    That's MISTER ASS to you.

    Like I said, I really think Retaliation's trailer is pretty solid. But this is still my most favorite GI Joe trailer ever :

    Thanks for the update to the new pics. Sucks that the Beagle line was never completed. How many years has it been since that prototype was first revealed?. . . . Almost 3 years now?!

    ^^from the above link: "legendary Billy Gunn" Of all the names to end with, they finish up with him. Wow. . . just wow. <snicker>

    Thanks for all the pics, Graham. Really digging the matte black finish of the final product. And the head doesn't look so fiveheaded anymore with all the markings on it. But DAMN!! Those cloudy Yamato stickers rear their ugly head again! Don't know if this is the case with the ones that came with the 1/60 Version 2's, but it seems that Yamato's stickers have been consistently hazey and cloudy throughout the years. I'm looking at the stock stickers on my Toynami Betas, and they still look beautiful, crisp, and clear, even against the dark blue background areas. If a company like Toynami can improve the quality of their stickers, why can't Yamato step up their game in this area?

    I absolutely despised the first movie. About the only thing they got right was the Baroness' ass. But as a fan of the old Marvel comics GI Joe run, let me count the ways this new trailer has me intrigued: No accelerator suits; Cobra Commander sporting his classic chrome faceplate look (and not that weird breathmask or glass facemask thingie); Less science fiction-y elements, less techie weapons, and more good old fashioned BULLETS (ain't nothing wrong with science fiction, just not in a more military,action-based series like GI Joe); More ninja action; The new production crew took the only interesting plot point from the first movie (Zartan disguised as the President) and went full bore with it (Cobra flags draping the White House ); and Better nods/homages for the old-school fans (Roadblock--and NOT Heavy Duty--rocking the Ma Deuce, Jinx fighting with a blindfold on). It looks like the NEW production crew has a better understanding of what endears GI Joe to us old fans. Really, that's all you want from a movie adaptation: that the people behind the camera show enough love and respect to the original source material. Granted, the movie may still suck ass. But at least, this trailer seems a lot more promising.

    That is freakin' awesome!! And to those co-workers of mine who just had to come into work dog-sick (instead of just TELEWORKING or, oh I don't know, staying the hell home), thanks for contributing to me and the kids getting sick! . . . Yeah, I'm gonna need to some Yoshinol to clear up the old sinuses.

    Okay, I'm intrigued. Wonder if this will be a continuation of the original anime series?

    As far as I can tell, it hasn't aired here on the east side of the Pacific. I think last week's ep was a repeat of the Krell arc. Maybe they're on break for the holidays.

    ^^Isn't that what wikipedia or Google is for?

    After the awesomeness that was the Krell arc (save for the whole bad guy reveal bit), anyone else feel like this whole slave arc feels like a "very special" episode of the Clone Wars. Yeah, we get it: the slavers are bad.
  12. Mog
    WOW!

    Krell's an idiot. He doesn't mind going through clones like toilet paper. And yet, he can't afford to risk three clone troopers' lives on a sneak attack? What? Three clones are gonna make the difference in them capturing the capital? Now he's just being a stubborn ass. Can't wait to see how this guy bites it in the end.

    Been bumping this sh*t in the car the past few weeks: N*s trying to be the king, but the Ace is back!
  15. Mog
    Ain't nothing wrong with the term "chunky monkey"!!
  16. Mog
    Yep, the infamous and awesome "Dobber scheme," bitches! Still looks lovely, even after all these years!

    Here's an Evolutions 3-pack I wouldn't mind seeing Hasbro release (going Asian style, right-to-left): Luke Skywalker, Farmboy to Jedi Knight:
  18. Mog
    Yeah. . . this will not end well. I have a feeling the 501st will have a pre-emptive Order 66. Or
  19. Mog
    Nah, I'm perfectly happy with my 1/48 version :

    "Protesters have called for an end to fracking." That just tickles my inner Butt-Head.

    It'd be ridiculously awesome if they could add a Hikaru figure with Misa sitting on his lap (ala "Love Drifts Away").
  22. Mog
    "WE CAN BE SLAVES, OR WE CAN BE LYCANS!!!!!!!" Sorry, saw that stupid trailer far too many times.
  23. Mog
    So, no word yet whether this will include the FAST packs or not? Also, would love to see an updated side profile shot of the fighter before I make any sort of decision.
  24. Mog
    You sir have some massive stones! Curious though, were you able to incorporate the missiles that fire out of the chest area? Overall though, very nice work!

    So, I finally caved and purchased a Bastila Shan off of Ebay. Between kids and work, I wasn't gonna be one of the first people there when the stores opened up. But before I continue, I gotta say "thanks" to David Hingtgen for the following post: Because of it, I became super anal-retentive about making sure I customized Bastila to be as video-game accurate in color as possible! Here's my results (apologies for the flash shot): What's crazy is that the pink portions actually look orange in certain lighting:
