    Now I remember why I stopped making GI Joe customs (other than lack of inspiration and motivation): Getting the appropriate custom fodder/parts/figures gets expensive after awhile. With the Cover Girl figure I did awhile back, I started with a Lady Jaye torso and then had to buy four additional figures just to get the parts I needed to make the figure. Even with some of the extra fodder I have lying around, Ghostrider's looking to be just as expensive. Even tried to make a couple of trades for the parts I needed, but both deals fell through. Oh well, I already purchased the last few parts I'll need. So hopefully, everything comes together nicely.

    One of my earlier and personal favorite memories of Edge was back around the Sunday Night Heat days. Action spilled outside the ring, Jeff Hardy was running along the top of the outside barriers, jumped to try to hit some move, and then Edge just speared the ever-loving crap out the guy. Too bad I can't find video of it on YouTube. Sucks that Edge is retiring, but glad he's getting out before he becomes another statistic. Hope he makes the most out of his post-wrestling life.

    I have the old-fashioned one that goes in and out of the plane body. Definitely doesn't look like a tail hook at all.

    See, I told you. All this talk about the Sky Striker really did make me bust this old bird out of mothballs : A couple of parts had fallen off over the years (nephews getting their hands on it and neglect while she stayed at my parents' house). But once I found all the parts lying around, it was pretty easy to put back together again. Practically 100% complete, except the front landing gear is slightly damaged (functional, but have to go easy with it). Got the itch to make an updated/custom 25th/Modern Era Ghostrider to go with the X-19 too! Looking forward to hanging this and the Sky Striker up on the nursery ceiling.

    Not too shabby of an episode (or two). So, does Chewie owe Ahsoka and those Padawans a life-debt now?

    I'm starting to notice more the disproportions between the cockpit and the rest of the plane. And I'm not a big fan of having the landing gears drop when the wings get swept forward. But I'm still looking forward to getting this Sky Striker!! I'm gonna have to decorate the nursery for my upcoming son anyways! Might even pull my old Phantom X-19 out of mothballs and hang it up in the room too. So what if the kid's still in the womb? I gotta start "influencing" him early! Regarding the rest of the figures, I'm glad they're getting back to more of a collector's focus and also releasing figures under the Renegades banner. I just hope they don't make the same mistake and halt all these lines once the inevitable GI Joe 2 movie comes out.

    <channeling my inner Yoda>: No, there is another. . . . . . The Dark Knight Rises. Regarding the new WW costume, it looks slightly better. But wouldn't the Star-Spangled panties be easier to hide under a business suit than those tight blue pants/leggings?

    Maybe I've watched too much wrestling over the years, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that Christian's turning heel and costing Edge the title.

    Thanks for heads up, UN Spacy! Is it just me, or did Rock have that fang-looking grin usually reserved for Revy or Balalaika at the end of the ep? Interesting back-stories revealed here too. Can't heap enough praise on these OVAs! Definitely on par with the stuff from the first two seasons!

    But today is Monday, Monday, Monday (or "Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday" if you're on the other side of the globe). MAKE IT STOP!!

    Notice the similarity? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrfQZ_anNYM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxdakLrnSvg Granted I only recently heard the original Led song a few weeks back. But considering that I've been enjoying Cold Rock the Mic for YEARS (since GT2 first came out), I'm surprised I didn't make the connection until now.

    Glad to be hearing from a lot of you folks over in Japan. Hoping and praying that you all stay safe and away from any dangers. Before we start pointing any fingers about how these disasters have been handled, let's not forget that the difference between a 6.0 and a 8.9 or 9.0 earthquake is EXPONENTIAL, meaning the difference is sorta like the difference between 1,000,000 (106) and 1,000,000,000 (109). I doubt most earthquake-proof building designs are made to withstand an 8.9 earthquake. Can any civil or structural engineers chime in on the subject?

    Alright, looks like I'm gonna have to retract my earlier rant about the upcoming Bespin Han figure. Rebelscum released a new pic of the figure, and the paint apps on the headsculpt look much, much better: Looks a lot more promising now.

    Nice follow-up episode. It was pretty fun to see the clever ways the heroes escaped the various traps (even if half of them involved blowing sh#t up real good). And it kinda sucked to see But at least, we're seeing that this isn't some easy task with minimal casualties.

    My customs: Considering the amount of time, thought, and effort that went into both of these, I don't think I could ever bring my self to sell either of them.

    Depending on where you live, I'm either right on time or day earlier. . . In any case, we lost one of the best hip-hop producers exactly one year ago. RIP Nujabes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezY1h1II7XM Best damn hook-maker this side of Dr. Dre.

    So, it's not a prequel to Taken? Kinda wish it was.

    Has anyone tried washing the clear tips in warm soapy water like Los suggested a page or two back? Curious if that solved the issue or not.

    So, will every episode end with Blazing Sword pwning all? One of my buddies used to joke around that if we ever got enough money to greenlight a Hollywood movie, we'd make a live-action version of Voltron. But we'd make it ultra-low-budget: use a guy in a boxy Voltron suit for the fight scenes (ala Power Rangers), constantly reuse stock footage for the fights and battles, and spend the absolute bare minimum for any CGI or special effects (think models tied with string, obvious scene-cuts for explosions, etc.). I don't know why, but this idea gave us too much entertainment and amusement.

    Kinda wished Favraeu was still at the helm for this third film. He really showed in the commentary to Iron Man 2 that he understands how the fans will dissect a bit or scene. And his responses to those assumed criticism were pretty well thought out. Also,he wasn't afraid to admit something along the lines of "Yeah, I know this is a bunch of bullsh*t, but this is how Tony cures himself and makes a new, never discovered before periodic element." Never seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But the fact that this new director is attached to Death Note has me intrigued.
  21. Mog
    Yeah, that's more like it! No highfalutin concepts about the Force, just a straight up "Invade the Fortress and Get the Hell Out of There" story. Good to see some struggles/death and our heros facing off against some more formidable droid opponents.
  22. Mog
    Interesting. BUT I want everything he says to be subtitled!! So, if he's saying, I want subtitles that translate that as, "Yes."
  23. Mog
    Just what do you think you're doing, CoryHolmes? Just don't hook the trivia-answering bastard up to a super-dimensional space fortress. Or Skynet. Or connect it to a Cybernetic Lifeform Node with a monothesist belief system. Or allow it to turn us into an energy source after we send up massive nuclear clouds to block out the sun in an attempt to depower our new mechanical overlords. Frak it: let's just tell Watson to divide by zero and be done with it.

    'cuz they wanna make it hip, modern, and relatable. Good gravy that casting sheet sounds like a bad chick flick! Let me guess, if they get to a Season 2 or 3, WW is gonna FINALLY get all her crazy, conflicting aspects of her life in order. . . . . . only to get pregnant or adopt a baby!!!! It would have been cool if they did the series as a less brooding, slightly less sassy version of Dark Angel (without the stupid human-animal hybrids crap from the second season, of course ).

    I just hope there's some nice panels and molded detailing on the Sky Striker. It's time to apply all those customizing skills we learned on our Valks to yet another toy line.
