    I just saw ALIEN in the theatre for the first time. In fact, this is my first time as an adult and my first time ever watching it from start to finish without pausing, fast-forwarding, or just plain watching clips on YouTube. I'm shocked at how tight the editing is and how quickly the plot moves along. Character introductions are sparse, but we learn about them as they work and not just in a montage opening. Aside from the Chestburster scene, which is and will always be truly iconic, there's shockingly little amounts of gore or on-screen violence. The set design is meant to be seen on the Big Screen, and it's wonderfully claustrophobic. I love the little decals and touches showing it's a ship with a purpose and not just a pretty set for a movie. A wonderful experience, and one of the few movies I'll watch in a year and fewer still in the theatre.

    I'm waffling on this design. I waffle.

    The first was the funniest movie I'd seen in a theatre since Ace Ventura. I refused to watch the second one on general principles and I'm teetering on being sold on this one.

    The only problem with other SC characters is the armours are so distinctive that it's more involved than a mere repaint with a new head. But I'd love to get more of them, anyway!

    The armour version is nice. The shield clips around the forearm, with no exposed peg hole needed if not in use. It came with two stands, one for each figure. Armoured Dana has helmet attached and bare face swappable faces. The bare face connects with two pegs into the head, the helmet has a pair of teeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiny tabs that slot into obnoxiously hard-to-line-up holes. The armour colours look great. Her girdle/codpiece is a bit loose but that means that as I pose her her legs don't crash into stuff and chip the paint. She looks a bit better proportioned in her armoued look, no grotesque column-neck there. The joints themselves seem decently tight so far, able to hold a pose and prop up her laser rifle. All in all, a good purchase and I'm glad to get some Southern Cross merch.

    So I did get my Dana! She's quite tiny and her legs are a bit out of proportion (I guess a leftover from when the armour was supposed to be removable). The cloth suit isn't quite as tacky in person because of how small it is, and it feels different and better than just painted plastic. I haven't gotten to her armoured form yet, but that's the one that's gonna live on my shelf so I want to practice swapping gimmicks on her off-duty look first 😀

    Please, I'm a Robotech fan. Bitter a**hole comes with the territory in that fandom! I just really like the banter between not-Megs and not-Prime. It's going to be fascinating to watch as these two friends grow apart into the bitter enemies we know today. I also like the (so far) lack of humans to get in the way.

    Damn, I'm always on the opposite side of sentiment on this site, because this trailer looks awesome to me! I guess I'll just have to enjoy watching it on behalf of everyone here!

    I might have spoken too soon! I just got a notice in my mailbox that there's a parcel waiting for pickup
  10. CoryHolmes
    Really? I ordered as well and haven't heard squat from them.
  11. CoryHolmes
    Great. Forever will not unsee. I hope you're happy with yourself!

    I love this maligned mini-mecha more than most. It perfectly fits the narrative I've invented for my head-canon Second Generation.
  13. CoryHolmes
    Oh, hush you. You can take your stoopid "reality" and "facts" and eject them out the ship Among Us style!
  14. CoryHolmes
    I'm torn. I love Godzilla 2016 because of how serious it is, but I love these because of how goofy they are. Which do I support more???
  15. CoryHolmes
    And to think that you've doubted me all this time when I said there was demand for quality Southern Cross mecha 😁
  16. CoryHolmes
    Will the rerelease be... um... released here in Canada? The interwebz didn't answer me.
  17. CoryHolmes
    That's a good thing, then. I hate when TV shows have unnecessary padding, and they all do.

    I'm a dum-dum who was so excited that he didn't read the post all the way through. PM sent with my requests, Captain!
  19. CoryHolmes
    It's a film? I thought it was a TV series!

    Mere words don't suffice to articulate how I feel about this. A picture is worth a thousand words, so... *ahem* After all that inarticulate screeching of joy, you can put me down for 2 kits. Possibly 3, depending on how things go but I'm good for 2! This isn't quite my birthday, but it sure does feel like it!
  21. CoryHolmes
    They do look very nice 🤔

    I know I'm in the minority, but I really didn't like Prey at all. I'm hoping the sequel is better for me.
  23. CoryHolmes
    Hmmmmmm. This isn't as awful as the rest, and if it were a bit more in my price range I'd be tempted.
  24. CoryHolmes
    They're too busy and have way too much going on. While it's more a sign of the times it was animated in, there's something clean and elegant about the original Cyclone design.
  25. CoryHolmes
    All I want is more Mon Mothma in Coruscant. The fact that it's wrapped up in a show called "Andor" is meaningless to me, I know what I like.
