    I've said it before & stand by it, build some SV-51's and the VF-11 and milk that mold for all it's worth!

    I hope they fix LJN games

    I don't have any Pose+ products yet, but I have their Eta Legioss preordered and I can't wait to get that chunky thing in my mitts. From what I saw in their preview vid, it looks like they took all the lessons they could from Sentinel, and then tried to further improve on that already excellent toy by enlarging it, endowing it with far more ratcheting joints, adding all the opening panels and such, all the while increasing the playability/ease of handling. I hope they succeeded in that last regard, as the Sentinel can feel a little fragile and fiddly, especially monkeying with the hip positions. Too, mine is a first issue toy, so I have the super stiff shoulders that will barely raise to 90 degrees forward. I also ordered a Toyrise Omega, so one way or the other, I'm gonna have me a good-lookin' and playable Legioss toy this year. I'm not at all familiar with Zilliion or the Tri-Charger, so this thread kinda caught me by pleasant surprise, as I tend to dig on transformable motorcycles, which is ironic as I couldn't care less about motorcycles in general. I was curious whether this was another Aramaki design, but the Zillion Wiki gives mechanical design credit to a Studio "Ammonite", for whom I could find no info. Whether or not he had a hand in its design, I find Aramaki's Garland and Motoslave to be far more refined and better-looking designs than the Tri-Charger, which doesn't really hide the fact that it's a folded-up robot trying to masquerade as a bike. That said, I agree completely with your observation that Pose+ really knows how to adapt a human figure to a machine. I'd love to see them take a stab at the Motoslave, hopefully improving on the old Yamato, which itself still stands as the best, if only, toy of that design. Like the Legioss, I've long been enamored with the Motoslave, and I only ever managed to grab Yamato's Linna and her green Motoslave. I could use a proper Priss and her ride. I'm thinking Pose+ could execute a really good Garland as well, although I'm quite pleased with my Arcadia Proto-Garland. However, where Arcadia chintzed and only put half of Shogo in the Slave mode, I'm thinking Pose+ could figure out a way to put the entire fig in there and still have it transform around him, which would be awesome. Harkening back to some of those convention pics, Pose+ is making Triple Jim from Machine Robo, which interests me. I believe Action Toys had a prototype for him a few years back, but it never made it to production as they kinda closed shop on their MR stuff, more's the pity. By and large, I liked what they were doing with the license, and I have nearly all their MR figs. I wish they could have expanded the roster to the entire 600 series, as there were plenty of characters to choose from and I really wanted them to do as many of the aircraft figs as possible, especially Harrier Robo (Gobots' Royal-T). At least we got Blackbird Robo (snoop) and Eagle Robo (Leader-1). Anyway, Triple Jim seems an odd character to lead with, especially if they intend to do more Machine Robo figures, but I remain curious as to how he'll turn out. AFAIK, Triple Jim hasn't had a toy since Bandai's in 1986, which was pretty good for the time, albeit quite limited in articulation, especially below the waist, as most transforming toys of that era were. He's definitely due a proper update and the Pose+ is looking promising.

    I like the VF-19 Kai mold, it's a fun transformation just like the Yamato. It did seem like a few of the people who're NOT fond of it never purchased one.

    With the 19Kai done, a Macross Plus line alternating with Macross7 variants would be amazing. I was surprised to see how many people were against the 19Kai mold though.

    The only other VF should get a Hi Metal-R treatment is the VF-11, it never got too much attention, yet its transformation is not that difficult .

    SA-23E Starfury Aurora, SA-32A Starfury Thunderbolt, Narn Frazi Heavy Fighter, Minbari Nial Fighter... all would be nearly impossible to pass up, but a more manageable 1/32-1/35 would be preferable. From the B5 Tech Manual (even 1/35 would be huge): SA-23E - L 9.56m x W17.87m = 53.11cm x 99.28cm at 1/18, 27.31cm x 51.05cm at 1/35 -- 20.91" x 39.09" / 10.75" x 20.10" SA-32A - L 15.54m x W18.70 (airfoils deployed) = 86.33cm x 1.04m at 1/18, 44.40cm x 53.43cm at 1/35 -- 33.99" x 40.95" / 17.48" x 21.04" Frazi - L 15.80m x W (not given) = 87.78cm x (?) at 1/18, 45.14cm x (?) at 1/35 -- 34.56" x (?) / 17.77" x (?) Nial - L 22.00m x W (not given) = 1.22m x (?) at 1/18, 62.86cm x (?) at 1/35 -- 48.03" x (?) / 24.75" x (?)

    More Pics I guess one cool thing about the ingram plus is the stunn baton can now be a stun tonfa?
  12. Duymon
    And Bandai revives the robot tamashi side labor line for EZY. Honestly I hate it. It looks like the Ozempic ingram from the concept art. Totally getting the RG instead.

    Date night movie!!
  14. lechuck
    LOL, sort of the same. For me it's Impulse, Hi-Nu and GFFMC Wing Zero Cloak. But I don't really have any of them on pre-order, so I won't be hard pressed when release time comes along.
  15. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Is it too much to hope this is an indicator that Hasegawa will make kits based on mecha from the show like they did with Macross? Probably.

  17. F-ZeroOne
    Kind of weird how original design "Battletech" some of those mecha look. If it wasn't for the fact that manga predates it, I'd have said "Ideon" was an influence.
  18. Scyla
    Sigh, I wish Metal Build preorders and releases wouldn’t be so bundled. I had nothing for a while and now the Impulse Gundam, the special Hi-Nu one, the Barbatos add-on set and now this Strike Freedom… It seems like the deco of this Strike Freedom is similar than the one of the previous release but slightly changed and with more details added. Is there a comparison between this SF and the previous releases?
  19. Big s
    I was thinking the same. Not really caring too much about the figures since I feel like they were less adventurous characters, but the fighters and ships were cool. I do think B5 overall is still better than Star Trek, but I always think of Trek as always having some type of crazy action. BSG had even more of an action feel and I totally see why they’re making figures for it, but B5 was more politics and ship battles than hand to hand so definitely would be cooler to have ship and fighters. Personally would really like to see models of the fighters by a decent company
  20. Chronocidal
    Man, I don't need figures considering the scale, but I would love to see anyone tackle B5 ships in literally any format. Probably far too huge to be marketable, but a 1/18 Starfury would be insane to see. I keep hoping Master Replicas will announce a ship collection from that, there are just so many designs to pull from that series.
  21. sh9000
    Wow. Who made these?
  22. Big s
    Definitely hoping for 1/18, I really don’t know where to put a 1/6th Airwolf. Heck I don’t really know where to put a 1/18th one either, but I’d definitely find a way

    Oddly the red madder seems to be the one I actually see in stock most of the time. But those metallics and Gaia paints are a totally different story. Like you gotta bribe someone for those, and even then it doesn’t get to you right away

    One can dream... Japan is another planet. Run out of Creos Red Madder at 2AM? These guys got you covered!
