  1. It was a tv miniseries that aired I believe around 9 pm to hopefully make sure kids went to sleep, but every kid I knew watched it and talked about it the next day at school. It was on ABC television networks, so pretty much every kid was watching it and getting nightmares and childhood trauma. good times. And nobody has trusted a clown since I guess that hatred for clowns started with Garfield, but that quickly turned to fear after that miniseries
  2. That Teela looks……….special….
  3. Yeah, I remember having Airtight as a kid. Was his main accessory a vacuum? It’s been a while. I can’t remember if it was to take samples or just sniff at things to identify them
  4. Even without the strap, it looks really cool
  5. The stuff looks just the same here. It’s also supposed to be just as tough as any lacquer application. And I guess not super expensive since you can thin the paint down quite a bit
  6. Looks pretty cool. They do have that aqua clear, not sure if I spelled it right top coat that seals the chrome. It will dull the color a little though. Recently there have been tougher chrome choices like duralumin and an option using a thinned down super metallic 2 silver from Mr color, supposedly something like five parts thinner to I part paint and it comes out like a tough chrome. The Barbatos Rex YouTube channel has many videos about great chrome choices and he does a toughness test with the different ones to let you know which ones are worth the money I know exactly what you mean by the fragility of Alclad, stuff will just rub off, but looks great and easy to find. I usually try to use it for things like sensors and then a clear color on top.
  7. Is that top image a teaser for Mr Ed?
  8. She’s definitely looking a little lumpy around the chin. that game was fun but flawed. I remember being able to beat it by just staying out of the enemy range. Also remember getting motion sickness when I got my Fuchikoma stuck on a column and pushed forward. The screen went in circles and I forgot which way I was facing
  9. Glad to see you’re having fun with the line. This guy turned out pretty cool
  10. Yeah, looks they were trying to use the kit to do the old box art justice
  11. So you can’t bend the arm well unless you move the armor to the wrong position. That’s kinda stupid
  12. Hoping for some cool model kits from the new show since they already got that new Patlabor one as a real grade coming up. I want a really fun Fuchikoma with all the crazy joints
  13. Plamatea is very similar to the moderoid line. Simple kits, prepainted parts and usually very well color separated. Recently did some parts fitting for the Guts kit from Berserk and it’s looking great. Some seams, and I expect this will have seams as well. But I’m pretty sure the fit will be smooth enough to hardly see the seams if you’re feeling like a straight outta box build
  14. First a tv show “Jumped The Shark”, then a beloved franchise “Nuked the Fridge, and a lesser franchise “Drifted a Car In Space”. Not sure if anything will top that stupidity
  15. Yeah, kind of a mashup of a simplified basic scopedog and this newer version with lighter details. I’m sure the official images will be different once they come out
  16. Don’t forget Maximum Overdrive. Not because it’s good or that it has any real connection, but that it’s got one of the greatest soundtracks ever and it’s so goofy that you gotta just get some pals together with a big bowl of popcorn and various life shortening snacks and drinks and just have fun with the stupidity
  17. Pretty sure it was due to some type of illness, she was getting on in her age and had been turning down some rolls lately. I doubt it was anything darker like self inflicted by any means or by others
  18. On the zentraedi figures, can the lower arm be positioned in the proper way to protect the elbows instead of the side of the arms?
  19. That thumbnail is hilarious. Looks almost like basic sci fi fantasy till you realize that everyone is in their undies. Even the bearded dude at the top doing a spreadie on top of a spider robot trying to look like he’s challenging Jeff Goldblum from the first Jurassic park to see who can pull off the most seductive pose.
  20. She was a terrible parent in those movies, but she was a great actress to be able to pull off such a terrible parent, yet still being a loved character. That does definitely take some talent to pull off. She’s been in a lot of other memorable things over the years and will be missed
  21. Sure wish they’d do more episodes of Megas XLR. That show rocked hard
  22. Yeah, not planning to go crazy and add a toilet bowl on its back. Just want to be able to use the parts I love from the old kit on the newer one. Why not start a thread for it. Maybe it’s a one and done thing or maybe the company does other kits for other cool franchises. You never know, maybe other interesting items will become available in this age of retro models. Seems like such a lack of modern mecha and sci fi in anime that most of the companies are making great new kits based on all kinds of older anime and video games
  23. I think he had multiple fighting styles, guns and melee weapons. I may be mixing memories of one of the later cartoons though
  24. I hate them, but my lady loves em. They seem to have more neurotic characters than they used to back in the simple 90’s. They often mix the usual problems of old with some kind of tragedy or horrifically toxic relationship that they need to escape from to find their true love. Most of the older ones had the boring dude with a boring over stressful job meeting a chaotic girlfriend that shows the guy how to be more exciting or whatever. It’s kinda flipped to where the people live absolute chaos and then meet the boring person in a small town and they end up living peacefully in the end
