    This is just my 2 cents but it would be the cherry on top of a huge sundae, what about including a launched armo soldier from one of the bays as an accessory? It would make a static model to breathe life to it. I would be willing to pay if your intention is to make all the capital ships in that diagram unless you've already have done so and I missed out, oh well.

    Because it's not a new mold designed from the start to look like Sunbow Hound, it's a retool of the Siege toy.

    In those screenshots—are the wings on the starliner merely copied over from the VF-25?!? Aside from being lengthened and the SMS logo removed, they look exactly the same. Even the angled bits in the red stripes and the vernier thruster nozzles match up!

    Here's some threezero VF-1S appreciation photos. Enjoy 😀

    @wm cheng Stunning work as always - you created a beautiful beast that looks like it came from the future. You could easily pass this as photos of a 1/48 kit. As for UMa Models, I think their Harrier got good reviews.

    As someone who didn't, and is just now getting a good look at the figure, I have to say it's a major disappointment compared to the rest of the "Studio Series" line. Remember what Hound looked like in the animation? Yolopark remembers: How come SS86 Hound is so... wrong? 🤨 We know it's not because of concessions for transformation, because we have Masterpiece Hound... and even if licensing issues prevent Hasbro from using a distinct Jeep design for the vehicle mode, that's no excuse for these robot mode proportions. Hell, the G1 toy was more cartoon-accurate! 😒

    Appreciate the news. Hound as another frickin exclusive isn't the best, but maybe Pulse will have it for a limited time and I, and other Pulse members, can score a copy. Thanks, Mike.

    If it's the latter, they must have a cradle of some kind to hold it during maintenance/ refurbishment downtimes.

    OK, lots more shows dropping now. The third season of MF Ghost has begun in earnest. The eurobeat's back with the OP Timeless Power... but is it really necessary to show the chubby race queen getting hit in the face with a packaged ham in the OP? They're finally starting to wrap up the plot they left hanging at the end of season two with an injured Katagiri who couldn't use 2nd gear falling way behind. They're really dragging this race out though, yeesh. It was 2-3 episodes last season and it's gonna be at least 3 this season too. Tamon's B-Side... jeez this girl Utage is thirsty AF. She's taken the "fangirl turns her room into a shrine" thing to the point of even having a poster of the titular idol on the ceiling over her bed. Honestly, it's part of what makes the comedy work. She's so absolutely obsessed with this idol that she refuses to reject him for being a real person with real problems and manages to come off as a bit of a heroic comedic sociopath while she's helping him because she can't bear to see him fail. It's cute, it's funny, and it's on the unconventional side. I quite like it. One new one I picked up is Champignon Witch, a light fantasy series about a feared and shunned, but generally harmless and well-meaning, young witch who makes a living brewing medicines for nearby towns and generally helping people. The people of the kingdom are wary or afraid of her because her magic causes poisonous mushrooms to spring up in her wake wherever she walks, which is also the reason for her unusual nickname "the Champignon Witch". Apparently there's some fantastic bigotry involved with the kingdom she's in being ruled by one faction or species of witches and her belonging to the other.

    A little context, this is from the same MTMTE collection as "slightly more magenta" Hot Rod, not a regular retail release. It'll be a Target-exclusive. Also, this is the exact same figure as the one in the five-pack from... last year? 2024? I forget. So, for everyone who said, "I'm not buying four redecos of toys I have just to get that Hound," congratulations, this is your shot to buy Hound alone. For weaker-willed collectors like myself who absolutely did buy a five pack just for Hound, well, I guess I can sit this one out. EDIT: I should also mention that Scourge and Optimus Prime also going to be in that wave, and a second wave will include Megatron, Prowl, Starscream, and the Insecticons. My source only knows the listings and hasn't seen the figures yet, so I don't know what differences there will be, if any. Safe bet that Prowl will be a non-dead version of the dead Prowl, and Starscream will be based on the new Thundercracker mold, though. Hoping the Insecticons are tweaked to have more accurate decos (solid purple arms on Shrapnel, solid black arms on Bombshell, gray hips on Bombshell, etc). Oh yeah, and there's also this. It'll be Generations Selects, not MTMTE.

    One of the points of some debate WRT the Ikazuchi is whether that 300m figure is inclusive of the fins on the back. I tend to side with the school of thought that it isn't, since that allows the rest of the ship to be slightly larger and makes the fit for the bays easier. If I use your art there as a sample, the fin-less 300m is approximately 800px (so a resolution of ~0.375 pixels per meter). That makes the interior dimensions of the bays 85x32px, or approximately 32m x 12m. The Legioss Armo-Soldier's only 4.3m across the shoulders according to MOSPEADA Color Graffiti and a bit under 2m front-to-back meaning six ranks of Legioss's stacked side by side only gonna run ya 25.8m x 8m, meaning there's room for 'em to fit with the spacing seen in the anime in the 300m ship as long as the fins aren't part of that 300m. Making it 1/1000 at 35cm more or less aligns to the "the fins don't count" theory of its size. (That's a topic that the MOSPEADA and Robotech fandoms have chewed over many times in the past.)

    Not so much a 'toy...' Glamdring! Well, a replica anyway. I'm about 90% happy with the purchase. The balance is wrong, there's a slight bit of damage to the sheath and the inscription is a bit rough. But it'll do until I get a better one!

    OMG! Amazing Milia cel for sale. Sadly money doesn't grow on trees for me. Good luck to anyone who is able to get this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/187887415022?_skw=macross+cel&itmmeta=01KEG3H4AJ1NWP8QSHAR4S654B&hash=item2bbef66eee:g:rHQAAeSwg5ppUIK~&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cYqEwrx39k0Y82y4FyrwqltY5BPmJC%2BngkQ4%2FnGjgykoiDBOQHgf00oRhFSc3klMONsAXLE7EFSGc4GwYfELZG910rWT%2FAAG1VNegqqU6Q3mHuudFk7L3KjvXavMGOJr7fmBM6PQR%2Ft6h7h4opITnlbBbtzPDm%2FhfNXQJjhAs4Vq2R6P3QRviedHd5RbSrhAJI2rQS4geweJQFJPsl1KvsnYQMIVEDiqUXQpYIPaUrtpChRGGWDsC9R786%2BaXGIgZY41lOWiJ8b%2FuoZKy0rO3iuoF9jIlMImv2M2vDV522NA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR77FxIP0Zg

    To make a long story slightly shorter, the Artmic stats don't align with the visual proportions of the line-art. Back when I made the Regults, I based the mecha size on a baseline, which is the Zentraedi soldier. If a soldier can't fit in the mech, the stated sizes are irrelevant. Similarly here, I had already made the Horizont and Garfish in 1/350, starting with the Legioss as the baseline. The fighter has to be able to fit in the Garfish hangars, and fit just so beneath the Horizont's lower hull and between the crew pods. Working from this line-art illustration, you can roughly make-out that one Ikazuchi launch bay holds 24 Armo-Soldiers. Now if you take this other animation style sheet shown below, you have a decent idea of the proportions of the carrier, based on the other mecha. Knowing that I have to cram 24 soldiers in one bay, a bay must be a minimum size, so either I must deform the ship, or upscale it to make it proportional. If you look at the image below, it shows you how big the Ikazuchi would be at 300m, and the bays are just way too small. Consequently, I have enlarged the ship because physics. I did goof though, the actual kit scale would be 1/1000 and not 1/2000. Fixed that.
