    Basil tirando uma página diretamente do roteiro chinês... por que desenvolver um projeto original quando os Estados Unidos já fez o trabalho difícil? E o nome do caça me faz pensar no grito do capitão Kirk em A Ira de Khan.

    If that were the case, the waxy pigment would've been crooked and smeared, like Jack Burton after trading spit with Gracie Law (Big Trouble in Little China). That figure looks a lot more like it was self-applied in front of a makeup mirror...

    I don't doubt. If they aren't cutting steel for the molds necessary for the Blazer specific parts, I'm sure they already have all the necessary 3D data done, validated and ready to go to the toolmaker.

    This actually makes perfect sense. Other than the head and the addition of the speaker fins on the shoulder pauldrons, the unit is identical to the Fire Valk. I may get this but I'm really interested in the Emerald Force's S and F Blazer variants.

    My wallet AND bank account just whimpered, and I swear every one of my credit cards just gave me the evil eye, at the mere thought of how much something like this would cost...

    A giant cavernous warehouse building shaped like a coliseum made entirely of boxes, most still sealed, some in shippers, with their mint status content safely encased within...

    Not likely to be a coliseum but something more akin to the giant warehouse seen at the end of Raiders of the Lost Arc...

    As long as nostalgia-brained individuals with money to burn keep buying, apparently so...

    Indeed. Disney is, by no means, the only guilty party in the wholesale destruction of legacy IPs; however, they are, by far, the worst offenders.

    That has been the case for me regarding Star Wars: I have zero desire to rewatch the originals and prequals because, thanks to Disney, all roads lead to Jake Skywalker and "wonder" Rey Palpatine; similarly, Marvell has also been severely tainted to the point phases 1-4 have no rewatch value anymore. Some, a small part, of the sentiment is due to me outgrowing these IPs to be sure, but the bulk of it is due to what those in charge have done to them. It is actually quite sad just how much they've screwed the pooch -- chasing, and pandering to, the "Modern Audience" and laughably bad writing and execution-- with once guaranteed crowd pleasers and money makers and merchandizing juggernauts... now moribund, easily ignored, husks of their former selves.

    Not my cup of tea to be honest but I don't consider these public domain derived slasher flicks any more of a butchery of the original IPs than what Disney has been doing for at least the last half a decade or so; in a way, given their tongue-in-cheek nature, they're FAR less damaging to the classics than abominations like the "live" action Snow White.

    Prequels, sequels, reboots, retellings, (usually soulless and often butchered) live-action(ish) remakes... every Disney division is completely bereft of originality, inspiration and sorely lacking in what an entertainment company should excel at producing: compelling storytelling.
