david hayter comes to mind.

not to mention this pose which looks oddly formiliar!

i really don't know about the release date, but i have a feeling that checking the figma calendar is hopeless as i really think this figure will just pop up unexpectedly for preorders when max factory is ready. as i remember last year when seeing the advertising for this figures' preorder and release, the figma calendar at goodsmile still showed nothing.

yes, i know. normally i just dream about a 20"inch long advent ship which only has 2 removable panels, one compartment showing the flight command room with nav spheres and the other, guyver unit room, all highly detailed with the inside of the sliced panels showing the organic layers of the outer shell. can only dream!

i'd trade 3 exceeds' for a shin and give my left nut for a 50"inch long ark playset (dreamt about one last night, had little removalable sections to expose inside compartments and decks. one being the room where the 3 zoacrystals were stored. pictured 3 small crystal replica's in a clear solid silicon solution, housed between two consoles from floor to ceiling, which gave the impression of how they were in the manga). then i woke up and went to work

agreed vguyver, many zoanoids and hypers do differ in size due to the different forms, but on average i've just assumed that the average zoanoid would be perhaps 3&ahalf times bigger in mass than a human. so 1 million zoanoids would perhaps be around the same mass as 10&ahalf million humans? or,well, there abouts? as the characters were talking in the manga, i interpreted their conversation was about their transformed selves and not their human form. and as salkafar pointed out that the ark could comfortably hold much more than 1million humans, was how i came to that reasoning. weight would play a huge factor in the ships carrying capacity aswell, wouldn't it? maybe while not in space, but surely within a planets atmosphere if the circumstances ever arised?

ok, slept on it. now, considering that aptom is actually just wrapped around sho, the only way i can think of aptom being able to use G1s' energy is if sho is able to channel it to aptom from the boost dimension through using the gravity orb on his waist. hang on, let me try and make it clearer. sho is able to draw on energy from the boost dimension using the gravity orb on his waist. the energy is accumulated externally(around the orb), whereby aptom is able to absorb it(energy) and convert it into the type of energy needed to expand and increase the intensity of his biofreeze blast. now, remembering that the biofreeze blasters on aptoms chest is his own as he has used it before when in his original new form, not wrapped around sho.

i need to use g1's energy! this is HHHHHOOOOORRRRSSSSEEEEEEE SSSSHHHHIIIITTTTT!!!! , i'm going to need to sleep for acouple days straight to wrap my head around this.

great stuff salkafar, it is huge, with many decks, but when you start dividing those decks for use, ie; observation deck, mess hall, storage rooms, recreation, war games, supplies, general quarters, sleeping cabins, etc. for 1million+, it starts to get smaller. being a zoanoid ship aswell, their'd be labs and acouple decks may just be full of optimization tanks to replenesh the ranks along the way. stand in the middle of a 7mx5m room and then put a kichen table with 6chairs in it, you start to wonder where all that space went! you need room to move around, you can't stand shoulder to shoulder with others for long before you feel like elbowing someone in the face! how large was that chamber where they were only storing three zoacrystals! don't forget showers and toilets! hate to see the line up if there was only 1 toilet.

i often wondered about this myself, what if it's not takaya who's holding back, but the publisher?

when sitting in the cinema, just try and not think of him as master of coin, and you should be 'right, hahaha. and jupiter, ssshhhhh, don't say things like that out loud, we don't want to jinx the franchise now that its coming back from X3.......i think there was a X3...........i don't really want to think about it. oh, please please bryan singer, continue what you're doing

i'm so twiching like a spastic to see nimron in this. no mention of it yet though.

in one of the later volumes, where it was showing the evolution of humans and zoanoids and the reason for the advents departure from earth. it was told how as an experiment, the advents decided to equip a human with their 'standard' armour, which was a unit G. so basically, if you're going to refer to something as standard or basic, then there's going to be an option for premium or higher grade of sorts? just my thoughts about it, anyway.

apollon's suit could very well be advent advanced battle armour which murakami found in the temple. as it has been mentioned in the manga that the guyver unit is only the advents basic armour! this could be the reason why apollon is able to mimic his opponents abilities. its just part of the armours characturistics, adding to murakami/miribili's other zoalord abilities.

episode 8, the lost unit. sorry for the late reply cannibal

nice, yep, he's probably slightly bigger/bulkier than enzyme2. you know, you just can't keep on posting that you've bought this, won that, without putting up pics of your growing collection.

