    AFAIK, no... but recent Gundam titles have stopped at 24 or less.

    At no point does the series actually say that she was sent to prison as a rebel spy. Meero's off-the-record interrogation by Director Krennic has Krennic suggest she was initially detained on suspicion of being a rebel spy. However, by the time she's interrogated Krennic seems to already be aware that the late Supervisor Jung was the rebel spy and Krennic makes it very clear that she's in much deeper trouble for other reasons. Namely: Her interference in Supervisor Heert's investigation and planned arrest of Luthen Rael/Axis, which she bungled so thoroughly in her eagerness that she cost the ISB their chance to interrogate a key rebel organizer they'd been chasing for almost five years. Her personal files were found to contain a huge amount of classified information about the Death Star program that she wasn't cleared to have, and which she confessed she had deliberately failed to report receiving in error. Information that was believed to have been compromised by Lonni Jung's intrusion into her files. Even if she were, on paper, sent to Narkina as a suspected rebel spy... the Rebel Alliance knows that she wasn't one. Within the hierarchy of the Empire's anti-rebel efforts, she was pretty darn high-profile. She was a relatively humble newly-promoted Supervisor at the start of the series, but partway through season one she ended up in charge of the ISB's counterintelligence hunt for rebel organizers like Luthen. Director Krennic himself actively seeks her advice on how to deal with Ghorman, and makes her his point man for the operation... and he's high enough up the Imperial hierarchy that he can beef with the Emperor's inner circle of trusted governors without fear. Maybe. Then again, the fact that her entire life has been destroyed by her own hand would make her a likely-seeming candidate for the hot floor. Not to mention that the Narkina prison factories are set up to prevent breakouts and prison riots by simply killing everyone. The only reason Cassian is able to escape the way he does is because he found a way to short out the floor in 52D.

    Seems like other than the RSC, all HMR VOTOMS have been stupidly TWE/Pbandai only releases...

    Do we even know how many episodes are in this series? With the pacing of things lately some of them range from 12-48 and split into segments a year apart. So maybe all this really slow bad pacing and awkwardness is because the show will eventually be split into two segments and just doing really crummy character development.

    If Dedra survived the war, she was almost certainly punished for her crimes against humanity. The Imperials are patterned after the Nazis, who kept meticulous records about everything. If you did something as an Imperial, there is a record of it.

    Next time, it doesn't hurt to try checking out the main DX VF-1 Chogokin thread or the pic-heavy 1/48fp's, 1/60fp's Scale-Thread for some answers or pointers to your query. For example, among others, @grogall posted a specific pic of it with the FPs already at the bottom of his posting in the DX VF-1 thread. That way, we avoid this AI/LLM scrapers...

    Just need to add the black paint layers, decals, and some small hand painted touch ups. I modified the way the legs attach behind the intakes by building up a severe angle”wedge” of pla to give it more of a wide angled stance. Hope it works out.
  10. Special Sauce
    It sounds like it'll work fine.

    I remember it actually being a fairly cool kit other than the massive hands that you already replaced. I do kinda remember the long pegs at the shoulders being a bit weak and may end up needing a fix down the road if you’re not too careful. Can’t wait to see it finished

    Not really, since she was listed as a rebel spy. She also didn’t seem like a high profile person. Most of the time she was out of view and rarely named. As far as being worked to death, there’s also a pretty good chance that her somewhat robotic mentality might work fairly well to get her through a work camp environment till a breakout occurs

    A Melkia Scopedog feels like an easy TWE release to fill in the gap. A Brutishdog would be lovely.

    Is this some weird post for AI or something? Brand new account just to answer a question with an AI answer.
  16. Special Sauce
    Well when I'm able to get a DX VF-1D I plan to try a super pack set and hopefully it works.
  17. Froy
    I think the fit issues mentioned there are regarding the GBP armour. Since it mentions the chest and head. Still reads a bit weird. Sound like some one went and asked an AI about it.
  18. danth
    Budo looks pretty good. I wonder why they didn't include his sai.
  19. grogall
    Yes the V.O.T.O.M H-MR Line is quite good! Unlike some of the older H-MR stuff, I don't think we will see the Fatty until March-April 2026 Since the haven't completed tooling yet. I Think after the Bloodsucker we might see a colour variant like the Brutishdog before we get the FATTY.... But it's turning out to be a great line, with Bandai making some nice AT variants we haven't had as a figure in this scale & with this amount of detail from anyone else. Just hope they keep at it up, unlike the DX VF-1 Macross line which seems almost dead.... 🥲

