  1. Past hour
  2. Not sure if at the time this kit was produced if it was difficult to cast certain pieces but this IMS Terror Mirage kit has so many smaller β€œgranular” parts to make a simple part it feels overly complicated. Not a complaint. Just an observation as I move through the sub assembly.
  3. Do you by any chance have a picture of this Famimart VF-25 in Gerwalk or Battroid mode? This is so hillarious 🀣
  4. Today
  5. While I'm no fan of excessive bulk and odd dangling shapes, for an aircraft, and a potential toy, I think it's a pretty cool looking mech. If only it wasn't supposed to transform lol. I have a love-hate relationship with armor packs in general. I love the gimmicks, and the silhouette changes on existing parts, but I don't like the oversized brick nature and excessive additional overhanging components of them. Most of those parts look like they bring reasonable specialized function to the base battroid. Even the absurdness of the pronged gun and big arm blade, could be excused if there was some plot relevant use. I just don't like the spatula fin funnel things and their bulky drum mounts, which IMO don't look good on gundam or any other mecha, and can't really be explained as an attachement over the aircraft's wings. The fighter sketch looks close to the final armored design, with an extra giant gun. The gun itself is too alien for my tastes, but I'm sad that the idea of another gunpod for the armored pack was lost. As for the head, it looks like you interpreted the lower jaw as a V. Will be interesting to see how it turns out because I see the sketch differently. My take is that it's either vertical cheeks only tapering on the x axis towards the front, or even ^ shaped where the lense parts just scallop out the peak. The lense would be smaller and temple/cheeks much wider, as well as the glass you have yet to or not planning to model bubble out and overhang the jaw. Not sure if that make's sense in text lol
  6. Jenius used the acrylic display stand but with the weight, it's complicated.. Perhaps printed in 3D
  7. Probably cost an arm and a leg, but that looks sooo cool!
  8. I agree, it's way too skinny still, and I overemphasized the 'shovel' on the jaw (I liked the idea of a theme of sorts with the big underbite feature on both the A and F heads, but leaned into it a bit too much here). Some updates will be coming. And, yes, here is the full page, along with the fighter configuration. Honestly, the armor is pretty ridiculous and I'm glad they moved away from this concept. Seems the crazy Gundam-esque armor in the Delta movies actually had their origins here in Frontier. Hope to see more restraint and practicality in future designs, but maybe that's just me.
  9. I ordered the 1/12 scale Contra figure from HLJ. They were originally planned to be released in August 2025 but have been pushed pack every month since then. Is it normal that Hiya Toys are being delayed for that long? It seems like they are using the factory where the Mafex toys are being produced.
  10. Another May'n project - Gavan Infinity! https://ameblo.jp/mayn-blog/entry-12954296993.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawPgZGpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe1rV9oXzD6iEFR8qfAc41RejvEqrn7zhM_8Ww5qWyg5wJICTpaloAS0dfwrY_aem_5YOz2RdidiVUslhCbb56mw
  11. Abbymare LIVE broadcast on 24th Jan 15:00 Saturday (Japan time)
  12. This one is definitely going to be watched when wifey is out of the house and I can crank up the 5.1 Dolby Atmos. The last season of Clone Wars was a tour de force of video and sound, so I'm expecting this to be no less AND in 4K, yeh, it's gonna be fun to watch and listen to!
  13. pm incoming to you, derex
  14. Sweet lighting, @Mog! I was never content with my original shot, and I figured it was worth a retake: A higher angle allowed the figures to blend in better with their surroundings, and more adequate light provided brighter colors. πŸ˜‡
  15. Lemme take you back to 2021, a big year for the MCU. Remember Black Widow? Shang-Chi? Eternals? It was a bad year for Disney, but Sony did better with Venom 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home (especially considering we were in the midst of a global pandemic). It was back during those halcyon days that I pre-ordered "Maedas," X-Transbots' Masterpiece-style Camshaft. A specific release date was not announced, but I certainly didn't think I'd be waiting FIVE YEARS for it...! If you ask me, though , it was worth the wait. πŸ˜‹ At long last, the Omnibots are together again! 😁
  16. Looks like another kit just went up for preorder. Of course they went with Sephiroth. Hopefully they do more of the characters from 7
  17. Was thinking something like a wagtail, sniper 2 and a little jesta mash up
  18. knowing the lazy effort, why would I spend 29,000 yen plus shipping and tariffs on this? I must hate money
  19. Artisan Studio Android 18 Early Bird Edition. 🧐 I'm not sure how I feel about this figure. I feel like I am looking at an alien wearing a human skin suit.
