You can also use your existing flightpose stands by mixing rod lengths. For most battroid poses, you'll need at least one or two 2-inch rods and maybe one 6-inch one.

Alien: Covenant (formerly known as Prometheus 2)
Mog replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Assuming the plot synopsis I read is correct, is it accurate for me to assume Also, does Got burned by Prometheus, so a little apprehensive about going out to watch Covenant. -
Personally, by the time Enterprise rolled around, I was already having Star Trek fatigue. It didn't help that Voyager pissed away it's awesome premise (which BSG showed how to do properly). I also disliked how they just ended Voyager with them coming home. I wanted to see the aftermath. How did the Voyager crew react to all the changes (war, etc.) that happened since they left? How would the former Marquis crew react to the changes? How would the loved ones react to them finally being back? Instead, we get the further watering down of the Borg, Voyager getting 1989-Batmobile armor, and more time travel. So by the time Enterprise started, I wasn't willing to be patient. When Berman and company started spouting off about how the Xindi stories would be a new-fangled arc, I rolled my eyes and thought, "DS9 already did long-term arcs." I know Manny Coto helped to make Season 4 interesting, but by then, Star Trek was no longer "must watch" for me. And that series finale for Enterprise was the ultimate slap in the face. Kill a beloved character for no valid reason, and add something totally unnecessary that skunks the memory of a damn good TNG episode (Pegasus). Honestly, after so many movies and literally HUNDREDS of episodes, it's hard for someone to come up with an "original" story for Star Trek.

One of the most distinctive and unique-sounding voices of the grunge era. Gonna miss that soulful howl.

C'mon now, azrael. This one's different: it's a fight in a WELL-LIT hallway.

The price for the Toynami Alpha and Beta COMBINED didn't even come close to this price! That's some serious hubris to be asking a price like that, especially with all the underwhelming pics revealed so far.

Part of the reason 3rd Party Transformers are more successful is twofold: * There's umpteen versions of the numerous Transformers out there (Don't like the version that's too beholden to the cartoon? There's one that leans more to the G1 toy. Want something more like the IDW comic book version? There's a 3P toy for that!) * There's a ton of gaping holes that Hasbro/Takara has never bothered to fill with official releases (Dinobots, combiners, Jazz, Hound, etc.) You really don't have those kind of opportunities with Macross. If a manufacturer gives us a TV Hikaru with a 1S head and a maroon stripe (rather than bright red), we'll scream bloody hell murder. Other than SD's/joke machines, there's not much opportunity for variations. As for untapped/"ignored" figures, the TV SDF-1, enemy mechs, and one Destroid type are really the only items that haven't been mass produced in a larger, non-Hi-Metal R scale. If I was a third party manufacturer, I wouldn't consider Macross a highly lucrative market. <shrugs>

Bo Katan's back, huh? Should be interesting. Also, I wonder how many years/months elapse between Season 3 and 4, because Saw aged pretty badly there. Personally, I'd like to see Rex meet up with Cody. Or better yet, can we finally get the story of why Rex removed the chip in his head or what he was doing during Order 66?

Every time I see the phrase "The Last Jedi," my silly brain thinks "The Last Dragon." Kylo Ben: "When I posit the question, 'Who is the master?' You, Rey, shall respond, 'SHO NOKE!!!'" Nice looking trailer (and I'm always a sucker for the Force theme), but let's wait and see if this film can deliver.

No side profile shot in fighter mode. No pic in Armo-Soldier mode to show how strong the shoulder joints are (supporting the gun, arm fully extended at the elbow) or showing if the hips can hold a solid A stance. Can the head even turn? Way to make your product stand out from the rest.

