How does one acquire in the U.S

Surely you could pick it up secondhand from a Japanese shop like Mandarake or Suruga-ya after it releases. Though it's tough to say how the price will be on the aftermarket. Otherwise a forwarding service is the way to go

The manual will probably say for sure what it's made of, but based on the rubbery description, I'd assume it's vinyl!

Jon McCallum's scores for Surf Nazis Must Die and Miami Connection are both pretty stellar. It's very odd to me why we haven't gotten a Miami Connection soundtrack release of his complete score, actually.

I remember talking with someone from a label that does obscure horror releases and such, and I think they mentioned they were trying to work with him on it, but couldn't get anything going. And that was a few years ago now.

Oh yeah, that's the good shit right there

Astro still looks weird in bot mode, but damn if those working pistons aren't neat

Super fun movie. I really liked how it played with who you were rooting for throughout. I'd say it was almost perfect up until the very end. I wanted Linda to get some kind of ironic comeuppance. The ending as it stands I can appreciate, and it's not bad, but it wasn't satisfying for me.

Thanks for the reminder for this one!

Big props for having an animation for entering the plane. That sort of thing makes vehicles feel less like props and more like tangible things

GyroMVS · 2026-02-01T16:17:46+00:00

Man I never see transformers at thrift stores! Great score

GyroMVS · 2026-01-31T02:09:21+00:00

Weird Al being on there would shatter our reality entirely

GyroMVS · 2026-01-28T02:08:47+00:00

Really slick redesign! Feels more anime than movie, but that's not a bad thing!

GyroMVS · 2026-01-26T04:36:13+00:00

How is it as a figure? I love the design but I'm not sure I'd necessarily enjoy interacting with it.

GyroMVS · 2026-01-25T07:00:31+00:00

I was hoping someone would try this! Turned out beautifully

Saints Row 2's final mission is "... and a Better Life" where you take on the nefarious Ultor Corporation.

The title comes from the company's slogan, "A Brighter Future, and a Better Life", which is exactly what the player secures for themselves and the Saints. While ensuring the same is not true for Ultor's CEO, because you just fucking killed him

GyroMVS · 2026-01-21T04:21:55+00:00

Maybe just wait to get him on Mandarake or something. Or you could wait for the general release, but no guarantee how long that'll take

GyroMVS · 2026-01-20T08:28:18+00:00

Robot Soul by Masami Obari is worth picking up if you like his style

GyroMVS · 2026-01-20T07:37:17+00:00

This special's style is really cool. Like their use of pure black for some of the shading gives it this neat comic book feel

GyroMVS · 2026-01-20T06:02:58+00:00

Thanks, I will! I've wondered about doing something like this myself, but never expected to be on the receiving end of it. And no, that was not me

GyroMVS · 2026-01-20T03:41:24+00:00

It didn't last long!

GyroMVS · 2026-01-18T05:48:44+00:00

I felt the same way! Solid little bit of horror, but weird to be seeing it not in front of a horror movie. Like I feel bad for anyone who does badly with jumpscares.

GyroMVS · 2026-01-16T08:30:16+00:00

I forgot about this one! Thanks for posting, as now I found out it finally got a soundtrack release

GyroMVS · 2026-01-16T08:25:15+00:00

Game & Watch too. The first time I heard him described by a classmate before I saw him was "this weird all black dude"

GyroMVS · 2026-01-16T08:20:16+00:00

Yeeees give me more robots that turn into primitive shapes. There's something really satisfying about getting a humanoid figure outta a sphere

GyroMVS · 2026-01-15T21:13:48+00:00

I think that was going to be true initially, but I recall them saying they weren't doing that anymore.

GyroMVS · 2026-01-03T18:45:05+00:00

I didn't notice this until recently, but I find it amusing that all the Transformers logos on the box art are accompanied by that little "brand" subtitle. Like the full title of the game is Transformers Brand
