basing my inconsistent list on how memorable the experience was for me. I'm sure I'm missing something but this is already pretty long.
*(sees post that started all this)* wait...top 5? eh. I've already written it out and would like to keep the whole list)
Zelda (1.Majora's Mask 2. Ocarina of Time 3. Wind Waker 4.Twilight Princess)
Fallout 3 & New Vegas (bit of bias towards NV)
KOTOR 1 & 2
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Earthbound
Super Mario Galaxy (also really liked Sunshine even though a lot of people seemed to hate that one. also liked 64)
Super Mario RPG
DKC 1-3
Really a big fan of the lore behind the Soulcalibur, Resident Evil, and Mortal Kombat games but I'm not obsessed with any of the actual games. I'm absolutely nuts about the Smash Bros series but wouldn't say any of the games are worthy of my top list (Brawl comes close though since it has an attempt at a story). same goes for nearly all Megaman games. I love them but can't list them. I really liked the Legends series though.
(augh...I know I'm missing something important...)

Modifying the pegs would be incredibly risky. I think it may be possible to heat up the toe hinges on both the Vegeta and Vegetto boots and swap them around. The pegs that hold the hinges may be different sizes but that would be the safest method since replacing the ankle pegs would be nearly impossible in the event of an error.

I think this will be the SDCC Exclusive. However, the figure will have a unique and specialized BOX just for the Mexico event (Maybe with the Mexico event convention logo or something else). And there will be a separate SDCC packaging for the Comic-Con version release. same here. I don't see the point in raging UNTIL everyone is absolutely certain this isn't also the SDCC exclusive (even then there's little point in raging). It doesn't seem ridiculous to think the SDCC is just being added to another region which would be a good thing. |

Yeah, this belt is completely different form any other belt we've seen. It's not Krillin or SSGSS Goku's. It's a brand new piece entirely. Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is the problem with this belt? A few people have been complaining about the belt but I don't see anything wrong with it. Is it that it's too thin? Too short? It has to do with the ball and socket system hidden by the obi on every other Goku figure. There's a gap between the torso and waist that gives room for the torso movement. Normally it isn't a problem as they made his obi rather large to hide the gap...without the obi the gap is visible from almost all angles.  Most people put on a Krillin belt and stuck the torso all the way down and left it at that but anytime the torso is moved the belt slips out of place and the ball/socket is exposed. The new belt they made is a bit big (also inaccurate) but it certainly won't be able to hide the gap when the torso is moved (actually the very bottom of the torso can seen in the first promo pic). Back when Krillin was released I made this image showing a potential solution to the belt problem that would require a new torso mold but might severely limit the torso articulation.  It's a shame but until they figure something out (IF they figure something out AND release it) then slapping a belt on to the old Goku mold is the best option for his Saiyan/Namek saga outfit. |

I don't see why some people think the belts are similar. The belt on SSGodSS Goku and the bottom half of the gi are all one piece, whereas the Namek Goku belt is a brand new part.   |

I certainly don't see any point in paying more than it would cost to just make one yourself. All-in-all, it's a fairly simple modification of the original Son Goku release. most will view these are simple (or foolish) justifications but I'll list my reasons for wanting it. The darker gi...the one new face (it's that important to me)...the new belt mold (hardly a plus since it won't hide the torso/waist gap but being the OCD completist I am I'd hate to miss out on such a minor part)...and the paint additions (Bran's kanji stickers are great but I'd like to have consistency with the Figuarts Krillin which requires a factory painted Kanji). plus the box will probably look nice. ...I need a new (less expensive) hobby. |

Completely absurd (I mean that in a good way)...a collection full of repainted gashapons.

pretty sure this was never posted...Apink Sant finished his Cell Saga Trunks and it's incredible.  |

just couldn't find any humor in the scenario or what was said, that's all.

must respond as these thoughts consume me on a daily basis and I never get a chance to express them (I tend to obsess over them which leads to much distress and something tells me very few want to share in the experience my thoughts can provide).
I don't know what makes people (including myself) so conceited and delusional that we manage to convince ourselves there needs to be some greater purpose or meaning to justify existence. We're here. We're alive. Why? Who knows. Maybe there is no explanation. Why not find a way to enjoy it while we can. It's taken much consideration but I choose to believe life is indeed a gift. What's the alternative to life? Death. Need the meaning of life? Live. It sounds so naive and simplistic but thinking this gives me some measure of peace.

I'm at a point where I'm hoping to see Figuarts versions of Nintendo characters (including Link). I had hoped Figma would continue with Nintendo releases but they unfortunately haven't. Regardless of who makes it I definitely hope some sort of Captain Falcon sees a release. swerving away from Nintendo...now THIS is what I've been waiting for...  blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51947320.html  |
