I dabble in writing. I work with You Don’t Read Comics. I am also a loving single father of one chaotic young boy doing his best to get by. Him/he/his
The instructions page comes from the 1/100 G-Falcon and Double X combined kit (it’s a cool two-in-one bundle). The Airmaster Burst and Leopard Destroy are also in 1/100 form from back in the day and are totally compatible, which is great.
Might be hard to find these days though.

The fun thing is that the Gunpla were built that way too.

I mean, they keep dumping money in. It has to work eventually!

I think I’ve been infected, lol
That said, no regrets. It’s subtext that is already textual in a romantic sense, even if it’s not intended as sexual onscreen!

First we have books focusing on Voyager returning home (character work, but also stopping an apocalypse lol), then a few on the adventures of Captain Chakotay and his crew.
Then there’s a big ol’ Borg event or two with the TNG and DS9 books, and the status quo changes.

Never thought I’d live to see crabstick subs return, much less become a part of the actual official release.

That’s Roux Louca from Gundam ZZ, one of the several pilots of the Gundam Team. She’s a fashion icon and disaster of the 80s.

YES. It’s absurd and I love it.
And it’s funny how Barclay’s neurodivergence is… not being that evil.

I love that they gave Mirror Riker little beard braids. It’s so absurd.

I’ve bought pre-assembled Gunpla at cheap prices to fix them up. It’s not the same as building, but I still get the delightful kit at the end. Like this GP-01Fv, which came with all the parts and stickers unapplied.

It’s just like the original movie poster!

I believe it’s part 2, with part 1 introducing the concepts and characters to one another.
They’re both some of the best weird Star Trek crossovers, right alongside the Trek/X-Men one.

There’s a real balance to them that more recent reprints really lack.
I actually like using them for my other weird habit: coloring. When the paper’s right anyhow. It’s weird, but it’s nice to read them later on and know that I did that.

Thanks! I love the designs from 08th Team, so I’ve had a few that I’ve customized over the years.

The GM Sniper 1 being a solid color just turns me off, to be honest. I made a modified color scheme myself when I turned a Ground GM into one.

Uh, I don’t wanna be that guy, but The ‘Nam wasn’t GI Joe. This is issue 43’s cover (and would look amazing painted on a van), with that comic being an entirely different book called The ‘Nam. Hama did edit The ‘Nam, but he was not the writer.

Here’s the internal disc of #Tron. Rather than a rainbow mirror show like a #laserdisc, it’s a black vinyl disc that still has a rainbow effect in the right light.
I can see a bunch of scratches in the disc, so it’s never gonna plan even if I did have a player for it. Shame!
And, uh, that’s it!

Each disc genuinely held an hour per side, so longer movies were two of these stupid things or were edited. Most players made you get up in the middle of the movie, pull out the cartridge, and then shove it back in flipped upside down.
Also, when was #Tron red.

The other weird disc based media I have is #Tron! On RCA’s selectavison! It used actual vinyl records to transmit video through a similar setup to a record player, but was incredibly fiddly and required no man ever touch the disc or it be fucked up forever. So it gets held in a cartridge.

The back shows that it’s 60 minutes long (double the previous two SG #Gundam lengths), but the front advertises *just* SD Gundam Mk.1. This makes me think they slapped the covers on the sleeve where they could and it’s just a foreign release of SD Gundam Mk.I. Still interesting though!
