My overall reaction to the set is that it's pretty good. I'd give it a B.

Some of the things I'd add and/or change would be:

The ability to color the wings and backpack. I know that a lot of steampunk is brown, but it isn't universally so. Giving us the ability to make bright brassy fittings on the wings and backpack seems like a no-brainer to me. One guy brilliantly made a steampunk spacesuit helmet out of a dark green terrarium, going from this:



to this:



One of THE classic steampunk examples is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which was quite colorful indeed:



Wouldn't wings like that be cool? I think so.

I'd also like to be able to color all of the hair that comes with the hat. Right now only the curls can be colored. And don't get me wrong, it's mesmerizing to spin the character around and watch the curls spiral up or down... I'd just like to go with something other than black for the other hair options. Also, brighter hats.

Giving females the long coat.

I think it's filling out welfare forms.

Poor BAB.

Megan Fox looks taller as a blonde.

The two shows I make time for are Supernatural and The Big Bang Theory, and they've both been razor-sharp and scintillating. Except for the 3-episode "Momathon" last Fall, I haven't been able to catch Chuck, so I'm waiting for DVD, but what I saw was just as good as anything else Chuck has done.

I've always hated all iterations of The Office and genuinely do not understand what people see in that, and I found 30 Rock to be insistently unfunny. I only saw the initial episode of Community and find it impossible to believe that the writing and acting has slipped below that low level.

I thought the first episode of Mr. Sunshine was quite funny and that it had a lot of promise, but the network was clearly just burning it off, since it had been in the can for nearly a year and a half. After that, it had the same issue as Chuck for me -- I'm always busy Monday nights, so I can't watch TV and forget to tape anything.

No Ordinary Family I really wanted to like, but it stumbled quite a bit. The Cape started strong but committed hari-kari, and I only watched the astoundingly awful Smallville because it led into Supernatural. Survivor had one of its best seasons ever this year and The Amazing Race is always good.

Two and a Half Men really stumbled out of the gate this year, and there certainly was more going on behind the scenes as evidenced by that show's implosion. Rules of Engagement is something I accidentally watched a couple of times after BBT, but I actually started to like it. Sometimes it was wicked funny.

That actually looks pretty good. Has a very Supernatural vibe to it.

I saw ABC's upfronts, and every single one of them have "Canceled" stamped all over them. The Tim Allen show will probably hang on just because of his contract, but I doubt any of them will last on their merits. More like lack of suitable replacements.

Welcome back, old timer. I just want to say

Holy ****!

Due to a positioning glitch, my Dual Wield Blaster USAim faced off against a Praetorian Clockwork in utter blackness. It was ridiculously cool.

If the Praetorian Invasion were a movie, it would be shot in Cinemascope.

From the recent Praetorian invasion on Champion, my wee tank Eleventeen taking a few dozen simultaneous hits:



Full shot here.

I was just trying to get a shot of the Lego Bazookas flying around and accidentally caught the multiple impacts, resulting in the negative space cool color show.

Superb.

In this photo of Arches National Park, can you see Jabba the Hutt?

I always thought the show's logo was brilliant.
