    I kind of like the original, untanned version with the cloth bikini better: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-009130&page=rt_11

    not sure what this is, but it actually looks kind of nice.

    Actually it looks more like an A-10 seen from the back. And also not drawn particularly well.

    I'm kinda glad I didn't get a 0D now that I know there's a real possibility of a 1.1 down the line.

    So far, all of these planet of the cats figures have had pretty sub-par quality control at release, but I keep wanting them. I love cat girls and they look so adorable in pictures. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-012506&page=top so good...

    Didn't watch the video, but from the preview image, that is one seriously hot Domino cosplay they've got going on.

    I'm just going to repost this here because it's relevent to videogames, I've talked about similar stuff in this thread before, and because I'm so annoyed that I need to rant about this twice: well I finally got my Chief in hand and... it sucks. I'm not going to post pictures because I honestly can't be assed to snap some pics of it but 3A dropped the ball so hard on this figure it's absolutely unbelievable. Basically, it's big and it looks like the MC from halo 4 and that's it; everything else about it doesn't work as advertised at all. First off, the figure is incapable of interacting with any of it's accessories. The hands were designed with absolutely no thought to how the gun would be held so they basically can't hold any of his weapons at all. the palm is the wrong shape to let the weapons sit naturally, there's not enough tension in the finger joints to grip anything, and the thumb doesn't have anywhere near enough range of motion to wrap around anything. Further, there's absolutely no way to make him hold any weapon with two hands. The elbow joints don't even bend to 90 degreees; the shoulders lack any kind of ratchets and are too loose to support themselves; and the swing-out joint in the shoulder doesn't provide enough range of motion for both hands to even reach where they should grip on any weapon. In fact, you can't even display the figure with a weapon holstered, as the magnets that were advertised to let the guns mount to his backs are too weak to actually support the weight of even the lightest rifle. So the figure can't be posed with any weapons. It also can't be posed in any way other than a basic standing pose either. The legs and torso, while not as unbelievably poorly articulated as the arms, still only have the most basic of articulation to there inner structure. The articulation that is present however, is completely hampered by the rubber body suit they chose to use to make up the under-structure of the armor. The rubber suit bunches, binds and produces enough pressure to overcome most of the joints, preventing anything resembling a dynamic pose. It's also difficult to tell how you're posing the toy and if your even moving the joints you mean to at all as the body suit is so loose fitting as to make the whole thing like a rubbery mess. And for all the articulation problems, the figure doesn't even look that good in a standing pose. the rubber under-suit is loose fitting, softly detailed, and has only a basic dry-brushed silver paint application that makes it look incredibly cheap. the hard molded panels look decent but they feel like they're made from light and cheap plastic, and they paint work on them is muddled and indistinct. So I've got a big, mediocure looking toy that's not poseable and doesn't hold any of it's accessories. Also, it didn't come with the obnoxious button cell batteries that are needed for the light up gimmicks. And the toe of one foot fell off within 5 minutes of getting it out of the box. at this point I'd like to reiterate that this is a $240 figure. A TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLAR TOY. That's twice the price of the 18 inch NECA figure that was released prior to this, which is by all accounts a better toy in every way. and I'm not the only person who feels this way, the complaints have been so vocal that 3A has acknowledged that the toy is sub-par on their face book, apologized and offered to take returns for full refunds from anyone not happy with the toy. I'm going on vacation Monday, but I'm about 99% certain I'm going to take them up on that offer and then order either the NECA chief or the kotobukiya ArtFX+ statue. Hell, I might order both since they'd be cheaper on amazon together than what I payed for 3A's attempt. this about sums it up: I was REALLY excited for this toy; I love halo, I love the design work from halo 4, the Master Chief is one of my favorite video game characters and I was so blown away by how amazing the threeZero titanfall atlas turned out that I thought there was no way they could screw this up. Well they could and they did.

    So yeah, digging this thread up again to make a very important public service announcement about threeA and their video game licensed toys. in case anyone doesn't remember this came up about 7 months ago: well I finally got my Chief in hand and... it sucks.

    I actually really like the silver, it matches her hair. Also, I'm too impatient to wait for a repaint when a figure has legs that perfect.

    someone who was banned tried to circumvent said ban by creating a new account, which is grounds for a swift and vengeful ban-hammer. anyways, lets talk some more about how good this looks...
  15. anime52k8
    oh my god that's amazing... :edit: They had BETTER be working on a Kanu to go with her. Kanu's my bae.
  16. anime52k8
    Didn't they just do a really crap Steve jobs movie like two years ago?
  17. anime52k8
    I saw the title of this thread and thought these guys were back.
  18. anime52k8
    The frontier dolfies are so pretty, I'd have gotten both if they weren't so crazy expensive.
  19. anime52k8
    basically, the wiiU is a piece of crap and you have no one to blame but yourself for buying one.

    Oh to be so young and naive and low level again. I've had 3 max level characters for so long I can't even remember the last time I encountered an invulnerable enemy. I really get a kick out of how dangerous the house of wolves expansion has made the cosmodrome for kindergardians. There's nothing quite like watching a low level run into a room full of level 1 enemies thinking they've got this only to be one shot buy a level 28 yellow bar captain.

    some sort of propulsion system based on alien technology.
  22. anime52k8
    NY just shipped my Elevator girl. shipping was stupid expensive, hopefully they at least upgraded it in the process.
  23. anime52k8
    I don't like the banshee norn, I like the regular banshee with the armed armor.
  24. anime52k8
    fighter is pretty cool. I'll give them that much.
  25. anime52k8
    I wasn't planning on getting one anyways so if hlj doesn't work out, oh well.
