    The head sculpt looks decent but the fingerless gloves and assault rifle look strangely "glossy" to me. Did they look that way in the movie? The again, its probably a prototype for show and tell, so they'll likely fix it up in the actual figure.

    Exactly what I plan to do.

    Satanya totally stole the show. Definitely in for a second season if they make one.

    Hot Toys is probably too busy with its Marvel movie licenses. Besides, HT is really bad when it comes to rubberized suits. If they made a thermoptic version fig, be prepared for possible chemical reactions or even plain old dry rot. As for the movie itself, just going to wait for my local cable tv network to air it. The reviews dont sound promising enough to warrant the price of a ticket.

    Ditto. I've only bought 2 valks since Yamato's demise and have pretty much switched to throwing my money at Hot Toys' Iron Man line. Frankly, its a combination of franchise fatigue and crazy prices. MacPlus is honestly the only macross (mini)series i really liked anyway, which was the only reason i put down almost 300 usd for a vf-29 isamu custom. As for the queston of whether its worth it...only if i really like the anime itself.

    Thanks for the heads up, Major! Nice to see that HT is actually including the bust with this new one. Not that I can afford it though, what with 2 expensive pre-orders lined up already. On a related note, I noticed that once again, they either didn't bother or just forgot to include the left forearm with the "rings" on them--the one used to trap the Hulk's arm. At the price they're asking for, an extra swappable forearm isn't that much to ask for, especially given the HB's rather sparse accessories.

    To be honest, I'm not a fan of the "Batfleck" suit's aesthetic--just something about the texture that I don't like. But then, I haven't watched BvS, so I might well change my mind after watching it. That said, this Knightmare fig is something I might actually put down some money for if it weren't a toy fair exclusive. IMO the Mark 27's colors are just fugly. I personally think the Stealth Armor has the best color scheme of all the MK.VII repaints.

    Truth be told, I'm also tempted to order Cap, if only to pose him fighting Tony in his Mark 46 suit. Thing is, I'd then have to get the Winter Soldier as well if and when that comes out, and I literally can't afford to open that can of Pringles. These IM suits are already brutal enough to my wallet as it is. Believe it or not, I held out on buying an Iron Man fig for 8 whole years since HT released the first MK.III, knowing it's basically collector's quicksand. I hate being right, in this particular case.

    Nice work!

    D'oh, didn't notice that! In that case, the only advantage this one has over this first version is if you already have the Mark 43. Actually, this new gimmick kind of works against itself, seeing as you're now left without a separate Mark 43 to display when you've got it "Russian dolled" into the Hulkbuster. In that sense, the first version HB gives more bang for your buck. I was never into Captain America, but that is one awesome fig.

    Glad to see Kawai Kenji there. Not sure how much hands-on influence he has in the film production, but I really liked the Shinto-inspired music in the Oshii movies; it'd be nice to hear more of that in the live-action movie.

    This cannot be good for my wallet's health. Actually, it's probably financial cyanide. Definitely too rich for my blood, sadly--already preordered the MK.I War Machine and the CA Civil War MK. 46. But for those who can spare the cash, it's a good opportunity to get the mark 43 as well if they missed it.

    Hence, my suspicion that he might have to end up as a Queenslayer.

    The problem with Cersei is that she's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. She's got some of the signature Lannister cunning, but not a lot, which makes for a very dangerous cocktail. Every apparent victory she gains just feeds her ego and overconfidence. It'll only sets her up for a longer fall, the higher she climbs.

    Lady Stoneheart.

    A perfect season finale to usher in the beginning of the end. The women rule in this last ep. Just a hunch,
  17. GU-11
    I think so, too. Come to think of it, so does Nymeria. I've totally forgotten what the show says about it, but the book had a scene where Arya dreamed/warged into Nymeria and she had a pack of her own. Might be a Chekov's gun, might not. I can never tell with Martin.

    I'm actually glad he wasn't there. Wherever there's human conflict, it almost never ends well for a dire wolf.
  19. GU-11
    I can't really comment on Oshii one way or the other. The only movies of his that I watched were the 2 GitS movie. Loved the first one, indifferent towards the sequel. He loves philosophical moping, so if you're not into that kind of stuff, it gets dull really fast.
  20. GU-11
    A most satisfying episode.
  21. GU-11
    I had Thunderhawk, Firefly, Piranha, Raven and T-Bob--a friend of mine had Manta, or whatever that purple convertible with the redhead chick was called. Those reviews sure bring back some nice childhood memories. Pray that Bay keeps his grubby hands away from it.
  22. GU-11
    What's Oshii doing there? Is he like a consultant or something?
  23. GU-11
    Fourth'ed. And yes, she's definitely channeling the T-1000 with that walk, and the way she turns her head.

    I wonder if they're homaging the Chinese market chase scene from the Oshii movie. Scarlett's almost a dead-ringer of The Major in that hair and outfit.
