  1. Past hour
  2. Had some good episodes of Secrets of the Silent Witch and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex this week. Dan Da Dan was initially a pretty interesting, but has bogged down so very badly in this "Evil Eye" business that I'm just bored with it. You can only make a character so stupid until their voice becomes The Most Annoying Sound. Jin started on the wrong side of that line and he has been tracking steadily in the wrong direction. Having a redeemable villain is a fairly standard staple of shounen anime and has been forever... but there are some types of villain who AREN'T and trying to pretend that they are is just wasting everyone's time.
  3. I'd give this a pass as Hasbro doing something for kiddies instead of a collector... if Takara weren't also doing their kid-oriented Wild King line that craps all over this. Yeah, if only Mixmaster would ship. It's the only figure from the wave I don't have. 😒 Yeah, I mean, distribution is pretty sketchy (my local Target doesn't seem to have jack, but my local Walmart is full up on the current AOTP wave. But yeah, Megatron is part of the current Studio Series wave that should be hitting shelves about now.
  4. Today
  5. G1 Hook had a poor leg design, let's be honest; chromed plastic isn't really known for it's resiliency and the nub at the knee that the cab/ lower leg attached to was kind of flimsy.
  6. Thankful I scored one of these earlier this year.
  7. Man, I wish they would reissue the weathered version.
  8. Want. Hopefully not too painful (for my toy budget) to get.
  9. +1 holding out hope that Arcadia will reissue the ghost booster for their recent 1/60 VF-0 releases. #someday #dreams
  10. I mean I don't expect Arcadia to ever re-produce it, but I guess my point was that it doesn't make sense to scale up the HMR version when the 1/60 version already exists to just measure directly. The weapons shouldn't have any trouble fitting either, aside from the chest mounts. My thought was more that it shouldn't be hard to design and print a set of adapters to properly support the original ghost, since Arcadia just can't be bothered to do the work. Edit: To be clear though, if it wasn't stated earlier.. Bandai didn't fix the proportions for the ghost either. They did a straight re-scale of the Yamato version without changing anything, and because of this, it doesn't fit correctly either. The only thing they changed was molding the canards permanently bent into the position that would over-stress the moving Yamato version, leaving the ghost propped up too high in the front.
  11. Gal Gadot if anyone doesn’t remember
  12. As ever, you are so diligent. Great work @tekering .
  13. This one lost a bit of its context when I got merged into the thread. It was originally a standalone post. IIRC @Swann was comparing it to the cover of the KISS album Dynasty? Not quite a weirdest places reference but more a weird reference in Macross.
  14. Chef’s kiss
  15. I’ve had one of those sets saved in my Amazon cart for a few years. I wanted to compare the weapons to Hasegawa’s, but I was always reluctant to order it because I assumed the Bandai Super leg and arm parts wouldn’t fit properly with any other brand.
  16. Another significant detail absent from the Cygnus CGI model I'm printing are these "croquet hoop" fuel pods on either side of the prow: Even from photographed from the back end of the ship, they're still prominently visible up front. Nonetheless, I had to kitbash my own because -- even at the tiny scale I'm working at -- the 3D model just isn't adequately detailed. This "weekend project" has already occupied most of my free time this month, and I'm nowhere near finished...! 😅
  17. My sets came in as well. Picked up 4 sets. Not enough to equip all my fighters though. Hopefully pick up more later.
  18. What is the point of this post? Does anyone know? Three random pics of Global? Why? What's the point of this post? "It's the mustache." What's the mustache? What's the point of this post? A random Fire Bomber post/album cover? What does this have to do with Macross in the weirdest places?
  19. Still, its been 10 years since Yamato release the figures plus the Drone soo kinda thought peeps made a 3d print of the Ghost Booster knowing how rare it is now. But ah well, wait it is then ^^
  20. May'n giving her thoughts about a model in the 9th plamodel modelling competion (1.18.04). Even Shoji Kawamori made an appearance!
  21. I have attended quite a few of concerts. This one is really good!
  22. I liked the first episode, mostly just reintroductions and recaps. On to the gritty.... I'm looking forward to more, good to have to show back after all this time.
  23. A little baffled that, with far more time to release Mafex also isn't including sleeveless arms for Wolverine. Bummer, oh well, I will like my Figuarts version with a Maniple head, and I bought a dirt cheap Love and Thunder Thor and stole his arms
  24. Is SS Megatron supposed to be hitting shelves yet? I was at Target first thing this morning and they had a bunch, looks cool, but I just can't get into another scale.
  25. As far as super/strike weapons, it’s not too bad since they’re in the same box. But as far as packs, that would be difficult for the fighter since it would require new legs and possibly underside parts. As far as the battroid, it would be fairly easy since the parts like panels on the legs were made for swap outs
  26. I figured they were just behind on the notice
