Fair enough. I wouldn’t mind it if the writers kept things literal, but if not…

I’m curious to see if Lady Loki is actually Enchantress, which would explain why she turns up as a Loki variant but would also allow her to still be someone else. That said, the story hints could be a feint and the creative team could have something else in mind.

 

*Nods in agreement*

Could be interesting, to be sure the twist(s) are coming, obviously just realllly curious like everyone else what they'll be.

Honestly I hope that she's exactly who she appears to be. Besides there's no need to keep doing twisty-turny, who's the big bad in these series - WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier already did that. Plus episode 2 established that there are Loki variants that range in all shapes and sizes, so just let it ride.

Let some things be as obvious as they appear to be and let the real surprises come with other parts of the story. Like the Time Keepers true origins and/or motives, Judge R, the eventual reveal of

, etc.

I guess for everyone trying not to spoil the last episode for those that haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry cause Disney just did it with their own poster image.

Maybe? There's some debate online about who that really is. If you haven't seen the second episode yet, pay attention to the dialogue when you do.

So...that's not Mephisto?

So did anyone try to grab the Walmart exclusive Black Series Captain Rex? And if so, does anyone have an extra they want to sell?

Your nostalgia-vision is correct, at least as far as Visionaries goes.  The dropoff in animation quality from the opening to the first three episodes to the ones that followed was quite dramatic.

Thanks for the sanity check! 

Even as a kid that was always my biggest beef with cartoons, the inconsistent quality of animation and the toys that didn't do the things they did in the cartoons (will blame some of that on the really crazy expectations I had).

I do not disagree with you at all. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to quote the opening.

 

I'm less disappointed by these figures because, frankly, I never expected to see new Silverhawks figures in the first place. I'm pleasantly surprised there's enough demand to justify making figures at all, even if the lack of any sort of metallic effect is a downer.

This, really surprised to see these being made at all. While I wasn't clamoring for Silverhawks toys, hopefully this means that someone will get around to stuff I'd really be excited about, like Galaxy Rangers.

And with a year wait, I have a looooonnnnngggg time to decide if I want to invest in a few figures or not.

have to admit their original avengers looks are so iconic now.

Yep. Can't believe it's been almost 10 years, and looking at The Avengers costume designs compared to Avengers: Endgame - crazy.

-b.

Cartoons in the 80's really had some of the coolest openings. A little bait and switch with the animation since that was often so much better than the cartoon themselves.

At least, that's what my nostalgia-vision tells me.

so bandai saw sentinel marvel fighting armors and got jealous?  haha  bandai's designs DO look better though.  also shang chi looks really well done.  was gonna just get the ML one (its "good enough" for what it is) but maybe i'll get the SHF if it doesnt' sell out on goes on sale.

ironman has a fast pack but no strike canon.  haha.  looks good though.

Was thinking the exact same thing, the Bandai SHF TECH ON Avengers are extremely reminiscent of Sentinel's Fighting Armor line.

Iron Man looks okay (not sure about the head) but I am not a fan of the non-armor characters getting the armor treatment. Just looks a little off to me.

Does anyone know if US based stores will be carrying the Hawkeye and Black Widow from the Avengers lineup?

Got a notice on this: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/162832

 

While I don't want this particular item, this might bode well for Macross goodies being available in the US beyond just the series themselves.

Thanks for posting.

Hopefully this turns into "something" vs. just some random item getting a listing on BBTS.

I'm going to turn in too @Kanedas Bike as I got my pre-order already. It's almost 1:00AM PST in the West Coast. 

One of the few times I'll be jealous of not being 3 hours ahead of you guys!

Was not expecting to see that about Anime-Export, but at least they were quick to refund your money.

Anyone still going or calling it off?

Poster should say Captain America and the Winter Soldier.

Still the best parts of this series were (in no particular order);

• The interactions between Sam and Bucky (mostly out of costume)
• Bucky's storyline
• Sam's unwavering optimism and spirit
• Zemo

Also really looking forward to Loki now, the last preview sold me. Before that I was "meh".

The rest of the SMS have gotten their maintenance checks, checked for stress marks, tightened up joints and cleaned up. 

Ready to be suited up. 

 

Fantastic! Still love how much of the 25 is an homage to the VF-1.

You’d hope Bandai would release DYRL version with yellow tipped missiles and DYRL hands, and darker bluer grey parts to milk the mold.  

You'd think, but Bandai makes some really odd choices with what they choose to release.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that they do - but until I see a pre-order button somewhere I'm not holding my breath.

Ordered a few stand-alone sets, and will order the bundle as well, but damn I hate those big stupid clown hands. Really the TV hands in general are the worst.

I read a review that made me Lol, basically "this is a story about the most amazing interdimensional martial arts tournament... That became a movie without a martial arts tournament."

^This.

It was entertaining and overall I enjoyed it, which is what I was going for, BUT lack of a really good soundtrack, lack of an actual tourney, and some pretty big plot holes keep this one from being as good as it should have been.

Thank you @Kanedas Bike.  The DX Ozma is getting old, and surprising he’s still holding together pretty well.  Needs a bit of tightening up.

You can never tell what Gojira is up to, he just shows up in the photos.  

One of these days I'm going to have to take mine out of Fighter with the Armor Parts attached. I'm just afraid to see if it turned into a floppy mess after all of these years!
