A screenshot from Turn A Gundam. The city of Nocis lies in ruin, smoke spewing from multiple areas. Yelling from in the distance, the subtitled dialogue of Corin Nander simply reads "GUNDAM!"

afaik it was only one of each exclusive, and you could only buy two exclusives total (couldn't buy two G-Selfs, but you could buy a G-Self and a Jegan, for example).

to be fair, they did a similar thing at NYCC 2024 - the extended clip they showed was a large part of the S3 premiere cold open

stephen colbert as the academy's announcement computer voice is certainly a move, but otherwise, this looks fun! Looks much more like a TV show than an excuse to put star trek character names on background objects this time

truly a stark contrast to compare this as our first extended look at S4, next to our first extended look at S3 a few years ago being "whuh-oh, genetically-prescribed racism is actually really funny!!!" as a taster for what is now one of the worst episodes of Star Trek ever made

Daredevil and X97 aside, it would be nice at the very least to have a contemporary MCU thing that doesn't just elicit a "ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's another one of those" reaction again

there is no one I trust less to critique the state of superhero media in 2025 - 2026, I guess - than Marvel Studios, but this has the potential to either be very good or a complete disaster

And that's not all 👀👀👀
A screenshot of a paragraph in the linked article that reads as follows: "And if you prefer your Tron figures to sit alongside your Star Wars Black Series or Marvel Legends collections, well, there’s good news there too: although nothing was shown today, Hasbro also confirmed to io9 that it is developing 6″ figures based on Tron: Legacy. We’re already requesting the Daft Punk two-pack."

We've got your first close up look at the new TRON Haslab Hasbro announced at NYCC 2025: Risky price ($260!), but an interesting endeavor—this is the official launch of Hasbro375, a new 1:18 scale line from the company that will start with Tron and could expand to other franchises

I'd say "Ramza Bay-wholve" but at this point he's ninjaing around dual-stabbing people with swords so my obsession with grinding speaks for itself
