  1. Yeah, he is pretty small by comparison. One has to wonder why? Um, yes please. No fighting, not my fav Superman movie, but that shot, that looks great. Will he encounter his LoT doppelganger?
  2. It was produced as a last ditch effort to cover the development costs of the series, and possibly convince another animation house that it could be successful. Fortunately, people saw what a garbage fire it turned out to be, and the McKinney novels, (which I did read a young one, before learned better) further confirmed that. That being said, I think I had the artbook at one point and some of the new designs were "interesting." The SDF-3 wasn't a terrible concept, wrapping it in a "Zentraedi" shell, but again, showed the creative bankruptcy, as even their earlier comics, showing Zor with the battle fortress showed a far different design. The Cat Aliens, if fleshed out better, weren't a terrible concept, especially that they couldn't breath Oxygen. Not many sci-fi shows did that back then. Those horned aliens were also an interesting concept, but were never properly explored, no two were alike due to extensive genetic modification. The Crystal aliens were also interesting, but lazily handled, giving them humanoid form. There were just highly derivative, worse they were lazy, taking concept that existed before and "Reimagining" them in the simplest of fashions.
  3. That Ride Armor Mini is pretty cool.
  4. That Wedge is a must for me.
  5. OOhh look how edgy I am, I make fun of Mac7 without any good basis to work from, and think something from RT-Sentinels is from it. Have you even watched Mac7 dude?
  6. THey both could be. IIRC there were multiple Anti-UN factions, some better armed and funded then others.
  7. From additional pictures I saw, it looks like the X-Wings, at least are all new molds. Typical of bandai they have different runners and pieces for the different colors. ALso, and I will want to check this to be sure, the wings look a little thicker.
  8. Beat me to it. YEs, in the later Marvel Comics it is revealed that a young Anastasia walked in a scene where her brother and a bunch of Viet Cong were dead and Snake Eyes (pre-ninja commando, and just an army ranger badass) was the only one left standing. That put her on her road to terrorism. Laird Destro (the previous Destro) then shows up with his teenage son and deduced that Snake Eyes was defending himself. The Baronesses brother killed by the Viet-Cong who were masquerading as humanitarian relief workers IIRC. It was a well written story, but from a time when the comics were becoming more Snake Eyes centered due to pressure from Hasbro and Marvel execs. The overall story arc was good though and led into the excellent Gulf War Storyline where the ranks of both sides were heavily thinned.
  9. I loved the first, a nice bit of fun in a genre that has become way too serious. I missed the second, too busy, and the bad audience reviews kind of shooed me away. This one looks old school badass, while retaining the fun.
  10. Ok, glorified illegal drug production, distribution and other criminal activities.
  11. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the MC die at the end of that drug glorifying series?
  12. At this price I'd rather by the 1:20 with fastpack and weapons set and have a pro-model builder customize it for me with all the bells and whistles. Probably still end up cheaper.
  13. Yes, the Hachette collection models are nice, I've seen a few in person, but are insanely expensive. It would be cheaper to just buy a kit and pay a professional to build and detail it.
  14. The Indian Air Force has one of the most diverse and interesting air forces out there. They operate not only their own, homegrown aircraft, but Russian, British, French and even American aircraft. The interoperability of all those diverse systems is pretty amazing. It's almost like they are looking more at the capabilities of the aircraft then on the politics of where they come from.
  15. THing is, if CW can get Old Bruce Wayne, and can't have BW Batman, can they get Batman Beyond, as that is no longer OG Batman? Can they get Flashpoint Bats? I mean Gotham showed a young Bats at the end right? Just not in the full suit? (I never watched). Is it because of that? Does Fox own the rights to live action BW Batman?
  16. Solid start, can't wait to see the finished product
  17. Holy Necro-Post Batman. A quick word of advice, might be best to introduce yourself before posting to ask for feedback on your book. There are a couple of authors and writers on this group who would probably like to help you in between projects, but this is probably not the way to start.
  18. Gorgeous animation, Legioss model is definitely based on a toy, based on the proportions. Original Mospeada music would have been preferable.
  19. The original and the book are classics. Would have been better if the movie had stuck to the book and Rambo died at the end.
  20. To each his own, but I like how it turned the X-Wing into more of bomber, hence the Mud-Hen reference. Had they combined it with a new dedicated fighter, like an E-Wing I think it would have been awesome. The mid-chord wing split of the T-70 drove me nuts, still does. While it gives a thicker wing over all, the much shorter chord of the wings would result in all kind of torsional stress from the wingtip weapon emplacements.
  21. That is definitely a better looking toy then the last one, but I still HATE the T-70. The wing/engine split is just way too awkward and they really didn't address one of the X-Wing's biggest flaws, the poor visibility. I loved the two seat "Mud-Hen" X-wing concept. With a little more refinement it would have been far better. The biggest refinement I would make to that one would have been to blend the engines into the fuselage more and give it a subtle LERX.
