  1. I sticker my valks. I still have 2 valks and GBP armor that need to be stickered. If you wash the toy with alcohol and trrim down the stickers before applying, you can get some very good results. For darker toys like the VF-11 I haven't stickered them with as much detail as some of the other toys. Yamato should include a sheet of white stickers for the darker releases, which they rarely do. The red lettering doesn't show as well as the white stickers.
  2. Damn I can't wait for this to come out. The cast looks amazing so far. Carol looks hot, and I think Angela Bassett will make an excellent Amanda Waller. They mention a possible trilogy, I hope it will follow Geof Johns run in GL. Which I highly recommend. It has been one of the best DC comics put out over the last several yrs.
  3. He definately looks like Hal, but I'm not feeling the costume.
  4. Awesome work Kurt!! Your work is always astounding.
  5. The component cables suck though. They should be longer. I Have a 47 inch tv and have the sit right in front of it because the component cable isn't long enough to stretch to my couch.
  6. Good thread idea. I'm a huge fan of Hong Kong action and old shaw brothers films. Most of the movies I own are under these genres as well as anime. I just picked up red cliff last week and I hope to watch it soon. My favorites are the Venoms, Gordon Liu, Ti Lung, Alexander Fu sheng, Chen Kuan tai, Tony Leung and Chow yun Fat. Other notable Donnie Yen films: Seven Swords and Kill Zone( Donnie vs Sammo Hung) The Kung Fu master Once upon a Time in China 2: Jet vs Donnie
  7. Ditto what Graham said. But it is a very good toy for Bandai, it should have come with a stand for the price it retails for. Battroid mode still leaves a lot to be desired, but fighter mode is gorgeous. I really wish they would redesign the hip waist area.
  8. Purchased FrenzyA barricade today at Target.
  9. I bought one last Sunday for $30 dollars. I bought another one last night for $7.
  10. Walmart has Masterpiece Skywarp on sale.
  11. I'll check my walmart near my job tomorrow. It has been a great spot to find toys.
  12. Has the HA barricade made it to the big retailers yet?
  13. Kicker, The 2nd figure in your post was illustrated by shunja Yamashita. I love his design's. He has a x-men rogue and psylocke statues that I want.
  14. The chosen actor is a pretty big guy. I believe he's about 6'4. He's definately alot more athletic looking than any of the other usual fan choices. I think he is a good choice. He does kinda remind me of the character from the comic book. Besides the whole steroid look is so WWE. You can see that several times a week on TV.
  15. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10119032 Biby Product dimensions Width: 15 3/4 " Depth: 13 3/8 " Height: 68 7/8 " Max load/shelf: 15 lb Width: 40 cm Depth: 34 cm Height: 175 cm Max load/shelf: 7 kg
  16. Ikea also makes other cabinets that I recommend. I have 2 of the Biby cabinets. The space between each level isn't as high,nor as wide as the detolf, but you get essentially five levels to store your items. It is also a little more elegant, and it comes with a key lock. The Grevback is similar to another cabinet that I have from Ikea as well. It has adjustable shelving and also has five levels. The other cabinet that I have from Ikea that they no longer make was called the ingo. I think the Grevback replaced it. The ingo is my favorite cabinet. None of my cabinets collect that much dust. I would think that the Detolf would be the worst, because the gap between the door is the widest of the 3 different cabinets I have.
  17. Awesome finale. I will dearly miss Tennant. ALL good things must come to an end.
  18. One of my coworkers was able to snag one for me. He said that some people were buying them 4 at a time.
  19. I think all of the suggestions are great. Additional custom Stickers would be great. I would also like to see the fold booster for the yf-19 and yf-21 rereleased as well. different colored fast pack sets(black, grey, white etc)
  20. I cancelled my preorder for the Millia Vf-22s and bought the virgin road and low vis vf-1s. Darn sales. Hopefully the vf-22s will be discounted later.
  21. I've seen the HA figures on sale at a local grocery store for $19.00
  22. Thats part of the reason why I stopped collecting the Revoltech figures. The joints completely ruin the figures appearance to me. The Figmas have them beat hands down. I wish Figma would make a few other characters from Ikki Tousen, Queens Blade, and some of the characters designed by Shunja Yamashita. I have Yamato's VMF figures of Motoko Kusanagi, and Shimei Ryomo. The have their flaws, but they are good figures. I wanted to get the Kanu Uncho figure, but she was only sold on the website. If you go to figmas website, you can download paper backgrounds for the characters and print them out. Some of tthese backgrounds are meant to be placed over the figma stages. They also have been selling alot of cool acessories such as bikes, skateboards, purses etc. I see why some people collect the dolls though. The attention to detail is astounding. Check out some of the ones on Danny Choos site. Some are kinda creeepy, but the clothing, possibility, and sculpting is very creative.
  23. I think it is the 2nd or 3rd episode, but Jet even references Charlie Parker. The opening credits elude to Jazz Bebop and that the storytelling in the series will try to follow that style of music.
  24. Other pop culture references: 1) In the episode with the video Otaku, he is watching Beverly hills 90210(watch for the end credits on his tv) 2) In Heavy Metal Queen- the bounty they are after looks like Woody Allen 3) Episode titles are names of songs, movies, and Albums 4) Aisimov and girlfriend both resemble Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek from Desperado 5) Jets old partner looks like Harvey Keitel (Bad Lieutenant) 6) Bull is a homage to Sitting Bull, and he has a playstation console 7) Mushroom Samba has a few homages to Blaxpoitation films and Shaft
  25. It was a tough decision to go with Skids over sideswipe, because I like sideswipes alt mode so much. I think skids is a better figure over all, less kibble so i went with him 1st. Do you think the HA figs will ever go on clearance?
