    And like a chump, I bought both... ...despite only minor differences in scale... ...and virtually identical paint app's. It's definitely my favorite Constitution variant, however.

    I take it you guys aren't fans of the highly-stylized Metal Build EVAs, then? Personally, I think the recent RAH NEO "New Paint Version" is the definitive EVA-01, both because of the articulation and the accessories included.

    I heartily concur. Yep.

    Hasbro held back a few hundred of the Khetanna to sell on eBay to international buyers -- Hong Kong, Australia, and the UK, at least -- and sold them all in less than eight minutes.

    I finally resurrected my Tsukuda Hobby vinyl EVAs, after over a decade in storage...

    BB-8 is still a huge draw here in Japan... ... and Porgs never were.

    The picture is for illustrative purposes only. Not intended for the visually-impaired.

    Nice Bug! Stands 10cm tall, which makes it (and the soldier figures) about 1:32 scale. And at a retail price of ¥11000, it's only about twice what I'd be willing to pay.

    Well, it just got a whole lot more PVC... My virgin shelves got violated a lot more quickly than I'd anticipated. At least the bulk of my anime figures aren't languishing in boxes anymore... most of these have been in the closet for the past five years. Now, where the hell am I gonna put MP Menasor and Bruticus?

    While Prime's "First Edition" series was a particular stand-out... ...there were many satisfying, show-accurate figures in the toy line. The only ones I wouldn't recommend here are Airachnid and Knock Out.

    Two episodes in, and already Picard is being outshined by his Romulan maid, Laris. She has to shoulder the bulk of the exposition, but Orla Brady performs her with such conviction and dignity that Laris has quickly become the most compelling character. I'm really hoping she doesn't get left behind on Earth. #TeamLaris

    Nah, the PG kits are only 1:60 scale. The Hyper Hybrid Gundams, however... They remain the biggest robot toys ever mass-produced.

    Hey, what's that cool-looking car... a "Night Striker?" It that a model kit? I'll have to Google it. crap, it transforms?! Damn, I gotta get me one of those! Edit: Found one on Amazon.jp for ¥22,000. Bought!

    I got that beat... I removed the doors (and one perpendicular side) from each of these Detolf knock-offs, and used them as shelves to bridge the two showcases. This way, I've effectively quadrupled the display space. Is there anything more beautiful that virgin shelves?

    I just reached in and twisted out my springs with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. No need to be any more invasive than that.

    My trick, from the very beginning, was to treat Discovery as part of the Kelvin timeline. It's impossible to accept as a TOS prequel, but it fits right in with the pacing, the visual aesthetic, the characterization of Spock, and the revisionist take on the Federation presented in J.J.'s Trek films.

    I like the cute little girl in the "7G" T-shirt, but she just barely fits into "maneuver slave" mode... How's an adult male supposed to pilot that? Usually, I complain that the pilot figure's too small; this time, it's the bike that's too small.

    You mean the so-called "Bioroid Terminator?" God, that name is wrong in so many ways it makes my head hurt.

    Much appreciated, @nhyone! Thanks for the translation and summary. Incidentally, a company presents itself to the public using "PR," and "marketing" is how they present their products. "Propaganda" concerns social or political ideology, not toy robots.

    Is that supposed to be a Shattered Glass Optimus variant, or an Evangelion homage?

    You have a twisted sense of humor.

    Do you mean to suggest the Fast and Furious movies were intended for adults?
  23. tekering
    Expectations of continuity or character consistency should be tempered with the knowledge that both the films and the AO series are explicitly set in an "alternate universe" that has no bearing on the events of the original Eureka Seven. They're no more canon than DYRL or Macross II.

    Except when Michelle Paradise took over ("Project Daedalus"), and suddenly the bridge crew were all buddy-buddy in the mess hall... just long enough to convince us that Airiam's death would have an emotional impact.
