    Some of the Fox films and Orion and some other 80’s R rated studios had some great designs back in the day. The stuff from the Aliens films and of course Terminator and Robocop had some amazing things going on that I think everyone would agree are some very iconic designs, but it is nice to give some credit to those goofy lesser designs in crazy B movies like Ice Pirates and Battle Beyond the Stars

    Knowing that RDJ is DR Doom, I think it would probably be his alternative universe version of Tony Stark rather than lil Steve, although it would give a story for big Steve during the time of FF4. And maybe lil Steve would end up the captain America everyone remembers from those goofy older no budget movies that would pop up on tv

    It’s a bit of a limited option. You have to pick the option that says monthly recombination, and then it only works for items from the same release month, but if an item gets pushed back a month, then it automatically will ship separately. It’s a little confusing and doesn’t always work out

    Slow and steady wins the race!😉

    Looks like that hard work on those mods is paying off here

    I'm going to say most of that 36mm difference is in the Quead's top antenna, like the spire of a high rise building I think its going to be LARGE

    Yes. you should stay with it. Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 ended today, I really hope for a season 3. This show is great. The gluttons never fail to entertain me.

    Why is Captain America riding a Triumph..? So his son becomes Doctor Doom.. Pure speculation. I know

    Can’t let a hero have a happy ending.

    Largely done except for the cleanup. I also need to figure out landing gear and the folding wings, but this gives me what I was after to help fill in the spaceport background. Made a livery based on Juneyao Airlines as well because it's interesting and also why not? 😉 Happy holidays, everyone. See you in the next year.

    Oh lord, it's finally happening. I'm glad it's the movie version first! Now that all the enemy mecha are on the table (at least from SDFM/DYRL), maybe we can get some new fighter types next?

    TBH, I think that impression was probably made literal years before Kawamori actually began his career at Studio Nue. After all, he started attending SF Central Art's monthly meet-up "The Crystal Convention" during his first year of high school in 1975. SF Central Art got its start as a fan group for SF Magazine doing illustrations, analysis, and theory-crafting based on the magazine's publications of domestic and translated western sci-fi stories. They turned that into a business in 1972 when they formed Crystal Art Studio (later Studio Nue) and were doing illustrations for translated western SF as well as developing setting materials and doing some outsource mechanical design for SF and mecha anime works. He basically spent the last 3-4 years of his pre-professional life regularly hanging out with detail-obsessed SF design artists and illustrators whose passion and profession was analyzing and crafting highly detailed science fiction settings. He joined Studio Nue the same month that Mobile Suit Gundam started airing (April 1979) and got wrapped up in SF Central Art's analysis and theory-crafting about that series that spawned GUNSIGHT and then Gundam Century while working on The Ultraman and Diaclone. I don't think any criticism of giant robots hit Kawamori badly. He was already the kind of person who'd ponder the implications and ask probing questions about a SF setting and he had spent four years with pros learning how to build, analyze, and critique detailed sci-fi settings. He was one of the ones making the criticism of giant robots while he was watching and discussing Gundam with the other members of SF Central Art and those criticisms and observations about how Gundam's story was put together informed his own work on what would become Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

    @tekering That's definitely a unique addition to you collection! Good luck with the restoration. Still working away at the Bronco II conversion. I installed some magnets in the rear bottom of the wing openings and the rear lower claves to hold the legs in place whe in fighter mode, I also added some much needed panel lines to the top surface: And with legs engaged:

    wow, really? where did they show the super pack? Been waiting for that release EDIT: OOPS, nevermind. found the posts a few pages back.

    Too funny. The spousal unit and I started watching Foundation, and while it departs from the book in a number of ways, I'm enjoying it. We' started S2 last night. It's definitely spiced up from the far more stoic Asimov storytelling style, and one of the main characters, Salvor Hardin, is a bit of a sci-fi special Mary Sue with her abilities. Still, overall, I'm enjoying it. I wish they'd adapt The Robots of Dawn into a miniseries. I read it when I was around twelve and it has always stayed with me. Seeing how Foundation is being realized, especially with another humaniform robot named Demerzel as a main supporting character, I'd love to see it become an offshoot show.

    just setup my first gokinplus stand. Great work @BroTaku79! Also can't wait for the ThreeZero adapters

    Anyone know what's going on with Arcadia? Their website got hacked weeks ago and hasn't been fixed since. Hope everything is ok over there....

    I've used them a couple times. Never for multiple pre-orders and/or combining pre-orders and in-stock, though, since IIRC they don't consolidate orders the way HLJ do. Or if they do, it's not explained in a way that I was able to comprehend and take advantage of. If you're going to order these and only these, then they're a solid legacy choice. Amiami are similar, though IIRC you're able to combine in-stock items with pre-orders coming out that same month. Me, I've gotten into the habit of mainly ordering old "used" model kits from them, so I don't have to worry about pre-orders and shipping and combining orders, etc.
