    Kill the strongest lion!

    Found the old Clone Wars thread here: But the reason I'm bringing it back is because The Clone Wars series will be leaving Netflix on April 7th. So if you want to get one last fix of Clone action, Pong Krell, Hondo Ohnaka, Cad Bane, Star Wars meets Aliens and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Death Watch, Ventress, Maul making himself worthy of the Sith title, Ahsoka growing up, Rex kicking butt, Fives moving up the ranks, seeing a slight justification of why the Clones were so brutal with Order 66, lightsaber battles that got more intense as the seasons progressed, and Anakin slipping ever so slightly to the dark side, now is the time. As someone who initially looked down at this series (just loved Volume II of Genndy Tartakovsky's version a ton), the series was just so good (even with the occasional clunkers) that it eventually won me over.

    The GoT guys have a lot of good storylines to pick if they do go with the Old Republic era. They could run the Revan story (war with Mandos, his fall, then KOTOR 1 storyline). Or jump off the Zayne Carrick idea: a Padawan who lacks the skill to reach Knight level and gets involved in some shady ish. Between the goodwill built up from GoT and the “secretly good” rep of most things Old Republic related, this has the potential to bring back the jaded fans. . . if it’s good.

    You know nothing, Revan!

    This is bloody brilliant! Infinity War as an anime OP (complete with all the standard tropes) :

    I believe the release date for Yellow was scheduled for June 2019. And with SOC Voltron already up for pre-order and scheduled for a late July/(August?) release, I was just getting a little itchy.
  7. Mog
    Any word on when Yellow will go up for pre-order? Decided to change up the display a little while waiting (and wound up popping a few pieces out of their ball joints during the transformation ):

    A medieval, sword-wielding FROG? Yes! And his theme music fits him perfectly: And that moment you realized 'ish just got real in BOTW:

    The music was a little too on the nose sometimes, as if it's screaming "HEY, IT'S MUSIC FROM THE 90'S!!" As an uber fan of Garbage, I do love "Only Happy When It Rains," but it didn't really connect with the story other than to point out it's the 90's. Personally, I think "Vow" or "Push It" would have fit better with the Carol's story. Also, am I the only one who thought "That's Matthew Murdock, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Danny Rand's unofficial theme song!" once "Come As You Are" started up? Lastly, the background music sounded like someone trying to imitate Trent Reznor's The Social Network soundtrack. Despite some minor annoyances with a few of the music/song choices, I thought the overall film was solid, probably around the level of Ant Man and the Wasp. There's some things I don't like in the film, but it's a serviceable outing.

    ^^I believe that’s the one.

    Still didn’t stop him from having a little fun with her. Plus, I’m sure his Q-taught lesson in Tapestry also reminded him that you SHOULDN’T always take the safe route.

    I only recall the original Lion Voltron slightly, as a neighbor had it. I remember the Yellow Lion having ears flaps that opened up to reveal some sort of weapons. Another childhood neighbor had the crappier Lion Voltron that could fit the pilot figures. Never was impressed with that one. A good buddy of mine had/has the Toynami version, but I didn't really have a chance to handle it much. I finally got all the parts for the original Bandai/Matchbox Vehicle Voltron less than a year ago. And it's the only version of Voltron I've gotten so far. It has minimal articulation (just rotating shoulders and less than 90 degree elbow articulation). But that sucker's HUGE (well over a foot tall)! I see that the SOC Voltron/Golion is 27cm tall. So after getting used to Vehicle Voltron/Dairugger's massive size, I'm trying to temper my expectations for the size of SOC version.

    True, but he also did have a thing for Vash and her sometimes questionable moral compass. Plus, he's not above giving trouble officers a second chance ala Ro Laren.
  14. Mog
    Yeah, I just lucked out vegging on the boards last night.

    The hype reel lost me as soon as I heard “First Order.” I’ll wait until they eventually revamp the area for the Original or Prequel eras.

    ^^Yah, went from Y26,800 (or Y28,600) to Y31,990. . . . And now, it's sold out at Y31,990. Got one order in, but I'm hoping against hope that Dairugger XV won't be as crazy. . . . And yet again, NY jacks it up to Y37,000!

    Best of luck to you on that. I thankfully was able to keep the Air and Sea Team I bought years ago in fairly good condition, but I had to spend a significant chunk of change to get the Land Team. There's just too many parts that can break down on the old Bandai/Matchbox one (the clips on the red fighter, the fists breaking and no longer staying inside the arms, the connections on the hip joints not holding or getting locked into place, just to name a few). Plus, you're dealing with a 30+ year old toy. You might luck out on a knock-off, but the odds aren't favorable. P.S.--Looks like NY's pre-order for Golion is already sold out.

    I've been out of the Macross Valk game for a LONG while now (last bird I got was the TV-Style Yamato 1/48 Max). So, wasn't sure if it's just a "Bandai Macross" thing or a "Bandai in general" thing. In any case, nothing up on NY just yet (just the original release at ridiculous premium).
  19. Mog
    Is this the infamous Bandai pre-order madness I always hear about?
  20. Mog
    Not often enough? Usually when I first get a Valk or other toy, I’ll transform it a bit. But between life, family, and other commitments, I find that the only other time I “play” with the toys is when I rearrange a display or get more display space (or when a natural disaster, errant bump, kid, or Father Time knocks the toys out of whack). Once I get a pose locked in, it’s very rare for me to want to change it up. Plus with the way I am, I need to carve out a good chunk of time to get the poses all perfectly lined up and angled just the way I like ‘em. I’m OCD like that!

    I’m curious if that two-year waiting clause applies to ALL the characters or just the main/title characters. The reason I ask is because I wonder if Disney+ would be willing to start up a Daughters of the Dragon series. Misty and Colleen aren’t exactly the main characters of the Netflix shows, Colleen has the added bonus of having the power of the Iron Fist, and it would be a publicity boon for Disney to have a series with two minority female leads. And we already know the two actresses kick ass when they’re on-screen together. Plus, there are storylines for them to spin off from the cancelled series (Would be a tricky legal minefield to negotiate for sure, but could be a fun challenge for the writers).

    Oh crud, summer just got a whole lot more expensive! I'm curious to see how solid the joints are and how much articulation will be in the combined Vehicle Voltron/Dairugger XV. With so many connection points on that puppy, I'm a little worried about how they'll pull off a fully poseable figure with joints that can hold strong. So, what are the chances we'll see Bandai tackle a Fleet of Doom combiner Robeast (aka Lotron), the Dreamworks/Netflix version of Voltron, or the And here, I thought I was good after finally completing the Matchbox Vehicle Voltron almost a year ago.

    I thought all those falling leaves meant that Pocahontas was gonna show those Arendelle girls the Colors of the Wind?

    Looks like Yellow’s cloth is not “Rey blue,” but more of that chalky grey blue. Good choice there by Sentinel. Still wish the armor wasn’t so deep dark blue and was just a few more shades lighter. Along with confirmation of the chest missiles, we also need to see how the blades look fully retracted.
