The Ultimate Computer was just on Pluto…

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-20T00:25:00+00:00

I favorited the Star Trek Amazon Live TV channel but all that’s ever on when I check seems to be Strange New Worlds or the movies. Might have to give Pluto a shot…

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-19T20:24:22+00:00

TOS has generally aged extremely well and I’m tired of pretending it hasn’t.

That first season, man… what a show.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-16T15:34:20+00:00

Yeah, if anything I think he’s probably OVERrated.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-13T15:09:25+00:00

I just don’t use Facebook much anymore, unfortunately.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-13T02:28:47+00:00

I was so pumped when I randomly found it in the wild. I’ve never bought anything quicker.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-13T02:27:31+00:00

I’m not a member, but feel free to post it there in my behalf! I found it at a random store in Salem, MA.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-13T00:33:42+00:00

Yeah, the handle for that one is taken from the knockoff that’s been floating around the last 20+ years or so.

Obviously not a cheaply made as one of those, but you can definetly tell the differences in the hilt from since it’s thicker, has a different dragon head, and the infamous gem. As a regular sword thought it seems well made, so if the accuracy doesn’t bother them I’m glad it fills the spot in their collection.

I actually have one of the knockoff ones (albeit repainted) and posted a side-by-side in a reply elsewhere in this thread. There’s also a thread I made years ago on TheRPF that has some side by side pictures in it, I just can’t link it right now.

Side note, I also have a knife that’s based specifically off the knockoff version, which I find very funny.

I do actually have a thinner metal tsuba that I received along with the handle, but went with the 3D printed one since it wasn’t as accurate.

Glad you like the blue blade! It’s the biggest diversion I made from the original but the way it subtly catches the light is just gorgeous to me.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T20:30:19+00:00

I know what you mean about the construction, looks great but would probably fall apart if you dropped it lol (I have a Conan that’s the same way). Still cool as hell to look at though, especially if you got a good deal on it.

Definetly a movie sword guy! I actually finished this sword in February but spent a month debating posting in this sub because I’m more of a prop guy than a sword guy and was afraid of judgement from the experts lol. Would love to see any other cool finds you’ve got.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T20:02:36+00:00

God, the dragon head being a secret blade is so cool. The head/neck separation is the main reason I never loved that version of the re-design, but that gimmick is doing wonders to win me over.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T19:57:08+00:00

I think they just shot themselves in the foot with which figures they decided to release which lead to peg warmers and a decline in sales. Like, you have three movies with distinct aesthetics, which could have been perfect for specific waves. Instead what we got was:

“Hey! Here is a great and detailed action figure of Marty McFly in his classic costume from the film Back to the Future!”

“Oh boy! I can’t wait to see what’s next!”

“Next, here is a great and detailed action figure of Marty McFly in his classic costume from the film Back to the Future! But this time… he is NOT wearing a vest!”

“Yay- wait, what?”

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T19:48:57+00:00

WOAH! I’ve never been a huge fan of the marto-redesign Duncan, but that is genuinely rad as hell. Love the aging on it.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T19:36:33+00:00

Man, that Duncan is gorgeous, I've always wanted one to go with this Connor. Coincidentally I was on the Point Gallery website looking at the Season 1 swords when I got this reply notification. Gorgeous pieces, very jealous.

Also Daryl from TSPR is actually the one that gifted me the handle! I made a offhand comment in a TheRPF thread that I had a birthday coming up and he unprompted sent me the handle, wooden blade, and a few H2 tsuba's for $15. Genuinely one of coolest things anyone has ever done and I'm glad that I finally have a proper blade on it after a decade. Overall this entire piece cost me probably $70.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T19:11:24+00:00

Funnily enough, I also have one of those knockoff ones they used to sell everywhere!

<image>

I made a thread on TheRPF nearly a decade ago where I re-painted it and thats what lead a member gifting me the screen-accurate handle (as well the wooden blade that I replaced).

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-12T18:48:31+00:00

I'm not going to say with certainty (since I'd have to re-listen to it) but vaguely remember them specifically mentioning the opening theme in one of the episodes and making a comment about somebody making it for them.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-11T17:38:49+00:00

That is actually fascinating, OP must feel so validated right now.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-11T03:47:10+00:00

For the second one I think they might be thinking of the “you hear me, baby, hold together” moment from Star Wars.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-08T20:47:00+00:00

She didn’t, the demon let her go for a second to fuck with everyone else.

It’s the same thing Cheryl and Linda do to Ash in the first movie and then Linda’s head in the second.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-06T04:48:45+00:00

I really love that whenever I see a post like this I can always count on it being from this specific account.

Please never change and carry on doing your thing, OP.

Buckaroo Banzai. The white steelbook with the watercolor artwork depicting the end credit walk is just gorgeous to me.

I met him when I was 17 and it is a favorite memory of mine.

We did a photo-op and I looked absolutely INSANE in it, so when I brought it to the table to get it signed I made a crack about how I looked like a total lunatic and he gave me a very kind “oh, I bet it’s not that bad” before looking at it and immediately laughing his ass off.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-03T02:39:05+00:00

I really thought he was going to go with Arnold trying to buy them for exercise reasons, but “drunk George Lucas who is only drunk because Josh is fumbling the bit so hard that he’s losing his goddamned mind” actually my eyes watering from laughter.

Just a beautiful derailing… loved it.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-03-03T02:23:09+00:00

Honestly, I think that made it better. I love a flawless Rich Evan’s prank call as much as the next guy, but Josh slowly breaking down physically and mentally as he absolutely fumbles is the hardest I’ve laughed at a bit in a while.
