    Yes, the reissue shipped earlier this month.

    I'm very happy with how well this week's acquisitions scale with my N-gauge city diorama... An epic showdown is imminent!

    X-Plus Gigantic Series Godzilla 2019 has stomped his way into my city diorama! Most expensive figure I've ever bought.

    Oh, his camouflage scheme looks more like a remedial art school project.

    Bandai knows what sells, I guess. While this will be much too big for an HM-R display, I'd get one anyway... even if you have no intention of building it. You can always sell it off if-and-when you decide you don't want it, and likely make a profit for your trouble.

    Looking good, @jenius.

    Well, I sure as hell will!

    The same analogy can be applied to a host of recent sequels, reboots and spin-offs... and that's the real danger of appealing to nostalgia. You're treading on "holy ground" for many. That's usually the case with any show, of course, and yet some of them build up impossible expectations based on decades-old first impressions... leading to inevitable disappointment and fan backlash. Star Wars is likely the worst offender in this category... with Star Trek a close second.

    Aside from the undersized Shogo figure (which is admittedly, a problem with every transformable Garland toy), the Arcadia is perfect. Can't wait for their Photo-Garland to ship!

    The figure's based on the Part III costume, so that was my poor attempt to homage the 3D gimmick. I placed lots of little LEDs to provide the appropriate lighting.

    Where's the pre-order?

    Just her, but the original four moto-slaves were identical, just color-coded for each of the four girls... so I'm painting one for each of the Atelier Sai hardsuit figures to ride.

    Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy Friday the 13th.

    The Decepticons in Age of Extinction weren't Transformers at all, they were colonies of nanobots that could form any object at will. Your "primitive mind" understands the core concept of the brand much better than Michael Bay or Ehren Kruger ever will.

    But these aren't toys, and they aren't marketed to boys. Kitz Concept labels them as "collectibles," and they're sold to adult males, who typically prefer female characters... especially in Japan.

    No transformable motorcycle fan should be without one! I actually own four of those kits.

    "Inevitable?" You're certainly optimistic!

    If this actually happens, it will be the first time in history that the fourth film of two successful franchises -- both starring the same actor -- are released on the same day.

    That's correct. JJ looked at everything they'd shot with Carrie but hadn't used back in 2015, and wrote new scenes around her dialogue to incorporate the footage into Episode 9.

    Heat the area with a hair dryer, and see if the mark fades. They usually do. If it doesn't, you'll know the piece is under significant stress.

    I don't like any of the VF-31 head designs, but they're a damn sight better than those hideous Jet Troopers. Yuck. Plus, the visibility must really suck in those helmets.
  22. tekering
    That formula is much older than you realize.

    Sure it could be worse. Just look at any of Michael Bay's Transformers films. Waiting for Godzilla to show up in a Godzilla movie is just like waiting for the Transformers to show up in a Transformers movie, isn't it? I just hope Godzilla vs. Kong isn't as po-faced as King of the Monsters was. Toho knew it was a stupid concept way back in '62, and had the common sense to treat it like the goofy comedy it was...

    I think you'll find Sentinel's bikes are compatible with a wide variety of action figure lines... ...including TBLeague's seamless 1:12 figures.

    The real tragedy is watching "The Beginning" (the feature-length documentary which chronicles the making of The Phantom Menace in great detail) and seeing a much better child actor make it to the final audition round... only to be passed over in favor of Lloyd because he was less "consistent." Still, I find Lloyd's performance to be much more palatable than Hayden Christensen's.
