  1. Oh, Ok. I've heard about the sequels to M7, but I've never watched any of it. I'll take your word for it that they bad. I've even heard it they made a TV version of M7, but never watched that either. I think I went from watching the original M7 to the Sergio Leone films and to The Wild Bunch film back in the day.
  2. I haven't watched it in a while, but other than the ride off, I think those are mostly promo pics. That said. You should really go watch it. Rental or otherwise. It's very much worth it. It's got Charles Bronson, man! And Yul Brynner's even more badass than him in the old film! Calvera's also one of most entertaining villain of all time. And in contrast fwiw, in the original Kurosawa film Seven Samurai, the villains there were really cardboard one-dimensional stand-ins. No distinctive character or personalities. Only Mifune and a few of the villagers have actual character personalities.
  3. Yeah. Still quite an expensive $250 fighter-only toy that is not even in DYRL colors, tho...

    Hi-Metal R

    I would want these in DX-Chogokin scale, tho. Still hoping Arcadia will do a 1/60 version if Bandai passes on 'em...

    Hi-Metal R

    I don't quite get why the CF-1A promo pics on Tamashii-web has DYRL-head, DYRL-hands, and DYRL-pilot. Yet it has TV brown-feet. The magazine-scan has TV clown-hands and TV-head.
  6. Well, I reckon they just can't since there's only just two to three actual stars in it among the ensemble. That said, I really wish they'd gotten Christopher Walken in it...
  7. This upcoming Saber from Alter looks really very nice... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-018718 1/7 (230mm tall) 11/16 release-date
  8. Which one are you talking about? The one with Keanu? That one was made and produced by the Japanese themselves. This new M7 is not out, yet. It will not be a Seven Samurai remake. It will be a Magnificent Seven remake. Classic cowboys and desperados, instead of ronins.
  9. Spaghetti westerns are always good. The original Magnificent Seven film was way above it in terms of excellence. The original was a great badass film and such a classic collection of great actors working well together. Denzel and Ethan are great actors, too, so this remake will not be just another run-of-the-mill crap and will instead be really awesome. Based on the pic, Denzel will do Yul Bryner's character. Wonder who exactly is gonna reprise Steve McQueen's character. Pratt or Ethan? Regardless, eagerly looking forward to it!
  10. Ok. The ankle is not as free-swinging anymore as earlier. Reckon the Future did coated it a bit. I felt the knee is not quite as loose as earlier, too, but not really sure. Overall, it still tips over by itself, so I might have to use another compound or something. However, I tried just repositioning the feet to be more diagonal from the legs and pointing opposite each other, and that seems to make it a lot more stable and well-balanced in battroid-mode. It doesn't tip over anymore. More solid now. Still quite an ugly battroid to my eyes, but at least it's not a flailing drunk anymore. So, pic...
  11. Uhmm, yeah. Just confirmed that my copy's left knee joint is also loose. So, left-knee and left ankle both loose, with the left ankle free swinging. Can't leave it in Battroid-mode on my shelf as it tips both forward and back. No balance and can't hold a free standing neutral pose unless I put the legs in ultra-wide stance. Even then, it still seems like a shelf-diving hazard. I've put Future on the joints and just hoping it'll add enuff coating stuff to give both joints some resistance. I now really envy Jenius' tighter Yamato version. :sigh:
  12. Got mine last week, after sitting in my pw for awhile. Noticed the left-ankle/flap a bit loose, but ignored it as normal. Transformed it to Battroid-mode last nite. Left-foot is totally damn loose. Not just the ankle-flap, but the whole tilt assembly. No friction or whatever. Right-foot assembly is totally fine, in contrast. Think Future polish can fix the looseness?
  13. I heard you guys like Shockwave. So I got Shockwave showing Shockwave handling Shockwave...
  14. My Mighty Shockwave MP-29 arrives! It is so damn fantastic! Still wish Takara included the classic annoying sound-effects of my old AstroMagnum/G1...
  15. Uhmm... Yo, Mike! a figure fer yah! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-018377 1/6 9/16 release includes Tentacles as accessory...
  16. Thanks, man! I reckon mechaninac paid about the same amount. Thanks, dude. I don't usually trust virtual shipping calc, but it's appreciated.
  17. You kinda didn't specify the actual shipping-fees that they charged you for your SAL. How much was your actual shipping-fees in yen?
  18. Anybody actually bit on this? How much is N-Y actually charging for shipping-fees on this with that discounted pricing?
  19. If Arcadia ever re-do the 1/48, they better make sure to improve upon the stupid chicken hands.
  20. Business-wise and in these economic times, it'll be more profitable for Arcadia to do a bundle rather than to sell FPs separately.
  21. So, they're going for the TV bright-white now instead of the old DYRL dirty-white for this DYRL Roy. Hopefully it don't have the pinkish-hue shenanigans this time...
  22. Nice! So they didn't lose the license, then?
  23. Whats next for Arcadia? Get bought by TakaraTomy. So I can have an official 1/60v2 Jetfire in Jetfire-colors again. What?
  24. Heads up! Sentinel/T-Rex's Black Getter and Getter 1 is getting re-released in 9/16!
