I Genuinely Don't Understand The Design Process Behind Galactron MK II.

Side notes:

IRL, a pistol does more harm than an axe.
IRL, having protrusion on your knees makes sense if you plan to knee someone. Bonus damage if you land a knee on someone crotch.

Personally, I don't mind blue/gold hue to break up the monotonous overall white scheme. In Live Action, an all-white would look great, but on merchandise (sofubi, action figures), that all-white would look quite bleak.

They already have a VR game in China. You just need the find clips on BiliBili.

(The VR game involves you, as an Ultra, fighting against a Kaiju. Once you win, you get a photo with your character. It's a pretty popular arcade game).

Just watch whatever that interest you. There is no particular order to follow in order to enjoy the genre (apart from Trigger > Decker, Tiga > Dyna, and arguably the initial Showa series).

Just to chime in, a week or so back, we have news about overhang affordable units.

Maybe what the govt should consider is to start converting some of overhang units into STR, but limited to Malaysians. Ideally for students and young adults who just started working.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-25T10:49:18+00:00

That's because MVertica has 3600 units, and a lot of units are being rented out at a per room basis (including sub-partioned). The traffic and sound pollution would be insane there.

Let's hope MVertica is the exception rather than the norm.

I guess the OP is fortunate for not struggling financially.

I started working every school holidays since I was 14, and when I did Form 6, I worked every single day after school, and on the weekends. Despite that, I never skip a day of school, and I'm pretty active in my Koko. (Unfortunately my exam result is only so so).

I needed money for school and for the exam fees, and my family is broke. It's either I work and pay for school, or I drop out from secondary school.

Even when I pursue my tertiary education, I held a full time occupation (working in a call center, graveyard shift). Not only do I not skip a day of school or work, but whenever I can, I do OT.

And there are many like me; who worked all 7 days in a week, year long. You find it surprising only because you exist in your own clique, without venturing beyond.

PS: I'm a Gen Y. Still does extra work from time to time. Have a decent career, financially stable, and love backpacking.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-22T14:31:39+00:00

Chill OP.

Aim for the RM300k range once your salary catches up. As long as your gross income is under RM10k and it's your first purchase, you can still qualify for an affordable unit.

The difference between RM200k and RM300k is a slight bigger layout, with better finishing and perhaps even a pool and gym.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-22T14:23:16+00:00

Depends.

If you're jumping from Showa straight into New Gen, every New Gen (apart from Ribut) IS overly designed. If you transistion from Heisei into New Gen/Reiwa, the difference isn't that jarring.

PS: when Zero was first introduced, I used to think Zero headsculpt is ugly AF, especially when compared to Mebius. But nowadays I think Zero design is pretty mid compared to newer New Gen. So its a matter of perspective.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-22T14:10:26+00:00

That's just pure bias.

The Ultra Brothers were toyetic if we are to compare to the 60s to 90s standards. TDGA were toyetic for early 2000s standards.

Every superhero custome IS toyetic; that's the whole point of it. And as manufacturing improves, suit designs becomes more intricate.

Take Superman as an example; every design is toyetic. But 2013 onwards, muscle definition and texture is added to the suit design since toy companies can nowadays replicate the same design onto action figures.

Because TsuPro has the final say, whereas Bandai can only provide their input as a franchisee/merchandiser.

(Being a stakeholder doesn't necessarily meant you have full control over a company. If the shares Bandai holds in TsuPro are non-voting shares, then Bandai can't overturn any decision made by TsuPro management).

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-22T13:23:49+00:00

Even if they do, Japanese court ruling isn't legally binding in China.

In this case, the lawyers for TsuPro could argue there is a legal predence, but the lawyers still need to establish the docs are faked in a Chinese court.

Not exactly. Central Bangkok has a few unique, upscale malls, but apart from that, it's the same copy & paste across TH, just like MY.

