    I love all of Mike's contributions, but this deserves special commendation.

    I loved Watchmen.

    Geez, am I the only one with the Blu-Rays?

    Indeed it is... as are several of the 1:12 scale figures.

    Not all Gall Force fans know that the series began as a series of photo comics in Model Graphix magazine... They were intended to market a series of garage kits that never saw mass-production. Artmic did some truly amazing design work in the '80s.

    Have you actually watched it? It's much better than Discovery, and... like, twice as good as Picard, and... I'm damning with faint praise again, aren't I?

    It's an ugly, unappealing design from a terrible, nigh-unwatchable film, but every third-party TLK Megatron has just blown me away. Incredible!

    Batman vs Spider-Man? DC vs Marvel? Warner Bros. vs Disney? Netflix, what are you doing?

    Evolution Toy did a better job than Toynami/Aoshima did.

    That sounds like a more apt description of TakaraTomy's Masterpiece figures than any third-party figure I've bought in the last few years... Most of the leading manufacturers are at least on par with HasTak, and some produce consistently higher-quality product than that.

    I forgot to add the labels...

    There are few significant differences, but ton of minor variations... To do the Dark Legioss justice, substantial remolding would be necessary.

    I've briefly turned my living room into a parking lot...

    I think it's important to maintain a sense of perspective here. With all the action and comedy elements in contemporary sci-fi, "bleak and dreary" is hardly commonplace, and could only be applied to Picard or Discovery in relation to earlier incarnations of Star Trek. These are still fun and entertaining shows, due to their commercial nature, and will never challenge the limitations of the medium in the same way that 1984 or THX-1138 did. That's what real bleak sci-fi looks like.

    Whoah, hold the phone! Where can I order that "Old Man" Logan and Xavier two-pack?
  16. tekering
    That's a substantial difference. Did you re-evaluate the scale?

    I have no problem with TakaraTomy trying to reproduce the Sunbow designs as closely as possible, nor do I condescend to those who buy them. What I take objection to is another Masterpiece Bumblebee, a third Masterpiece Optimus, or a fourth Masterpiece Starscream, when prominent characters like Mirage, Cliffjumper, Jazz, Skyfire, Trailbreaker, Gears, Brawn, Hoist, Windcharger, Huffer, Blaster, Perceptor, Seaspray, Warpath, Cosmos, Powerglide, Beachcomber, Reflector, the Insecticons, every combiner team member, every third-season Decepticon, most third-season Autobots, every single triple-changer, and every Dinobot (but one) have yet to get a Masterpiece figure. Is it any wonder the third-party scene has lasted over a decade now?

    Well, it was exactly what I expected: nerdy in-jokes are everywhere, Tawny Newsome is as obnoxious as the trailers suggested, and the humor and pacing follows the same pattern as every primetime animated sitcom has since The Simpsons established the formula three decades ago. It was better Star Trek than Picard, funnier than The Orville, and... oh, look at that. It seems I'm damning with faint praise again.

    I was lucky to score one of these shirts on the secondary market at its original ¥3500 retail price...

    That's because it basically is. Most of the same staff produced Combiner Wars in 2016, Titans Return in 2017, and Power of the Primes in 2018... Unfortunately, they were most assuredly not. Well, since it's all recycled from other Transformers media, most of it had already been shown... particularly in IDW comics like Megatron Origin.

    What could be more G1-accurate than that?

    Oh God, you've given me flashbacks...

    The pandemic has yet to affect domestic shipping rates or services in Japan. It's only the dearth of international flights that have made it impossible to ship anything out of the country.
  24. tekering
    The domestic shipping cost often depends on the relative distance between seller and buyer, as well as what specific service is requested by the buyer. Shipping is commonly calculated after the auction is concluded.
