I enjoyed it (and loved that Oppenheimer got to voice Skeletor and He-Man), but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd watched it before I found out about Mulaney's full milkshake duck turn. ---Dave

Crikey. ---Dave

Pike's hair got a bit out of control this week. ---Dave

And the final "regular" issue is oversized $6, too. As for jarring, 90% of that is Blades, whose robot mode last issue was drawn based on a Universe toy and colored based on Rescue Bots Blades, and whose vehicle mode is an Earth mode seen on the Universe toy but colored in a way that the robot...

And now Ruck, the heavy weapons specialist. His boots are insanely dented up, I decided to not paint those details. ---Dave

Well, an actual camera, rather than a phone camera, then? With a telephoto lens attachment, perhaps? ---Dave

Pike's way out is Talos. ---Dave

Okay, clearly this is going to be a Thing for me. (Could a mod please splice the other threads into this one?) Leader of Alpha Team, Master Sergeant Steadfast is a cyborg and a chef. So in addition to repainting the figure, I built him a tray of cookies. Comparison shots: Some WIP bits...

Even watching on D+ you have to play the twitch game of getting the credits back as soon as they get minimized for Watch Next stuff. ---Dave

And to add to the cost issue, while overall inflation may not be enough to explain the Great Cheapening, a lot of what's kept inflation from being higher is that manufacturers have found ways to make things less expensively. They couldn't just reissue T30 Waspinator for Kingdom, for instance...

I used a $3 app called NightCap and a cheap Bell & Howell telescope attachment, plus steady(ish) hands and a lot of deleted bad pics. The telescope: ---Dave

Glued the swords into the sheaths and painted them. Had to shorten and narrow the peg, since getting the stock swords in requires a fair amount of scraping and forcing. ---Dave

Hazing newbies to the Enterprise is kinda pointless...the missions will do a much more thorough job of it than any crewmember can. ---Dave

All of the XL ships have flight base sockets, none come with flight bases. Maybe they were planned but cut at some point for cost reasons. ---Dave

Slight physical modding (made her face more angular, bent her hair back a bit), otherwise just paint and noticing molded details that were concealed by the factory paint job. ---Dave

http://www.thefifth.world/2022/05/what-and-when-exactly-was-world-war-iii.html - Essay explaining how the timeline of the "final wars" still works without needing to contradict prior statements (much). ---Dave

The Zyklops drop pods are a little disappointing, in that only one of them actually opens automatically and neither of them stands up well when closed. The cockpits of the ships don't always like to stay closed, so QC is a little dodgy compared to Action Fleet. ---Dave

I was kinda expecting General Order 1 to be handwaved off as "their culture was already contaminated," but I guess tying it to Burn Before Reading level classified Discovery stuff made sense too, and at least was a new way to get out of jail free for violating GO1. ---Dave

Just a quickie from a Kharn Drone and a lot of white paint. ---Dave

Alfred Hitch. ---Dave
