    Makes you appreciate how easy strippers make it look in those high heels!

    It's still a head scratcher that Hot Toys would release this Wolverinepool figure. Hot Toys are turning into specialist for everything in between for IP's these days for better or worse. Thanks for the information.

    tekering Seriously, though... "Seats up to 3 fashion dolls." 🤨 Those Matchbox packaging designers must've been on crack back in the '80s. 🤪 It sounds like an overreach at best that the "fashion dolls" could stay seated for about 3 seconds before falling off in play. Somebody had to spot it! I like that top image of the hover cycle.

    By itself, that would be fine. But every few things I don't get on a whim, is savings for another thing I am dying to get lol On top of that, the books in general are another whole can of worms I'm trying really hard not to open. The master files in particular have been on the back of my mind forerver. If this one book fulfills all my needs of having a collection of art references for all the mainstream canon and the non animation semi canon variants and equipments, then I might consider this a good one off item to consider grabbing.

    Day 1 preordered. Love Eureka Seven. I like that it comes with the Renton and Eureka from that one iconic catch scene. When I saw Shoji Kawamori name attached to this, I was like that Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme. 😅

    The obsidian plastic was just the icing on the cake (of the "let them eat cake" variety). The mechanism in the knees does not work the same in both directions when twisting the lower legs. The knee has to be completely straight to do that safely, or you're asking for the knee mechanism to shear off. The fact that you can twist it from fighter to gerwalk with the knee bent is because the mechanism is sloppy, but doing the same in reverse can destroy it. Sorry to be a broken record, but I habitually repost this warning in any new 171 derivative thread to make sure new buyers catch it.

    This thing is tiny. I was expecting something bigger. It’s also kind of a pain to stand in Battroid mode.

    Run this stimulation in Solidworks during my office break time. Gonna use Ansys next round for much accurate results.

    Disappointed to see that GP02 didn’t make the list. I guess we won’t be seeing a (official) Ver Ka of that suit any time soon.

    It's far from expensive. About $37 from CD Japan.

    Now that I look at it some more, if they had its trailer mode bend the other way, they could have used the windshields as windshields, and hid the nose and feet inside the container. It could have been an actual truck. Kind of a missed opportunity there.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    jenius replied to GGemini's topic in Toys

    The cannon fodder added weak plastic to a bad design but the bad design could still lead to breaks if anyone forced it... Most of us used to handling these things will be able to avoid it... Still, stupid design.

    Well, so far, the revival is sturdy enough that I can revert those legs by prodding and feeling around without triggering an explodium chain reaction. Also, I think the explodium was limited to the cannon fodder's glitter packed black plastic not on the EX. If the granite speckle on these new joints are more homogeneous than they look, it should be fine.

    😂The classic everything you ever needed, after you need it. Didn't know such a delicious book existed. Now I gotta sit on the idea of getting a copy, but never actually doing it, because I need to spend what I can muster chasing after those toy releases lol

    Don't think he's literally trying to recreate a certain look of any specific version of the 25 there. He just borrowed his own transformation mechanism to make up a new thing for a quick april fools tie in to the collab. It literally says VF-18M Sound Hornet. Where the transformation isn't affected, he even came up with new things. The wings fold more like the Sv-51 and Draken. The sound pod looks like a fuel tank until it splits into a double speaker. The horizontal stabilizers aren't folded under an outer calf panel. The head is a period accurate to be similar to VF-19 variants. We can pretend it's new canon until something official refutes it lol. Anyway, if there's overwhelming demand for an F-14 collab, Bandai may as well finally take the excuse to make the DX VF-0. I'm fairly certain it was primarily invented exactly for the sake of having a VF-1 lookalike that can circumvent harmony gold bs.

    The F-14 variant as many know already had the Transformers/Top Gun crossover. Seeing a vf-25 head with the Maverick Helmet and wording is just odd. Maybe it will grow on me after I get over my initial shock of 'why?' https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformers/transformers-generations-collaborative-top-gun-maverick/

    I guess I should’ve looked at the rear view and at the seat, it does have a slight angle to it

    link here: https://twitter.com/kawamoriexpo/status/2039342534904905752 btw, wasn't the 25G that carried the speakers? as such, that FA-18 valk doodle doesn't quite look anything like a VF-25F, even if you squint hard. Bandai should've just made Kawamori's VF-18M a reality instead...

    I think you’re right about the exaggerated look. Had to try and find some pics from the actual show I think the bottom one shows it more boxy looking rather than angled while the line art isn’t nearly as angled as the painted version, it does look like they probably were just going for an odd perspective although the overhead does kind look angled very slightly and the pads appear slightly smaller at the closer they get to the top possibly suggesting a bit of a taper

    Or Admiral Kuznetsov. By all evidence that thing is even more cursed than the Kamchatka. Some might say the Admiral Kuznetsov is unsinkable... because a seemingly unending string of accidents, mechanical and electrical failures, and other calamities make it unlikely she'll ever leave drydock again.

    Was watching a guy on YouTube a week or two ago that would work on many toy lines and he has some interesting stories. He was talking about one of the classic style masters of the universe redos, and he said that they had to use the actual figure in some cases to redo molds that were either lost of destroyed. The figures mentioned ended up slightly smaller than the original since it was essentially a copy of a copy kind of thing. It was on the Spector Creative channel on YouTube, you may want to check out some of his videos, they deal more with toys than models, but as far as the molding process and problems it’s a very similar thing. Some of his videos are very informative about things but aren’t super long.
