  1. I got bitter about the initial Japan-only offer for the missiles and started looking into other alternatives to arm the Tread and potentially the Legioss too.
  2. And minimal paint apps on those pilots and bikes. . . . And hot pink Houquet. 🤮 . . . And no articulation on the Tread pilot for some odd reason. But it is nice to see them all in flying formation.
  3. Umm, pretty sure I've pointed out Sentinel's issues over the years and in recent posts:
  4. Well, getting a mythical Lansay Tread is a special enough occasion to bust all of those Treads/Betas out.
  5. I still have a poop-ton of respect for the old MPC Beta. Solid ratchet-joints galore. A cockpit and pilot in the same scale as the Alpha. The combined fighter looking like a cohesive connected unit. Even the bloody stickers were superior to what Yamato was churning out for the 1/48 VF-1’s! (Most of the NO STEPS and smaller stickers from Yamato had a gauzy look to them. The Beta’s were much clearer.) Yes, they compromised with just folding down the cockpit for battloid mode. Yes, there’s no top shoulder missiles. And there’s large gaps in bomber mode. But it’s still been the best version of the Tread/Beta for the past 15+ years.
  6. Yeah, just a little punchy. I have my gripes and nits about the Sentinel toys. But overall, they’re a pretty damn good Mospeada set. You got renditions of all four of the main characters in their ride armors. Despite the updated interpretation, there’s not too many questionable deviations from the original designs. They made some incredible modifications to the transformation process for the Legioss, making it compact and locked in fighter mode but with solid joints for armo-soldier mode. AND they did some nice design improvements with the upcoming Tread. CM’s probably has the larger spread of Mospeada toys out there. But they’ve got those breakage issues for the bikes; non-turning heads, the tailfins that don’t completely hide for combo mode, and other issues with the Legioss; and that utterly horrible combined fighter-bomber look for the Legioss-Tread.
  7. Would you rather it be the CM’s scale? And who the hell is Lancer?
  8. Well, Stitch is an adorable yet punk-ass bastard. To paraphrase Pulp Fiction, charm goes a long way. Wonder if Tia Carrere (Nani’s original voice actor) will make a cameo?
  9. Ask for pics of the grey joints that swivel the bike armor under the armpits. Those have been the trouble spots, regardless of it being an original or reissue. A good chunk of folks have had that particular joint get cracked on their copies. Might want to also look at the grey torso, as paint chipping can occur from putting the armor on and off the figure.
  10. Any chance they can do a continuation of the old animated series?
  11. One of the most memorable character actors of our time. He generally played hard-asses. But he always tweaked them a little so it didn’t feel like he was doing the same character in each movie.
  12. Way too damn young.
  13. There should be a website that specializes in selling books. [/sarcasm]
  14. Another example of song and scene just absolutely working perfectly 😅:
  15. Considering how long ago the prototype was first shown, it’s already been a long wait. But the end of summer (when these will be initially released) will be here before we know it.
  16. The Gorge was alright. Definitely a popcorn flick. The concept was a little trope-y. But whatever. Not sure if it was intentional, but really? Either that, or I’ve watched too many movies and series. 😅
  17. Finished up the last set of Cobra Kai eps. Still cheesy as hell. But there were some nice, even heartfelt and touching, moments in the end there. The show ended well. For something we all thought was a bloody joke when it first came out (on YouTube no less!), it’s nice to see the show finish up. Dare I say, it found a nice way to balance silliness and heartfelt growth. 😉
  18. Mudhorns taking on remnants:
  19. Cherry Red > Hot Pink 😉:
  20. Guess it was too expensive to have everyone finish up the series in Barcelona: Let’s see if they can finish this up solidly.
  21. No, in the subtitles. Those words don’t show up at all, even though I know I’m hearing them.
  22. So, is the Hulu translation of the lyrics for “What ‘bout My Star?” accurate? Because I don’t think I ever saw those exact words pop up in the subtitles. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  23. Because I’m getting close to rewatching “that” scene: Just wish I could find the actual scene on YouTube. Such a good blending of the song and the scenes. . . and then the glorious rising action in the music as the ending credits roll. Such a good kick to the feels!
