  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah I guess the pilot-in-cockpit video KC released not too long ago wasn’t the final painted version.
  3. MKT

    Macross CMS Figures

    That’s quite a nice collection when everything is laid out & displayed. I don’t have access to mine at moment, but I now recall there’s an inconsistency between my Sitting Minmays. The one from the Minmay Collection special set (which you have on the second row from front), has the desk leg a bit too long. As a result, Minmay is sort of straddling on both rear chair legs with the fronts off the ground. I can’t see if yours have that issue too since it happened to be blocked in the pic. The other watercolor sitting Minmay I have is fine though - exactly like yours, all 4 chair legs touching the ground with the desk leg being slightly angled forward.
  4. The metallic bubblegum is a weird choice for colors
  5. Star War is going to suck now. Andor, Acolyte & Skeleton Crew were all departures from the usual formula. Making each of them was a risk and results varied. As bad a the Acoytle was at least they tried to do something new. You don't get shows like Andor by playing it safe. The Filoni-verse is bland, functions like the cartoons it was based on, loaded with fan service and is creativity bankrupt. You might find a good scene here and there. They might introduce a really good idea but don't have the balls do anything meaningful with it. But this is the path they are going with for now because it is the safest.
  6. Posted by Leung Ming on FB. The skull face is a surprise inclusion.
  7. Add up that product is not available for over seas buyers not even via some retailers like nin nin (that I have been using lately). Only a few show have appeared at mandarake and not for a step price like other releases. People getting to re-sale to get some extra money seem to be just walking by it.
  8. Today
  9. There they are. The equivalent of clown shows, but hands.
  10. New Jason design https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3868657/friday-the-13th-owners-reveal-new-jason-voorhees-designed-by-special-effects-legend-greg-nicotero/
  11. Yeah, I think quite a bit of them look bad with the clear hair, while others look good or fine. Bad: Hikaru, Ishtar, Misa Good: Minmay, Milene, Moa, Sara, Roy, Basara The ones that look bad look bad because they either have hair on the side that is painted and therefore doesn't match the rest of the hair (Misa, Ishtar) or it just looks too translucent on its own (Hikaru). At this point, I've managed to get them all except for series 1 chase and the two WonderFes exclusives. I'm still not sure there is a clear hair DYRL first concert Minmay (I haven't seen any photos of it). I originally got some from series 1 and 2 about 20 years ago but had to go back and rebuy an Ishtar (her pinky finger broke off) and get some of the more expensive figures from each series (like both Max figures and solid hair Hikaru).
  12. Well when you regurgitate the third version of the same model, with only slight differences you can expect customers not too bite! Like I said previously had this been a VF-1A Cannon Fodder we wouldn't have this conversation since it would have flown of the shelf even if it was one of the most generic Valkerie's! Never understood why they used this particular unit to celebrate Macross since 1982... Just hope the lack of sales for this particular unit, is not holding up Bandai for continuing to make further versions!
  13. I'm not entirely sure what direction they're trying to go with this new legioss design but it's just not for me. Adding the gundam head and all the janky gundam bulk underneath in fighter looks really ugly. Also who blocks off half their front intakes by slapping large guns on the lerxes. I'll pass on the overstylized design and wait for my riobot stuff to ship and hopefully there's not crazy tariffs in the US at that time XD
  14. ... y'know, you're right. There is a visible toilet on the Razor Crest in The Mandalorian. I guess poor Mando just has to cross his legs and wait now that he's got that Naboo starfighter. 🤣 Kiloparsecs. It's difficult to believe Andor and The Rise of Skywalker are even in the same franchise, so vast is the difference in quality. Imagine what we could have had if the likes of Tony Gilroy had been given creative control of the sequel trilogy instead of Jar-Jar Abrams.
  15. With Ayane on the way I guess it should not have been a surprise:
  16. It wasn't, but I don't think that ever stopped HG from harassing vendors trying to sell merch from other parts of the franchise. I don't remember if there was ever direct confirmation that HG was involved, but I do remember getting some early pre-orders of Frontier valks at BBTS that got completely canned for one reason or another. They just stopped trying to sell them at all pretty quickly.
  17. It was never on the table to begin with. Harmony Gold has no claim over anything beyond the SDFM elements used in Robotech. Not if merchandise is any indication... For every Basara figure/poster/acrylic stand available, there are 50 different Sheryl and Ranka variations. 😅 Even Mylene is more visible over here than Basara. 🙄
  18. They're almost literally based on G1 Convoy's (Optimus Prime's) hands from the 1984 toy- Arii model: G1 Convoy/ Optimus:

  20. There's a vast difference between "prepainted" and "parts molded in appropriate colors." 😒 Plus the hexagonal bolts, the horrible orange and teal colors, the ugly-ass head... The whole thing stinks to me. Of course, that's to be expected from "Skunk Works Toys." 🙄
