  1. And here I thought no one could phone-in a Star Trek license quite like Diamond Select, but Playmates appears to be giving it a shot!
  2. It's finally here and it's majestic! Packed really well (Haslab could take some notes). Quality is outstanding - hefty, rigid plastic that looks like it could stand up to some real play. I'm talking eighties-era heavy duty. It actually feels beefier than that Mobile Command Center behind it. I wouldn't drop test it though because it might crack a tile. Everything moves freely (Small word of warning, the extendable barrel in the nose cannon needs to be fully telescoped back into place or it will slide forward and block the hatch. It's no problem as you can reach it inside the jaw, but don't force the hatch if it isn't opening). Tracks roll, but they're pretty stiff. Seems like they slide on most surfaces even with the mass of the tank on them. That being said, I'm ok with it because I think it will help them not get as saggy over time. Be sure to "exercise" the tracks though to keep them from getting permanently deformed around the bogeys. Can't wait to finish building my display around it. I can finally let my Mattycollector Thundercats out of the bag (box)!
  3. Well - I'm always excited for a new ship. I wish DS hadn't dropped the ball dragging their feet for so long on the Enterprise C and Reliant.
  4. And what about those of us that ordered from Super7 direct? I've still never seen another email from them since the purchase confirmation.
  5. I thought it was a great show based on even better books. I'm sure the figures will probably all be 6" so I may or may not dive in, but certainly interested in seeing them.
  6. Why didn't they use their digital face printing tech on these things? The figures themselves are fine, but the faces really seem like a step backwards.
  7. It's right there at the link - 100 bucks - so on par or cheaper than most other helmets. Pre-order placed. This is the best-looking Cobra Commander mask I've seen. So many of them are way too rounded and out of proportion. I hope the quality matches the looks.
  8. Whoa this is crazy! And right before they released the Serenity! I sense a conspiracy. :D
  9. I noticed from the pics at Toy Fair this year that Diamond Select had the NX-01 on display with the Excelsior, yet I didn't read anything about it. I know it's been asked about for some time but they hadn't been able to redo the old Art Asylum version. I decided to ask and this was their response: "Yes we will..."! I've kicked myself a little for years now. I had multiple opportunities to buy the NX-01 at clearance prices but I was broke back then. Of course now, the Ebay prices are ridiculous, so this is good news. They show may have been rough, but I've always loved that ship design.
  10. Woohoo! Time to hit up TRU if you want the non-NES version of Michael Keaton Batman! My closest store got one case and there were ten bundles. There's a sticker on the package clearly stating you can only buy the figure with the Blu-ray, though their computer rings up the figure but not the Blu-ray so I expect some locals won't realize it. It's 25 for the set. He looks good. He's a bit more rubbery compared to previous NECA figures I've bought like Robocop, Terminator and Predator figures. -WARNING- the first one I bought and opened had his leg snap off at the knee because the joint was stuck. I exchanged him and the second one was better though all the joints are still very stiff.
  11. Thanks to the Five Below store I snagged a five-dollar Jinx and figured the obvious repaint was the way to go. I don't have an airbrush to match the original's blend, but I wanted to do something a little more interesting than the Club's choice of a straight-up repaint.
  12. Bought the Phantom at my local TRU - left the Inquisitor Tie for later since I suspect it will be the warmer of the case. Didn't see the AT-DP though which is what I REALLY want.
