    I'm sorry but I have to laugh at all of this. Sure Fett underestimated Luke, who no-one actually believed was a Jedi. However the man dared to speak up to Vader and wasnt immediately killed. Nor was he even threatened with dire doom. Instead Vader reassured him. Clearly Vader respected him, and Vader wasnt a fool. Logically the Galaxy has to be full of bounty hunters but Vader personally instructed a small handful on the bridge of the Executor. I'd say those were the best of the best.

    Yes so how much more is the question. Its the 500 million (assuming that the imperial billion is not being referred to) that I'm referring to as being somewhat conservative. Yes we have but in the context of warships, not the fortresses. The point as I recall was that it would be too inefficient and impractical for frontline ships to store troops and mecha in decanting/assembly required fashion. Here its about mobile fortresses. Is there any reason why they wouldnt have cloning and troop storage facilities aboard? The Zentraedi must be getting their troop replacements from somewhere. I've never agreed with that. Firstly the Zentraedi would then not have been suceptible to having their suppressed emotions reawakened, and secondly we see them engage in the Zentraedi version of "office politics" That brings us to the question of the Zentraedi genetic enhancements. Is there any listing anywhere of these? Surely there must be some form of structural and systemic enhancement to cope with dramatically increasing the scale of the humanoid body. Being able to withstand low atmospheric pressure better than humans must also be one (based on Ranka), and I would expect resistance to high-g. Also given the stress of constant heavy combat isnt it likely that they would have been gene engineered to cope with it in some way? I like the cold sleep idea only if it allows a dramatic increase in troop complement. Who wouldnt want the ability to field more Zentraedi soldiers?

    Only interested in classic Spider-man and Spider-woman (Jessica Drew).

    Isnt that rather conservative? Given that those 118 milliion are only living on the surface and not in the volume. And that many Zentraedi could be comprehensively packed in stasis storage for later decanting.

    As a sci-fi fan this has always been one of my fave pieces😃 And then there's the Lazenca version😁

    But will any of them be cosmic?

    From those last Tomax, Xamot and Destro are tempting.

    I dont remember Batman being campy back in the 70's and 80's. That was when he was awesome, and wearing the iconic blue and grey.

    As usual not only is the quality of the work impressive, but also the speed of it. 🏎️💨

    Never heard of him. Not surprising though, given that he only became active this century according to google.

    Beautiful!😥 Not only do we need more Zentraedi kits/toys, but more Tenjin Hidetaka artwork of them too.😍

    Damn Commies!

    A catchy song to sing in the shower. 😇

    Interesting. I must do some reading It seems.

    This was my fave song back in the 90's during my study pressure years. "It is better to burn out, than to fade away!"🤣

    Binary arrived finally. I have a Brood Queen. Now I just need some Brood Slaymasters and an Acanti Space-whale. Come on Hasbro, we need more Cosmic Alien Excitement.😄

    Well Star Wars is a mix of both, but its never been hard sci-fi. We have slo-mo-jo lasers and sounds in space after all. Now I appreciate the odd technical manual that tells me how blasters, TIE fighters and Deathstar Superlasers work as much as the next person, but there is such a thing as going too far. I refer here to the Midi-Chlorians, which seemed to me an attempt to retro-rationalise the quasi-mystical nature of the Force away by people who "cannot allow the supernatural a foot in the door."

    I did watch it...and instantly forgot it. Nothing in it was worth my time, other than the scene featuring the Imperial Naval Troopers. And then only because I hoped it meant Hot Toys was FINALLY going to make the Death Star Trooper.🙄

    Masterchief has arrived!😁 Just need an Arbitor/Forerunner/ Some Flood now.

    Han wasn't THAT much of a good guy a first, he was a cynical world wise smuggler who primarily looked out for number one. Shooting first was perfectly in character, and meant that he read the situation and got the drop on Greedo. Allowing Greedo to shoot first makes him look like an idiot who was super lucky that Greedo can't aim at point blank range.

    Not the big black Wookie which is a nod to the comics?
  22. Podtastic
    Excellent!😁
  23. Podtastic
    Is this not then still an option as a swap out?
  24. Podtastic
    They should go back to Cyberpunk where they belong. IMO anyone who voluntarily replaces an organic body part with soon-to-be-obsolete technological junk is a moron.

    I still prefer 3 fingers myself because it kind of goes with the triple everything theme of these Bioroids. Are options a possibility? And how many fingers on the Scout then?