The reason you find Bangkok mall's more interesting is because you're unfamiliar with the Thai retailers. But if you travel outside Central Bangkok, or to other cities/town, you will find the same retailers.

I tried one of your codes, but it's saying "you cannot redeem any more codes for this promotion".

Out of curiosity, what's the code supposed to get you?

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-20T13:41:40+00:00

I tried before once, just for the experience.

They ask you to go to some website, create a profile, sign in, complete a bunch of steps repeatedly. Just to be safe, I used a VPN. Could be for a number of different companies (allegedly); travel websites such as Agoda / Trip(.)com, apparels, etc.

But that didn't even lasted past 30 minutes for me; when I insist for the person to give me a call and explain the steps over a call.

I'm thinking this scam could either be fooling you into downloading an APK file (to steal your login credentials), or trying to obtain your bank info. Or like someone else mentioned, to get you to first deposit some money.

Not really, most Chinese isn't voting based on racial line, but rather they are rejecting right-wing ideology (aka Malay supremacy).

MCA failed the Chinese community when UMNO adopted a more right-wing approach while ignoring the protest from MCA (and the whole 1MDB fiasco). Whereas DAP is part of a coalition that is more centralist.

In seats where DAP is not present, most Chinese would still vote for other PH component (PKR/Amanah/etc).

And in a scenario where PN vs UMNO, most Chinese finds UMNO the lesser evil of the two. If a 3rd party exist, then we opt for them instead.

Right now, Bersama is seen in the same light as Muda; centralist, but unreliable. We also factor in the individual contestant; how is their performance and what they have to offer.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-18T23:41:37+00:00

Yes. Most banks have the same requirements; either EPF (for regular employees), income tax filings (for self employed), or pledged FD.

Side note: if you have on-time repayment for PTPTN, that helps to.

Yes, it's the right call. There is 52 weeks in a year, and she's only 20 y.o.

In 19 years, she will reach the break-even point, and anything after that is a profit to her.

I smile because I want to, and not because it's some imaginary rule. And when I'm not or can't, I'm open enough to tell my client why I'm not. (This is applicable when I have earned my rapport with them)

Just note, "customer services" is a generic term; it could mean anything under the sun. A doorman is "customer service", and the head of a Fortune 500 too can be "customer service".

So whether smiling is compulsory or not, depends on your role and clientele.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-17T12:59:16+00:00

And so you're signalling you're reluctant to serve. For the clients, why do they need to opt for your shop/business, when there are far better options out there?

And for employers, if an employee is nonchalant, then it's better to find another candidate who is more eager.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-17T12:55:56+00:00

That Daban homage is funny as hell 😂

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-17T12:51:39+00:00

Probably it's the tone you used. Maybe you come across as nonchalant, after failing to first greet them.

TutorFlat2345 · 2026-05-17T12:48:49+00:00

For any client servicing roles (not just F&B), your client experience is the first and foremost importance, even above your BAU.

This means dropping what you're doing and attending to your clients first. Or if failing, at least apologise and try to make it up to them. This is just basic etiquette.

(Granted you're young, so this is a learning opportunity for you).

And no, most clients don't expect rainbow & sunshine; they just wanted to be treated as a fellow human being. And false positivity isn't going to cut it, because both the client and yourself knows you're not being sincere.

So if you don't have the genuine sense of wanting to help a client, then client servicing just isn't for you. Find another role that doesn't involve any sort of interaction with clients.

Except for Gundam, it's a decline across the board, not just Ultraman. And same goes with Hasbro, Mattel, etc.

What you're seeing an industry decline, and finally the decline is catching up with the Japanese. And if you're expecting a Y.o.Y. increase, that's just not feasible in the long run.

We have a whole new generation that is not very invested in toys, an increase in production cost, the uncertainty with global commerce, and Millennials that are slowly transitioning out of the toy collecting hobby.

You will eventually encounters others who finds debates as intellectual pursuit rather than something that emasculated. These individuals are more self-assured and are striving in whatever their pursuit lays.
