  2. Sanity is Optional
    Looks like a dark chrome (metallic coating, rather than high-gloss black), matte chrome, and smoke clear to my eye. Also some bare metal. Definitely looks better in Battroid, but not biting here either. If it was all the dark chrome I'd go for it.

    The Macross purchases thread is in the Macross toys subforum. The non-Macross purchases thread is in the "Anime or Science Fiction" subforum, where all the non-macross stuff goes. The old thread is closed and archived. Seems pretty straightforwards to me. The links are just a shortcut to the relevant sections of the forum.

    Yeah, fortunately another I can sit out on entirely. Of course not including the reaction missiles either, because Bandai gonna Bandai. Really think they should have sweetened the deal by including the sound booster though, since it's not likely to ever see the light of day again, and it was specifically paired with the super packs in the series.

    Transformers One Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. This is supposedly a Studio Series Deluxe-class toy and could release as early as June.

    I had some thoughts on Jetfire... I post a lot of news and reviews here (and sometimes in the unofficial TF thread), so I hope you'll stick around!

    I am absolutely giddy excited to see versions of the MOSPEADA that I've never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing this! Now, if I can someday come across the sidecar version mentioned in the Imai files...

    Well, it's the first WWM release of the regular 31J so I guess it makes sense.

    The main hero valk strikes again. Personally , the most boring of the lot. But apparently the domestic market wants it(?). I am curious to know if there's any real difference here from the last release, or just another pour from the same mold..
  11. WhatBoutMyStar
    Don't really understand the rationale behind this when the 31J has had quite a number of prior releases already. If they're going to re-release any of the 31s, it should be the 31A and Arad's 31S given that they are more difficult to find and more expensive in the aftermarket. Perhaps Mirage's 31C in that group as well.

    not joking Missing Link C01, C02 and MP 44S reignite my love for Transformers once again , now Im looking daily for Transformers news, new releases, G1, Studio Series, etc. In the meantime a few moments ago I POd Cybertron Siege Commander JETFIRE from BBTS , saw some videos of the past release of JETFIRE and it looks amazing.

    Watched Mysterious Disappearances Ep2 today. Honestly, I can't even muster up the enthusiasm to review it properly. It's as bad as the first episode, and yeah it still feels like a vaguely horror-themed contrivance used to excuse shots of the protagonist's massive rack.

    Nice job so far! BTW: I know it doesn't have it's legs yet, but it kinda reminds me of what Jaws would look like in the year 3000!

    OMG Date a Live V has given us 2 episodes of solid plot progess!!! The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are upon us.. repent! lmao. 2nd Ep of Konosuba did not dissapoint either.
  22. MisaForever
    Wow, not available until the end of the year? Geez. Oh well, still a good price.

    Browines!!! Thanks to @sh9000 for pointing me to Jungle when a opened one was available. It was like 2 months ago. A few days latter one more popped up. First time getting Macross stuff from them. Super Hikky comes from Mandarake. Just picked up the last too ones from the post office. Brownies weren't particulary cheap but I'm happy I'm still able to fill some gaps in the Hi Metal R collection.

    I'm about 10 years too late to the VF17 party but finally have one.

    Just got these guys in this week. They are New Age's Rhedosaurus (Sludge), Freyr (Swoop), Herbie (Bumblebee), and Vanishing Point (Cliffjumper). These guys are tiny. a few reference pics. First a LEGO minifig for scale. Here they are with New Age's takes on fellow Minibots Powerglide and Cosmos. Sorry for the blurry pic. Here they are with G1 Huffer, the only OG Minibot I own. With Iron Factory's takes on a blue Cliffjumper repaint and their take on Huffer. Here are Rhedosaurus and Freyr with New Age's take on Grimlock. I also wanted Freyr (Swoop) in G1 toy colors except with a blue chest, but they only make a toy version with a red chest. So the blue version unfortunately has the toon coloration instead of the shiny paints and tampo. I love how that blue looks though. NA's Sludge stays true to the G1 toy's shaping and placement of the robot chest in sauropod mode, two areas where the Has/Tak SS86 deviated much to my disappointment. This take on Sludge is nigh perfect. Like the SS86, there are dino-specific front legs, which store in the bot's torso, used effectively. The sauropodian neck has two swivel joints built into it allowing for several degrees of motion omnidirectionally, the head can look up nearly 90 degrees, and the mouth can open about 30 degrees. The tail has three swivel joints allowing for some expressive left and right swishing. Bot mode has all the standard pose ability, including ankle rockers. He also has double jointed elbows for 180 degrees of bend, single jointed knees that extend well past 90. Paint and tampo are crisply applied and look amazing. Being partial to Sludge, the only Dinobot I owned as a kid, I love this figure. Freyr is no slump, either. As well as sporting an excellent range of articulation throughout in bot mode, his transformation skews towards the G1 toy where the arms collapse on themselves, the chest collapses upwards and inwards, and then the arms further collapse inwards giving his ptero mode a slimmer body. he's still somewhat brickish , but it's not as bad as it could be if all those things didn't collapse to thin him out a bit. Overall, he looks great in both modes, and again, I'm glad I got him. New age is killing it with their Dinobots and I'm excited to get their takes on Slag and Snarl when they release.
