Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary screening 4/28/23

40 years already?!? I still remember watching this for the first time back in 1997, the special editions. I fell in love with them though they weren't the original non-altered ones some fans preferred over everything that came out after their respective release years.  As for this version that just got re-released, how did it fare? + This is still the definitive version of how the Star Wars saga ended.  + It's back on the big screen and the video quality was one of the best re-releases I've seen in years. + It still has the same fun and charm as it did back in those days (for me, it was 97).  + Seeing this again made me appreciate the hero Luke was. He was selfless, defended his friends and saved his father when nobody else wanted to. What Disney did to him in the sequels was a travesty.  - If you ain't a fan of the re-releases after the 83 version, you ain't gonna like these versions (i.e. a beak added to the Sarlacc pitt, Hayden Christensen's force ghost, and ...

Transformers Toys Legacy Evolution Deluxe Shrapnel Review

  Aloha, I am back with another TF review. And this time it is with Legacy Insecticon Shrapnel! How does he fare, lets get started! Boxing Like Scraphook, Shrapnel is of the evofusion gimmick but mainly through his weapons rather than limbs. Standing tall Visually, I was a little put off on how he looked initially. I didn't like how the pincers were of a dull grey paint. His chest cavity doesn't open like Kickback from the original Legacy line. No biggie on that. Either wise, he is painted nicely. As a matter of fact, I found Shrapnel to be delightful upon fidgeting with him.  He comes with dual blasters and a silver gun which allow you to attach the dual blasters for the fusion gimmick. Or you can simply his weapons on any 5mm peg you find.  Overall, it would had been nice to paint his pincers the same to compliment his gun.  W/Kickback Both figures are light. It's great to finally pair KB with another member of the Insecticons. Took Hastak long enough. Robot mode, ...

Transformers Toys Legacy Evolution Deluxe Scraphook Toy Review

  Hello and welcome folks. I finally got another TF review up and running after my trip to the mainland. Today, we look at a newly created Junkion for the Legacy and G1 continuity line. Let's just get started! At this point, we are probably used to the plastic-less boxes. I kinda miss it actually. The boxes do feel much lighter without it. That's just how I feel. The digital profile is now on the top of the box. For those who are interested, here is the link: Scraphook bio card . Standing tall SH in the flesh. I think he looks great. He is painted in colors that do resemble a Junkion. I thought this was a cool feature, but he only has one painted eye. Most likely lost an eye during his skirmishes with the enemy. Aren't they Junkions though? Couldn't they just replace it? To be continued I guess. He is part of the now Legacy evo combiner gimmick where his limbs can be removed and placed on other figures. I didn't really try this though I probably will when I get Shra...
