    Short answer: Yes, but there are things to be cautious about. Some parts do have a tendency to pop off. But most are ball-and-socket joints, so it’s just a matter of popping them back into place. Getting the hip armor to separate from the bike (or pushed back into the bike) can be a scary moment, but there’s a tip probably about 100 to 200 pages back in this thread about how to properly do it. And unfortunately, there have been multiple reported incidents, where the joint that connects the rib plating(?) (best way I can describe it) has cracked or broke. Thankfully haven’t had it happen to any of mine yet, but it is another area to be careful with.

    Welcome to pre-ordering. I’m just thankful it’s been relatively easy to preorder. . . . and wasn’t sold out in literally minutes (side-eyes Bandai). . . . . or isn’t scheduled behind 900 billion other things that are on preorder AND have already been delayed and who knows when they’ll actually ship (LOOKING AT YOU, HASBRO!).

    I’m curious to see a height comparison with the boys. I wouldn’t be surprised if the feet rests were moved to accommodate Houquet’s shorter height (or the higher gap in her high heel boots). I also think the strawberry blonde hair is throwing me off with Houquet’s look. I’m so used to seeing it simply yellow blonde.

    I wonder if the box art for Houquet will tease Sentinel’s next release. Like if we see Rey and/or the Tread in the background, that’s the hint. Or if we see someone in black female armor with a big ol’ TV camera, we know what’s coming down the pipeline.

    Now, we wait . . . and pray that all the shipping logistic issues get resolved by later April/early May.

    It's so weird: I look at the Houquet pics on my iPhone, they look like the nice cherry red I used to custom painted the figure that came with the Zeta. I look at the exact same pics on my laptop, and they look like they lean more towards a pinkish red. Not the day-glow pink of the Zeta figure, but definitely leaning more towards the pinkish-red side. Like I said. . . weird. A few other things I noticed, it looks like Houquet's upper arms and chest won't be covered in fabric like the boys: Despite the nit-picks, I am glad that Sentinel is finally completing the set and looks to have nailed more right (than wrong) on this iteration. . . . . . So, is it too early to speculate about a TREAD prototype? (OUR DEMANDS NEVER END! 🤪) EDIT: Looks like the legs extend for armor mode, except they'll extend above the ankles for Houquet instead of extending below the knees (like with the boys). . . . And no mud guard or the WWII invasion stripes on the hips like they did on that announcement drawing many years ago.

    Oh, you sexy bitch! Finally gonna complete the set! Yeah, I agree with everyone here: kinda wish the eyes were more “doe-like.” But the color of the armor and the bike is spot-on.

    Hopefully, Boba has good “people skills”:

    So. . . . . Boba decided to go to the “real” dark side: management.

    I’m sure there’s a bunch of scenes I could pull from this series, but the teamwork in this one was fun to see (plus, the bonkers thing the boss does to keep fighting was <chef’s kiss>):

    Hopefully, Boba remembers the lessons from Mandalorian history and from science fiction: 1). DON’T get too involved with any Force wielders. Ever. 2). Keep your distance (both figuratively and literally) from these same Force wielders. 3). Taking over a desert fiefdom from a overweight and gluttonous predecessor is fraught with dangers. If Boba starts growing a magnificent beard, he’s dead meat! 🤪

    I remember my wife forcing me to watch Hunger Games, and constantly having to explain “This was important in the book.” If there’s too much of that going on in an adaptation, I get annoyed. With this film, it doesn’t feel like that’s an issue. I think only the Bene Gesseret stuff would be a little hard to follow for a newbie. Their whole genetic breeding plans and LOOOOOOONG-term planning aren’t too elaborated here.

    Finally watched it last night. My only previous experiences with Dune are the 84 film and a Wiki-level readthru about some of the main book characters. I enjoyed the current movie and thought they did a nice job with the House Atreides characters. Definitely liked the slow pace, allowing us time to really get a feel for the universe and to “live” in it. I am curious though to see how someone with minimal knowledge of Dune would view the movie though.

    Yeah, this was pretty accurate! 😂 Obvious SPOILERS:

    ^^Netflix is also getting rights to stream the original anime starting Oct. 21st. Would be nice if they included the movie in that deal too.

    Would’ve prefer a few of their B-sides added to the playlist, but this was a good mix with a few surprises tossed in:

    Well like 99.999999999% of most video games, the X button gets spammed and mashed to death. . . much like the participants in the Squid Game! On another note, just finished Ted Lasso. Yes, it can be a bit cheesy and saccharine, but damn, is it so frakkin’ good! Really good character work there.

    Am I the only schmuck that thinks of the Despicable Me minions when he sees the circle, triangle, and square pinkies?
