    Will you make a review of the Rick Hunter cyclone?

    Uh, its HBO so expect lot of foul language and close ups of genitals 🍆

    Excited but not expecting a tidy finale as PRIME will be milking this franchise for a very long time.

    I was thinking the thing in the back for the one from delta

    KnowWave, they’ll probably reissue it again one day. Although it might be a few years

    1/55's revisited

    Slave IV replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Thanks for finding all these references! Yes, he doesn’t mention it but he does appear to be using the mechanism the way betsuni pointed out (it was all him, not me). I figure it was something someone else had to know about but I’ve just never heard about so it’s just another little detail that further enhances what I consider the best toy ever made. Yep, thanks for the additional details! Even though none of my chunkys are loose and I didn’t know about the feature, I guess I was always careful enough when transforming. Also, the genius design of it gives it a lot of tolerance and precision at the same time for it to work with minimal wear even if you don’t press the spring down to release.

    From that angle I wish it had a normal cockpit/canopy. The top of the head sticking out looks weird. But I'm really liking the colors. 😂

    Just read your interests under your avatar and you're far more ardent than I am. Everyone has their "thing", though, and at least yours is fairly well-served betweeen anime, Transformers, and other independent toylines. I like transforming motorbikes, but I'm choosy- they don't all spark my fancy, and some I just feel meh about and chock them up as another interesting take. The Mospeada Ride Armor never interested me one bit, so I'm an outlier regarding that design. I'm feeling about the same for the Tri-Charger- it's just not grabbing me, although it's filed away in the recesses of grey matter as a thing that exists. I felt the same way about Bayformers Arcee and the other female Autobots who became bikes- those designs were absolutely atrocious, just god awful. TFP Arcee and TFA Prowl, though, just prime. I'm curious, too. Before they prematurely ended their Machine Robo line (still wish they'd released Supercar Robo, aka Turbo, for whom they had a prototype right out of the gate), they were reportedly working on a Triple Jim figure. If they are affiliated with Pose+, then that Triple Jim that Pose+ had on display may be the one Action Toys intended to release but never did. I'd have much rather had TJ over Tough Trailer who I passed on. As to the Pose+ guys detailing their thoughts behind design decisions, I love that sort of BTS exposition, even if your personal opinions differ from choices they made. At least you understand the reasoning behind the decisions. LEGO has been doing it for many years now, Hasbro has jumped on the bandwagon with their fanstreams, and I watched the Pose+ vid on their upcoming Legioss, which was informative. It would indeed be cool if Bandai would do the same. They've got a lot of 'splaining to do over the YF-21.

    I’m ready for this. Missed out on the larger tomahawk.

    Still a bit gundamesky but not as bad as the Delta. I kinda like more this drone twist than the jousting/recon craft. Lol. It is just me or those canons are a reminiscent of the super/strike boosters from Macross?

    I like the box, not as much as the 1/72 one though.

    Now this fighter gives me the vibes of.. a Space Battleship Yamato jet fighter? Or an Ultraman jet. Perhaps I can expect it to land on Mazinger Z's head & form the brain lol.

    I was curious about Triple Jim because it seems much time has passed without any news. It could be the project has been shelved for time being since there's been no updates. Action Toys is affliated to Pose+, via Awaken Studios. I always enjoy the videos this studio puts out, as the designer explains the design philosophy behind the stuff they put out, and so for better or worse we can appreciate why certain aspects of the toys are what they are. I wish Bandai would do more of these sorts of communication behind their Macross products, but alas the rare ones they do are usually some light fluff segments or interviews.

    Got a cheapo 1/36 VW Beetle from a thrift sale to complement the 3rd party Transcraft BB. Initially wanted to get another Transcraft for alt mode - love the sculpt, but mold is plaque with QC issues so just leaving it in bot-mode only.

    That spring loaded tab is there specifically to keep the front and back halves together in Battroid mode. When pressing it down to disengage from Battroid to fighter it is always best to hold the back plate so you don’t force the metal shoulder hinges to warp and eventually break the plastic clips that keep them in place. Plus it keeps the Battroid tighter. If you often mis-operate these parts the front and back halves will get very loose and sloppy over time. And when you pose an arm with the GU-11 pointing forward the two halves will often split and the arm droops down. And as an FYI, a similar clip system is used in the 1/100 Takatoku figures, but the clip is attached to the nosecone underside and has no spring tension. Hope this helps.
