    I‘m confused by Takaras strategy for the MP/MPG line. It feels like an amalgamation off toy ideas that the engineers at Takara find cool and interesting rather a consistent line of collectibles. I thought that had a prime opportunity of unifying the line with the switch from MP to MPG. But already after three unique figures we have a highly flawed real world alt-mode accurate combiner, super toon accurate Super Gods and a Convoy that looks like he is mocking the super toon accurate style that defined the line for the past decade, going for a more Studio OX/stylized design. Mixed in you have recolors of 10 year old molds. Maybe this is a misconception on my part but I always imagined that toy collectors that collect a line value consistency highly. Like when you collect a TV show and one of the 10 seasons has a different box. It will be interesting to see how 3rd party reacts (mainly because I‘m not collecting MPG any longer due to of the points made in this post). While I am not too smitten by the super toon accuracy I was looking forward having the G1 cast in a unified scale/style.

    When I saw AotP Red Alert for the first time I was surprised to find out he is a Voyager. Given the relative simple design of the figure it is also not a case of Deluxe size but Leader class engineering (akin to 86 Hot Rod). But seeing him next to Deluxe Hotshot he is taller and has a lot of mass to it. And seeing all the details that Hasbro added to it (like the paint apps on the front and the red cross markings). However, I feel like he has an odd silhouette. Too boxy chest, not enough definition in the lower abdomen and oddly proportionate legs make him feel off to me, compared to the lineart I found online. Maybe it is the missing gray for his midsection?

    I‘m unsure when and if I should replace my OLED Switch. I still have a big backlog of games and the performance of the Switch never was a concern to me since all the indie games I played run mighty fine. I’m not a fan of TotK (but loved BotW) so I’m not that excited for a 3D Zelda game but a Mario Odyssey 2 or M:Prime 4 might make a purchase worthwhile. Mario Kart games play mostly the same for me so Mario Kart 9 doesn’t have a big draw for me.

    @mikeszekely I really enjoy all the character write-ups on the character background in the beginning of the reviews for the (hopefully) 13 Primes.

    I was talking about the F/A-XX program: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F/A-XX_program I should be more careful with my answers on a message board full of aviation geeks.

    I‘m confused why the NGAD contract is going to Boeing. I thought they are Going to develop the F-18 successor for the Navy. What is Lockheed-Martin supposed to build once all the F-35 are built? Hopefully Boeing learned from its defeat in the JSF program and designed a beautiful looking jet.

    I think I have to binge watch the next season of Solo Leveling; after the Chimera Ant arc*. This week‘s episode was very intense but I feel like it is ramping up the shonen power creep way to quickly. The other S-Rank Hunters are already at Krillin’s Yamcha‘s level before the end of the second season. * this is not meant to be original just find it funny that it also has ants.

    I agree that a breather was needed but they decided to start the next arc, something shocking happened and the episode ends.

    These Solo Leveling cliffhangers are starting to kill me. Why do they have to end where they end. 🥲

    @mikeszekely, I can understand why Ginrai feels too small in hand compared to other MP offerings. That’s why I thought the MPG line will have a unified, smaller scale, more in line with Raiden and Ginrai moving forward. However, given that Liftticket and Black Ironhide are recolors of old MP toys and released under MPG makes me question that. I guess we will know once we see images of the rumored MPG Convoy. Maybe it will be smaller than MP-44 and closer to Ginrai in size.

    I would assume they had to redo the moulds since the original ones are probably nowhere to be found. That said, the whole M.A.S.K. line is only around 50 releases. I think I have more Gundams and Masterpiece Transformers in my collection.

    Ahw, now you are hurting me feelings. Anyhow, after these all that is left are Chrono Trigger figures and I‘m done with Bring Arts. Hm, maybe if they do FF8 figures and G.F.s I might be interested too?

    So the Loyal Subjects one are basically reissues of the original toys? Owning a Rhino has been a lifelong dream for me. But I really don’t want to start a new toy collection.
