    Cheese only is great. It is those people, some in every crowd, that insist on buying at least one everything pizza for a pizza party and not enough of the kind that everyone actually eats...

    The Gorilla God's Go-To Girl is... quite something. I'm not completely certain what, but it's definitely something! It's the story of a girl in a fantasy world who just wants a slow life and to be normal... only to find out at a coming-of-age sort of ceremony when teens receive a blessing from animal spirits/gods that confers special abilities that she's found the favor of the Gorilla god. So this petite little lass who wants nothing more than to fly under the radar finds herself all but drafted into the knighthood because her blessing confers MASSIVE (and unladylike) speed, strength, and resilience far beyond what the men around her have... catapulting her into a reverse harem sort of situation where she's got a few prettyboy knights all surrounding her. Once Upon a Witch's Death is also quite something. The story of a witch's apprentice in what appears to be an alternate Earth where magic is just a thing nobody really questions, who is told by her mentor on her 17th birthday that she's going to die in a year because of an inherited death curse. So this slightly bratty witch has to collect 1,000 tears of pure joy in order to concoct a magical solution that will prevent her from dying on her 18th birthday. Aside from its incredibly genki protagonist, it's pretty much just the protagonist going around causing Hallmark moments with magic. Nothing to write home about.

    So, two points here... both of which make it worse. The O'Neill cylinder-type space colonies used in Gundam's Universal Century (and other timelines) typically have a population of several million people, not thousands. Those people aren't usually alive by the time the colony is launched as an improvised ballistic projectile. One of the many, MANY war crimes perpetrated by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War was the use of poison gas to indiscriminately massacre the populations of entire colonies in the Federation-aligned Sides. Island Iffish, the colony from Side 2 that was used in the original colony drop ("Operation British"), had its population gassed to death with GG gas as part of Zeon's preparations to convert the colony into a ballistic weapon. Just in case the audience needed to be reminded that the Principality of Zeon's forces are Complete Monsters, the previously backstory-only massacre was animated as part of Mobile Suit Gundam: the Origin's fifth episode showing how unbothered those Principality forces planning and carrying out the massacre were. (Ironically Stardust Memory depicts the rest of the Zeon forces as being disgusted by this after the fact, to the extent of deliberately leaving the forces responsible for it behind during the retreat to Axis.) As for the goal of colony drops... well... it's usually a terror weapon, meant to cause mass death through both the impact and the environmental damage caused by such a huge object impacting Earth's surface. The Zabis were arguably the most reserved of the lot, aiming only to destroy Earth Federation Forces HQ in a massive nuke-proof underground complex in South America. Delaz's forces tried to cause mass starvation by dropping a colony on central North America to destroy farmland, the Titans were trying to destroy a factory-city (Von Braun) that was supporting the AEUG, and both Neo Zeon and Char's New Neo Zeon were trying to destroy the Federation capital (wiping out Dublin, Ireland and Lhasa, Tibet in the process.) Char's endgame was different, though... he wanted serial colony drops to render Earth completely uninhabitable rather than just win some war. Char wasn't a cyber-newtype. Mind you, this timeline's Char might be more insane than the one in the main UC timeline. Zeon didn't lose the war, but he sure as hell did. He wasn't able to carry out his plan to arrange the deaths of the entire Zabi family under the cover of the One Year War the way he did in the prime timeline. According to promotional materials...

    Berserk Musou was a fun romp - highly recommended for fans of the manga. It doesn't get more retro than this, I ran into it at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas - Computer Space, the first coin-op arcade video game: Unfortunately, it was out of order, so I couldn't play a piece of video game history.

    OK, I misunderstood you. I originally read "I'd prefer a figure that looked more like Fortress Maximus and less like a lazy Metroplex retool" as a critique of Big Mac, not a reference to the Has/Tak one. I definitely feel the same way. I part of me wants to replace my Takara Metroplex with the Siyang Vladivostok for a similar Geewunniness. Well, especially if I'm going to have to pay a 145% markup due to tariffs, price is definitely a concern. But after playing with a bunch of big combiners and Titan-class toys, no, bigger isn't always better. I mean, 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, it's all still too small to be in-scale with Has/Tak's mainline figures, let alone any MP-style stuff, so I'd rather they just cap out around 45cm. Big enough to convey that they're big, small enough to still work onto a shelf and handle without a team of assistants.

    If you have a Switch, I really loved Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Fire Emblem Warriors: The Three Hopes. For a more classical mixup vs Lu Bu Dynasty Warriors 8 is good (9 was TERRIBLE). I haven't played Origins yet. Samurai Warriors 4 is good if you like Sengoku history, and if you're a fan of Dragon Quest both of the Dragon Quest Warriors games were good. For Gundam specifically it's Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, but in the US it was only released as a digital PS3 game. I never got into the Orochi games or the One Piece ones.

  15. megatron-uk started following Arii 1/20000 kits - bonus figures
  16. megatron-uk
    Hi, I had a full set (all 4 models) of the old 1/20000 Arii ship kits (including doubles of two of them) sitting in my backlog of models for a good 25 years or more. I finally pulled them out, opened the shrink wrap and have been assembling them over the last month or so (another post about those - the quality and fit leaves a lot to be desired; the progress in kit design in the intervening years has spoiled me!). What I didn't realise is that these must have come from either a limited run or a special release as they all contain a random, sealed (a stapled opaque black bag) bonus figure (approx 4" high). They're a mix of characters; I found these: Quamzin Roy Fokker, standing, formal dress suit Hikaru Ichijyo, standing, formal dress suit Minmay, swimsuit Minmay, dress I have 6 kits, but one was without shrink-wrap and did not include the random figure. I haven't been able to find a list of figures included in this run of the Zentradi ships. Does anyone know which figures were produced?