Yeah, for a good chunk of us, it was just right place at the right time with the right circumstances. Most of my Macross collection was acquired at a time when I was already into my career but still single. (Marriage and kids have a way of cutting into a man's toys/"collectibles" budget! ) I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of Valk Exchange's hey-day, getting the majority of my Macross collection from Kevin. Afterwards, I got my 1/48 M&M's and YF-21's(?) from Los (from Lost and Found Toys, now flight pose, . . . back when they sold toys in addition to the stands). And I'd be remiss, if I didn't give a shout-out to Robokochan for setting up a pre-order for the Stealth Valk and FP set oh so many years ago. Kevin's old site is what originally brought me to these forums, and I wouldn't have known about the other two folks had it not been for our MW Forums here.

^^Imperial Officer incompetence doesn't bug me as much, as it seems to be a trend (Admiral Ozzel from Empire Strikes Back). Besides, Konstantine has demonstrated his idiocy on a few memorable occasions. So, his disobeying Thrawn (trying to grab some glory and stick it to the non-human Grand Admiral) doesnt surprise me much. Considering they wiped out a good chunk of those two Rebel squadrons; destroyed a bunch of their ships, fighters, and resources; and , we can't really say Thrawn's plan completely failed.

Hopefully, that prequel focuses on Holland, Charles, Ray, and the rest of the SOF prior to Eureka's massive turning point (discovering the three kids in that "pile"). It'd be interesting to see their lives prior to Gekkostate's formation.

^^Chopper appeared in Rogue One (in the scene where a communications guy runs up to Mon Mothma). And you hear them calling for a General Syndulla (Hera) over the Yavin PA system. Plus, a lot of folks want to retcon that the the old rebel guy in ROTJ wearing the Scout Trooper disguise is actually Rex.
-
^^And Captain America and Bucky had a similar stairwell fight in Civil War. Gotta go with a new fighting trope. I heard most critics based their review off the first six episodes. But a guy on IGN watched all the eps. Apparently, the rest are just as bad/disappointing.
-
^^Considering that Luke and Leia are twins . . . . I can't imagine that Luke is that young. We already saw Leia in Rebels, and she either looked just a bit younger than Ezra or about the same age as him. Either Luke is a teenager too, or Leia got some of her momma's "I look a lot older than I really am" genes. BTW, really enjoyed BSG Crashdown's "KENOBI!!!!!!!" scream. Really nailed how obsessed Maul became over the years.

The Obi v. Maul throw down is on tomorrow.

Don't know why they'd wanna do a sequel. I mean, how can you top this?
-
Did I just pause that teaser to read Deadpool's full-on synopsis and commentary on Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea? Yes, yes I did. Don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

They're absolutely nailing Thrawn's character! He's been easily one of the highlights of this season. Kinda wish there was just a little more that came out of Sabine's darksaber arc. But I guess we can kill all those rumors now that after these last few eps. Glad it's confirmed that we're getting a fourth season.

TV Hayao's most memorable scenes were getting shot up or dying. But yeah, that 1/48 Max VF-1A was one of my last Macross purchases. Didn't have a 1A Yammie in my collection at the time (other than the 1/60 V1 DRYL Max), and Max really earned his reputation in the white and blue 1A. The toy company's show a lot of love to Max's 1J ride, but not much to his 1A bird. Glad I purchased it, but wish I had the space to display her properly nowadays.

Anyone wanna take a crack at this memorable Meltran pwning scene: Using this toy pic:

^^Consider how long the nose section is, there's also no reason for them to not lengthen the landing gear in the nose. Honestly, unless they put rachet joints in the shoulders, knees, and possibly, the hips, I don't see this new Legioss being exceedingly superior to the Toynami or CMs versions. It may have a few improvements over these older two. But it won't be a revolutionary difference (think Bandai SOC Voltron vs. Toynami Voltron). The shoulder design probably doesn't leave that much room, but it'd be interesting to see someone try to incorporate lateral movement in the shoulders (think shoulder fly lifts). Or maybe have someone design the arm boosters from the beginning to actually be a real connection point with the Tread.

Where it has "ACTION CALLOUT" on the box it should just say "MINIMAL ARTICULATION"
