    I'll concede that the old-school version has features that the SOC doesn't have (like Yellow having those guns/rockets that popped out from the sides of his head). And SOC canNOT do that "Cross and pound arms on the chest" pose that Voltron does when he first combines: BUT C'MON! SOC is just so stinkin' poseable and has so many wonderful weapons! Can definitely do the "All Lions ROAR!" pose: "I'll start by dual-wielding against the Robeast of the Week (RotW)! That will be a change-up from the norm!": "Whoa! RotW almost hit me there!" "Go spear and mouth-blade combo against RotW?" "Okay lost the spear. Maybe if I use the mouth blade and shield. . ." "Wait. Who are we kidding?! Why the HELL AM I WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME HERE?!!" Two-handed grip: Dual-wielding with Blazing Sword. . . a much better combo!

    Titan Power’s can’t split into the separate lions. That’s a must-have feature for me.

    Lot of good info. summed into one article. Minimal spin and hyping. And it gives you info. on how this impacts the Marvel and Disney movies and shows still currently on Netflix.

    And her parents* And “I just want to drink my fresh green milk in peace” Luke. . . . Just messing around; I agree with your points. They never really did much to make the new main three compelling or endearing. * If Kylo Ben’s explanation is to be believed.

    So, what am I supposed to watch for the other 35 months after I gorge on The Mando, Clone Wars’ final season, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Wanda Vision, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, What If?, The Other Series that really, really, REALLY ties to the MCU (even though Agents of SHIELD and the Netflix Marvel series just welcomed Spidey to limbo hell), and Song of the South during that first month?

    Strong dollar don’t mean squat if Houquet never gets produced and becomes vaporware. That’s why I’m really hoping Sentinel is doing well. It’s way, WAY too early to speculate. But I’d prefer this be a “Toynami finally releases an awesome Beta after years of delays,” rather than a “Beagle shows off a beautiful Houquet prototype, but it never gets produced” situation. Again, way too early, but the signs give me pause and some concern.

    The hip and shoulder joints are key. I’ve always preferred ratchet joints for those areas on the Legioss/Alpha. But if it must be a friction joint, they’ve got to be able to hold up strong.

    Is it bad that the only takeaway I got was that, “Ooh, folded, double-bladed saber. Potential to make a Pong Krell custom has just. . . risen.” Only another half-billion issues to make that custom figure, but at least the saber issue would be easier to solve.

    You guys are assuming too much: Are we even certain Houquet will get to market?! DAMN YOU, TARIFFS!!!!! Might need to switch the avatar for good luck. . .

    If he unmasks and has a couple scars on his left cheek. . . . . . We’ll know that Filoni has taken his story to live action. Long shot, but I’m intrigued to see where this goes regardless.

    Thank you for the pics! This is the money shot right here. By hollowing out the back end of the red intakes, they’re able to compress the legs in even more. Comparing it to the Toynami version, the boosters/exhaust/heels also get pushed into the calves more, preventing the fighter mode from having an excessive backside hanging off the end. The winglets(?) on the Sentinel are also skinnier/less wide than the Toynami version, giving the nose section a much more “pointy” profile. Really digging the design improvements they made here. Hopefully, it all holds up well, stays as one solid connected piece in fighter mode, and can hold its poses strongly in Armo Soldier mode.

    Probably. . . DELAYED! Sentinel had me hoping for a Yellow summer, but all I got was Blue, Blue Rain in My Soul. I hope Sentinel is doing well financially (in case that looming recession hits soon) and we still get the Legioss and Houquet released. We need the core Ride Armor team to get completed at a large scale!

    Dangit! That sucks. I hope it’s closer to early October, rather than end of October. SOC Dairugger/Vehicle Voltron is also coming out around that time too. So, at this rate, should I just assume Houquet won’t get released until Oct. 2020? (Half-joking/half-serious).

    The first one? Absolutely. But the sequels? Nope. All I remember were kewl, over-the-top fight scenes and the Architect spouting off a bunch of verbose mumbo-jumbo. No doubt that the first one deserves all the accolades and praise it got. But the sequels? They never lived up to this awesome mission statement:

    I’ll do you one better: WHY is the Matrix 4? I’ll see myself out now.

