    I think, when KC did a renewed push last year on the GBP that included free base valk (the first ‘upgrade’ he’s referring to), response must have been quite tepid. If I’m reading correctly, it now sounds like there will be a v3 VF-1 with more metal. Hopefully it finally solves all the shortcomings of the current mold.

    The Legioss is listed as being 8.75 m tall in robot mode and 10.25 m long in fighter. At 1/60 scale that would be about 14.6 cm and 17.1 cm respectively.

    They block the intakes in fighter mode right? What's funny is, if they were just mounted under the intakes, they'd still be facing forward in armo soldier mode anyway, without further complicating the transformation.

    I like the shoulder cannons.

    It’s his reply to one of the questions in that FB post.

    DX VF-27 Revival

    Raikkonen replied to borgified's topic in Toys

    Only noticed now it has a similar head to the Eva Mark 6...

    I've never been a toy car collector, so my familiarity with most Hot Wheels and Matchbox is minimal, but I still have my copy of the M-8 Rescue Vehicle and I wouldn't mind a TF version of that. They've both done any number of beautiful sports and concept-like cars over the decades and some of those would be cool as well. The two current HW crossovers don't really do much for me (not into hot rods, and while the blue guy is better, it still doesn't grab me like some other car designs would). Prowl's one of my all-time favorite TF designs- I love the way he looks. He was also my first TF toy, so there's some nostalgia there as well. That said, I passed on "Dead Prowl", all the dead SS characters for that matter, as that's not how I want to see or remember them. If they do a slight retool of the ER, if for no other reason than to give him accurate spoiler-less feet, I'll likely pick that up. I 'm rather skeptical of a situation where a retail Unicron, done as a titan or perhaps a new larger size/budget class, could or would turn out better in any way than the Haslab, which itself is just a huge shell-former, virtually devoid of any noteworthy engineering. However, if Takara ever wants to make a hatching-egg toy, they've already laid the groundwork. I wish, for the price, that it had been closer to what Studio Cell did with their take, and given the choice again, I think I'd have passed on the Haslab in lieu of the Studio Cell. At this point, I don't think there's even a question of whether the designers like Mark and Evan are devoted fans; it comes through loud and clear, and it's one of the major reasons why I think putting them front and center in these fanstreams is such good PR for Hasbro. Moreover, it makes them feel approachable and also softens the blow a little when the toys aren't quite up to fans' expectations. At least we get a little explanation of why and how various decisions were made, how the budget affected those choices, and other background regarding the process of making a toy. I'd love to hear the metrics, as I'm curious how much of an impact doing these streams has had on sales. At the very least, I very much doubt it's hurt them. Anyway, I too respect that they're trying to put out what fans want, that they listen to the fans, and that they labor under limitations that most of us are unaware of to try and bring those wants and desires to the fandom (and the three kids below twenty who know that G1 exists and buy the toys). Product exclusivity sucks. I get why, but it sucks nonetheless.

    Check their front page if the shipping delays are still ongoing. Their busy revamping their warehouse and my last order earlier in the month sat there for over 2 weeks before it could be shipped out.

    Much appreciated Steve, but by the time I read this, I had already done most of the work in masking tape: Had to do quite a bit of research on this one, as the colors looked gunmetal grey in parts of ST:TMP. I found color pics of the filming model here though: https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/4487-polar-lights-model-kits-ktinga-the-colors-man-the-colors-pt-1/ and https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/4500-polar-lights-model-kits-ktinga-the-colors-man-the-colors-pt-2/ I still have several small details to add in; those are ongoing, as is the installation of windows (not 11, thank heaven!). Stay tuned...

    Well what's another year. My initial Heavy Armor order was only 4.5 years ago
  13. Today
  14. jvmacross
    I guess saying the delay is due to "wanting to deliver something better" than originally offered sounds way better than saying....
  15. Bolt
    Same here. It's time to empty out my private warehouse. Gonna be a large box..

    I’m more of a Waterboy fan myself (just because it’s fun watching guys get absolutely destroyed on clean hard tackles). But OG Happy is right up there.

    I think the last one is going to Earth, somehow. There's already a clip in this new one that looks like Sully gets taken in and brought to Earth as a war criminal or something, that may even be the ending and the last film is the Na'vi commandeering a big ass ship and taking the fight to Earth.
  18. Tking22
    Yeah it reminded me of the XFL, bigger, dumber, less actual athletic ability, lots of flash lol.
  19. TangledThorns
    Dang, I think you just spoiled the sequels. lol. But yeah, I expect space or something in the sequels. Eventually this will have to come to a conclusion or they are going to milk Pandora till it has a Starbucks in every tree.

    I no nothing about Golf so I thought Maxi Golf was a play on the stupid EXTREME fad of the 1990s.

    Happy Gilmore is my favorite of Sandler's films. HG2 isn't on that level, but it's probably the best film he's done in 20 years.

    Thank you @wm cheng for the lesson in perseverance! The VT-1 looks great! The canopy is crystal clear. You'd never know there was a huge moldline there. The paint job looks amazing. 10/10 After all these years you're still the master model builder around here!

    Got notification from HLJ that mine has been charged and is in my private warehouse. So it's officially out now.
  24. Mog
    Yeah, add me to the “Liked Happy Gilmore 2” crowd. It’s a little saccharine and cheesy. But wound up getting a bunch of laughs out of me. I died with the “more age appropriate” happy place montage, the Arnold Palmer joke, and Stephen A.’s ridiculously asinine hot-take. Yeah, ton of cameos and nostalgia bait. And I’m wondering if that Maxi Golf thing is a swipe at the LIV vs PGA golf stuff. But kinda fun to see John Daly, Haley Joel Osment, and Bad Bunny (of all people) making good contributions to the film.

    Oh, I am definitely feeling some resistance towards the colors and the face. 😁
