    Yeah - I kept checking to make sure I’m not on the wrong thread.

    So, I think the only thing I don't like on this figure is the head. I feel the snout is to short. Though not enough to make me not buy it. I'm loving it. I'm anxiously awaiting the instock notification.

    You just need to learn to train your eyes and brain to automatically ignore the hate and keep yourself settled on "OMG I WANT THIS THING GIVE IT TO ME NOW PERFECT EFFECT!"

    You know, it's almost as if one might say a conversation is a fluid thing that can change at a moments notice before course correcting... In fact, one could even suggest people aren't robots who only have single subject matters on the mind.... And one might even go so far as to say a complaint thread would be a better place for complaining without offering anything new, no? Kinda makes you think. :rolleyes: 

    I guess more on topic, you don't suppose the big wings will fragile would you? That is starting to concern me a bit since I've never had anything that big before, and compared to his size they do seem a bit thin. I hope the plastic is very sturdy.

    Even without the sarcasm, your point is valid. Equally valid is my point - that it gets hard to find information in a thread REALLY fast when it gets buried with pages of off-topic posts. One would think that when the fluid nature of said conversation led to in-depth discussion of toys that are unrelated to TM-2, people would have the sense to head to the official threads to continue their discussions. Heck, maybe I'm the weirdo here, for checking a TM-2 thread daily for news about TM-2, finding only disappointment when every bump and comment is about figures I don't like, don't want, have no interest in, which already have gigantic threads dedicated to them.

    So to mimic your sarcasm: You know, it's almost as if one could say we both have valid points, and one need not see my expression as an attack. While conversation can wander (especially with no new information, reviews, or release date) adding THIS MUCH off topic conversation to the thread will only serve to make finding info and discussion here that much harder. Add in the forums crippled search features, and useful discussion and information is effectively buried.

    ya know all this talk about free discussion and needless bumping of threads with off topic discussion is doing exactly what you are complaining about ;)  just pointing out the irony :p

    I am surprised that this toy hasn't been reviewed by a chinese yet...

    There are production copies already!

    I know, such a pain in the ass for such a wonderful figure. Do we have any updates or know of an accurate release date?

    So here's a question... Is this thing called Mega Dragon or Mega Doragon? I've seen it both ways. I think Doragon makes more sense because it fits the name scheme that Beast Gorira set. And if Mega Dragon is the real right way, wouldn't that mean we should all start calling PE's OpOp Beast Gorilla? That just feels wrong for some reason...

    It's both...and neither. In Japanese there is no "Dr" sound. The Consonant-Vowel combination characters that simulate foreign words spell it out as "Do-Ra-Go-N."

    It's a bastardization of the word "Dragon" in the Japanese Phonetic, and the Romaji (English alphabet) letters are a bastardization of the Japanese Katakana that symbolize those vocal sounds, so one plays off the other in a neverending quest for absolute supremacy in the fight against good and evil under tge veil of moral ambiguity...

    Sorry...been watching too much manga.