    Disney needs to tread carefully here. Endgame closed a huge chunk of the over-arching story, and it can become a good stopping/leaving point for people. Dropping Spidey, putting the Netflix Marvel heroes on hiatus, throwing more stuff to watch on Disney+, and we may be reaching a burnout point. Regardless of “blame,” it’s not a good look for Disney. You can be the benevolent monopoly, but once we start seeing cracks or you peel back the curtain to reveal the “business side of things,” you might be setting yourself up for a royal fall.

    I’ll admit to hating Rebels at first (“They cancelled Clone Wars for this crap?!”). But the show grew, became a worthy successor/follow up to Clone Wars, and made its mark in so many different ways. It’s been over a year since it ended, but there’s still scenes and eps I’ll cue up to watch again and get hit in the feels or get giddy over. Such a rich and worthy addition to the Star Wars tapestry.

    They should just promote Dave Filoni to lead story guy (ala Kevin Fiege). He doesn’t have to write all the stories, but is there to double-check that it all fits together into one cohesive universe. Dave would get final say. Not saying the guy doesn’t have his clunkers (some Clone Wars and Rebels eps were chores to watch). But he’s generally made more solid hits than misses over the years. And when he hits it out of the park, it’s freakin’ good. No question the guy knows and loves his Star Wars lore and how to create a beautiful story (or more) in that sandbox.

    The only thing I can think of that would be of any interest for Obi's post-ROTS life would be a story with A'Sharad Hett (run a parallel story where you show the guy's origin, maybe some adventures with Obi, and their eventual confrontation on Tatooine). No way in hell Obi abandons his post or does anything to attract any unnecessary attention to himself. Also Rebels already had the perfect endcap for Obi's time in the desert, and there's really no way to do this any better:

    Hasbro will get to them just as soon as they release their figures of Pong Krell, Fives in ARC getup, Bounty Hunter Ventress, Mandos in Maul-style armor, Obi in Mando Armor, Dual-Wielding Palpy, late seasons Ezra Bridger, Thrawn, blind and bearded Kanan, clean cut Kanan, Dark Saber wielding Sabine, Governor Pryce, the Ghost, Clan Wren Mandos, Mando Transport ships, pre-R1 Saw Guerrera, the three-winged TIE, Kallus in Rebel gear, the speeder bikes the Rebels use, Old Hermit Maul, Tatooine Obi, the Imperial transport ship from THAT Rebels episode, the Lothal Wolves, Hondo’s Ughnaught sidekick, Ahsoka the White, Jacen Syndulla, and a few others I’m sure I’m forgetting.

    It’s too bad that TLJ also failed so miserably at making any of the NEW main three endearing or compelling. Their dumb actions and choices, especially Poe and Finn, resulted in getting people captured and/or killed. Yeah, the original three also failed and lost. But it wasn’t due to outright stupidity. Regarding cynical Luke, I didn’t mind him getting salty and crusty in his old age. But I do hate that he just took his ball and ran away. As if turning his hardened dad back to the Light Side after so many years or hearing that Han was killed, the Resistance needs help, and that Leia needs backup wouldn’t spur him to get back in the fight immediately.

    I’ve said this before, but as soon as I heard First Order for Galaxy’s Edge, I was out. Don’t really care for the Sequel Trilogy and neither do my kids. Add Disneyland’s ridiculously overpriced tickets, and yeah, it becomes an easy pass. I like Hondo Onaka (sp?) and the Falcon. But the limitations and practicalities of being a multi-person ride kinda ruin the idea of running the Falcon. I’d love to pilot the Falcon, but in a big-ass open sandbox environment, complete with the freedom the fly any which way I choose. It ain’t enough to press a button that shoots the Falcon’s guns, I wanna be in that rotating gunner seat, spinning around, looking for, and gunning down strafing TIE’s. The ride will probably pale in comparison to those fantasies. It’s just part of the practicalities of being a high-volume theme park ride.

    Cool. Hopefully, it’ll be a post-Labor Day surprise for this Yank’! Wonder if they’ll sneak the Bartley on the box art?
