    Ohhhhh. I see why the green lion looks so boxy. It's the panels hiding the lion legs that are doing it. ... Can't tell if those panels fold away somehow or if they're additional pieces that just snap on when hiding the legs is desired.

    I do not disagree with you at all. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to quote the opening. I'm less disappointed by these figures because, frankly, I never expected to see new Silverhawks figures in the first place. I'm pleasantly surprised there's enough demand to justify making figures at all, even if the lack of any sort of metallic effect is a downer.

    Partly metal. Partly real.

    I just want it noted that I'm scoring their sound direction 0/10 solely because there wasn't a reverb effect when Adam shouted "I have the power!". But using "I Need a Hero" for the commercial was nice.

    Seconded. Needs more chrome!

    The 32x wasn't cancelled. It just shoulda been.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Podtastic.

    The wheels of the licensing machine grind slowly, particularly where "back catalog" content is involved.

    Does anyone else keep seeing this thread and thinking it is about a sequel to that movie where Shaquille O'Neal was a genie?

    Let's be fair, there's a LOT of reasons that Max putting a zentradi uniform on his Valk doesn't make sense. Scale's just one of them.

    I stand corrected, then.

    Yeah, most of Boeing's problems are from eating too much Mickey-D's. The management that had run McD into the ground managed to negotiate control of Boeing in the merger, somehow. And proceeded to do the same things all over again. And at this point I don't think Boeing is healthy enough to turn down the cash, no matter how badly the designers flubbed it.

    There was a persistent rumor it was a motorcycle accident, and I believe the actual news coverage at the time said "illness", but... yeah.

    At last, a Bay Prime I'm interested in!

    The framing, at least, was intentional and Animeigo was very proud of it. It was to ensure the entire intended image landed inside the overscan area of the TVs of the day. The chopped head would still have landed in the overscan area of a picture tube in 2001. The then-new LCD televisions also had generous image crops to emulate overscan, because every source to feed them assumed overscan. I suspect the colors are similarly "mastered for CRT". I've noticed on some recent rewatces that a lot of stuff looks VERY different depending on what display you're using. I've only ever watched the Animeigo DVDs on a picture tube, but some other anime DVDs I was very fond of "back in the day" were completely intolerable on LCD and I had to hook a DVD player to my old CRT to watch them. I guess I should throw my SDF Macross DVDs in the computer and see what they look like.

    Me too. Now the only converting robot toys on american shelves are Transformers and weird dollar-store things. There's no in-between.

    What the crap?! How in the ever-loving heck is that acceptable?! Who approved that deflector dish, and how were they not fired out of a cannon?!?!
  18. JB0
    That's what it looks like to me: at 800 preorders the toy gets bigger.

    Probably that derpy Nous-ger.

    They all look pretty terran to me. And honestly, I don't see a huge diffrence between the reguld and glaug. One is very clearly descended from the other.
  21. JB0
    Oh, definitely. I declared it to be "the most R-Type stage ever", and in my head those are every player ship that's ever gone boom.
  22. JB0
    That's the route I've cleared, too. The boss is definitely underwhelming. I like the stage as a whole. Very moody.
  23. JB0
    Which route? And Granzella's said the full R-Museum is gonna be free updates. Which was a pleasant surprise since they never made the funding goal for it. Paid expansion content plans thus far are limited to the homage stages.

    You can make do without a lotta bits(headcanon them away as "battle damage" if they're too noticable), but a face is pretty important.
  25. JB0
    I hope they take care of you quickly. In the meantime, he can be set up with Revenge of the Fallen Prime and his face-ripping claws, though!
