Okay, thanks! Good to know. I'd highly recommend Yotsuba&! (the manga Danboard comes from) if you're in the mood for a beautifully-drawn series that's sweet and funny.



Thought this was going to be a month of purely working through my backlog (Figure-rise and Furai kits, I will complete you), but instead this fluorescent boy showed up today. It's Earthrise Grapple! He's super-simple (barely a dozen transformation steps, and he's Voyager-sized), but still very fun to mess around with. All of the articulation you'd want, with only a couple problems. The arms don't really tab in to the torso, it's mostly friction, so any time you swing his arms out they're going to detach. Also, the way the crane armature pegs into his feet for truck-mode is scary tight. There are a bunch of reports of fans accidentally shearing off the pegs by untransforming him, so be careful.

He's a pretty good Grapple. He's nearly incandescent in his orangeness. I dig him!

Yeah be real careful with those crane arm pegs. I live orange but do not care for Grapple oddly enough, probably just the shade that he is

Yeah, he's Safety Orange, which is appropriate but also maybe not for everyone.

Star Wars Episode IX The Rise Of Skywalker is on DVD. I upgraded Episodes I - VI on DVD a while ago having bought Episodes VII and VIII on DVD.

Also got The Hunger Games Trilogy on DVD

Did you play Persona 5 before or is this your first time getting it? In any case this will be a hell of a good time; I can't wait to play the new version someday.

But for now... this. I also got the Rampage Gatling key in at the same time coincidentally. I was a bit worried that the dial wouldn’t work as well as it does in the show based on how Japanese reviewers were handling it but you can actually spin it real good. Fun toy.

Played but never finished. Been meaning to dive back into it and this new expanded version seemed like a good opportunity.

Let see, so far I got the Earth Rise Grapple on April 1st and yesterday I got oddly enough a Hot Wheels car. Not into cars but this was a purple car with a skull on the front and skeleton arms on the sides. It had the things I like and was 94 cents so of course I had to get the car.

How are you liking that Grapple?
