  1. It may have been a good idea at some point, but I still think it’s best to either do stories before the sequels or preferably long after them and not mention them at all
  2. I’ve been wondering this about almost every Disney production. The moment you think they may have learned a lesson, they go right back to messing things up again. Kinda like a junkie that seems like they may have turned things around after rehab and asks to borrow some cash, but it turns out that they just want to buy more smack. And once you think maybe they’ve reached rock bottom then they make Iron Heart
  3. It’s basically just scaling down and simplifying the 1/72. But I definitely want it for my 1/100 kits
  4. Black Panther 2 was pretty bad, and some of the shows have been worse, like She Hulk, Secret Invasion and Iron Heart. Disney may not have started Star Wars down a crap path, but they’re definitely toxic to every franchise they seem to acquire
  5. Don’t forget about Lando and his weird sex robot that ended up the brain of the millennial Falcon
  6. Just finished Wayward on Netflix. Kinda a mix of a cult horror thing and a Y.A. Type story mixed into one. It has all the awkwardness of both genres, but lacks the excitement making for a kinda dull weird watch that gets increasingly frustrating. You get left waiting for these people to finally make their moves and when things actually start to happen, the show ends at a cliffhanger. It’s a limited series, so there’s no expectation of more episodes and seems after doing some research, that it has not been given a second season. Basically, if you want to watch a boring show that will just make you feel awkward without a pay off and no ending, then this is probably a great show, but for everyone else, I’d recommend staying away and save yourself a few hours to spend doing household chores for a more enjoyable day
  7. It’s definitely a bit tough to tell here. She does have a very similar build to the male figures which is out of place for a property like G.I.Joe, but realistically makes sense. Tough female soldiers in real life rarely have a feminine build, and if they’re supposed to be elite guards they’re probably gonna be more manly. The Zap figure below her has a similar hip and waist and almost looks like he even has a bigger chest than her
  8. I remember less and less of that movie every day I guess. I kinda remember the part where they were on top of the star destroyer, but I don’t remember that character and I forgot about the horses I guess it’s kinda like that second Transformers movie where most people don’t like it and some people did, but nobody seems to remember how they got in the desert
  9. I have no memory of this character. I only watched that last movie once and even though there’s a picture and a name, I don’t remember this person. Did Finn cheat on Rose to be with her or something?
  10. I don’t remember Rose having an afro, but maybe the first Star Wars romantic comedy where they try and just settle down. One character doesn’t know how to function well in a non military environment and the other is so derpy she barely knows how to handle a domestic life. And then awkward adventures keep popping up and an out of place revelation into Finn’s past to give a bit of seriousness so it’s not totally silly kinda story and gets his series some interest.
  11. I think Boyega is strong enough to do a show, but his character was weakened a bit too much. Although I guess that since he didn’t end up with lil miss Skywalker that they could try and do something a bit more detached with him and Rose. But that involves using one of the more hated characters. Personally, I think they should just move ahead without using any established characters in a new adventure that doesn’t rely so much on cameos, but gets the narrative moving beyond the Rey era. Basically just leave the past in the past and give us a new beginning
  12. I’d be more interested if this were in a smaller scale. There’s a lot of close to six inch versions out there already
  13. Yeah, I’ve said in the 1/18th thread that these are way overpriced for what you get. The wheel on the front of the bikes don’t even roll. They’re simple no detail add ons to a small low detail figure. I still think the figure should be ten and maybe as a bike and figure set something like twenty to twenty five. I think they look cool, but not at the asking price
  14. That’s actually what I noticed before the jeep. First was the big Queadluun Rau, then I spotted Max giving chase, then the crew in the door. I kinda thought it was just some debris until I looked closer and realized it was a jeep. A lot going on in that little hallway
  15. I think it actually looked far better animation wise. The hand drawn look always appears better than the simplified cg almost AI look of the majority of modern anime
  16. Wasn’t he a marine or something? Anyway, I didn’t mind him at all in the first of those movies. And he seemed far less nerdy than Boyega who was supposed to have been a life long soldier.
  17. I’ll take Southern Cross easily over all this Tronime.
  18. I don’t see why not, but i think that’s more of a plamax thing. Anyway, look at that jeep, definitely gonna be next in line for the tv Macross kits. Maybe it will even come with that ground crew 💩ing their pants
  19. Yeah, the modern stuff is mostly trash. I miss being excited for anime, but I’m oddly finding more excitement for American animation these days. Can’t wait for more Invincible and curious if Black Knight gets a full series cause that teaser was awesome. But I do feel curious about the upcoming Macross show, although I really know nothing about it
  20. Looks like they went with the classic with Max chasing her down for the showdown
  21. Some people are showing issues on the P Bandai American site. Seems certain items aren’t showing properly. Sometimes things don’t show if they’ve sold out, but this time around most of the stuff didn’t, they’re just awkward to find. One of the items I wanted and was one of the only kits for G Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuux that I don’t think is totally ugly is that Gundam 01. For me it didn’t show on the preorder page, but I had to go to the hobby section and then to the hg section and it still didn’t show in the preorder spot, but I did find it at the recently added list that you scroll to the sides with. Anyway preorder is there and it’s pricey, but it’s there.anyway, I preordered it, even if I’m somewhat regretting my financial decision and did get a confirmation.
  22. That has got to be the most epic opening crawl ever. Not sure if we get an intermission after those two hours before the movie actually starts or if the movie only has a two hour run time and credits just roll after the crawl
  23. It depends on the style. Realistic ones can get away with a wash, but actually painting the eye can help. With anime figures, especially the higher detail ones, the best way is with water color pencils. Start with a dark wash like a darker brown or black if it’s a female character with eyeliner. Then use a water color pencil of white to get the out line of the eye and a sharpened darker one to outline the pupils and such. If they look a bit buggy you can do a quick top coat and then a bit of a light gray wash to tone the whites down
  24. I thought it was a different movie. The more infamous Troll 2. I don’t even know if anyone actually saw the first Troll, but everyone seems to remember Troll 2, but usually not for good reasons
  25. Sometimes a movie can make far more than it’s budget worldwide, but I guess other things like hardcore marketing can cost far more than the budgets and I’d imagine that spending on that one was quite a bit. I remember a lot of commercials for it compared to the more recent film that seems to mostly just have a YouTube spot here and there.
