    The Rotten Rat getting its filthy mittens on Anime, more than likely to bestow its now-infamous brand of "tender loving care" upon it like they did with Star Wars and Marvel and Willow and Indiana Jones and many more, fills me with dread for this most-Japanese art form and story telling. By no means is this immediate distrust uniquely relegated to Disney; every American studio has had a terrible track record on this front, be it animation or live action: For every Alita or One Piece, there are dozens of examples of complete (on many levels) failures.

    Some easy money... lord knows, most new movies aren't cutting it in paying the bills.

    Given Current Hollywood, that is pretty much the only franchise/IP that is making good on that goal...

    I haven't been into anything of this sort, other than the rare automotive diecast, in years but this has my undivided interest, so much so that I can taste it. 🤤 The one thing that gives me pause is the sticker price on that glorious Viper...

    Hi-Metal R

    Octos and Cheyenne would be very nice too... Major pipedream; we all know those will NEVER happen; heck, we're still waiting for the Tomahawk and Phalanx from OG Macross to see the light of day.

    I'd call it a cash grab if, given the gag in the original, that wasn't the entire self-aware point...

    Since there are no examples of their not having F'd up or severely diminished IPs/studios they've acquired, some immediately, others after a few outings, and even their own legacy stuff (Snow White being their latest abomination) gets plundered, I'd posit that it's much closer to always than usually. Disney is a content singularity. It consumes everything it can in order to grow and, in the process, shreds everything it eats into unrecognizable particles.

    The best kind... one that can MAKE toys.

    The first one was... okay(?). The sequel... I refuse to formally acknowledge its existence.

    Cautiously intrigued and assiduously withholding any opinion or judgement until it either impresses or disappoints...

    Came in looking for updates -- I'd settle for rumors and minor crumbs -- on the VF-5000 Star Mirage and I'm leaving disappointed...

    Not only more -- number of dedicated fans vs "professionals" working for the Mouse makes it a given -- but superior in almost every single way except polish.

    Leagues better and more authentic all around than Bane's appearance on BoBF

    Basil tirando uma página diretamente do roteiro chinês... por que desenvolver um projeto original quando os Estados Unidos já fez o trabalho difícil? E o nome do caça me faz pensar no grito do capitão Kirk em A Ira de Khan.

    Oldie but goodie:

    If that were the case, the waxy pigment would've been crooked and smeared, like Jack Burton after trading spit with Gracie Law (Big Trouble in Little China). That figure looks a lot more like it was self-applied in front of a makeup mirror...

    HMR VF-19P

    I don't doubt. If they aren't cutting steel for the molds necessary for the Blazer specific parts, I'm sure they already have all the necessary 3D data done, validated and ready to go to the toolmaker.

    HMR VF-19P

    mechaninac replied to BlueMax's topic in Toys

    This actually makes perfect sense. Other than the head and the addition of the speaker fins on the shoulder pauldrons, the unit is identical to the Fire Valk. I may get this but I'm really interested in the Emerald Force's S and F Blazer variants.

    My wallet AND bank account just whimpered, and I swear every one of my credit cards just gave me the evil eye, at the mere thought of how much something like this would cost...

    A giant cavernous warehouse building shaped like a coliseum made entirely of boxes, most still sealed, some in shippers, with their mint status content safely encased within...
  24. mechaninac
    Not likely to be a coliseum but something more akin to the giant warehouse seen at the end of Raiders of the Lost Arc...

    As long as nostalgia-brained individuals with money to burn keep buying, apparently so...
