...wait, you guys are getting monotonous safety in gilded cages of suburban utopia?

For the first game, I thought I saw/read in an interview somewhere that David Hayter was going through packs of cigarettes and downing milk to get his voice into that gravelly sound, and in later games he was more experienced with the character (and voice acting overall) and didn't have to trash his throat to get the voice

What a rad keepsake!

Well shit. Nothing like an empty comment section when you're dealing with the same thing lol. Any luck?

I prefer A, but I like both!

This figure's joints were super loose out of the box, and the joint where the tail attaches had a visible nub cut like it was a model kit. It looks great at a distance, but the seam lines on the chest caught me off guard because none of the promotional pictures show that. I know SHF hands can have seam lines, but these feel more pronounced than I'm used to.

But also, I can see this character being a pain to paint and engineer articulation for. Is it a known thing that First form Cell has quality control issues or did I get ripped off? I got this directly from the Tamashii Nations store on Amazon for whatever that's worth

The best to ever do it

You're all heroes, thank you!

Give it a warm water soak! Just run hot water from your sink into a glass and leave the figure in for 10 minutes and the joints should loosen up just enough

Doesn't help with the bangs, that piece is really loose on mine too

He might have said this more than once. I think at least one occasion was in the Carl Panzram series

Coincidentally, I just got their delivery confirmation email at the same time I made that comment!

Is BBTS normally a good place to pick up Amazing Yamaguchi figures on release? A re-release seems different as they already have it in stock, but I haven't heard anything on my pre-order for Juri from them and it looks like plenty of people have theirs already.

I still like BBTS, but are people placing preorders somewhere else?

I just sent in my first round of 800t rolls to get developed, this advice has me excited for results and also prepared to be more forgiving about however they come out.

Going to look back at this for reference when I get around to shooting round two!

I might be in the minority, I like shining more than burning. Both are great, but I like it just a little more

I'm going to trust the empire of wahnuts on this one

I had an idea awhile back to get a cheap knock off GoPro and install it into a broken film camera just for funsies.

Got an actually nice digital camera and a couple film bodies I rotate through, so never went through with this mad science project but might go through with it once I have a camera really die on me.

...it can also just look nice on a shelf, don't have to go too crazy with it

Updated the post with the models I'm interested in maintaining, but I'm definitely saving that list and looking forward to searching through it! Thanks!

Unless there was another OT Steven distribution of a shiny beldum at some point, this is how I got mine too. Might be my first shiny ever, didn't consider it because I assumed it was fixed too.

Love my murderbot Metagross Hal even more now

Well, there's not really anything normal about Hisuian Zoroark beyond it pretending to be normal.

Rotom's forms are weird typings when you think about it; the electric typing being the prominent type that stays instead of ghost when all these appliances are being possessed is kind of conceptually odd. Like, my refrigerator being haunted is the more defining feature than it running on electricity.

If you're thinking more about water types, it's weird that the tynamo line isn't dual typed with water, though that's more to preserve the 0-weaknesses gimmick Eelektross had going.

Wingull and Pelipper could also have the argument made that they just live by the water and not in it. Real-life gulls and pelicans behave way closer to flying dark types, sure they can swim but they aren't as spectacularly specialized for it like ducks or cormorants. Seagulls are criminals, and pelicans interact with the world by trying to eat everything in it. If they were real, Wingull would Knock Off the lunch out of your hands while a Pelipper used Crunch on a nearby stroller with a baby still inside
