Some of those are hilariously good.

I won't lie, that unicorn mode is neat.
More Amalgamous than Amalgamous.
So the new batch of preorders are up at BBTS (and other places, I'm sure), for those interested: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Sear...Size=50&SortOrder=New&Brand=1971&Series=45659

As someone said over on Bluesky: the fact that there's also legitimate stock photos and non-AI renders really does scream 'boss told us 1/3rd of this has to be AI'
Checks out with what Cocks has said about AI.
Historians will be baffled by this craze.
I have a grad degree in history and teach it for a living and I'm baffled by it now.
As with many other baffling things, it's just $$$.
The rich are betting big on artificially sentient tulips and taking us all along for the ride (including by requiring this in every context they can cram it into) with the bag already stapled to our hands for when it inevitably goes belly up. Except things are already so dire that pronouncements of how bad it's going to be if and when it goes belly up kind of have us just saying "...so?"
Also a lot of us are idiots who now finally have a way to turn their talentless jokes into talentless content to share with like-minded idiots.

it's so hugging ridiculous too like pendejo you made the hugging toys, you're too lazy to take photos of them so you gotta waste tons of water generating AI images of them that are even hallucinating what the arm looks like
That's the weird thing. I totally get the fantasy of having a machine that just spits out discoveries and inventions without us having to do the work. But managers keep insisting that it be used for... whatever. Just use it because you have to use it because you just gotta. And so it ends up being used for things that serve no purpose whatsoever. You're gonna take pictures of toys and generate some nonsense? It's not even replacing a human at that point. It's purely extra.
That said, DNA has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I went ahead and ordered MW Starscream and Blue Onyx Prime... starting to question the latter though. I held off on the first one because, well, brown, and while the blue is much nicer it still looks a bit... flat? $60 just seems a lot to drop on a toy when you're not immediately thrilled to order it (like I am for Screamer). And I was a bit disappointed with the other Primes I got (Micronus, Amalgamous).
So someone tell me, is Onyx Prime a good mold, worth getting? Or is it flawed and busted?
