  2. Google image search is your friend...
  3. I've had this Lisa Hayes figure for some time now. I bought it at a street vendor where it was selling for 3 dollars. But I only just realized today that her outfit isn't canon. 😭 The "plastic" appears to be resin, her arms and legs can be removed, and her face can also be replaced (based on the slit I see in the middle of her head). What surprises me is how faithful the adaptation looks, and the paint is so good it has lasted so long without losing its color. Could someone tell me if it belongs to a Garage Kit-type toy box or something similar

  5. Today
  6. RIP Ozzy! I can imagine Ozzy and Randy Rhodes jammin out together up there!
  7. You've got a really bad texturing problem. I guess you are using a Tamiya primer rattle can. You need to sit it in a bowl of warm water to help the flow. Shake the can for a solid minute before spraying. Give it a shot and let us know if the results improve.
  8. Sorry the freezing idea didn't work out! When you do get the head apart though, if you dress the seam edges carefully with a needle file, it should lessen the visibility of the seam line when you reassemble it.
  9. Yeah, the first one's translation was weird so I couldn't make heads or tails of it and just ignored that statement. The rest of his tweets about it were neutral showcases so he didn't seem to say anything negative, other than that the molds are kinda old, iirc. But the second one alone can't be excused lol... Hope more impressions or reviews come out soon to clear things up.
  10. I’d love to hear the story on this beat club 1970 show. Some of the songs had very different lyrics, like Hand of Doom. Did they only have the outline written for those songs or did Ozzy just forget the lyrics? I know there are alternative versions on the demos, but wasn’t sure what was going on here.
  11. I ordered from Hobby Genki. I have not received any shipping notifications yet. So far, I haven't has any issues with them yet. Seems to be still available... https://hobby-genki.com/en/sentinel/43039-riobot-armored-genesis-climber-mospeada-148-ab-01h-tread-4571335880835.html I do not know what the final shipping costs will be with everything going on. I guess we will all find out when we find out.
  12. I wonder if this is related to the new "de minimis shipping" rules. You can skip to 5:30 mark. I don't know how this is going to effect future purchases from Japan.

  15. Model kits have come a long way, even compared to the Bandai VF-1. But I still prefer non transforming kits. Most of my Gundam just seem to have lasted longer than most of my toys, probably due to lighter weight and simpler construction
  16. I'm like 75% with you. If we have a G1 version already, like Arcee, Prowl, Optimus, Bumblebee, etc, I really don't want a G1-ified version of a Prime or Animated character, and I don't think fans of Prime or Animated who have been waiting 15+ years for modern updates want that either. That said, there are cases where characters from other continuities don't really have G1 analogs, like Bulkhead or Knockout from Prime or Blackout and Barricade from the Bayverse, where I kind of wish that there was a G1 version and I don't mind the G1-ification. Honestly, I agree, and it's possible that 2026 Ratchet will be an entirely new mold. I'm just spitballing. I think the alt mode makes for a good Bulkhead, but the bot mode less so (to be fair, though, that's arguably a step up from Legacy Bulkhead). I do wonder, though, if the leak for an Animated Ratchet is actually supposed to be a Prime Ratchet. Swap the Lenses with knives, put on a new head and chest, maybe new shoulders, and you're definitely in the ballpark.
  17. I fence sat on Alchemist too long before he was sold out on Pulse and I've yet to see any of the Primes in a store. Anyway, I wouldn't mind a repaint of this guy, but IMHO Animated Ratchet isn't a good fit as neither mode, nor the transformation, is right for the character as he appeared in the show or as the OG toy appeared. I have the OG toy, and honestly, I think an extensive retool/repaint of WfC Earthrise Trailbreaker would be a far better choice. I contend however, though the transformation is GREATLY simplified from the OG toys, that Alchemist would make for an excellent Prime Bulkhead. I know they already released a Legacy Prime Bulkhead, but that toy in nearly every regard shared far more similarities with Animated Bulkhead than the Prime version. All things being equal, they could just release this guy with a retooled chest and a new head and market him as Animated Bulkhead, at which point I'd consider him my modern Prime Bulkhead fig. Honestly, I wish they'd abandon the necessity of homogenizing every non-G1 look with G1 attributes. The distinctive looks are what set them apart from every other series and I wish Hasbro would honor that. Moreover, I find the very different looks of both Prime and Animated appealing and I'd rather the toys adhere faithfully to those looks without trying to pigeonhole everything into one big G1 melting pot when the original intent for Animated and Prime was to distinguish them from G1 and other series. That same mindset should inform the toys as well.
  18. I am SO loving this!
  19. Yes, I remember the earlier post now. Thanks for jogging my memory. I'm just not a big fan of models/kits. Has something to do with their heft and tolerances. My very first VF-1 was a model kit and it turned out to be a floppy mess. Instead of addressing its inadequacies, I tossed it.
