  1. Just noticed it now: are they gonna add the upper arm armors on Houquet (the ones that covers the bicep/triceps areas)? Since they're missing the cloth coverings for the legs and arms, I wonder if they kept the arm armors off on purpose. EDIT: Regarding the footrests, I only hope they don't move too much when I pose Houquet on the bike. Yes, they reversed how they opened, but I hope that doesn't mean they're more prone to collapsing back closed. I wonder if the higher/deeper gap between the boot and the heel has something to do with the change.
  2. I believe Dukat and the Pah-Wraiths were trapped into their own hell, with their only way out (that book) getting burned up in the process. The Sisko was rescued by the prophets right before getting trapped though. Of course, a future writer/hack could retcon it to have Dukat escape somehow.
  3. ^^Welp, Yellow's supposed to be released late next month (August/possibly September). And we're guessing the Legioss is a pre-production test prototype. So, we still have a round of actual production photos to still get through. Are there any other Japanese toy conventions/festivals coming up before December? Maybe they can still make a December release date, or more likely, it gets pushed to 2020?
  4. The Sisko is still alive. In the last episode, he said that he would visit Kasidy. . . yesterday. Being part prophet/worm-hole alien has its advantages.
  5. Thanks, guess Sentinel wasn't as far ahead as we thought they were on their Legioss development. Regarding the sizes, I think I had this conversation with Jenius years ago in another thread. I believe he came to the consensus that the Toynami Alpha was around 1/51 or 1/52 scale. Too small for the 1/48 scale advertised by Aoshima, and too big for the 1/55 scale advertised by Toynami.
  6. If Tarantino's got one more film in him, I'd prefer to see him do Kill Bill Volume 3, more than Star Trek. But if the man wants to try his hand at Sci Fi before bowing out, it's his choice to make.
  7. Thanks for the pics everyone! I really hope they paint that shoulder armor red on Houquet and not leave it white like they did on the CM's version. Yeah, I know they aren't exactly supposed to be anime accurate, but I personally don't like the vest-like look. This looks so much better: Also, looks like someone forgot to add the wheel guard on the front wheel and the squiggly lines on the helmet face. Houquet looks a little THICC, but I suspect it's to balance out how the legs look in armored mode. I'm hoping the gap is just a mistransformation. Lastly, am I correct in guessing the red-white Legioss versions are just updated prototypes of Stick's ride? Solid A-stance for the legs. Just need to see if the shoulder joints are strong enough to hold the weight of the arms fully stretched out, parallel to the ground.
  8. So, there's a dimension where Dormammu kills Dr. Strange, . . . and another dimension where Dr. Strange talks and then gets killed by Dormammu, . . . and another dimension where Dormammu stabs and kills Dr. Strange, . . . and another dimension where Dr. Strange dies, . . . and another dimension where Dr. Strange says, "Dormammu, I've come to bargain" and then gets killed, . . . and another dimension . . .
  9. I’ll admit I didn’t follow Samurai Jack too closely. But I remember it ending beautifully. And after the kewl factor wore off in Clone Wars Volume 1, Volume 2 came back with crazy visuals and some of the best stories for the prequels. Best stinkin’ version of Grievous at least.
  10. Deep down: I suspect some of us guys are hoping for PG-13 for “occasionally gratuitous panty shots.”
  11. As long as there’s a good story behind those crazy visuals, he’s usually done well. Seeing a momma T-Rex defend her babies and deciding to bust the kneecap of a dick dino attacking them was an efficient way to get the point across.
  12. Ali can definitely bring it. His Cottonmouth in Luke Cage Season 1 was a damn good foil. That character was gangster to the core but with a set of standards.
  13. More pics of VV at SDCC: https://news.toyark.com/2019/07/18/sdcc-2019-tamashii-nations-vehicle-voltron-godzilla-star-wars-cowboy-bebop-and-more-353698
  14. Cottonmouth was resurrected as Blade.
  15. Any chance this will improve the likelihood we’ll get some Gatchaman figures of the five mains? In their OG outfits?
  16. “As long/many as there are letters in the alphabet!” Honestly, I’m more curious about when and where this DS9 documentary will stream: https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/SDCC-2019-star-treak-deep-space-nine-what-we-left-behind?amp Didn't find out about it until after its one-day theater run.
  17. Could just be B4’s body (Nemesis ) with Data’s, umm, data downloaded onto it?
  18. Whoever posed VV shouldn’t have mixed the hand types. Hope the big fist type (that the red car is showing in the display) can also hold the sword. I do kinda wish we also had the option to attach the forearm cars with the tops facing to the sides (rather than always facing front). Oh well.
  19. To be honest, I’m surprised Hasbro hasn’t done this more for its potential big ticket /holy grail items. Am I remembering incorrectly, but didn’t the Star Wars BMF and Imperial Shuttle eventually get sold at discounted prices at stores? So, going this route does reduce Hasbro’s risk while still getting out cool toys, if the demand is there. Plus, it wouldn’t shock me if the toy makers at Hasbro themselves also get energized working on these holy grail toys. . . . Now if we could only get Arcadia to do something similar for a TV-Style SDF-1. . .
  20. He’ll always be Patches to me. ”If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!”
  21. I'm definitely a long distance away from the epicenter. And the rolling motion definitely got my pool sloshing big-time, displacing massive chunks of water. But that was probably the gentlest 7.1 earthquake I ever experienced. More of a gentle roll than a sudden shake or drop. Ain't knocking the damage anyone closer to the epicenter experienced, and I hope everyone got out of this one physically safe.
  22. Saw it with the wifey last night. We both enjoyed it and thought it was a FUN flick. It's a nice palette cleanser after Endgame, and a good date flick. There is a little bit of Spidey angst. But the MCU version balances it well with awkward-but-endearing teen Peter and never-shuts-up Spidey. Random Thoughts:
  23. Who made the custom TV Roy pilot, or was that a repaint? That’s a nice combat wing you got there!