they seem to be holding back the release for some reason, wish i knew what? afterall, it has been about 4 years since their last release. it is frustrating, but then again, to be honest, its just another G1. if they were continueing the line from the last figure, then we should really be seeing alky. well, come to think of it, theres another 7 zoalords that have yet to be immortilised as figurines plus apollon now.( add one more for those who want ANOTHEER gigantic in red!)

that is a nice collection augmented i love those glass cabinets.

i vaguely remember barcas talking with another about when the ark is ready, would be able to carry an army of a million(maybe 2) of zoanoids. it'll take me forever to try and find the chapter where the conversation took place.

anyone into cycling for commuting, proffessional or recreation? i've just decided to get back into recreational cycling whenever i have any spare time on the weekends. and instead of dusting the 10+years of dust and cobwebs off my mountain bike, decided to put together a road bike since none of the bike stores had my size.(thats life having a short inside leg!) anyway, mounting the rear derailleur, campagnolo give a torque spec of 15nm,(this is for thier 2piece cast alloy,hollow spring loaded bolt found on 2011+ derailleur.) which i found almost near impossible and at the very limit of this bolt.(previous bolts were one piece made from titanium or steel) (by the way, i've been a qualified automotive technician for over 20years and am well verse in using hand tools!) so naturally, this bolt fails and breaks, checking online and i found this to be a common problem. my biggest problem was that the bolt is not available to the public for replacement and the part requires to be sent to a repair agent to be replaced(WWWWWHHHHHAAAATTTTT!!!!) me, being in the bottom of the world(australia), there's only two listed authorised repair agents, both interstate! one has gone out of business and the other only deals with bike stores and does not sell direct to public. the cost to have this repaired + return postage was almost the same as awhole new derailleur!(ofcourse the lbs and repair agent add their %) so, a little research and i found that the dimensions of the derailleur body which houses the bolt are the same through out the campy range. and that their record, super record and athena eps derailleurs use a one piece bolt, which is available to purchase seperately. parts requiered for the fix; rd-re001:- bolt 10rd-re015:- circlip(required to lock the new bolt in housing and acts as washer between hanger on frame) the broken bolt and the ring which we will reuse as its the same through the range. derailleur main body, the spring is reuseable. new parts, c clip and bolt, comes fitted with o rings visual check mount on frame by just a few threads to leave a gap tie strap the cage to give us more clearance for the next step. a flat blade screw driver can be used to push/rotate the ring around past the stop on the body. while holding the ring firmly in place with a screw driver(some force required as spring is preloaded now) thread in bolt until both stops on ring and body have made contact. still leaving enough gap, install c clip. (preloading the spring and inserting the c clip is obviously easier when mounted to frame) bolt and c clip installed, i like to use alittle thread locker(loctite blue for servicable items) keeps threads clean and sealed derailluer mounted using specified torque of 15nm, which a solid, thicker one piece bolt has no problems being torqued too, as bolt stretch would be minimal, so fatigue would be minimal and servicability of part is extended. so, if anyone comes into the same problem, here you go, a nice easy fix which may save you some dollars. or you're like me and don't have an available authourised repair agent around the corner and would have to pay two middle men a commission plus return postage to have an item fixed that has an inbuilt obselesence from factory. happy trails!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ZNaLQD60Y&feature=player_detailpage and hot off the press http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIASaUUwklk&feature=player_detailpage is it just me, or did anyone else get half a mongrel from the scene at 1.21?

i wouldn't think they'd leave a dead zoalords body out in the battle field. but zoalords may have some type of security measure(micro-virus/cell of sorts) which prohibits their duplication and/or assimilation, otherwise, i guess aptom would have some zoalord powers bynow.

the generals always get better care(and optimization) than the foot soldiers, so i'd say no, i don't think their bodys dissolve. remember, foot soldiers are expendable, generals are not. making a clone from murakamis' arm would be going the long way about it, since alky had his entire body at his feet in the last scenes at relics point if i remember correctly. i think everyones thoughts and discussion before of murakami's body being repaired and then memory wiped is spot on. plus, it'll be quicker to regenerate an arm and stick a new zoacrystal in his head while at the same time updating his form, that's forsure. by the way, thanks to everyone who got this out, was SUPERFAST. cheers.

the fountain starring hugh jackman. probably only one of only a few romance movies that i enjoyed and watched more than once. i would think it falls in the romance/scifi/mystery genre. has a bit of a twist at the end which would make the movie a great discussion. just be sure you have a few box's of cleenex laying around the place.
