    As much as I don't like Wheelie, I kinda like that Wheelie. I'm definitely in for Outback, been expecting him since they did Brawn. Still waiting on Swerve...

    I think everyone is reading too much into the preorders with an old mindset. Everything from revivals like 25G, Tornado, 31J, 262Hs, 171EX, 25S armored and 27, have all been selling out very slow. Some of them are still in stock. Even the PO for the Fire Valkyrie is still in stock at a few places. PO madness is simply no longer much of a phenomenon for these toys. The only exception to this was probably the YF-19. While the 21's sales were hampered despite being new and having demand... It seems like it's just the current trend with DX Valks. It may just be the result of the overall known issues of recent bandai action figures in general, including metal builds, and the economy, and bandai overproducing as they embrace global releasing valks after the legal issues of the macross IP cleared up Even if they had perfected the sculpt for this release, my guess is that it would just sell out at a similar same pace. There's no way this thing could sell out faster than the 19Kai

    Mark H. replied a comment saying the shoulder fins don't come off. And another one saying the leg missile hatch doesn't open even though it seems like it should.

    May I Ask For One Final Thing? So... this one is another fine installment in that curiously specific genre of "a noblewoman who was engaged to the self-absorbed second prince until he decided to take up with a girl of lower social status and use malicious rumors and false accusations to ruin his fiancée's reputation and call off the engagement takes her revenge." It is WEIRD how often that one comes up. You wouldn't think such an incredibly specific premise would be very common, but this is like the sixth or seventh one I've watched with that exact formula in the last two years. This one's got moxie though. Instead of running away in tears until she's rescued by a better love interest or rejoicing and gladly running off to live her life as a free woman, Scarlet El Vandimion is having none of that "the best revenge is living well" nonsense and decides to get MAD. Three minutes and thirty seconds in and I am SOLD. This series did a better job making its protagonist relatable in three minutes than most shows do in three episodes. I am not only all in, at the end of the first episode I'm ready to declare Scarlet El Vandimion Fall 2025's Best Girl. 11/10. Wife material. Rollicking good fun and my top contender for this season's best show. I was so enthused I started the second episode straightaway...

    tbh, the Tomahawk armor makes it better. Not good, but better.

    “Oh honey, I’m home!” *Photos are sort of lacking and may try and get updated ones tomorrow with natural light You can sort of see the blue shimmer on the back. It’s hard to capture, but best seen in natural light. Next up by request from my kiddo, we have the L-Gaim 1/144 Ashura Temple

    Probably waiting for a less "austere" emigrant ship to set out on. 😆 The 1st Generation Megaroad-class ships were not the most comfortable place in the galaxy, with Macross Chronicle noting that rioting in response to the living conditions on those ships was not unheard-of. The really nice emigrant ships like the City-class are still about five years off, and the really posh Island Cluster-class is about sixteen years in the future yet. If Earth got wiped out, the rest of the galaxy probably went first. Earth in Macross is the center of the galaxy governmentally, economically, technologically, and militarily. It's so heavily defended you'd almost thing they took the whole First Space War thing a bit personally. With every major defense contractor and corporation headquartered there and the most advanced weapons available anything that can take Earth out is likely to have no trouble finishing the emigrant planets off.

    Yknow i think id be stuck on earth too...dreaming of heading out towards the stars. That would make a great concept ....maybe 2110, earth was again decimated by an event and earth is long forgotten by the colonists that had since long departed into the stars. A lonely story of someone who wants to head out towards the stars but has to get some leftover ancient valk tech working, builds a new valk out of it,

    I'm just committed to breaking them off entirely on at least one of mine, can you tell if they're glued in as a separate piece, or actually molded together with the shoulders? If they're molded on, I'm just going to saw them off of the sideways gerwalk set, that looks even dumber to begin with.
  18. armentage started following 3D modelling super parts for joke machine

    That’s awesome! I just took apart my own original ‘80s JM that I played with to death as a kid. Hope to design some replacement parts. I’m missing and arm and the whole backpack assembly 🖤

    @tekering Wow you are soooo busy! Best of luck to you. 👍✌️

    I think this was teased before the current admin, but I’m not gonna stop you from blaming whatever you want, but I thought these were Kitz Concept or Kids Logic. I can never get those two company names straight

    I think it's a good thing when 3rd party companies veer into more grounded designs: This 1/100 scale "GUS" is putting out serious Jesta vibes. And I do love me some Jestas.

    With about a month left before the "40th anniversary of Robotech" display I've planned for our annual modeling exhibit, I've still got to paint my 1:48 Regult, three 1:48 Destroids, four 1:48 Logans, and two 1:1400 SDF-1s... and dammit, I still can't tear myself away from the Mos Eisley cantina! Having completed the ceiling, I've been fine-tuning the lighting and figure placement... ...repainting Hasbro figures... ...and 3D-printing parts for characters that never got action figures. There are just so many more characters I want to complete, but I've got to put Star Wars aside and shift my focus back to Macross... 😓

    That was an absolute cluster. I hope other backers find their way towards Ramen Toys' Airwolf.

    Wondering if someone could make an add-on kit for this that corrects the chest issue (extend the sides a bit so they line up with the cab)? Perhaps 3D printing could help with that; I'll have to check Yeggi and see if anyone has addressed this yet.

    Think GBP, not fast packs. While this line is not something that interests me, I like the idea of armor variants like FEXT with their OWL.

    If they changed the nose they could've pretended it's the one from that godawful Robotech Remix comic. Y'know, the one Titan comics based off stolen Macross-inspired fan art? I doubt anyone involved is willing to spend the money to make a new comic. The last licensee didn't fare so well. Tough, but fair. It really isn't lovely, that's for sure. It almost feels like the lower half is in a different scale than the upper half... like someone took the body of a 1/72 and tried to graft 1/60 legs onto it.
