Excellent skill and talent displayed in your incredible work. I hope to someday see your creations in person again.

James Gunn's Superman. AKA Superfriends of the Galaxy. AKA The Superfriends Squad. Use a different formula.

Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Rogue.

How I feel at the moment. Why Danzig never covered the song. Is a mystery

I'ma gonna need a model of that spaceship, STAT!!

So much this! Yes, Superman is an 87 year old property and it will be subject to change over time, but that was unneeded. Previous movies... I almost walked out too @pengbuzz, not just for that alone, but I figured I'd paid my ticket anyway and was looking forward to seeing Supergirl... which it turns out, I needn't have waited for anyway... Gunn did good with Guardians of the Galaxy. The mix of comedy and gag-shtick worked very well in that series, especially as it was not as well known, but not Superman. For me, they come from two completely, tonally different perspectives. What worked for GotG should have stayed there. Maybe I am 'romanticizing' it too much, but I've always felt Superman had a lot more deeper emotion and gravitas than I think Gunn is capable of addressing. This is probably the only time I'll watch this movie. Superman the Movie, Returns and Man of Steel were world's away better! In my opinion.

Yep still have a lot more to do and many more shelves to fill. Looking forward to breaking out the Basara and Mylene figures I bought way back when. Might even slap together the old 1/144 11MAXL kit. Delta is the best Macross series ever... if you've never seen a Macross series before.

It definitely is alot and I can't imagine it not being the priciest Legioss ever, but if my other Pose+ over the years are indicators - it will be solid and quality. This is not the fireconvoywinnebago train wreck.

It looks like casting choices have been made: Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the franchise, took to social media to announce the news. We now know that Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is taking on the role of Link. Miyamoto said that he’s “very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.”

Very nice mods! You've managed to make your own Missing Link 1/55.

For all you 1/55 aficionados that enjoy a vintage model with an updated and refreshed approach. Enjoy.

Leftover fodder from my most recent set of purchases 🤪:

@nightmareB4macross oh yeah!!!

We’re getting there. A few more details like the Battroid Controls Room, detailing, connecting points, and massaging to smooth it all out. So close I can smell the primer.

Just to give a quick update: Yup, I managed to rotate the head lasers about 5 times by gripping them at their base, hoping that it might break up any excess flash. But no luck, they still require a ton of force to rotate. And I don't want to rotate them by their base every time, because with all the force needed, one slip of the finger and a head laser could snap. I tried freezing them overnight twice, but it didn't break up the glue. Great idea though! Since this is a KO, I really don't want to subject it to boiling water. The plastic feels as good as an Arcadia, but I still don't completely trust it. So I've settled on breaking out a fresh x-acto blade and carefully cutting away at the seam line on the back of the head where the glue is. Very small flakes of plastic are getting removed in the process, which will probably leave a more noticable seam line, but seam lines don't really bother me that much. And I'll take them any day over a broken head laser.

Yeah, that’s Guy Gardener. I may not be familiar at all with Mr Terrific, but Guy was in a lot of the stuff back when I used to read DC stuff

I could be wrong, but I think someone here on the forums did attempt making 3D replacement parts for the VF-11's a few years ago. If someone did, hopefully they post a link.

Another update on the AJAC project. The transformation is looking good so far. https://www.facebook.com/MaxLabToys/videos/771809178745767/

Beautiful

Can I get a blurry, out-of-focus picture of you to go with the photos of the other cryptids? (I joke, there are plenty of Gundam ZZ fans out there! It's not my favorite, but it's a worthy installment in the UC and in some ways a breath of fresh air after Tomino's relentlessly grim ending to Zeta. I picked those three in particular because they're usually held up as the most impactful... the OG series, the highest-rated series, and that one movie nobody ever stops referencing.) Yeah, that's a pretty reasonable assumption IMO. The NUNS Marines would probably be infantry stationed on the Spacy's warships as well as providing orbit-to-surface work. Kind of the whole "space marine" gimmick anyway. So, when you mentioned this it occurred to me to go look it up and see what the caption on the image had to say. For those interested, that picture can be found in the VF-1X/P section on page 090 of Variable Fighter Master File: VF-1 Valkyrie Vol.2. All three pictures on that page, as well as the two pictures on the next page, appear to depict the same aircraft... a VF-1P Valkyrie with modex 406 and tailcode ZZ. The top image from page 091 shows it's attached to SVC-131, a Spacy composite squadron. The caption on the picture with the two Regults says that it's an aircraft of the Planet Zola Defense Forces, that the Regults it's flying next to are from the UN Spacy Marine Corps, and that both units are en route to a training area for joint exercises. (SVC-131 is presumably an aggressor squadron.) That would make for an interesting series... you could easily work some VF combat into that if there are rogue Zentradi nearby, or the planet is home to some large fauna that are potentially dangerous like on Gubaba's homeworld or the planet from Macross E. The Octos bis is perhaps a bit more explicable. Macross Chronicle notes that the factory producing the Octos for the Anti-Unification Alliance was found and pressed back into service by the UN Forces after the Unification Wars ended. They note that a further 28 Octos units were produced and delivered to the UN Forces before the line was destroyed in the First Space War. Presumably whichever one of the UN Forces defense contractors assumed control of the factory between the Unification Wars and First Space War was able to preserve the design the same way they preserved those of the destroids developed for the UN Forces. Given that Master File suggests both the VF-0 and SV-51 became "phantom" aircraft after the First Space War, presumably much less (or nothing) survived of the specifications or production lines for the VF-0 and SV-51. (Master File has a whole section devoted to Shinsei Industry having to essentially reverse-engineer the VF-0 back into existence based on the wreckage of several VF-0s that were shot down during Macross Zero that was found in a cargo container years after the First Space War. The same was presumably true for the SV-51.) I'm not sure I'd call it a natural resource, at least in the context Humanity and other species are finding it in... Protoculture ruins, old Vajra nests, and Vajra carcasses. Considering where fold quartz is typically found, and that the restrictions on the mining and trade in fold quartz seem to have come about as a result of the Vajra conflict, I'd expect there probably wasn't too much grumbling. The Vajra had all but effortlessly destroyed one of the wealthiest and most heavily armed emigrant fleets in existence, beat the snot out of another, and then attacked a bunch of New UN Government member worlds before the Galaxy fleet's conspirators were stopped. Nobody wants another war with the Vajra. The story of Macross Delta also mentions the New UN Gov't heavily restricts and regulates the mining and trading of fold quartz and banned the use of dimension bombs in war without New UN Gov't approval, suggesting there was probably broad consensus that fold quartz and weapons based on it needed to be tightly controlled to avoid disaster. (Leading right to Cromwell's discontent over the limits placed on the usage of such weapons and other potentially useful technology.)
