What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

Witch Watch was so good again today. I love this show. - Today

The arm peg issue is even worse than thought. Back when I got my VF-1J, I discovered they get blocked from pegging in when the backpack is in place. The backpack flap is too long and pushes the arm away from the peg. So even IF the arms pegs in securely, it physically can't XD You have to do the elbow trick either way.

That's kind of the point, though. She's taking advantage of two vices freely available at a wedding reception - excessive consumption of alcohol and uninhibited dancing - as a way to dissociate in a public setting so she won't have to immediately deal with the emotional toll from the events of the day. Her dancing is clearly meant to show that she is emphatically NOT OK... something that other characters are also meant to notice (e.g. Perrin, who clearly notices she's in distress at the end of the episode).

A humongous shout out to Greg, a very special friend and collector. Thank you!

I accidentally read that as Gorilla Grod I was happy he might finally be trying to start settling down.
-
I get the reason for trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol, but that was super cringy pill popper dancing
-
Well, that was certainly a fever dream...

The Gorilla God's Go-To Girl is a bit of a weak offering this week. Mostly just high school mean girl shenanigans. -
After a bit of wiki-surfing, it looks like that's what happened in the non-canon pre-Disney version of the Ghorman massacre. I don't think we've seen anything teasing an appearance by Tarkin for Andor's second season, so the actual events of the massacre may be rather different. Unfortunately, the subsequent death of Bail Organa on Alderaan leaves her the de facto leader of the Rebel Alliance's Republic government-in-exile. That, in turn, sets her up to become the Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic where her desire to return to the status quo ante rather than make meaningful reforms to fix the Republic's broken system ultimately paves the way for the rise of the First Order and the subsequent overthrow of the New Republic a few years after her retirement. That's hardly her fault. After all, the whole reason she's trying to lose herself in alcohol and dancing at the wedding reception to avoid dwelling on the knowledge that Luthen is presently... It seems like Mon Mothma has finally hit the point where she can no longer avert her eyes from the fact that people are killing, and/or dying, for the cause. The YouTube channel Generation Tech has a thoughtful analysis of the situation. I originally linked it below, but in hindsight because it uses real world political references I am removing the link out of concern that it may be of issue WRT the forum rules.

Store limited is better value since it comes with missiles. -
You can see the differences in this video: -
Went ahead and installed some of the clear parts, I tend to always make a mess of the job if I do it after painting. Installed, sanded and then coated in Microtech's brushable liquid masking film. Hopefully the edges stay as sharp and clean as they are here. Finally got time to drag out the airbrush for the black basing. Everything looks wonderful except for the nose cone. Not sure what happened. Part of me think the canopy glue stayed wet on the inside and slowly ate at the plastic. All the way around the joint is like this. Giving me old Testors glue tube vibes when you'd apply to much. So off to fix it with some putty. Masking off details to try to save myself on rescribing later.

She sure dances like a tool

All these Takatoku (Made in Taiwan) have several distinct features. When hunting VFs you can spot they are different by just looking at the nose section. See if you can spot this and other unique features. Sorry these are in channel lock bags. But you can still find clues. Have fun.

Looks like a VF-1J that met a Scopedog and had kids....🤪
-
For as many combinations with Super/Strike armors and Green Joons applications, the Bandai reissue armors are the only set to fit. Arms from one Joons to another are not always the same length or shaped. Same for the backpack on the VF.

Epic live version.

Bandai VF-1J DX Chogokin VF-1J Ichijo Hikaru Store Limited Edition VS the old one
wmkjr replied to BrokenValk's topic in Toys
Store limited has a different design on the flight stand vs initial one. Also includes 4 AMM-1 which the initial one didn't have. -
More box-art! 🤗

Yes, the Ghorman Massacre is coming up (it was in the previews) in the coming arc or the following. And it was Rebels that made it canon. This show will actually show what happened. That event served as the tipping point and galvanized the Rebellion (i.e. if peaceful protests are treated the same as violent insurrection, then there is no more room for political action). For Mon Mothma, that event and the address to the Senate afterwards pushes her from being "just another tool" of the Rebellion to being THE leader (in the eyes of the galaxy) of the Rebellion (a tool of a different kind).
-
It may be a different event from what was previously described in terms of what happens, but they've been setting it up since the first season of Andor. It is essentially the key moment that sets up the formation of the Rebel Alliance, so it's a natural inclusion in a series like this about the early rebellion. I'm guessing we'll learn that Cassian was part of the detail that helped extract her from Coruscant.
-
If memory serves, the Ghorman Massacre was Tarkin landing his ship smack on top of a protesting crowd of people at a starport (from one of the sourcebooks or visual dictionaries, I'm a bit hazy where I first saw it.). Not sure if they'll run with this or do their own version, but it looks like the Massacre is about to become canon on film/ TV.

I should be able to; just waiting on my delivery. Was supposed to be here today, but it got delayed in Massachusetts. UPDATE: on an update concerning a previous project- I had intended to scrap this, but saved it aside (knowing my temper and what happened the last time I let my anger get the better of me). Tonight, I dug the Legioss/ Leader-1 model kit back out to try to rework some of it again and hopefully salvage a long-backlogged project. The remaining parts shattered. As of right now, I will NEVER buy another Legioss model kit in any scale, any manufacturer, or any form be it toy, model, or WHATEVER. NO PARTS WHATSOEVER will be salvaged from this UNHOLY PIECE OF RANCID CANINE EXCREMENT. 😠 This did more than break my heart.... As for my other projects, they will continue without interruption (one project I'm working on is a surprise for everyone! :D), and it's good to get the KBoP back into the running! I also have another Star Trek project ramping up soon (unrelated to the surprise)
