Hmmm... Ideon's basically a god, Dancouga killed a god... I kinda wanna see this fight.

It would be a tie because the Ideon would just destroy the universe along with both of them

IIRC, VF-31A Kairos and VF-31C Siegfried (Mirage) didn't had Battroid mode released.

It was the 31a, I remember it being a cannon fodder looking one. If they had done the Battroid, I would have bought it

Pedro Pascal is 48 at time of posting. By the time this movie comes out, he's gonna be 50. Yeah, younger would have been better, especially for these franchise movies where multiple appearances over a decade can be expected.

Rumor has it...

  Hide contents

...this might be a period movie with it taking place in the 60s(?) or 70s(?).

 

I like that rumor 

Pedro is the go to guy for every franchise from DC to Marvel to Starwars and video game movies. Pretty soon he’ll be a candidate for President and everyone will break out their old vote for Pedro merch

Forgot about the VF-1's. The Siegfrieds kind of linger in my head than the other two.  

 

I only bought the VF-1 kits. There was one that wasn’t an og Macross kit, but I think it only got a fighter before the line was cancelled, but I don’t remember what it was.

I know you meant flesh colored... damned auto-correct or plain old typo; that being said, the distinction between black and "fleas colored" (black grey) is just too amusing.  

 

I definitely meant flesh

So, what’s under the mesh?

just curious what kind of plastic and if it’s black or fleas colored. It might be easier to repaint and reattach armor directly to the plastic, but that would depend on the plastic 

For those that build the wave 1/35 kits, they’re releasing a second set of decals for the more recent ones as well as a rerelease of the first set.

Well I'm calling this one done.

Looks great

It was a similar concept, but highly detailed prepainted little 1/144 kits. I miss em. well at least there are still the 1/100 wave kits and a few options in 1/72

So like the Tomytec macross kits then?

I honestly can’t remember who came up with that idea first between tomytec or wave

We tried it out and even though it’s not the worst of the marvel movies, it’s not really great either. Definitely better than Eternals but probably closer to the second Black Panther movie. It has some very cringy moments and some really odd things going on. Most of those things are already covered in the pitch netting and honest trailer, but the weirdest thing for me was Capt. Marvel. She acts awkwardly overly childish in this one and almost feels like she was totally recast, even though it’s the same actress.

My lady didn’t seem to have an opinion on the movie. Usually she tells me right away if she liked it or not. This was odd because she just got up after the X-Men scene and went to bed. Usually she says good night oat least, but not this time. In the morning I asked her if she liked the movie and all she said was that she liked the cats and that was the end of the conversation.

Finished the 7th season of Rick & Morty on MAX. It has its moments and while they did a decent job of replacing Justin Roiland's voice this was the weakest season. I'd be surprised if they make it to season 10 as planned.

Weirder than that is Solar Opposites. They didn’t even pretend to find someone that sounded like him. They just played it off as that was just circumstance

The Super 7 Ultimates are tempting but I'm trying to resist. I have Snake Eyes and might pick up Storm Shadow and leave it at that.

Some of the  Classified figs look good but half look bad to me. I'm not going to buy 6" and 7" figures and the Ultimates win that fight.

Now the upcoming Super 7 o-ring figs are what I'm most excited about. I think they're going to knock those out of the park, and I'm all in on those.

I’m a bit curious about those O-Ring ones myself.

As far as the bigger super 7 figures, I really love the classic cobra trooper and think that’s another one to add in a collection

MCU needs to go anti-MCU to save it. DP&W and Thunderbolts could be a good start.

They just need to get away from the multiverse and get a good writing team. The multiverse thing works ok for more comedic stories, but is really annoying beyond that.

Looks awesome, and hilarious! Will this save the MCU? Highly doubtful, one movie can't do that. Will it make a billion? Probably, but that was pre-determined, people are in for this because its Deadpool 3, not because it's now an MCU film, this was always going to make money. 

It’s definitely a Deadpool thing, but I think a lot of people want that Wolverine action as well

@Chas That's a nice set of asteroids you got there!

For a change from scale modeling, I'm tinkering on the Moderoid Thunderjaw. The kit is great, but once you take a deep dive into the reference material, you can't find an end with the details. Paiting this behemoth will be quite an undertaking.

 

 

 

I’ve never actually seen one of these kits completed, can’t wait to see it finished

Traditionally animated robots are inherently rubbery and no amount of fanwank is ever going to make them completely physically consistent.

 

And that's perfectly fine! Honestly that's more than fine! Old Battroid look amazing because they had their own appeal designed into every mode! Meanwhile the 3DCG era designs trying to perfectly physically consistently unwrap a beautiful fighter and end up with a skinny, boring and ugly Battroid with no appeal of its own.

I’m an old bastard, so I get that. I really wasn’t at all excited the first time I saw a VF-25 in the way I was seeing stuff from before plus. I even like the Zero stuff, but the later ones look really flimsy.

Here's some close-up photos I found. I have to agree, the details look amazing for this small. Let's hope they're not Bring Arts expensive small.  

I hope not.

DigAction 1/24 Hokuto No Ken figures displayed at WonderFest Winter 2024.

Depending on price I might have to get into this line. They look amazing for being so tiny

Nice as it is to have these re-issued again, they could stand to just do a "full pack" and include every variation of head and Fast pack. Or if they're adamant about the segmentation, they should have ONLY included the S/A heads with the Strike kits, and ONLY included the J/D heads with the Super kit.

Now that I think about it, what do people think are the more "iconic" VF-1 heads? Obviously the S takes top spot, but what would be second-best known, the A or J? I think it's fair to say the D would bring up the rear... but would it, actually? Hmm...

They seem to be more dyrl than og series, so the D would be odd especially since even the og D type had some body differences. But back to these being more dyrl, the J is barely seen. They did do a standard 1J, but it had movie hands and I think it also had a movie style pilot, but oddl these all have tv style stabilizers on the legs. The 1A definitely has the movie head and they all have movie hands as well

Square's merch was always annoyingly overpriced, but never absurd. But I stopped paying attention altogether after they started skimping and jacking up prices on products that were ALREADY barebones and overpriced. I remember when this Bring Arts series was supposed to be their "budget" line, but now they cost nearly as much as their more premium lines while still using all the same budget materials/processes/etc.

Budget line, I remember when the larger figures were $20

The Orange cat and Moderoid kits look entertaining. I like the redesign kits from Orange cat, but the sculpt on the Moderoid looks great for sticking to the anime

I could care less about the others, but I may have to get that Ryu Hyabusa

From WonderFest Winter 2024.

Yes. They all look nice. All of them. 

But, not individual Y12000 nice. That's total of Y120000. (US$804 in today's currency exchange.) 

Don’t forget the shipping. Just about $1000.00 for a set of six inch figures. It’s tough because even with picking and choosing, these individually are still too expensive. They look great though, and I’m trying to tell myself that I don’t need any of them because I got most of them for a fraction of the price and twice the size

Has anyone else watched Killers of the Flower Moon yet? 

If so, what was your take on it? I watched it last night and if I'm being truly honest here, I don't get how it got all the praise that it has. For a 3-hour & 26-minute movie, I found it very slow, choppy editing and uneven pacing. Disappointing overall IMO. 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, I skipped it because I hadn’t heard any praise for the film. Only complaints that it was too long and not focused on the right things for being so long.
