    Hunh. He's an F-14/F-15/F-18/VF-1... The tailplanes having a greater span than the wings looks really really weird with the wings swept back though.

    I think Zero is near the bottom, story-wise, but I love the Sv-51, and to a lesser degree the 0D. (have NO desire for a 0A/0S, never have and never will buy one). But I've been waiting a decade for a 0D. The least they could do is get the main color right.
  3. David Hingtgen
    VF-0D looks worryingly "blue", it's as intense a blue as Max's -1J. Which it most certainly shouldn't be. ::edit:: Here's a quick tweak I did, to try to match the actual OVA/boxart. Left original, right mine. Grey-blue, not *BLUE!*. Not the color of Max's 1J. Yeesh, did Arcadia actually watch Zero?

    Not TV-style, not purchasing. Serously, why do they only do the more complex/detailed DYRL ones? TV-style should be much cheaper/quicker/easier to produce....

    A big chunk of the movie's enjoyment is based on "how much do you like Batman" (and even Batman memes). Do you enjoy HISHE-style Batman? Because that's the Batman here. (which is a hilariously awesome Batman IMHO) PS---if you really like Lego Batman, be sure to stay for the whole credits to hear the whole Batman song. (there is no after-credits scene though, so there's no reason to stay besides the soundtrack---including the Everything is Awesome remix)

    Very good, but not quite amazing/epic. Best line in the movie is "meow". (really!) That, or Batman's last line. Tons of stuff for anyone of any age though, EVERY generation/series is referenced.

    They don't move, they're just "carved into the head". (never seen a valk talk yet!)

    So he's got a mouth over his mouthplate?
  9. David Hingtgen
    If I can get one from HLJ, I'll get one. Otherwise no---not worth the hassle/cost. Especially when there may be YF-30 repaints to get...

    Really, the one place it needs chrome most of all, are the stacks. And they don't even get silver PAINT, much less chrome. And doing the bumper that way just looks weird. "Please ignore that mis-matched outer half-inch on each side".

    Yeah, Winter Soldier's identity seems to be "less-known" among movie-goers and superhero-fans than I thought. I mean, I've never read any Captain America comics ever, and I know who he is. (and it was rumored/set-up in the other movies of the "Avengers" series) (trying to be as non-spoilery as possible)

    Reverse is also true---we never saw an alt-mode on-screen for Shockwave.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Many? Silver-grey Swoop, Silver-grey Grimlock, Silver-Grey Galva-Magnus-Motormaster-Tron, Dark silver-Grey Lockdown... One bright green 'bot doesn't counteract all the other new ones being "more of the same".

    Animated is the best overall series IMHO. Beast Wars has a greater story/arc, but Animated is just plain FUN. It redefined Blitzwing (in a good way) and introduced Bulkhead who is now a staple. That's a big accomplishment. And heck, Animated Shockwave is more "G1 Shockwave" than the actual G1 toon was!

    Would appreciate an "X hours from now" post when the time is known/likely. Converting from Tokyo to Eastern to Central to "late Monday vs early Tuesday" and taking into account the Intl dateline etc often gets complicated.
  16. David Hingtgen
    I haven't compared their Kira-poses directly, but figured that alone cemented who it was supposed to most directly link to.
  17. David Hingtgen
    They've gotta be on ball-joints, as they're all parallel in fighter mode. Adjust to suit.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Started out good, but went on way too long. And the whole singing bit was just inane. Just show the first 15 secs, and it's a great commercial.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Piratical! (a small nitpick---really should have had black tailfins, instead of being the same grey as everything else----the black stripe on the fin is insufficient)
  20. David Hingtgen
    And it's more than just her looks---she's even playing Grace's role/acting like her.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Thank you, I kept thinking "surely SOMEONE else must see this, and it's not just me being biased towards Grace". First we get Kirara-Ranka, now we have Blonde Grace...
  22. David Hingtgen
    One of my all-time faves. Recorded many eps on VHS when it was airing.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Robots with capes/cloaks/shrouds are cool, but that's crossing the line into "robot wearing clothes" which is just inherently wrong IMHO.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Is that with the wings fully forward? Because the kite-logo is quite crooked... (I'd assume that's some weird "80% forward" position, based on the gap at the root and the panel-lines for the flaperons etc) But why use such an odd wing position to "show off" how it looks?
  25. David Hingtgen
    While blue Bluestreak is an obvious choice---"G1 main release all-silver" is just as likely, though probably lower in fan-demand.
