What did Christapha say in the ear of that guy at the club in D girl to make him leave?

This year I have watched the original series, war in the pocket, Stardust memory, Zeta, and halfway through ZZ right now. Ive come to one conclusion, these things are incredibly easy to steal. They have no guards and no locking mechanism. WHY?! Feels like a massive oversight.

For those that have both or I guess anyone that knows. Is the new Symbiote Spider-Man the same body sculpt of The attack titan figure they recently came out with?

Edit: thanks for all your responses guys. Got really good engagement. Some figure subs ignore talks like this.

So I collect 1/12 figures which are increasingly more expensive these days. I dont collect 1/6 but the prices have always been an eye catcher to me. How does anyone afford this hobby? I find myself spending hundreds every month for 1/12 I cant imagine the damage these bigger works of art do to your bank account if you want more than one a month. Do you guys just have to be super selective on what you pick up?

Rant warning for anyone that cares lol

So my whole life I have always had a pretty distant appreciation of the Gundam franchise. Never sat down and watched many shows. Didnt realize there were different universes and such. I had watched a few Iron Blooded Orphans and knew of Gundam Wing vaguely as a 90s kid. Also I watched two netflix releases Hathaway and Requiem for Revenge. I didnt really even know the difference between Zeon and Federation.

This week I've been binging the original Mobile Suit Gundam show I believe commonly referred to as UC 79 on episode 31 and I am very impressed.

Obviously the acting and animation is very of its time and dated. But man is it way deeper than any show about giant fighting robots has any right to be.

I have actually been an infantryman in a war deploying to Afghanistan twice when I was 18-19 and again at 20-21 when I was in the Marines.

The things this show touched on early with young people being in these scenarios really resonated with me. My first deployment was in Helmand province and we saw a lot of fighting and was covered by a BBC article. The battle fatigue, the stress and ptsd, the way they are constantly struggling to make things work without getting resupplied. The loss of crew and civilians. Everything in it is so much more impactful and handled really well for a property that I always saw as "a crazy anime about robot suits."

Hathaway was also very good and had lots of depth in itself but I hadn't realized they were putting this type of quality anime out in the late 70s?

Just a great show and I cant wait to watch more like SEED, Unicorn, Wing, and all the others im a super fan now. Just wanted to share that with homies who also love the franchise. Its really good.
