wait, are Bass/Forte's head swooshes meant to look like Wily's hair?

It's VERY weird that an early chapter had the hero seeing a girl who looks like a middle schooler nude (with the manga going out of its way to point out that she had no public hair) and by chapter 43 we're in this incredibly wholesome and supportive zone.

When Piccolo showed up like in the Post Boy fit We Knew. When one of the last things Akira Toriyama did in life was to create Janet & introduce her to Piccolo, that’s when We Knew He Knew.

I started reading Dress-Up Darling and I'd heard some unflattering things, I wasn't expecting it to be woke af

I have to stop myself from quoting this every day

And yet still no Figuarts.

Windblade was such a funny repaint considering the original toy was mostly an upgrade kit for Cybertron Optimus Prime but they never released a movieverse version of that toy. The 21st century equivalent of the Motorvators and Rescue Force being released without combiner parts.

I think my personal favourite of the AEC repaints for the movieverse line is Clocker. Yes, obviously this space convertible with massive exhaust pipes and flip out rockets should be navy and grey. Yes, make the wheels that should be clear black, even if that also makes the windscreen black.

Random figure focus: here's Jetstorm! He's one of a number of Cybertron toys repainted in movie packaging in 2008. Such figures usually had more subdued colour schemes, so Cybertron Jetfire's greens, silvers and reds were replaced with shades of grey.

hell yea my guys

Every millennial lived through a solid decade and a half of listening to old people blame their problems on us, and if that experience didn't make you swear to not repeat the cycle with people younger than us you have failed an important test of life

The movie Office Space (1999) always comes to my mind as the apex of the pre-9/11 American mentality. A movie about how the most soul-crushing and depressing thing imaginable is to have a stable job with an annoying manager.

Need some help, and need it quickly. I lost the foot on a project I was working on. Need the foot for Energon Blight (or Superlink, or either version of Kickback, but not ROTF). Happy to buy the whole blight if need be. If you're willing to sell and have one, please contact.

Desperately trying to explain to my parents what Adderall is

I've heard of Gunsmith Cats but never seen it but i should change that after loving this smooth intro www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CpI...

I'm looking through some height of the era Power Rangers toys and as much as I don't like the million shitty redesigned excuses for figures they did I can understand the desperate scrabbling for new content on shelves. I can't understand a triple pack of the same character though.

Disgaea did largely precede anime-loli culture existing beyond the fringe in the west (and boy isn't that a sentence) and I do remember seeing this print ad as an innocent normie and being like "why is that child in a leather bikini?"

One thing I do sincerely like about Power Rangers is when they saw an unmanned mecha and reverse-engineered a Ranger to go with it. Sure it was just t'sell toys but it added a little texture to the world.

Let's look at some Gekiranger mecha! The core three rangers use their martial arts training to manifest their fighting auras as the Geki Beasts, Geki Tiger, Geki Cheetah and Geki Jaguar. They look a lot rounder and smoother than other Sentai mecha, possibly due to this unusual summoning method.

So after just yesterday saying that the Gingaman mecha were sauceless I got offered a pretty great deal on a sealed(!) Giga Rhinos. And while you know I LOVE bargains I feel like me unsealing a 28-year-old imported toy that I'm not super into is wasteful.

takaratomy you put that thing back and give me a molded sticker detail seat head, or so help me

NOT what I was searching for, but I'll keep it on my radar

I'm making no promises but which Sentai mecha toyline of the following should I do a freestyle review of next? Gekiranger Gokaiger Go-Busters Zyuohger Ryusoulger

Most unrelatable thing to me is when I watch a video of a part of a video game story I wanted to re-experience but that player picked the boy PC instead of the girl. Like who are you?

This is always such a funny lede to me. "The Genesis, also known as the Mega Drive in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America..."

Now that I've said that I'm having trouble deciding which IS the best Sentai mecha toyline. Some, like this, are fun but goofy looking. Some are cool, but breakage prone. Some are a mix of 10/10 and 5/10. And some do everything right, but don't have the wow factor.

Power Rangers lost me around Turbo because of their own insistence on continuity. A running theme was that the existing zords would get destroyed once per year and after some hardship replaced with a stronger set. And I could buy that from Zyu footage to Dai footage.

In the same container as the ToQger trains is this very beat up second hand Astro Megazord. Very pre-chewed for my convenience. Still a cool-looking ship mode.

LFG! ToQger probably isn't the best Sentai toyline but it's the one that makes me happiest, and there are some real surprising gems in there.

Honestly I love this photo. You don't *have* to have perfectly lit glass-fronted cases with figures standing shoulder to shoulder like soldiers on parade. You can just have the things you love in pleasant stacks in whatever space you have and it's wonderful :)

Blillillilli-blilillilli-bluuuuuuum

Few things are funnier to me than the way Vision walks in CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AVENGERS.

If I, someone masquerading as a grown adult, buys a Rescue Bots toy I would at least expect it to have a nice smooth transformation that soothes the hands and mind. But no, this thing is kind of clicky and gross

Happy I Thought It Was Friday Thursday!!!

I'm sure I've ranted about this before but this is Shu Takumi, fresh off of making the first three Phoenix Wright games, taking everything he learned on those games about characterization, plotting, pacing and comedy, and spinning it into his magnum opus.

*summoning the spinning black and white hypnotism circle* you WILL get the “please go into this unspoiled” Rube Goldberg machine puzzle game if you can afford it and you haven’t already tried it

Due to Circumstances I own three of Cybertron Excellion, and while he's one of the weaker Cybertron molds he's still fantastic.

Convincing conspiracy theorists that “to 86” means to kill off the original toy line characters in an animated movie to make room for the new toy characters.

Memories of an older relative playing the Spectrum are load-bearing parts of my psyche, so yeah, this thing is calling to me.

Blaster has never looked better than this.

God help me I saw a trailer for the Backrooms movie and it looks like my kind of trash.

I love Nemesis Primes (Nemeses Prime) but this little stinker is a real delight

Let's start with the Dekaranger's robo, which is called Dekaranger Robo. Pat Gyro is pretty cool and has a pop out hook but otherwise this is a group of pretty unexciting police vehicles.

Okay I sincerely don't recognize this, I might be having a senior moment here

What's in the box?
