  1. Past hour
  2. No one will buy the KC Zentran figs once the Bandai versions come out....
  3. Today
  4. One for robot mode and one for fighter, pretty cool. Too bad it not just both types though, but still a cool deal
  5. I've never seen a general retail release sell out on pre-orders like this, especially with the current tariff situation. I know the VF-31A was highly sought after when it first came out but I thought the demand would of have gone down by now going by the availability I see all the time on Mandarake. I wonder if the shops just didn't list that many as their stock in the first place?
  6. Thanks for the link. That’s a great deal. 👍
  7. The Protodeviln? They aren't, as far as we know. Probably never have been, in the direct sense. It's a fairly safe bet that the mind control tech the Protodeviln used on the Varauta forces is the same stuff they used for the Supervision Army, and the way it's described in-series and in supplemental materials it's basically Hollywood hypnosis. They drain a person's spiritia to weaken their mental defenses and then equip them with a sonic device that emits special sound waves to keep them in a sort of hypnotic trance so they're suggestible enough to follow orders. The only people the Protodeviln have really controlled in a direct sense are the people they possess in Macross 7 like Gepernich, Gigile, or (occasionally) Sivil.

  10. To be honest, I think the BFG there kinda overshadows the overall design. Maybe if it were at least a different color or something. The base design looks very elegant though
  11. From what I understand, the offer in the Goosmile shop gives you two full kits, so that's a pretty good price: https://www.goodsmileus.com/collections/blassty
  12. In the art, the elbows are always covered. The only reason they ever end up at the side is when the whole arm is turned to where the elbow faces outward. Even the line art shows the arms turned outward. I’m hoping that’s the case, cause none of the toy pics or early reviews showed otherwise that I’ve seen. Not many reviews seem to exist yet unfortunately
  13. Just finished watching it. Not what I expected. Was good. Gave me the same vibes as Willow or Beastmaster. It was enjoyable, but didn't do anything for me to be a theater-level experience.
  14. They would have to be. The war between the Zentradi and the Supervision Army has been going on for 500,000 years. The captured and brainwashed Protoculture civilians and Zentradi soldiers who made up the original generation of Supervision Army soldiers are no more immune to injury or to the ravages of time than a Human. Given that the Protodeviln and their Supervision Army drove the Protoculture to the brink of extinction in a few short years, there would be only one way for the Supervision Army to feasibly sustain itself long-term: using the existing factory satellite infrastructure in the territory they controlled to create fresh clone soldiers, mobile weapons, and ships for their cause. Ultimately, the Zentradi and Supervision Army are two inexhaustible armies of Zentradi clones locked in a Forever War with each other because their last orders were to "destroy the enemy" and anyone capable of ordering them to stop died or disappeared half a million years ago. They didn't really ditch the Supervision Army. They were defeated, captured, and turned into Sealed Evil in a Can by the Protoculture's Anima Spiritia. They remained sealed for 500,000 years until Humanity colonized the Varauta system and started poking around in the Protoculture ruins on one of the other planets in the system, where the Protodeviln happened to have been sealed. They accidentally let the Protodeviln out, causing the events of Macross 7. Of course, since the Protodeviln were simply the Supervision Army's top-level commanders rather than being some kind of puppeteer parasite controlling those people directly, their defeat and sealing did nothing to actually stop the Supervision Army. Their brainwashed troops just kept right on fighting according to their last orders.
  15. It’s paint day so finally get my lazy butt cleaning out the spray booth and laying down some fresh paper. No more dust. Fingers crossed.
  16. Thanks for the insight. I’m a sucker for the BFG’s hence my obsession with FSS. I am still looking for a fair priced Blassty kit like the fantastic build you had posted awhile back. Yet again, another series I had never heard of. Lol
  17. Alright I just got home from it, it was a good movie, not mindblowing, not amazing, but was good.
  18. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-super-reportedly-slips-to-q3-2026-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-in-short-supply-soon https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-super-refresh-faces-uncertainty-amid-reports-of-3gb-gddr7-memory-shortage Again, the likely scenario. Q1 2026->Q3 2026. 2GB chip demand are are eating resources for 3GB chips causing shortages for 3GB chips, driving up demand for 2GB chips, increasing the cost of 2GB chips. All because of AI demand. 🙄🤦‍♂️
  19. Apparently, it's from a game franchise called Iron Saga, but illustrations are sparse, and I don't know who designed it. I also only found one modeler who finished a painted kit. The Deer Stalker is about the size of a MG kit, and the BFG is included.
  20. They've been using the same style elbows on all of their figures and this doesn't look any different. Every elbow in these toy pics looks like it lines up in a different place on the arm too. I know we're all hating on KC right now which is fair, but this just seems like it's not only a moot point in regards to toy function not to mention a clear design element based on the actual art. I mean, in the mecha manual pic I posted, it clearly shows every. single. armor. with elbows like that (and even some of your pics trying to prove otherwise). I just don't understand where this is coming from, but I'll digress now.
  21. Hopefully it swivels on a peg like Revoltech because that would easily resolve the issue.
  22. But I haven’t heard that the joint rotates to allow the elbow armor to cover the arm. here the actual elbow joint is back front, but the armor to cover the elbow is to the side so I don’t know if that can be corrected
  23. Ooof. I dunno. It is tempting as it probably will never be cheaper than it is now. But I may see how fixable this thing is first...
