heh, okay sorry. it's just on this board, things seem to be black and white... either you're a yamato hater and will take every oppertunity to express endless rage and venom... or you're a lover and every stress crack and design flub is just a beauty mark to be adored.

okay, seriously... yes, the chest piece does have someplay to it. but I honestly don't get why it bothers you so much.

well, considering Graham told us about the replacement arms back in january and that we should have final word in a month or two... and given it's now 5 months later... for a problem which was designed into the product... that yamato admitted it messed up on... no. I don't think the "whiners" are the problem here.

wow... I'm passing on the toynami ride armor but this looks pretty darn good. I just hope it can hold a pose.

yup, I don't jiggle any of my toys much. I suppose if I ran around the house with them making swooshing and laser sounds, I would be more annoyed with jiggly chest plates... but mostly I pose them or transform them so I'm rather happy with the chest plates. the feet on the other hand... those piss me off.

kinda neat... kind of like a primer on what a live action movie *could* look like.

stop shaking it then.

yeah, I know how to transform it... I have two and neither one will lock into place, unlike the 0A which stays up just fine. And BoB, the other guys are right, the chest plate in battroid does lock in and doesn't jiggle. YOU'RE doing it wrong

still no word?

oh, no doubt. I think the VF-0 *sculpt* is the finest yamato has done so far.

brittle shoulders back pack that doesn't stay up in battroid feet that don't lock into place gunpod that doesn't fit into the arm pegs for stowing in fighter mode. all in all, the worst yamato release since their early macross plus attempts.

look at my avatar. you want to wait.

don't worry, we're finding other topics to apply our infinite wisdom and talent to nitpick and complain about.

bah forget it. Nolan took great pains to ground his version of batman and setup rules as to what was "realistic." IMO, the plastic joker grin of joker and his purple suited comic outlandishness just wouldn't work. Also.. there's a far cry in the custumes of batman begins and the campy halloween flavor of the burton movies and their crap spawn sequels.

yeah, both thematically and stylisticly. Neither the scarecrow nor ras al ghul were dressed up lke halloween characters. Batman does pull out can's of bat-rope-looseners out of his shiny utility belt. He doesn't have drawn on eyebrows. He isn't the bestest there is at everything in the world. I honestly don't get why you're in such a poo over this joker. Every joker has his face contorted into a clown's grin. Even the Alex Ros painitng you posted has joker with his grin on. This joker just has the grin because it was carved into his face. Why does this bother you so much? Nolan is obviously trying to make a dark belivable world that is true in spirit to the comics without being slavishly so. Besides, I would think you fo all people wouln't mind someone taking a different take with someone else's material.. given your affinity for T3... which basically took a giant poo all over T2.

jeebus, I hope yama... err... microsoft can make a fully functional 360 that doesn't burn out by the time halo 3 comes out. hopfully the smaller die version will be more stable.

is the title of this movie a joke?

yeah, I saw that as well. All I know is when I see sony doing stuff like this, it makes me want to hold off buying a PS3 even more.

it's all about fitting thematically and stylisticly with nolan's vision of batman. it's fine if you're not on board, at least you have T4 to look forward to.

yeah, it's been twice as long now as when graham first broke this news.

yeah... on the tracks leading to suckville.

not really, there's a pretty clear path to the creation of the heros in WC3... C&C had unique hero characters that the player either had to keep alive or use to compelte a mission. SC did the same. WC3 then made them upgrade-able. C&C introduced units that gained experience, blizzard took that idea as well. Dune 2, released in 1992 had three distinct factions. Again, blizzard doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, they just make it better.

can you guys take your debate to another thread?

bleh. cartoon looking clown make up and purple leisure suits belong in the comics and in cartoons. Bring on scared and psycho!

OMG, that trailer had more gore in 5 minutes then some action movies have in 2 hours.
