    Oh heck, that'd get me to stop admiring the art and buy in too.

    They'll give you a corner office as President of Make a Deluxe-class Gears.

    Several of their old AC models are being reissued. They're also making new ones for AC6.

    Apparently, Kotobukiya unveiled the next Bishoujo Transformer design, and it's everyone's favorite backstabber to genderswap in fanfics to repaint in toylines Starscream. I think it's the best in the line so far, in terms of capturing personality and original design. Though they're still too rich for my blood. I really like this one. The wings-as-purse and canopy-as-tie give her a vague schoolgirl vibe(in one of those anime schools where there's no uniform for recurring characters, and the dress code allows bare midriffs), and I can't not hear her going "Of COURSE I'm not questioning your leadership, Megatron-senpai!" Weirdly, the decepticons are 2/2 on high-heels while the autobots are 0/2. But after all these years of walking on exhaust nozzles, Starscream kinda HAD to have high heels just as surely as Optimus HAD to have boots.

    It is kinda funny that Q is Picard's signature antagonist, when Q considered Picard the closest thing in the universe he had to a friend. ... Was Q just tsundere?

    It has been a very long time. I remember Suncoast had the Macross Plus valks, and then the legalese hissyfits started and everything stopped.

    Still a weird choice, but I respect that they actually did remolds for the fatal wounds. I think it's actually weirder for having two corpses in the box, though.

    Same. There's few shots out there that really emphasize how utterly MASSIVE the dang thing is.

    I actually have that set. A nice collection of MIA dinobot weapons, and hands and feet for my headcanon Dino-Soar. Was pleasantly surprised that the two silver blocks for Volcanicus's shoulders are sized almost perfect to fill the gaps in Sky Lynx's torso ribs. They don't lock in, though. I need to rig a GI Joe-esque rubber band and hook solution. Did I overpay, given half the pieces are completely useless to me? Yeah, I did. Would I do it again? *siiiigh* Yeah, I would. My set's wrists can't hold the sword either.

    They're just going to rename the Enterprise-G that was under construction to Titan-B. The marking guys are working overtime, since they only just finished painting over the LAST designation. The hull probably started as the Defiant-C.

    New tooling to put a hole in his chest, but they couldn't spring for a dash of orange paint in his mouth? Lazy!

    My understanding is they don't do anything more than required to re-estblish and maintain the trademarks because they have a very good working relationship with TakaraTomy and don't want to hurt it by making deals with TT's biggest rival. Which SUCKS.

    I was kinda joking. I wouldn't mind seeing a Rock Lords revival(or is that a reunion tour), but am aware there's not much nostalgia for them. Bandai owns all of Machine Robo uncontested. My understanding is that Revenge of Cronos is just the most popular of the Machine Robo cartoons. If they're gonna waste time licensing out toy robots not from Gundam or Super Sentai, they may as well go for the biggest puddle. Hasbro owns the Go-Bots names and setting, not the original toys(but WB owns the US cartoon).

    Rock Lords 2.0, baby!

    So... Sharon Apple? We're in an odd place where life is imitating art and Macross has become prophetic. Plus gave us a sci-fi futuristic virtual idol, and now VTuber is a recognized profession. Frontier showed AI drones flying with a human commander as a "force multiplier", and the Air Force has stated they're currently developing exactly that.

    Artemis Prime* combines two of my favorite things, space travel and toy robots, into one glorious existence. I want it now. *That's his name, no one can convince me otherwise.

    That's nothing new for the Mouse. Even when flush with money, they stiff everyone they can get away with.

    Ooooh, a new Shockwave toy? Is it a new mold, or just a recolor of Siege? *hits a search engine* Ummm... I can't find pictures of this new Shockwave, just some pics of Starscream dressed up as Ultra Magnus that people are CLAIMING is Shockwave?

    In fairness, even if they COULD afford him it isn't like he'd take their call. It's a pretty deep rift there(and one entirely of HG's making).

    It's kind of bad timing, given Asus is currently trying to redirect bad press from "our ROG motherboards are making brand-new Ryzen processors literally explode" ... and then managing to generate even more bad press in the process by telling people to install beta BIOS updates that void your warranty.

    It ain't just you. I understand the desire to save parts counts and material volumes, but... if they gonna leave gaping voids, they need to be in places where we ain't starin' at 'em all day.

    A multiverse, hmmm? Maybe this is Stracynski's way of backdooring funding for that Captain Power remake he was pushing like five years ago!

    I mean, complete disarmament in a universe where alien armies in millions-strong fleets roam around operating under a policy of shoot first, shoot later, forget the questions... it does sound just a little stupid, no? The universe is a very dangerous place, and having some sort of defensive force "just in case" is kind of unambiguously a good idea.

    You'll have to forgive Seto. He's been catching the pulse from one too many unknown satellites, and now he's free to fly high in space.

    The REALLY funny thing is that Voyager, like Picard, had a scene where the borg were assimilating the ship's crew remotely. But they were defeated swiftly through the activation of the Emergency Command Hologram and deployment of the photonic cannon! ... We'll just ignore that it was literally a dream sequence. (I actually had forgotten this clip "involved" the borg.)
