    UPDATE: CVAN-65 was delivered to the Crafts and Collections Department of the 2025 Durham Fair (Connecticut). We'll see what they make of her. Stay tuned...

    2.5 HOURS!?!?!? That sounds positively exhausting.

    Yeah, Macross sizing and scale is all over the place. As far as the anime the zentraedi jackets fit a battroid no problem, but their power armors usually look much closer to the same height. But then the line art shows their pilots shorter than the destroids with the ladies being even shorter. But I do at least feel that the Queadluun Rau kit and a Plamax kit will look spot on for the anime scene where Max’s future wife busts into the city. The Queadluun Rau looked bigger, but not much taller than the battroid there.

    Just got back from seeing Demon Slayer the Movie: Infinity Castle. For better AND for worse, Demon Slayer the Movie: Infinity Castle is a two hour and thirty-five minute long episode of the Demon Slayer TV series. What I mean to say is that it shares the TV anime's tendency to punctuate its fights with extended flashbacks revealing the backstory of the villain(s) rather than work their history into the story in a more organic way. It wasn't so bad in the TV anime where those flashbacks were infrequent and maybe 5 minutes or so on average. Infinity Castle breaks up every fight with at least 2-3 flashbacks and the largest of them (Akaza's) is close on THIRTY MINUTES LONG. It dragged on so long that I had honestly forgotten the fight wasn't actually over and the immediate resumption of the fight on its conclusion was a bit of a shock. UFOTABLE did a fantastic job with the animation as usual. Its only real flaw is how the massive titular Infinity Castle backgrounds are an endless parade of tan and brown tatami mats, shoji doors, and wooden rails so every room feels identical and the color palette of the film as a whole is a flat brown except for the haori worn by the slayers. It does kind of show that it's only the first part of a series of films in that most of the characters have nothing to actually do in this portion of the story and get an obligatory line or two at most. It's really only Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Giyu, Shinobu, Akaza, and Doma who are engaged with the story. Nezuko's not even in the castle, Inosuke's... Inosuke-ing somewhere, and the rest of the slayers spend the entire film running around aimlessly. Shinobu's almost an advertised extra herself... The series big bad, Muzan, is also barely in the film despite the fact that this is his castle they're fighting in. Almost the entire thing revolves around Tanjiro and Giyu fighting Akaza (Upper Moon Rank 3), with a minor digression for Zenitsu of all people to have a moment of out-of-character Total Badassery...

    Yeah that’s wild.

    I was curious how that Storm was going to do. That costume is an odd time-piece. For me it's special for three reasons. It's one of Storms Outback costumes, it's how she was actually dressed in Uncanny 275 (and 273), and that was the first costume that got a release from Toybiz back when I was first collecting.

    Crazy how, to be in actual scale with each other, the Batroid should be small enough to sit inside the Queadluun-Rau.
  10. Thom
    Agreed. It really stands out in the real world sequences. They needed a lot let face-on with Flynn and more old school deflected shots and just plain not showing his face at all. Do voice-overs while showing him from behind or something. The money saved there could have been used to better render Clu for his major scenes.

    I had no idea the cockpit on a Tread was in the literal nose of the mecha. Maybe that explains why Treads were so rare (kinda easy to kill with a head-on shot)?

    Decals arrived this afternoon and they are currently drying on the Beta, those extra JB decals came in very handy. Thank you again for those.
  16. pengbuzz
    Looking good; I see you have decals applied?

    @505thAirborne, she’s a beaut’!

    Looks awesome, @505thAirborne! The combo blended beautifully well together. And totally agree about the Alphas. Leave them in one mode, and don’t mess with them too much. Now, we just need someone to paint the Sentinel Tread green, and our board will have a full customized set of the combo’s color schemes.

    @505thAirborne - BROH! That look SOOOOO MEAN! I love it! Great job!!!

    Yeah, as far as the suit itself, the tv version will look great in a battle scene with Max’s 1A battroid
  23. Big s
    Looks really cool
  24. Big s
    A little epoxy always helps in these cases

    Cool CMs Toynami combo there.

    @MKT Thank you! Enjoy the pics. For those who still have the MPC Alpha's, do not tempt fate, find some Poseable's for Soldier Mode and leave your Alpha in fighter mode.

    A few pics of the Beta with the Pilot-less Dark Legioss & Shadow Fighter.

    @sh9000simple yet effective. I went with using vinyl electrical tape in assorted colors. Having purchased a bunch of VF-1S Supers and VF-1A to make these customs tape makes it easy to create customs and keep from damaging paint, parts, or screws. Still your custom is very cool to say the least. The colors appear more than bright enough n the picture, but really are very close to the original paint. Keep those customs coming.
