    Speaking of voice acting... Just started Devil May Cry on Netflix. I'm 4 1/2 minutes into the first episode and I am in love with the voice acting! Producers of Lazarus: THIS IS HOW YOU VOICE AN ANIMATION!!!!! [And the animation itself is top notch too. I'm not familiar with the IP so I have no idea if what I'm seeing here is the usual or an exception.] Edit: I hope I didn't speak too soon. The protagonist showed up at about 8 minutes and the voice actor is only slightly better than the typical English/American talent.

    Watched the premiere of Lazarus on HBO Max. I spent more than a decade as a neuroscientist so I was pretty stoked to explore a world driven by an artificial neuromodulator. Unfortunately, it was a tough watch. While the story's concept is exciting, the episode was *very* difficult to enjoy simply because of the incredibly flat and off-putting voice acting. I tried the alternative languages but none was any better than the English track. Not sure if it's worth sticking with it.

    "...big names like the TLK version of Megatron haven't gotten a figure since the TLK movie line." Bayverse is terrible: nonsensical plots, humor that misses more often than not, and bots that appear to be made of cheap aluminum foil. This is music to my ears.

    The Dream Star constructicons look amazing. I love their design, finish, and transformations.

    Don't I know it. I've got the tactical pod, the officer's pod, and two fighter pods on preorder.

    Love the update. TY! I received my battlepod and two artillery battlepods on Monday. I love their size and heft. My only complaint is that I would have bought 1 more if the S&H hadn't been so outrageously expensive.

    Solo Leveling season 2: GIVE ME SEASON 3 TODAY! I didn't read the source material and I avoided spoilers all season long. Season 2 was a delight, start to finish. And that opening theme song is a banger.

    I gave Gundam a chance. I watched a couple different series (I think the original, Char's revenge, and a third one) but gave up on the IP when it seemed like they were all rehashing the same plot with similar/related characters. But back to aesthetics. Gundams don't make any sense to me (see attached pic). If I'm designing mecha, am I going to waste time, materials, manpower, money, etc. making every other facet pointlessly pointy? No. There's nothing elegant about a Gundam's design, and that's their fatal flaw for me.

    The head sculpt channels Gundam a bit too much for my tastes.

    I'm an OG G1 die-hard...but I feel like it's time to move on and establish a newer, richer cast of multi-faceted characters and an internally-consistent universe. And for the love of God, make it a universe that doesn't revolve around kids! I give every TF series an honest chance, but I keep returning to G1 simply because none of the follow-up series released thus far has captured my imagination in any compelling or lasting way.

    The rear-wheels transformation is beautiful.

    I forgot about this one. I love that "The original battle machines!" is/was trademarked. I suppose this is a good example of "everything old is new again."

    A couple sites identify this as a model kit. https://www.facebook.com/suprememecha/posts/news-kits-mospeada-gsc-moderoid-genesis-climber-vr-0527f-mospeadadetails-tbaaaro/982634653867997/ https://plastic-model-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=913&p=1

    "Please, Sir. I want some more." I really like its stripped-down design, even if it looks just a bit stumpy in these pix.
  15. 26662
    Many thanks for the offer! I'll keep it in mind if something happens to one of my orders.
  16. 26662
    I had a lot of hope for it. I might try again some day when I’m ready to concentrate on the plot.

    I just watched an 11-year old YouTube video of someone building a 1/72 Legioss Fighter model kit. But what caught my eye was a comment that described a Monogram model kit of Go-Bots Leader-1 that was based off the Legioss. I figured the commenter was full of it. Nope: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296133515473?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item We have definitive connections between Macross and Transformers and Mospeada and Go-Bots. Anyone know of a connection between Southern Cross and another IP? The Mighty Orbots? 🙂 I was aware of the Cy-Kill/Cyclone model kit, but somehow the Leader-1 escaped me.

    Oof... Star Trek: Discovery. I felt that. ST:D needed better storytellers (and they shouldn't have stolen the entire water bear/warp drive story line), but more to your point, Soniqua-Green can't act. She was terrible on the Walking Dead and she showed zero growth on ST:D.

    I'm gonna run with this idea and add a dash of GI Joe. I'll create two fighters with complementary color schemes and call them Xamot and Tomax.
  20. 26662
    Shoot. That’s too bad. I like their complementary colors. Made me think we were a couple years into the war and I was seeing fighters that had been cobbled together using parts from totaled mecha. Actually, that gives me ideas!

    Grabbed this image from AnyMoon (https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=13609#more-13609). If this isn’t a prototype or test shot built for promotion, anyone know what became of this one? Love the color scheme.

    I don't disagree. I see the legioss/tread as a package deal, and I'm afraid my dissatisfaction with the MPC legioss portion is what's responsible for my negging the MPC tread earlier. I should've recognized the MPC tread's merits on its own. Fair point. 🙂

    I've had mine for over a month now and I still can't get over how amazing this figure is. And for less than $200: The price doesn't make any sense to me. I'd buy a couple more to customize if it weren't for all of my other preorders. Edit: Belay my last. BBTS allows for pay later with a small deposit so I'm going to pick up a couple more. If I let this figure/deal escape me, I just know that I'm going to be kicking myself later when I'm paying the late tax.

    Finally! I have been waiting ages for this. I tried to order this and a couple other figures from this line last night but had to ask KC for help completing my order. "Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our products. May I kindly request that you separate this into two orders? Each order has a weight limit, and exceeding this may result in difficulties with order processing." I appreciate the prompt and kind note. Splitting the order allowed me to complete the purchase, but ouch, those shipping charges are painful.

    Ordered all of the KC figures today so I'm going through the older posts to get caught up. Unfortunate camera angle here: Max looks like he's about to give us a pole dance.
