Good evening I am thinking about repaints we haven't got. Sunstorm is the biggie, at least the guys at NYCC have said "we're on it boss" but I still want Loudpedal and Dark Nitro Convoy and yeah I guess we're due a new Stepper

Makuta may be a villain of the chronicles, but there are also beings that can do more than meets the eye.

Nope. I came home from school the day they put the video on and my mum said "so they showed you how babies are made today then"

did anyones parents *actually* talk to them about sex?

its been a plot point in like every TV show and movie about raising kids for like centuries at this point but does it actually happen?

i think "the birds and the bees" speech is entirely a ficticious construct

Ben Watson @waspshot23.bsky.social · 11h

Even worse

It's literally just called Star Wars The Original Trilogy A Graphic Novel

Dear oh dear the studio series box backs continue to be zero effort don't they. That's Skywarp sat there! Come on lmao

Back of Transformers Studio Series 86 Thundercracker showing a shot from the film that he isn't in

Windcharger meanwhile doesn't pretend he was there and just uses the poster art and tells you he uses his magnets to fight which he certainly didn't do in the film

Feeling very big and proud and happy to see an old friend's incredibly cinematic Kyoto hotel wedding video but also feeling very small and ashamed and sad as I do so sat staring at my phone in my ratty little shop alone

Just had a new Star Wars graphic novel adaptation in and it looks crap. The artist isn't credited and turns out to be several people listed as doing each bit like backgrounds or "character studies" so no one person is listed as responsible

Getting harder and harder to see a cat post and not then mutter aloud "catito" over here

This is the quickest a comic reference has ever been made physical. Lead times are a year!

I've seen a pic from my local cinema's screening of Tron Ares tonight and there were 2 people in there

Yeah he's alive #Trigun

A selfie of me sipping from my Official Trigun Stampede metal cup with Vash's old Wanted poster on it where it only asks for him Alive and offers only a paltry 6 million double dollars. My hair is doing a thing that might be called a humanoid typhoon. I'm wearing my red hoodie. I'm a blond boy with glasses by the way.

mfw they put your series down like old yeller

There she is!!!!! #TrigunStargaze
(not great how they're billing this as "The Final Chapter" like bro this is only the second series and you're wrapping it up? Not going for a trilogy?)

So we're meant to believe the trailer only made up a tenner of the cost of the first version??

So who can say what Samurai no Jidai Megatron and Bee will be like, literally could be anything except I fully expect Megatron to have oni theming and Bee to be like the squire equivalent

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Ox cart Optimus vs Bird Starscream is making me think there's a prominent piece of Asian folklore I am not privy to.

Ben Watson @waspshot23.bsky.social · 1d

Hilarious that they have specifically matched it to SS86 Megatron but also not exactly

Ben Watson @waspshot23.bsky.social · 1d

Good for you. I have no attachment to it whatsoever and probably would fail to identify it correctly
