    Undoubtedly Bandai takes the Engineer's Darwin award this year. It's so fail. And the beefier legs are so not worth the compromise. The backpack and skinny arms are massive steps backwards.

    There's many variations of fear, terror, scary and etc, which also depends on what switch it hits on a individual bases. Aliens went for the terror of "No where to run" instead of the "No where to hide" like in Alien. In fact, Alien is closer to the haunting genre more than horror. As a kid, Aliens however for me for was more terrifying with the constant chasing and claustrophobic environment. As for the rest, undoubtedly there was medding from procedures with the usual coked up delusional expectations with yesterday's deadlines, but still doesn't change the fact that everyone was involved once the failures were baked. All from a directing, writing and producing level to blame. I get what you saying considering how the game unfolded, but IMO games shouldn't be official prequels/sequels to movies/series. Well, they're calling it a sequel to Alien and a prequel to Aliens, but... it really is a Alien re-imagining for a new audience. Scavenger crew boards another ship where they encounter a unknown species, and each are killed off except for the female protagonist. It's all there in the trailer.

    This film is from a depleted Hollywood drudging along on fumes. The first film was a hit as it was the first grounded space horror where the audience only saw the originally designed alien at the end, and that mystery was already 70% of the ticket's sales. The second film worked as they multiplied the terror of the first filmed in a caged action film during the 80s peak of shoot and run films. The third... they tried so hard to be different in milking the cow that just dripped expired milk. Prometheus? Prequel? Reboot? Ego desperation? Writers on drugs? That finale where Charlize kept running straight all while the giant ship plummeted on her, was the perfect metaphor of this franchise's end. Covenant... Ridley's attempt to justify Prometheus's lore ended up as a limping zombie with no bite. And now this? A reimagining of the first film for the 'Tik Tok' generation... ??? Why??? We all know how the alien looks likes, how it's going to start, unfold, and how it's going to end. (PS, then there's the AVPs, B-grade fanservice.)

    When they add quotes of unknown "artsy films" inclined reviewers, they already know it's going to be DOA.

    Finished Kaiju No 8. Became too predictable and cringy towards the end...

    I wonder if a Fodder 1J is in the pipelines... (Please 3zero, only after a low-vis stealth variant!)

    Thanks for info. But meh. Easy pass for me.

    Missed opportunity for her classic design.

    Every time before clicking on this thread's update, I'm always "Vf-0A re-reelease. Vf-0A re-reelease. Vf-0A re-reelease" But alas... still nadda... 😣

    Dubbed? VPN?

    And they're not limited edition too.

    Oh...but noticed it's quite common for the commoners to do this lately...

    As I said in your original post... hard to pass on this one. Will look epic between various valks regardless the differences in scale...

    I've always been tempted by Hobby Masters, but when holding the final product, I don't feel the $100.00 plus pirce-tag, and the quality of the pilots and missiles most times is borderline bootleg looking. But this, in diecast, is hard to pass up on. It will be great if they go the extra mile by adding the missile bays...

    What are we suppose to be looking at here?
  22. Raikkonen
    Doesn't understand lighting. Or films with his sunglasses on.

    Doubt it when looking at their other licenses. Their repaints tend to be single event period exclusives. I would only budge for stealth, camo, low vis, and etc repaints... those interest me.

    Never liked this type of weathering. Looks too much like quick amateur dry brushing with a few sponge dubs.

    I don't watch videos of toys I already have. Thanks for pointing it. Has not happened to any of mine. Thankfully.
