  1. Nope. Too old to play Terry, and can’t picture him talking smack to wannabe Jokers.
  2. I thought (once the preorders actually went live online) that Yellow was scheduled to be an August release. Golion/Voltron re-release in late July/early August, then Yellow about a month later. The initial, non-color prototype pics probably first said around June. But when I put in my preorder, they were already saying August, no?
  3. Audaciously, over-the-top entertaining. Still think the first one is the best. If the first one was a video game on easy mode with all the cheats on, this one is on normal mode with the infinite life hack on. The action scenes are bonkers fun (nice to see that crazy dude from The Raid movies in a Hollywood blockbuster). But this flick is definitely “turn-off-your-brain-and-just-enjoy-it” territory. Seriously,
  4. Yup, and Rebels did a bang-up job of bringing in Thrawn and the core essence of his character. Canon or not, there's a ton of good characters, themes, ideas, and plots to mine from the Old Republic video games and comics. I know some of the plots could be viewed as re-hashes. But c'mon, who doesn't love a witty, blood-thirsty protocol/assassin droid or a cantankerous old grey Force wielder who occasionally throws out awesome nuggets of wisdom?
  5. At this point, I'm half-expecting AoS to pull off the "multiverse" explanation. Really hate that all these business decisions cut off the Marvel TV and Netflix series from their MCU counterparts. I'll always look back fondly at how beautifully AoS and the Winter Soldier weaved and interconnected with one another. Really kicked SHIELD to another level and gave a real sense that the TV series and MCU were truly interconnected.
  6. So, if they’re only good at adapting other people’s works (and not creating their own story), wouldn’t that be a good thing for an Old Republic trilogy? Both Revan’s and Carrick’s stories are pretty fleshed out already, so . . .
  7. ^^Not a model. Just a customized 3.75"-scale action figure. Got the customizing itch again while I'm waiting for some summer release items. I posted more pics and a parts write-up on the Rebelscum Forums: Linky It's tough being an Old Republic fan, when Hasbro hasn't supported it as much as other Star Wars sub-lines.
  8. Does it qualify as a toy purchase, if I made it my own damn self?
  9. Uh-oh, Moggy's got the customizing itch again.
  10. I think you have to type: "[ spoiler]" (just remove the space between the [ and the s), write your text, and then put in "[/spoiler]" at the very end. . . . And I think I speak for most guys when I say
  11. I'll do you one better. . .
  12. Just got back from watching it. Nice ending with some fun callbacks: Also, was I the only one who thought, "WHO THE HELL IS THAT. . ." Would have loved to have seen some tie in to the Marvel TV or Netflix shows, but it sucks that they couldn't pull it off or make it work storywise or contractually.
  13. You and me both. There's a reason I bought these about a year ago (when Stick and Rey were first released): And I can't wait to bust out the clear green to make Yellow's visor smooth and semi-transparent (almost like the above OP pic).
  14. Comparing the crane kick to Maradona's Hand of God? . . . Someone's been cribbing notes from the Rocky IV 30 for 30 mockumentary.
  15. The Bartley armor has higher heels than the male Ride Armor. That’s why she looks taller.
  16. Well, his dad did have a bit of an impulsive streak and some anger issues. But for me, I’m a 3>1>2 guy. There are days where I rank 3 higher than 6 even. But 3 never changed my opinion of the other two prequels. 1 had the unenviable task of living up to everyone’s expectations. But had too much dumb luck all over the place. But 2 screwed up the Anakin-Padmé relationship and the Ani-Obi brotherhood/banter, making it the worst prequel. But TLJ is still my personal worst. Despite some utter crap choices, there is a good story to be found in TPM and AOTC. A plot change here, a change in the story focus there, some better dialogue, and you could have had good or even great films. Can’t see those sort of salvageable changes being made to TLJ. Just too much was messed up.
  17. Based on what I’ve read and what’s been pretty much confirmed by the trailers, we’re getting [DON’T READ IF WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS]:
  18. Looks like he's favoring range weapons again. Better keep his distance if he's fighting a Hutt nick-named the Mountain. But if Favreau and Filoni are involved, I'll give it a shot.
  19. All good observations there. Not sure about the hip guards’ length either. I just checked Rey’s hip guards and they’re stretched open about the same length on mine with a neutral leg pose. But if the hip guards are the same length as the Mospeada bikes’ and Yellow has longer thighs, I’m sure we can adjust Yellow’s knees away from the bike to make him sit correctly in bike mode, use all those joints and possible angles in the hip joints to pull off a pose.
