  1. Here's the problem: Who will chronicle Conan's new adventure now that Mako is no longer with us?
  2. It's highly subjective, but there are points in this film that shove China down our throats. The fact that China co-financed this film is the only concrete reason why the third act takes place in China and Hong Kong. I'll let this Honest Trailer explain it further.
  3. By Crom! The Oak himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, will return as the legendary Cimmerian warrior in The Legend of Conan. According to producer/co-writer Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious 3-7, 47 Ronin), the new film will not be a reboot, but a direct sequel to Conan the Barbarian (thus making Conan the Destroyer non-canon).

  4. Patrick Swayze must have rolled over his grave twice after this trailer was released.
  5. The Kingpin himself is rumored to star in the new film as an ex-cop that runs an exotic car theft ring. Vincent D'Onofrio Reportedly Cast As Villain in CHiPs Movie
  6. I don't know. I used to think AOE was better than ROTF, but in the end, it comes off as worse. Here's my comparison of the two films: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) + Better toy line than the first film, with the best transforming movie Optimus Prime (Leader Class) in the entire series. - Non-existent plot direction. - Racist stereotypes. - Inane fart jokes. - More of Sam's parents. - Devastator's balls. Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) + No more Sam Witwicky and his parents. - Non-existent plot direction. - Non-existent character development. - Way too much emphasis on why a 20-something guy dating a 17-year-old girl is legal. - Way too long of a running time for something that goes nowhere. - Way too many product placements, especially with the addition of Chinese products. - Chinese propaganda film in disguise. - Worst toy line in the series. The only saving grace is the Voyager Class Optimus Prime Evasion Mode.
  7. You just gave me a great idea. Now to find a cheap HG kit with Funnels, Bits, or Fangs.
  8. This is no surprise at all. One must wonder why she's still alive, given her past drug issues. WWE's Tammy Sytch - Pinning Down Porn Deal - '6-Figure Offer on Table'
  9. More Gunpla Porn: P-Bandai Exclusive: HGBF 1/144 Cathedral Gundam HGBF 1/144 Gundam Tryon 3 MegaHouse 1/10 PVC Gundam Girls Generation: Fumina Hoshino
  10. I could care less about the alt modes in the Gundam universe. If an MS has one, then it has one; doesn't mean I need to display it as such. As for my Mega ZII project, I'll either use the Wave Rider module as a support unit or just omit it altogether.
  11. Just wondering, what is the general consensus on the current TF series?
  12. That's because the ReZEL is derived from the ZII, which itself is based on both the Zeta Gundam and the Methuss. Besides, if your display is solely on the Gundam Unicorn timeline, the ZII will fit perfectly, as it was used by Londo Bell in the Bande Dessinee manga. If you don't like the traditional Gundam colors, go for the P-Bandai Exclusive HGUC ZII Travis Kirkland Custom. At this point, I don't understand Bandai's marketing tactics when it comes to certain MS designs. Not to bash on RE/100 (as a matter of fact, I completely welcome it, provided they're at a lower price range than MGs of similar dimensions), but what's holding them back from releasing the Dijeh in HGUC form? It is an Amuro suit after all. Is it just because it's not a Gundam?
  13. Point taken. Right now, my Gunpla collection primarily consists of HGBF and a few 00 and RG kits, but I'm slowly going back to the UC-era suits. As pointed out a few pages back, my current HGUC project is the ZII, which I'm modifying as a Gunpla Battle unit (with the HGBC Mega Ride Launcher). Hopefully, I'll have the finished product done before Christmas.
  14. Vinnie Mac returns to say goodbye to the Nassau Coliseum, one of the WWE's most historic venues.
  15. HG 00 was a huge improvement over HG SEED, as many of the kits featured double-jointed elbows and knees, shoulder swivels, and the universal hip peg joints. These features would later on be carried over to HGUC and other HG 1/144 lines. If you were to pick up a few HG 00 kits, here are the ones I recommend: 1. 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G - Awesome armament for an awesome Gunpla 2. O Gundam (Type ACD) - Excellent modern take on the RX-78-2 Gundam 3. 00 Raiser + GN Sword III - Best displayed with the Seven Sword/G armament added 4. 1.5 Gundam - Sleeker, less problematic version of the Reborns Gundam 5. 00 Qan[T] - Quirky asymmetry, but without the inherent weight problems of the MG kit You're probably wondering why I didn't include the Exia (or its numerous variants) on this list. Mind you, it's not a bad kit, but the engineering differences between it and the other kits mentioned above are tremendous. For a Gundam that specializes in close-range combat, the Exia is surprisingly lacking in a bit of articulation, with its single-jointed elbows. I was already disappointed that the Gunpla couldn't do the fencing pose from the first opening sequence. Maybe I set my hopes too high when I picked up the O Gundam as my first 00 kit.
  16. Considering that 2017 will mark the 10th anniversary of the first film, it could be that Paramount might be trying to pick up LaBeouf and Fox for nostalgic reasons. Unfortunately, they might also try to get Sam's parents in as well.