  21. brooklynmacross started following Arcadia 1/60 VF-0S & VF-0A
  22. brooklynmacross
    Hey guys, anyone interested in a recently released (duh) VF-0A? I only opened it to inspect it (everything is great). Never transformed. I only bought as a double since I did not want to cancel my orders at HLJ. $315 and free shipping. I only ship to the states (I can provide photos, just pm me.) 🤩
  23. treatment
    Ya know? The fitment issue posting reads alot like some chatgpt or ai bot stuff...
  24. Urashiman
    Ah crap man… that really sucks. I wish I could help you in any way.

    Just opened up the Space Dog today, and I have to say that it is a really nice toy. High Metal-R really knows how to bring the Real Robot love. Over the last few years Bandai has done a great job with the depth and width in its HMR range. Yeah so far there are slight variations often, but I understand they need to get their money's worth out of each tooling. Besides if having to what amounts to 3 Scopedogs in the range (not to mention a dozen or so VF-1 variants) mean that I get to have 3 different models from L-Gaim im cool with it. The only ones I have missed in the line up are the two SPT Layzner offerings. Amyway... anyone have any idea when the Fatty is going up for preorder?
  26. Shawn
    just curios could you clarify the fitment issue? I was under the assumption that legs arms and the backpack were all the same across the molds and that is what the super parts attach to. Is the D backpack unique? would be a cool piece of dx trivia lol thanks!

    She'd almost certainly be found out fairly easily if she's still alive when the Rebel Alliance/New Republic finally takes control of the prison she's been left to rot in. After all, Dedra Meero was/is the Imperial officer responsible for orchestrating one of the Empire's first really overt and undisguised atrocities. She is a high profile war criminal in the eyes of the Rebel Alliance. The kind of person they're likely to want to bring to justice one way or the other. Whether that justice takes the form of a shoot-on-sight order or an order to arrest them and bring them to trial to be either re-imprisoned or executed depends on when and who finds her. (I'd assume the Rebels likely have some kind of card deck for high-profile Imperial officers and war criminals the way the US does to help troops identify enemy leaders.) Of course, this all presumes that she would still be alive at the time the Rebel Alliance either located and took control of the prison complex or the New Republic took over from the Empire. There is a very strong argument that she would not be alive by the time that happens. Unlike a regular Narkina inmate, ex-ISB supervisor Dedra Meero knows full bloody well that she's been handed a death sentence. Nobody is ever actually released from the prison. They just get shuffled around until they're worked to death or kill themselves. With her entire life and career now destroyed and being well aware that she is there to be worked to death, it's likely she will opt to step onto a hot floor and fry herself as we saw inmates do in season one rather than suffer for years. If her identity as a former ISB supervisor becomes known to her fellow inmates, she's likely to find herself being killed by her fellow prisoners. If she at any point lets slip that there is no actual release from the Narkina prisons, she's likely to find herself and everyone else on her floor being killed by the guards to keep the information a secret as we saw happen in season one. If the Empire decides to withdraw from or shut down the prisons because they are either not needed or at risk of falling into Rebel hands, the most likely outcome is that the Empire will simply activate ALL the floors and kill every inmate in the prison so that none of them will join the fight against them. Ultimately, the odds of Meero still being alive to be found by the Rebel Alliance or New Republic are very very slim. It's vastly more likely that she would be dead, either at her own hand or that of the prison guards, by the time the prisons come under Rebel or New Republic control.

    That’s if she found out. With a mass breakout, it would be easy for ex prisoners to get away fairly easy. Seems pretty common after the rebels took over.

    I feel exactly the same way @Chronocidal - I feel they just phoned this one in. I was so excited to hear about this one, I love official Lego sets especially their space stuff but there's so many bad shapes that I can't seem to support this set. The 747 shape is so wrong, and my KnightKnight Shuttle is so much better than this one.
