    Some impressions from the model exhibition at this year’s Shizuoka Hobby Show:

    With regards to the AMT Rodimus I wonder how expensive it will be. He seems to be roughly the size of K^3 Rodimus and the prototype is painted the same way (maybe with reduced detail, hard to tell without the K^3 next to it). Plus someone already posted that it will have die cast metal parts. So if it is the same scale, has the same amount of paint, the same material mix and has the added complexity of a transformation I can see the AMT Rodimus being as expensive (because it doesn’t come with all the useless accessories K^3 Rodimus) as the non transforming Flame Toys one. I wonder if Transformers fans are willing to spend as much for a transforming IDW Rodimus that don’t have the Flame Toys version already. Personally I want Takara to leave the Flame Toys designs alone. I want Flame Toys to release more K^3 figures and not force a transformation mechanism into them or compromise their designs in order to be transformable. One commenter mentioned that maybe Flame Toys releases aren’t selling as well as expected and thus they want to recoup money by collaborating with Takara. I can also seeing it the other way round: Takara is trying to capitalize on the success of Flame Toys.

    I had the chance to visit the Shizuoka Hobby Show today and was able to take some pictures from the Takara booth. Please enjoy:

    Are you going to transform it? I‘m super interested how the toy holds up after all these years.

    Sadly there doesn’t seem to be a way to add all pieces in just one set. Maybe I can figure something out once I have my set in hand.

    Very nice, definite buy. I think Elecman was the first Robot Master I ever defeated when I played Mega Man for the first time on my Game Boy.

    I‘m disappointed in the Lego Artemis 1 set. The start ramp takes up most of the bricks (I read somewhere that it’s 22/27 bags in the set). The rocket is significantly smaller than the Lego Saturn V, even if the team rockets are almost the same size. And the set comes with copious small stickers that will be a nightmare to align.

    I preordered one from HLJ, thanks.

    I thought the idea is that after WW2 they diverted from our reality by focusing their effort on developing better nuclear fission reactors instead of going the integrated circuit route our reality took. So it’s not like they were stagnant for a long time. All their electronics look a bit old fashioned (i.e. CRT based) but powered by mini nuclear reactors. It was how the game designers envisioned in the late 90s (at a time were the whole flat LCD screen in your hand aesthetic wasn’t a thing) to signify that the Fallout universe is different from ours but still familiar and the franchise ran with it

    I might have to get the Hot Toys Darth Revan. How much is the MSRP? HLJ has it for ¥40000 but I guess they have to import stock from HK so that might not be the best route to go.
