i see. The only specifically Takara branded Thomas and friends stuff I see are either tiny diecast trains or working traintrack sets basically the kiddy version of the adult hobbyist train sets. The rest is basically regular Mattel stuff with a sticker somewhere on the box

IIRC Mattel doesn’t have an specific Japanese branch and has an Asia-Pacific branch instead that is a different company operating under their name like Bandai America or Hasbro Asia. Might also be they only own the Thomas rights in certain territories or for certain product categories

The double smokestacks really throw off the look more than I expected TBH

It's pretty much the only movie in recent times to have the aspect ratio like that. Let alone among capeshit

Can the forum software even do that? That said, still on my phone and posting links is enough of a hassle that I don't feel like it.

That's not unsettling. This is unsettling

These magnificent bastards.

It’s called Youtube. Without ad block at least Ah thought it was a cable thing.

Need to make it look like your subscription gets you more than it actually does.

New DBZ movie looks like a cutscene from Kakarot which isn't really my cup of tea after Broly's artstyle. Nice to see they remembered non-Goku non-Vegeta people exist. Red Ribbon Army makes me think that this is a ploy to bring back Cell

IIRC, Max Factory has had a couple instances of jumping the gun with prototypes that haven't been approved by the IP holders which is slightly better than being lost in the labyrinthine inner workings of Bandai.

I don’t recall but i did hear that the reshoot has some creepily lingering shark ass shots

It's like Justice League but with mechanical sharks instead of idiots on steroids and/or cocaine.

Fandom speculation is that it's a way to gauge interest and that makes sense for popular but niche dudes like say, the Ginyu Force, but not for secondary main protagonist status figures like Metalgarurumon. IIRC the Cure ones didn't perform to Bandai's expectations. I don't know what they were...

Look man, it’s all we got to work with. Japanese toy companies show prototypes that never go anywhere at trade shows all the time. I believe it took Bandai a decade to release some of the figuarts that they revealed at toy shows and those might actually be new molds of the same characters. IIRC...

DLC for Super Robot Wars was kinda disappointing. Shinkalion was kinda cool and Dancouga is always neat but Voltes V really should have been in the base game. Was hoping for some real heavy hitters in the lineup. Votoms and Sakura Wars are eh. They have robots sure but they're not really in line...

No, that just happened to be the most habitable location in Hollywood

IIRC it was in an awkward place between generations and MP in terms of price and design so got shelved until they can figure out what to do with it. maybe Haslab

Razorclaw in particular looks like something you aren't allowed to handcarry onto a plane
