    But to echo what @505thAirborne said, the fighter combo is shite. And the yellow array on the Tread sticks up incorrectly in bomber mode. None of the lineart ever showed the yellow array positioned the way CM’s has it.

    I always liked this song, but despised that most radio stations play it back-to-back with “Jaded.” I just prefer Brain Stew as a stand-alone song.

    Nice! Wonder if we’ll get similar pics of Moff Gideon or some of the other baddies.

    Don't forget that in Season 1 But let's see what they do for Season 3. They took a concept a lot of us initially thought would suck, and actually made it into something enjoyable and entertaining.

    Should that be STICK or STIG? It's a good thing the MW boards are not ruled by a merciless REY, because we'd all be FUKE'd, issued YELLOW card warnings, and would probably have to pay a huge MINT of a fine.

    That custom VF-1D! The weathering and panel-lining take it so many levels above the unmodified 1/60.

    A billion slow panning shots of the ship at every single conceivable angle AND lense flare?!

    From what I read, Filoni did it as an homage to the WWII bomber nose arts. However, he eventually decided against it and wrote in the Anakin-Padme long-distance holo-call instead. Considering we only see Padme once in Season 7, he figured the holo-call would be a better tie-in/callback to ROTS. Just FYI, the nose art writing translates to “Good to be Bad.”

    Why am I only discovering this now? Wonder if anyone has done this nose art on a Republic gunship toy?

    Added some ARC troopers to the 501st’s ranks:

    So after unboxing the 501st ARC’s and messing with them, here’s my impressions. CON’s: * The weapons are definitely a bit rubbery and more “bendy” than previous versions. * The chest armor/shoulder pauldrins piece does tend to move around a lot. * Leg movement is definitely hindered by the plastic kama skirts. * Jesse’s helmet shouldn’t have the fin and drop-down sensor on it. PRO’s: * Each figure is loaded for bear, sporting dual pistols, a blaster, and a rifle. * Paint apps on the faces and helmets are spot on. * Even though they’re the same mold, Hasbro did more than enough with the paint apps to make each ARC have his own unique look. * Each figure is articulated to the hilt, including ball hinged wrists, rocker ankles, and ball hinged hips. * Although it’s a little hard to get to and move (without also moving the ball hinge hip joint), the figures also have an additional swivel joint, where the upper white thigh armor meets the black part of the legs. * The blaster can be mounted to the backpack, and the rifle can also be squeezed onto the backpack in two spots, allowing you to store all the weapons on the figure and/or change their layout a bit. TIPS AND CUSTOM TOUCHES: * When removing the helmet, I’ve found pinching the helmet just a little bit from the front and back helps to make taking it off a little easier. * In order to be more screen accurate, I trimmed the fin off Jesse’s helmet and cut off, thinned out, and then repainted the drop-down sensor. * If wanting to get wider stances and poses with the legs, you can try cutting the bottom straps (that make an “X”) from the skirt. I only cut one strap on one figure, but it did allow for a wider A stance: In any case, more pics: The 501st Legion’s specialists and leaders:

    1/55's revisited

    Mog replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Didn’t @takatoys also make sticker or decal sets back in the day too? I remember getting a set for the Yammy 1/60 YF-19 V1 way back when.

    I’ve said it before, but I really hope Miguel’s dad isn’t someone from the previous movies. But yeah, we got more things to look forward to in 2021 (in addition to it no longer being 2020).

    Can we add Kevin Conroy to that mix and just have them voice act? Hamill could be some crazy agent of chaos, Conroy could play a rich guy with TONS of issues, and Stewart could play some cold-hearted dude with a sad backstory. (Moggy’s still not bitter over never seeing Stewart play Mr. Freeze! ) . . . In other Trek tangents, I always thought one of the guest actresses in TOS sounded like Dr. Pulaski from TNG. Turns out it actually was the same actress in both TOS and TNG. Yes, Moggy’s an idiot that only learned and confirmed that yesterday.

    Season 2 (or second half of Season 1) started up yesterday. Definitely always a visceral experience.

    Curious how your custom looks compared to the shelled up Hasbro Clone Wars version. Does the Clone Wars one still look undersized or somewhat “passable”?

    The heavy-hitters have come out! Nice collections, gentlemen.

    Back in the 80's, Mattel KNEW Falcon would one day get Cap's shield!

    When you mix the music with the action on the screen oh so perfectly. Forgot about it for awhile, but one of the best starts to a film in a long while:

    If they’re sending it by boat, it seems like average shipping time has been about 10 weeks, based on everyone’s anecdotal experiences getting stuff from Asia. I’m assuming you’re in the US?

    Looking over that thread link again, a true 1/18 scale MF would be a monster. The sheer size of it would probably be a detractor. Plus, there’s a bunch of challenges that would have to be solved where the interiors don’t exactly mesh with the ship’s exterior. And to get anywhere close to the level of detail that rouge1 was putting into his custom, I’m scared to ask what Hasbro’s asking price would be.

    Actually, I was referring to this build up: https://forum.rebelscum.com/threads/scale-millennium-falcon-wip.1003955/ Hasn’t been updated for the past two years, but the amount of details was insane.
