  1. Even though I really hate the Actress and the way they included the character into the MCU/Endgame I went ahead and bought Captain Marvel because I do really like her costume design from the end of the film (minus the hair...) I'm hoping the Gauntlet from Iron Spider fits on The Hulk figure they already put out.
  2. Interesting. The advantage of the Iron Man and Cap are that they look suitably dirty like from the final fight but it's too little too late in a lot of ways. And double dipping effing sucks. I hate Captain Marvel but I do really like the costume design. The Mandelorian doesn't look any better than the Hasbro version, really. Palpatine is weird. It kind of seems like part of his robe is soft goods. The hood doesn't, and the sitting version looks terrible. For the most part the Hasbro one does the job too. Rescue looks damn fine though, and they actually gave her proper accessories.
  3. I am down.
  4. They’re always a month late with imports.
  5. Damn, they haven't even shipped my WW yet.
  6. Amazon Japan still says Dec 3-6 for shipping.
  7. I don't know what this is and I don't care. Would be great if they released something interesting. Or stuff I've had on pre-order for over a year.
  8. Man, Sentinel really puts the other companies to shame. Just look at that difference... There's PLENTY of reason to understand the price point of this thing just doing a quick side-by-side. I'm 100% sure this is not just fan art. Do those forearm recesses connect to the stand adapter? Because we've already pretty much seen how the connection will work based on that adapter. What do you think they will be for? I mean, if a slot in the forearms were used to connect to the Tread then you wouldn't be able to transform it while connected so they have to be for something else. It comes with a fully articulated pilot and bike to sit on. I think the link enphily is referring to is the ameblo blog. Chrome will actually auto-translate that for you, but you still have to kinda figure out what they're trying to get at. It's how we discovered a stand is coming with it too.
  9. That looks like the tree I made for my Dad out of old Micro Machines.
  10. Revo Wonder Woman.
  11. I suppose it isn't surprising, the Ride Armors came with stands too.
  12. The Adult Lego thing is applicable because the law is ludicrously broad. The interview with the head of the FTC on C-Span was interesting. He said anything that is deemed as of an interest for kids means they will assume kids are watching and therefore you can be fined. That's damn near everything really. No toys, most movies, cars, video games, comic books. It's so broad that you could shut down almost anything. Talking about Star Wars, like on Doomcocks channel, could be considered of enough interest to a kid to justify a fine. From the my understood perspective a channel like Trekyards would have to be considered for Kids. I'd have watched the hell out of stuff like that if Youtube were around when I was six or seven. The second half, the bit about Youtube having the right to delete your channel if it isn't profitable, is tinfoil nonsense. They've always had that right, nobody was paying attention until they realized they really might be 100% demonitized because of the FTC ruling and that could give legitimate reason for Youtube to pull the plug on them. But it's always been there. Anthony from AnthonysCustoms has two fairly well thought out explanations on what the law is and what it does without going overboard or panicking. For a guy who isn't a lawyer, anyway. But potential $42,000 per infraction is pretty incredible, enough to make anybody sit back and wonder if they really want to risk it on something that seems so nebulous.
  13. That blog has useful bits. It also comes with a stand. Looks like the same one the prototype above is posed on.
  14. To be accurate this isn't based of of the Anime designs. Some of the changes are what are affecting the look for both the feet being tucked in and the nose cone being hidden. If you look at the original design the root of the legs is tucked way up near the chest intakes. On this redesign the torso is longer and the legs/hips are too. That means the legs are shorter and so the feet will tuck in further in Fighter mode. The elongated torso also means it will better hide the nose cone when in Soldier Mode.
  15. Oh s.h.i.t a Mafex Carnage!?! SOLD. They've made my absolute favorite Spider-Man and Venom figures so far. What other accessories does he come with? That looks like a fully sculpted arm. That Supes looks damn good too. Mafex and Mezco are convincing me to buy DC stuff. Damn, Mafex just GETS comic-book proportions.
  16. A knee or shin rotation does tend to help with posing options but the obvious hip articulation just from the transformation and the apparent ankle rocker based on the photos it should be able to pose pretty well.
  17. This is not true, it is larger than an HMR VF-1. It's roughly the height of the previous ride armor if you measured to the top of the wheels on the backpack. Looking at the size of the Tread and converting to 1/48 scale. The Treads fighter mode would be fifteen inches wide at this scale. You really want that to be LARGER? Look at the wing span for the SV-51 before answering that. With a fully connected Legioss/Tread combo you'd have a fighter mode that is 15 1/2 inches long with a wing span of fifteen inches. You're looking at the length of the 1/3000 SDF-1 with the wing span over the 1/60 SV-51. I don't want these toys to be any larger than they are now.
  18. Why wouldn't it be? The VF-1 is MASSIVE compared to the Legioss. There's an awful lot of strange bitching about height going on here.
  19. Depends where you order from. Amazon does a straight conversion. You won't get away with anything being smaller. Nippon-Yasan will WAY overcharge you if you pay in Dollars versus yen and I'll always pay in yen there.
