    A true single-engine VF!?!? I can't wait to see that thing transformed!

    After the mess that was the AvP franchise, I was really skeptical of Predators, but that one turned out to be incredibly enjoyable, and this one looks just as good, so I'm allowing myself to be hyped. Both tweaked (or seems to have tweaked, in the case of The Predator) with the Predator formula in a way the other movies didn't, which makes them stand out amongst the crowd.

    The forum telling me this was a hot thread made me assume some hot new release must've been announced. I'm guessing based on a quick perusal of the last few posts, that's decidedly not the case?

    Phew. I'm guessing no one here saw this this weekend? I just got back, and I gotta say, if you don't see this... ...you won't miss much. It's not bad, it's not particularly good, its just here to do its job and collect a paycheck. It's made the leap completely from grounded, speculative science fiction to loose sci-fi fantasy, even more so than the last movie. It doesn't do anything that the earlier movies haven't already done. It continues the last movie's trend of finally executing on plot ideas that had been bandied about for decades now... ...but also continues the last movie's trend of not doing so very intelligently, instead favoring mass appeal. Oh well. It is what it is. You'll probably enjoy it if you see it, but your life won't be any poorer if you don't.

    Maybe I read it wrong, but I thought they received only the courtesy warning email and their account was not yet deactivated?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    With more and more Gunpla being distributed internationally for prices more and more comparable to local Japan prices, it's getting harder for me to justify purchasing Gunpla from them. But since my Gunpla collecting has gone down and my other kit collecting has gone way way up, I still have plenty of reason to buy from them. Plus all the other weird Japanese things that they stock, and their customer service, etc., they're still and will remain my first stop.

    Indeed they do. Nice clean cutting, too (at least from this distance lol). Did you just print the decal image? Or did you try/have to clean up the image first in Photoshop/etc.? I'm considering going through all of the scans here and making "clean" versions of them, but I don't know if it would be worth the effort if you can get basically the same quality just by printing the scanned image.

    Woot woot! My first VF-17 DX!

    The music has consistently been superb as well. I like the first movie a bit more than the second, but the second is an underappreciated masterpiece in its own right. It's much more in the mold of Lilo and Stitch (the director's previous animated work) than the first movie is, and Lilo and Stitch was one that I appreciated way more as I grew up than i did as a kid. Actually, as a kid I blew it off since it was made in that same era as Atlantis et al, where Disney were trying to do more "serious" stuff with their animations and failing badly at it. Back then crap kid me thought they were just trying to ape anime and "Westerners can't touch anime man don't even try to do it you just don't get it." But anyway, this looks to be keeping in the same vein as the last two - surprisingly honest, unvarnished stories - and I'm excited. Shame it won't do the same big bucks as Shrek, Minions, etc., but then in a cruel twist of fate the really good kids' movies almost never do. Oh well.

    Suddenly the Bandai 1/60 Laevatein kit is up for preorder, or maybe it's been up already. https://hlj.com/product/bans55351

    Same. The "side skirts" also look weird and greatly impede the movement of the legs. It's straining just to pull of poses that baaaarely resemble the in-game ones. But I'm still getting it. I'm getting two of it. Hell, I'll get ten if that means they eventually release more.

    I'm still wondering who the hell "Sideshow Bob" is supposed to refer to. I just think of The Simpsons and go look up some Youtube clips.

    Looking at the link, is that $713 billion or 71.3 billion? Because one is the GDP of a small country, the other is the GDP of the universe.

    Didn't they already do one or two of the Wolf Brigade movies in live-action in Japan? Is this a strict adaptation of Jin-Roh the animated movie, or is it an adaptation of one of the other movies in the trilogy? (I've only seen the animated one.) EDIT: Watched the trailer just now, answered my own question. Reaction: They don't get the weight of the armor right. Trying to one-for-one recreate some of the shots in the anime is a bit of a fool's errand, as every anime adaptation ever will tell you.

    This key art always made me laugh. Like Heero doesn't look like the hot emo goodness that gets all the girls going, he looks like a poor drifter out in the cold that the Queen feels sorry for so she throws a spare coat on him. Awesome pics as always, though. The number of amazing photographers on here is... well, amazing.

    Speaking of, the last original live action film they did, Enchanted, I ended up really liking after a while (and many rewatches because that was the kids' newest favorite thing...).
