  1. Today
  2. Sorry to say but that doesn't look very good. This is supposed to be a movie for the big screen. Why does all the production value look like it straight from Disney Plus? Movies are meant to be cinematic in appearance. This isn't that. Half the trailer is baby Yoda doing cute things. This tells me the target audience for this movie is really young. Why spend money at the theater for the whole family on what looks like a normal episode of the show?
  3. Back when I first unboxed the 262Hs.. I like its rather compact Gerwalk mode.
  4. Watched "The Brutalist" last night and it went straight to the top of my Epic Twist movie list 😳
  5. It looks ok, although I'm not crazy about the plainness or lack of paint apps to replicate the toy's sticker details. And yeah, the cassettes have some notable flaws. I'm feeling the opposite the more I compare the two. I like SS86's proportions, with his meatier arms and overall bulk, as well as the lack of superfluous arm kibble that unfortunately bled over from the terrible Siege Soundwave to his Netflix version. However, I don't care for his thinner feet or their visible hinges; they look better on the Netflix figure, IMHO. Too, as I mentioned above, toon-slavish plainness is not my preferred look; I want details on my robot toys, especially when they're retailing for $60. Finally, they just can't seem to make very good cassettes at this smaller scale. I wish they'd never moved away from the OG real micro-cassette scale, as then they'd have more real estate to work with and they'd all be compatible across CHUG and MP toys. For my money, the OG cassettes, flatness notwithstanding, just did a better job of realizing both cassette and bot modes than these smaller scaled ones. At least the animal modes were better captured. KFC proved, too, with his latest Ramhorn and Steeljaw cassetttes that more realistic, non-flat animal modes that actually look like the animals they're supposed to be is possible. Kudos, too, to FansToys for their Ravage, which IMHO, Ravage being my favorite of the cassette minions, is the best executed version of him in the OG scale right after the one that came with Universe Hound and then the OG. The best Ravage overall goes to MMC, but of course, he's upscaled to a regular cassette which gave them a lot more real estate to work with.
  6. I am making my kids go see this! LOL On a side note, Disney should make a movie based on the ANDOR series 🤣
  7. Friendly reminder I've messaged you back, @jenius
  8. @GMKThanks for sharing. I see the same construction as the earlier versions. Unfortunately all appendages have seams bisecting them. The alignment was good on the DYRL version. Clean up was no big deal with a little puttyl. Looks like the same on this.
  9. Awesome work @Perxion!
  10. Mekanimuss, Take your time, these kits will be worth the wait. Thank you for putting this together and I look forward to my extra additions. MB
  11. When Mr. K mentioned no air-conditioning in the earlier tweet above, I guess it's not the only AC he's referring to.

    ^^ A very slick art of the 19P from this angle.

    Macross figures

    The Minmay figure is looking pretty good, and the face sculpt seems able to capture Mikimoto's modern drawings of her quite well.

  15. I think it was the music and cars. A lot of clubs had people dressed that way out here in ca near the beaches, not sure if they were mimicking the show or the other way around either. The hair was also pretty common.
  16. Yeah, those look great. Looks like you don’t need to do much at all to give it the basic appearance from the show
  17. Hasegawa has released pics of the unpainted, assembled kit.
  18. MV was very influential in terms of visual storytelling IMO, still valid today. Some sequences are burned into my mind.
  19. METAL BUILD Force Impulse Gundam 『PREMIUM BANDAI FESTIVAL 2025』開催にあわせ、注目アイテムの「CLUB TAMASHII MEMBERS 優先販売」が実施決定! スカイステージ以上対象の優先先着販売と、全会員対象の抽選販売を予定。 In conjunction with the "PREMIUM BANDAI FESTIVAL 2025," a "CLUB TAMASHII MEMBERS Priority Sales" of popular items will be held! Priority sales will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for Sky Stage and above, and a lottery sale will be open to all members.
  20. MV was pretty influential back then, though am not sure to the extent of what parts of pop culture drove it or vice versa. i was still in my younger teens, but the thing i do remember vividly annoyance/pre-occupation with sockless footwear...
