i think time constraints. Takara around the same time period demanded an MP Megatron in 2 weeks

Whoa there buddy, you’re making more sense than the people who decided to throw $200M at this thing.

It’s like the uncanny Mr. incredible memes but they don’t realize we’re laughing at them and not with them. i also always imagined Buzz as being bald because of how tight to his head the purple spacesuit was

What the hell, that was pretty much the only concrete piece of lore Toy Story established. and what, hugging space wasn’t enough? Now we need that nonsense thrown in?

From what we know, it was probably a rush job to downsize it, combined with CAD software being not as advanced back then complicating matters. Possibly at Voyager price point, some of the shitty joints were intended to be pinned hinges or ratchets and were budgeted out at deluxe

Got an ad for Lightyear on YT. Haven’t given thought about Pixar since Toy Story 3 so didn’t know anything about this new movie aside from that it existed. WTF is this Walmart Armageddon crap.

Even beyond the original design for the walking tank, there’s a lot of nonsense decisions going on with the thing, like the hook on his shoulder that is folded up and hidden in the main tank body even in the initial walking tank design, weirdass hands or painting his clear orange rolling wheels...

It's a decent design but the mold itself has glaring flaws on a structural level.

It’s like they used the paintdropper tool on a random patch of shading and ran with it.

Found a store that sells legitimate honey gouramis. Last ones I bought turned out to be thick lipped gouramis and they ended up going Highlander on each other and the remaining one jumped out of the aquarium last week. Real honeys are a lot more timid and less territorial so we'll see how that goes.

It’s actually closer to blue than purple, similar to the specialist sets but bare plastic vs the specialisat's complete paint coverage. It's a really pretty shade that I’d like be the basis for an MP Galvy, but you know Takara’s gonna make him hugging lavender again. Damn, those specialist sets...

Not gonna lie, Angela Anaconda’s parody was somehow less annoying than the actual dub. I remember our school library once showed the first few episodes off a VHS tape and everyone there was like WTF is this jive. For context, we had the Japanese-made English language version as our reference...

It's a competently animated, wholesome 90-00's anime with well-written protagonists, decent action and that doesn't have an out of control episode count. That's pretty much a unicorn. And ignore 02, the sequel and Tri. And of course, not watch the dub.

It's morbin' time.

Huh, there’s a new card game. The one i was familiar with was busted, basically boiling down to vaccine/data/virus matchups.

It was huge in Japan but that was when it was basically tamagotchi but with battling, around simultaneous with the first Pokemon releases. When Pokemon boomed, it had some of that residual clout but Pokemon definitely knocked a lot of the wind out of their sails . The Adventure anime helped...

The animes are a bizarre no man's land between children's and older audience anime in terms of plot, themes and character design. Makes it hard to market, particularly to international audiences. A not-so-popular card game and occasional video games aren't enough to create a megafranchise.

Between the various TV shows that only have tenuous links to each other, it’s easy to forget that there’s some stupidly complex Digimon lore that is apparently told through trading card advertising material or something. I have Cyber sleuth downloded but never got around to it. Maybe i should.

While we're playing that game, the observation his mouth is a shallow chamber without a passage to digestive organs suggests that he sucks at actually eating things, and his lack of a skeleton or musculature would mean he lacks the strength to pursue or overpower prey. Given these parameters, he...

Eh, Digimon’s lost its luster since everything eventually turns into Agumon or waifus. Might give it a shot but not at launch
