    That’s purty and just about the shade of red I wouldn’t get too miffed about, if the 1/12 ride armor wound up being that shade. Just a slight hint of pink, but still falling on the more red side of things. Nice job!
  2. Mog
    So hopefully, their “modern interpretation” sticks closer to red. Seriously, that pink just will stick out like a sore thumb in group shots. I definitely enjoyed the improvements and tweaks they did from the initial prototype to the second one. Just hope Sentinel can nail the colors next.

    Glad that something good came out of this whole “discussion.”

    I get slow-rolling the show and slowly peeling back the “real” story. But we’re treading verrrrrrry close to Inhumans, Iron Fist (Season 1), Jessica Jones (Season 2), Agent Carter (Season 2) levels of boredom here. Dumb wild theory time: With all the Hydra commercial references, I wonder if Agents of SHIELD’s Framework (kind of a spin on The Matrix) is involved and mixing with Wanda’s realty warping skills.

    ^^Wouldn’t be the first time for me, considering how much I paid for a Matchbox SDF-1 and a 1/48 TV Max (and maybe a YF-21?). But I’d rather not go down that road, and just have Sentinel go with the right color from the start. I actually wish Yellow’s ride was a little lighter or a more faded shade of blue, but it was close enough. If Sentinel gets Houquet’s color “close enough,” I’ll grumble a little and move on. But seriously, that metallic pink color won’t mesh with these guys:

    Like I said, we could argue this forever. Hell, the color of her armor varies even from scene to scene. Most of these scenes I snapped below show the armor leaning more towards red, but you can find examples in the exact same eps where it’s more pinkish: Bottom line: I don’t think we can rely on the animation to say whether the armor is definitively red or pink. PERSONALLY, I’d like for it to be definitively red. But if we’re arguing whether the final product’s color is more red or more pink, I can live with that compromise position. Just NOT that metallic or hot pink color in the poster above.

    Nah, this is the catch-all Mospeada thread. So, it’s fine. Regarding the series, to paraphrase a quote from Wreck-It Ralph, they gave Stick one of of the cruelest backstories ever. His fiancé dies right after saying yes. All his crewmates die. His Legioss gets thrashed. And after living on Mars all his life, he gets a literal thunder storm poured on top of him. Unfortunately, there’s also more Mint side plots awaiting you. I guess precocious kid was one of those tropes we just couldn’t avoid back in the 80’s. And if memory serves me right, there are a few additional nude scenes.

    Reddish pink or red, we could argue about the animation color until the cows come home. But I’d personally rather have the eventual Bartley ride armor be the same red shade as the Legioss than the pink color of the figure here and in the Zeta’s box art.

    Guess it’s time to review reference pics of Houquet in her armor and bike in bike mode. Red > Fluorescent Pink.

    Yup, Ambassador Delenn. Sucks to hear. RIP EDIT: I knew that some of the B5 cast members had passed away, but there were a few additional names that surprised me.

    I already have two blue Alphas (and matching Betas), so didn’t want to get yet another blue one. As I’ve said in the past, I like the solid red color of the Zeta, as it’s unique amongst its white trimmed (or grey/light purple trimmed in the Dark Legioss’ case) counterparts. Add in the different rifle attachment, and it’s different enough to warrant a purchase.
  12. Mog
    Come to Moggy! . . . Is it too early to ask for colored prototype pics of the Bartley?

    First two eps were definitely a drag. I remember those old sitcoms, but they just don’t give me any sort of nostalgia feels. The dark undertones are there, but we’ll see how it all pans out. Wonder if it’ll be like some anime series, where it takes a few episodes before the story real starts to kick in.
  14. Mog
    Most of us were ragging on it, when the first trailers came out. But even in Season 1, it came in with a nice mixture of nostalgia, not taking itself too seriously, twisting the story perspectives around, and gave us a main character actually trying and struggling to grow and do right. Eagles don’t get sh*t on!

    I don’t consider myself a prude, but I think me and the wifey were laughing at one of the episodes in particular. Like without all the sex scenes, it would probably cut the series runtime down by at least half. To its credit, the show gave me the phrase, “Pulling a Bridgerton,” to incorporate into “polite” conversation.
  16. Mog
    I think you mean Clarissa, Julie’s sister. Julie’s the rebellious sister that got involved with the protomolecule in Seasons 1 and 2. Regarding the belters, I get how some of the very minor characters and political figures can be annoying. But the development and character moments for Ashford and Drummer made me fans of those two.

    Welp, Amos is an ass-kicker who just says whatever is on his mind and doesn’t fear anyone, paying zero heed (or fraks) to their rank or status. I kinda knew going in that watching one ep a week would have a different feel: they got so many characters, and all those characters are spread all over the whole system for this season. Plus, the show tends to end most eps with some sort of cliffhanger or big surprising reveal. Makes the show very conducive to binging, but not so much for a slower weekly experience. If you’re looking for something to fill in that wait, the after-episode show on YouTube isn’t too shabby. It’s okay background filler to have on while you’re working on other tasks.

    Can we just agree that Boba was a complete dumbass in ROTJ? Boba sees a guy flailing around with a laser-sword, and his first inclination is to fight the dude AT CLOSE RANGE. Does no one ever listen to HK-47’s sage advice about defeating a Jedi?! Boba’s got a jetpack. Why not engage from a distance? Toss grenades and other long-range weapons at your opponent? Or aim same said weapons at your opponent’s blind and Wookiee friends? Or blast at the wires holding Lando up? Do things to take advantage of a Jedi’s selfless nature. And before even considering all that, why didn’t Boba just aim at the skiff and FIRE THE BLOODY ROCKET STRAPPED TO HIS BACK? Yeah, others are responsible for him getting bumped into a pit, but Boba’s own lack of strategy put him into bad circumstances.
  21. Mog
    Well in Clone Wars, Boba did go after Mace but wound up in jail because of it. Plus, he showed signs of guilt about deceiving the younger clones and some of the clone officers in the process. If Boba does have a hit list for getting tossed in the Sarlacc pit, it’s probably (in order of preference): * Han; * A gunner on Jabba’s sail barge (assuming he survived Luke’s saber-waving barrage on the barge’s deck AND the sail barge blowing up); and * MAYBE Luke. But again, Luke isn’t directly responsible for Boba’s little flight and landing into the pit. It’d be like me getting more pissed at the dude I picked a fight with, rather than his friend who decided to stab me in the back.
  22. Mog
    Thanks for the update! Looks like I’ll get to join in the Legioss fun (hopefully) before the end of the month. Paint’s ready to get rid of the hot pink color on Houquet too.
  23. Mog
    What would Boba have to worry about though? Luke did destroy Boba’s rifle, but he did tie up Luke and almost shot him in the back in ROTJ. It’s just that a dumbass sail barge gunner and Han’s lucky swipe interrupted their fight. If anything, I think Boba’s smart enough not to pick a fight and just tell Luke, “You owe me a rifle, Jedi.” Especially if he saw the crumpled piles of Darktroopers all across the ship.

    A-A-Ron is probably thanking his lucky stars the teacher has a new focus for his ire.
