  1. ^^Yup, was about to post the exact same thing. Unless you can afford to buy an ALPS printer and can still find the materials/ink for it, you're pretty much screwed. I did do some custom grey pilot stickers and a grey nosecone sticker many moons ago for my custom YF-21. But it was a ridiculously involved process where I had to make the fonts in front of a black background in Word, apply white-out tape directly onto the sticker paper, and then print the image (with the black background) directly on top of the white-out tape portion. It's passable for a small thing like the pilot's name, but I would never recommend the above process for a Macross kite or any larger emblem/image. Just FYI, the Mog image was also a custom (but it's behind a fairly light grey background). But every other sticker above was leftovers from takatoys and Toynami sticker sheets.
  2. Don't get me started: I have a massive list of corrections/improvements that should be done to make a better Malak, starting with that shriveled up, wrinkly head of his. However, there's also a ton of improvement that could and should have been done for Revan too. You should also add non-movie-related GI Joes to that list too. After the movie line ended, they were releasing some pretty interesting, ridiculously loaded (with accessories) figures in the Joe line. But good luck trying to find any of them (unless its the Sandtrooper of this line: the Artic Destro figure). But yeah, I completely agree with you: Hasbro's distribution across most of its collector-heavy toylines has been pretty atrocious these past few years.
  3. Yeah, I only saw Revan and Malak ONCE at Kohl's (of all places). And that was back when I was a much more serious, multiple store hitting toy hunter. But Bastila? Never once saw her out in the wild, not even any remanents of her wave. I even tried to hit up a few stores right as they opened up, and came up with nothing. Had to finally resort to using eBay to get her. At this point, Hasbro's distribution has become an absolute joke.
  4. You bring up that even-numbered turd, Nemesis? I'll raise you "What does 'God' need with a starship?" Despite my mocking, I still personally like my Trek with a heavy dose of DS9, the Defiant, and its large set of well-developed cast and recurring characters.
  5. That's who it sounded like to me too. Plus the whole seems consistent with her character.
  6. Just posting some old pics and a new one of a ridiculously poseable, super-articulated blue chick. Enjoy!
  7. Check back with Husker in about 9 months or so; he might regret it then.
  8. I'll admit: I didn't know where that Tenacious D song was going until they started singing around the 1 minute mark. Pretty kick-ass, acoustic rendition of the song! And now, the. . . .umm. . . . "language" of love. . . . And I finally found a linkable version of the official video. Enjoy all the 90's video cliches!
  9. "Striker Eureka" Should that be pronounced "YOU-ree-kah" or "Ay-YOU-rek-ah"? If its blades can act as boomerangs (It's supposed to be an Aussie mech, right?) and it's angel wings turn into a surfboard, I'm guessing we should use the second pronunciation for this two-seater mecha.
  10. Okay, whoever thought it was a good idea to stick a massive high-beam flashlight on their rifles is a dumbass. Yes! Give away your location to the enemy. At least we now know where the Old Man first learned the "grab blunt cylindrical object, bash Cylon repeatedly in neck and head with said object, continue until Cylon is thoroughly dead" technique. So, what have we learned? Flashlight as gun sighting accessory? Bad idea! Flashlight as Cylon skull-bashing tool? Good idea!
  11. Too bad they don't have in-scale Jammer or Leoben figures, tied up and ready to be sucked out of the launch tube.
  12. Gotta say, I'm liking the WWII-style gunport on the back of the old Raptors. Also, dogfights in the clouds are always so beautiful to watch.
  13. Yep, I called it: Also, was it just me, or was there a massive disconnect between Episode 22 and 23? Wow, with the way this series ended, they really managed to sh*t on all the characters from their own series and shat royally on a few of the characters from the original series: * And way to marginalize Maurice, Maeter, and Linck! Not one damn token reference to them at all? It's not like they were patiently waiting for their parents to return the last time we saw them or that the original series showed them to be an integral part of Eureka and Renton's budding family. So disappointed with how this series eventually panned out. So much wasted potential.
  14. Very purrty work on this one. Like all the little custom touches here and there too. Looking at the back left shot, it looks like the Stealth stole the Thunder Hammer armor for Hikaru's VF-1J, especially with the red-stripe-on-white scheme.
  15. Surprisingly, yes. When I first bought the DVD, that short was actually the first thing I watched. At the time, I knew "of" WALL-E, but I didn't really know much about the movie's plot or overall story. Regarding the figurines, is there one of Fix-It Felix, Jr. that
  16. Even after reading some of the spoilers here, I still got a massive kick out of this film. All the little video game references were brilliant. And the story was touching without being too overly-saccharine. Who'd a thunk we would finally get a really good video-game-based movie film?! Not sure if it was originally attached to the theatrical release but the BURN-E short attached the WALL-E DVD is pretty hard to top. Don't get me wrong Paperman was good and full of heart. But BURN-E just hits a certain comedic sweet spot with me.
  17. I didn't like that the new Trek lacked any underlying theme/allegory about the human condition or about our current world. Back to Star Wars though, anybody but J.J. He can write a fast-paced plot. But I just find his style lacking, especially once you sit back and start poking holes in his plots.
  18. Seeing as Sephiroth is an emo little bitch with MOMMY ISSUES™, I don't think he's exactly an improvement over Vader. But a Palpatine and Kefka team up? That'd be a tough combo to beat (assuming they don't kill each other first).
  19. Holy-Frakin'-ShitStar!!! And this isn't being aired on television because?
  20. So essentially, you're asking for a Yoda movie.
  21. IT PUTS THE HOUQUET IN THE BASKET!!!!
