30 bucks at CC. But this game, if its brough over here and the game play is good, I'm all over it. BC got pretty repetitive after a while. I'm hoping Bandai wants to bring it here. Because Bandai does whatever they want, they have a team of super sentai ninja lawyers ready to assasinate HG's claims.

I predict a problem for Hasbro in the future. The same problem that gutted the comic book industry. Looking at all the repaints, and tons of crap thats coming out with only a few redeeming figures. I see the bubble bursting. People simply can't buy it all, and with so much crap on the market already there is going to be a point where people have enough and throw in the towel. Archer is a stupid numnut, the very fact that Hasbro has allowed this virtual fool to turn himself into a fan celebrity will come back to bite them on the ass when they try to get rid of him. People like him are flavor of the month, as soon as they get tired of him he's going to be sent out and new guy will come in. All the fan's backing won't save him from that fate.
