  1. Grey Hulk and Jeffries Concept Shuttlecraft. This shuttlecraft is fricking amazing. It’s a fantastic model and I wish it were the official shuttlecraft.
  2. I technically still have a Facebook account but don’t remember the password anymore. What, and how many, people are bitching about it? I wonder what the age of the people whining about it are too? I know Robo admitted he wasn’t thrilled but he was out of the comics game by that point but he was still interested and usually gives things a chance anyway. They didn’t pick the best characters for the wave, that’s for sure. Rogue would have likely been more popular. Wild child but no Sabertooth is odd. Morph doesn’t need to be made regardless of which universe he’s from. And the Wolverine head sculpt is crap. But having the Weapon X team right off the bat is nice to have. I wonder if they’ll be more kind to Jean and give us an X-Factor version sometime too?
  3. You're a minority about buying AoA stuff? Realistically any person who read X-Men in the mid 90's who still collects figures will likely be gobbling them up. I know I will be. I still have all of those old issues bagged up. My concern is they aren't going to do all of the teams and will only Cherry Pick specific characters. I just realized what would be perfect, if they make an AoA Storm she'll have the cropped short hair. That same head sculpt with the shorter hair could be reused to make the Storm figure from Uncanny 275-277 as well. Grey Hulk should be arriving today.
  4. Is it just a feeling or do you know something we don't?
  5. I think I'm going to contact HLJ and ask them if I can just pay them extra to send me replacements because AE are dicks and won't respond anymore. No more purchases from them.
  6. They need to hurry up and deliver interesting toys that are late rather than releasing stupid mascot toys.
  7. I laughed at lot more and a lot harder than I have at any other modern movie the last decade, that's for sure. Though with my deep knowledge of the Spider-Man comics I guessed every single beat of the film correct, except for the first Peter being blonde. I assumed he was Ben Reilly but that never came up.
  8. That comparison is interesting. Because of the placement of the lower chest on the Yammie it makes the backpack look higher which is actually correct. On the Bandai the chest is higher, which is in the correct position, but it puts the backpack at the same level, which is not correct. Thicker arms on the Yammie looks better, I agree. Legs are clearly more accurate on the Bandai one. It appears Bandai focused on Battroid and that explains the more stubby nose cone. If the nose cone were as long as the Yammie it would extend past the knees, which it does not in the lineart. The 21 may be one of the hardest to nail in all modes. Comparing the back of the fighters, the Yammie seems a bit too wide and the Bandai seems a bit too narrow. Though from directly behind I think I appreciate how the Bandai version's spacing looks a bit more, though the MASSIVE afterburners next to the tail fins does not look as good. The 21 is pretty much impossible to get right in all three modes at once. Both Bandai and Arcadia got the 19 to look pretty close in all three modes but the 21 simply has to be overly-compromised one way or another.
  9. I guess these Expanded Universe designs can't all be like the Bonaventure.
  10. Here's both of the STO models. I think they both look fairly awful, really. Well.. the Chimera is so-so, but not a great design IMO. It barely feels like it's Federation.
  11. Oh, I somehow missed the IrishTrekkie video on this. Looks like they're doing the Reliant Concept (i.e. upside down), the Pike version of the 1701. An XL K'Tinga. The Dreadnought version of the D as well. They're actually going to do an XL version of the Ent J... I've never played STO but the Gagarin is clearly just a retooled Discovery ship. Nothing too exciting IMO.
  12. My work computer is not displaying some of these images anymore...
  13. I forwarded them the instructions from Arcadia the other day anyway.
  14. I've been asking for 275 for years now. Outside of Wolverine (and Forge and Banshee but they don't count because that's their only costume) no manufacturer has ever made any of the other characters from that book in those costumes. If I had the time I'd go to a con and ask Dwight and Co about stuff like that. The regulars never ask about things like that although I've brought it up on their channels many times when they've asked for questions before going to the cons.
  15. Which STO ships have they announced? I haven't seen that.
  16. Figuarts scale. Slightly less than 1/12. The spining hammer accessory is WAY too heavy for the figuarts joints to hold up though. Ebay. Or Amazon Japan. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07TSQ36RW/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=NOTAS&qid=1572737222&sr=8-14 Got a pile of stuff today too. NOTAS parts, Movie Realization Kylo Ren and First Order Storm Trooper, two Figuarts Stormtroopers, Figuarts RotJ Vader and not pictured is Luigi’s Mansion 3.
