  1. The OCD part of me is curious what you're gonna add in that empty spot in the bottom right corner. šŸ˜… Very nice displays, running the whole gamut of Macross!
  2. Obi and Yoda went into hiding. Seriously doubt Bail’s just randomly dropping off news to Obi. After ROTS, they probably all know to keep the kids safe and keep a low profile (well except for the Galactic Senator). Makes sense that Bail would only contact Obi for only the most dire of circumstances and doubt Bail’s in the know about Vader’s true identity. Even if grumblings about a former Jedi hunting and slaughtering his own kind makes it all the way to backwoods Tattooine, I don’t think Obi’s in the right state of mind to fully process it. He clearly hasn’t heard squat from Qui-Gon in 10 years, still has massive hurt from ā€œkillingā€ Anakin and seeing Padme die, and has a mission that forces him to lay low and not draw attention to himself.
  3. Still one of the best and varied anime soundtracks around, especially the orchestral stuff:
  4. Okay, this was a good start. For once, Star Wars got a well-casted kid. Kinda ā€œduhā€ how they got Ben out. But let’s see how this all pans out. Reva’s solid. I actually stumbled into watching a bit of The Queen’s Gambit right before watching Obi and was reminded of how good the actress is. Also, love the old vet’s cameo. Lastly, Deborah Chow was definitely taking notes and ā€œgetsā€ what makes Star Wars work.
  5. Jeremy Jahns pretty much hits the nail on the head with this: They have a built-in continuation with Bullseye getting "upgraded" and giving DD an excuse to go back to the red armor (to even the odds). . . . Though I doubt Poindexter goes after the Devil of Hell's Kitchen so much as go after Fisk instead. Three out of the five Netflix shows have obvious continuations. But if they don't get the right folks to continue DD and Cage's stories, just forget it.
  6. Keeping with the bike theme:
  7. Always knew Minmei was cray-cray! Poor Misa must have been distracted to be caught in a situation like that.
  8. If DD isn’t rocking the black bandana, They already nerfed Fisk. The only ending of a D+ Marvel show that didn’t annoy me was Falcon & Winter Soldier. I’m kinda fatigued out with Marvel’s formula at this point. If they allow these shows to be what they were on Netflix, then absolutely give me more. But if you water it down or try to hamfist some multiverse junk in there that doesn’t belong, then no.
  9. The last guitar riff here reminds me a little of God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya:
  10. ^^Welcome to the club. Be prepared to be annoyed by the pink color.
  11. Either make the eyes, nose, and mouth slightly bigger. And/or reduce the five-head.
  12. Is it too early to ask about the Tread? Wonder if we'll see an updated prototype or a fully-colored prototype at the next big convention/fair.
  13. Hoo boy! What rabbit hole have you caused me to fall into @505thAirborne? Crunchy guitar and bass riffs in a maid/lolita goth package?
  14. Guess we know what inspired Ken’s theme:
  15. So Google’s algorithm linked me this interesting tidbit about ROTJ: https://www.sfgate.com/streaming/amp/What-happened-to-Endor-from-Star-Wars-17145105.php The idea that some restaurant’s patio deck was made from the Ewok village or a tree that some Imperial Speeder Bike crashed into is kinda amusing.
  16. If Tom Hardy can survive the first horrible even numbered Trek film, anything’s possible.
  17. The head really doesn’t have to be popped off. There’s enough space to slip it through if you adjust the bike piece a certain way. Just know that the non-helmet head can’t be used in armor mode.
  18. Yeah the port’s a little finicky. But twisting the stand peg into it will eventually cause it to insert properly. @jenius has a good video or two up on Anymoon.com showing how to do it. Range of motion is hindered with all the armor on. And it probably helps to follow along with the instruction manual. Although not as difficult as with her male counterparts, you will want to separate the crotch armor from the rest of the bike from the BOTTOM OF THE BIKE. It’s an absolute heart stopping moment with Stick, Rey, and Yellow. But a little less so with Houquet. When moving the helmet between the bike parts it helps to tilt the head downward and finagle the bike opening for the head a little wider. Also, I usually pop off the forearm armors just to get them out of the way during the transformation process. But just take your time the first time through.
  19. Sentinel showed a prototype for their Tread awhile back. Links start here. Has enough time passed that we can ask (DEMAND) that Sentinel show us colored prototype pics and tell us when preorders will start? 😜
  20. Changing gears, here’s the display set-up I went with: Seem to always be getting a ā€œred then blueā€ theme going with many of my displays.
  21. Eh, even with something as niche as Mospeada, we each have our own likes and wants. Some of us really want Inbit figures; others don’t have much of an interest. Some of us prefer the Ride Armors the most; some of us value the Tread the most. Can’t expect everyone to have the same opinion. Hell, I collect Star Wars figures. But I don’t care for Hasbro’s 6 inch scale or their retro collection. If I like something in my preferred scale, great. I’ll point it out. But I’m also not afraid to call Hasbro out for all their various crappy choices or decisions (hard to find exclusives, piss poor distribution for OVER A DECADE, odd delays with Hasbro Pulse orders while other retailers already have the figure in stock).
