  1. ^^Another thing to point out is that the Yamato cockpit splits and a very small portion of it folds over the nose cone. Making the Yamato’s center fuselage/cockpit/nose section even longer than the Bandai’s. I suspect Bandai made the arms smaller, as they’re covered up/boxed in for fighter mode. For the Yamato version, the arms were incorporated as the side of the fighter mode, with no cover on the forearms.
  2. Something to play on an infinite loop, until Season 2 is released:
  3. To quote BSG: “All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.” Eugimon’s Omega PantsTM was basically this same idea of having add-on parts to make the 21’s legs stockier for battroid mode.
  4. The short and oddly-angled bellyplates are something I and a few other folks have been harping about for awhile. Based on the pics we saw of the prototype, that design choice (having the back third of the bellyplates become part of the battroid backpack) could also muck up the look of the Gerwalk mode.
  5. I don’t have the figures in front of me, but I could have sworn Sentinel’s Stick, Rey, and Yellow were all taller than 16cm. If the Legiosses are around the same “size” as the Ride Armor, that’d be fine. Oh the joys of relying on measurements without extra details (especially when headfins and other greeblies get involved).
  6. So at 16cm tall in Armo-Soldier mode, this Legioss will be smaller than even Sentinel’s own Ride Armor figures, right? I can understand them being smaller than Toynami or CM’s offerings. But wow, that’s a huge size difference. So basically, this Legioss will be just a smidge taller than an iPhone Plus? If it was scaled up to be 2 or 3cm taller, I might be convinced to pull the trigger. But not at this current size and current price point.
  7. Even though I never bought it, I’d have to mention Feral Rex. That impressive combiner really made me take notice of the third party offerings, how they could fill niches that Hasbro/Takara wouldn’t be doing anytime soon.
  8. No mention of SOC Golion/Lion Voltron?
  9. Just a dude against an army. . . . with only his pet WOLF at his side. . . . and a sword. . . . and an uzi. “I’d say the odds are about even!”
  10. As a movie, I can get the annoyance. As a typical arc for the TV series, it wasn’t that horrible. The Skyguy and Artooie crap was dumb, and Rex was relegated to just shouting all his lines (except for his awesome “experience outranks everything” line). But having watched later eps first, I can see signs of what was to become of the series later.
  11. Well, if you’re into 80’s style power ballads, there’s a song you can annoy the wifey with.
  12. PREACH IT!! The last true Holy Grail left in Macross.
  13. Well, both Greef and Mando are criminals (EDIT: sorry, bounty hunters or guys working in the underworld of society) working on the outskirts of the galaxy. I doubt they’re big into Jedi history or Jedi in general. If they were working closer to the Republic/Galactic center, I could see them being more familiar with the Jedi. Add in how rare Yodas supposedly are, and it isn’t too much of a stretch to understand that Greef and Mando don’t know jack about Baby Yoda’s species or about the Force. Regarding Mando’s age, if we assume he’s in his 30’s, he’s probably around Han or Luke’s age. And we all know what Han’s original opinion was of that “hokey religion” and Force stuff. Lastly, let’s not forget that Obi-Wan whipped out a lightsaber in a Tatooine cantina, and no one even batted an eyelash. And this series is about 10 years (?) removed from that incident.
  14. DVD’s of the first 6 episodes (when they went on sale), including non-anamorphic copies of the Original Trilogy. Have all the rest available via streaming (Netflix and Disney+). Would probably buy Rogue One, but again easy access via streaming. The only hard thing to get via streaming is the Genndy T. Clone Wars microseries. So, doubtful I’d buy that blu ray pack.
  15. Since we already watched this week's Mando episode, I exposed my kiddos to a great example of coherent story-telling with logical character moments, ridiculously fun action sets, and an understanding of the story that came before it. All while adding its own quality moments to the existing lore: Still freakin' good all these years later!
  16. That massive glut of Stormies does tie back to the Imperial’s “Death Thru Attrition” war philosophy though. Regarding your comment, @jenius, that’s “sorta” what the Machete Order does with the films (watch them in this order: IV, V, II, III, then VI).
