    Generally, we’ve seen claims and challenges to possession of the Dark Saber occur over one-on-one combat. Defeat of your opponent (not necessarily resulting death) is generally enough to validate one’s claim. Sabine actually defeated someone who challenged her claim to the Dark Saber, and let the dude live (what he did afterwards was his own damn fault). Of course, one red-faced dude decided in another case to go full Highlander and chop off his opponent’s head. And if we start hearing about how Mandos can’t fight on ground they deem holy, or if neutral observers must be present to watch a challenge, all while we hear Queen-like rock riffs, then I’m calling copyright infringement.

    So. . . it’s gonna be Highlander The Series? There can only be one . . . way? MANDOLANDER!!11!!!

    I mean, I like an occasional instant noodle (especially if I get to mix in an egg and sometimes some cabbage). But back in those days, I was able to save the funds for my “hobbies.” Who knew date nights with the future wifey and then diapers and formula would cut into the toy budget?! But back to that listing, where does “Get itch to make your own customs” fall in the list. Or does it take about 3 or 4 cycles before that step is added?

    But are udon and soba inexpensive enough to help you offset your collectibles payments and debts? The whole eating ramen thing was a running joke back in the day for how some folks would afford to get all their Macross crack/goodies.

    ^^And the old standard: “Eat ramen for the whole month, while I pay off all the things I bought.”

    Nah screw that, I wanted the Robeast Combiner with Blazing Scimitar!! Snowball’s chance in hell of it ever getting made, but a man can dream. . . . Or just give us Legendary Defender Voltie with eleven-billionty accessories and such.

    Spouse and kids tend to slow the cycle down. . . . Didn’t say it stops it completely, mind you. Just slows it significantly.

    For a second there, I thought, “Oh crap! What new Voltron SOC did they just announce?!” My wallet and display space appreciate the breather.

    It doesn’t help that the Sentinel Zeta is also a darker shade of red than previous versions of the Red Alpha/Legioss. Really makes the pink hues of the pilot come out even more.

    What happened to the eskrima sticks?

    Thanks for posting this @technoblue. Never looked at the whole Minbari caste war and issues from that angle.

    I’m sure I’ve posted pics of Luke and Wicket before. But just wanted to snap quick comparison pics. That red Alpha got a busted heel booster, and the other heel has shown some cracks. So, kinda don’t want to move it too much. Plus, I’m super OCD about the positioning I got that Alpha and the rest of those birds locked in:

    Fighter comparison pics with the Toynami Alpha: Can definitely tell that the Sentinel Zeta is a few shades darker than the Toynami Alpha. I take back what I said earlier: the pilot figure is too pink, especially when contrasted to the darker red shade of the Legioss itself. A few observations after futzing with the mech more: * It’s so much easier to pull out the vertical stabilizers, if you open the whole thing up as if you’re flipping out the hands. * Glad the plastic in the arms is a little more pliable. Allows me to pull and get the forearm to open up so much easier. * I had a hell of a time trying to get the cockpit to snap back into place for fighter mode. There’s a little tab in the front that cockpit has to snap into. * Do wish we had the option to change the cant of the wings, but it’s a minor thing.

    Beauty & The Beast:

    The Beta is wise : Beta: ”And her arms ain’t floppy.”
  17. Mog
    So yeah, one vertical stabilizer popped off when I tried to pull it out, and the back of one wing did pop off when I was messing with solider mode. But can she pull of the Bond pose? With legs in a nice A stance and arms parallel to the ground while holding a gun? Damn straight!! Regarding the Houquet figure, from far away, she looks hot pink. But close up, it can almost pass for pinkish red. More pics to come, when I get more free time.

    I know the red Legioss usually has Jupiter Base markings (not sure about Houquet’s Ride Armor). But no clue about your questions. Maybe Mospeada and The Expanse are the same universe, and Jupiter Base sides more with the Belters, and the Martians just wanna go to war with anyone! Would explain why Jupiter Base didn’t get more involved after awhile. To be serious though, perhaps that’s why that Genesis Breakers story has a female armor too (to add more females into the mix . . . and to milk that female mold Sentinel did up for Houquet).
  19. Mog
    That’s purty and just about the shade of red I wouldn’t get too miffed about, if the 1/12 ride armor wound up being that shade. Just a slight hint of pink, but still falling on the more red side of things. Nice job!
  20. Mog
    So hopefully, their “modern interpretation” sticks closer to red. Seriously, that pink just will stick out like a sore thumb in group shots. I definitely enjoyed the improvements and tweaks they did from the initial prototype to the second one. Just hope Sentinel can nail the colors next.
  21. Mog
    Glad that something good came out of this whole “discussion.”
  22. Mog
    I get slow-rolling the show and slowly peeling back the “real” story. But we’re treading verrrrrrry close to Inhumans, Iron Fist (Season 1), Jessica Jones (Season 2), Agent Carter (Season 2) levels of boredom here. Dumb wild theory time: With all the Hydra commercial references, I wonder if Agents of SHIELD’s Framework (kind of a spin on The Matrix) is involved and mixing with Wanda’s realty warping skills.
  23. Mog
    ^^Wouldn’t be the first time for me, considering how much I paid for a Matchbox SDF-1 and a 1/48 TV Max (and maybe a YF-21?). But I’d rather not go down that road, and just have Sentinel go with the right color from the start. I actually wish Yellow’s ride was a little lighter or a more faded shade of blue, but it was close enough. If Sentinel gets Houquet’s color “close enough,” I’ll grumble a little and move on. But seriously, that metallic pink color won’t mesh with these guys:
  24. Mog
    Like I said, we could argue this forever. Hell, the color of her armor varies even from scene to scene. Most of these scenes I snapped below show the armor leaning more towards red, but you can find examples in the exact same eps where it’s more pinkish: Bottom line: I don’t think we can rely on the animation to say whether the armor is definitively red or pink. PERSONALLY, I’d like for it to be definitively red. But if we’re arguing whether the final product’s color is more red or more pink, I can live with that compromise position. Just NOT that metallic or hot pink color in the poster above.
  25. Mog
    Nah, this is the catch-all Mospeada thread. So, it’s fine. Regarding the series, to paraphrase a quote from Wreck-It Ralph, they gave Stick one of of the cruelest backstories ever. His fiancé dies right after saying yes. All his crewmates die. His Legioss gets thrashed. And after living on Mars all his life, he gets a literal thunder storm poured on top of him. Unfortunately, there’s also more Mint side plots awaiting you. I guess precocious kid was one of those tropes we just couldn’t avoid back in the 80’s. And if memory serves me right, there are a few additional nude scenes.
