    Have you messed with super glue to build up those friction areas? I imagine once a pose is established I will leave it be for the most part.

    I just used a little extra paint into the joint there. Gloss works pretty good as well, but those methods will only work if it’s not played with too much
  4. Today

    An interesting topic - What do May'n sings at Karaoke? (2 pages) https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1747203003&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ranking_20250518_07&fbclid=IwY2xjawKWxk9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFpampSQ1cwdjFueW9oWVdGAR6ZnsjHh6l6R2deAl_GIPvzqbm1sDqqewWWkB0_3qkLoZmWF6M_JaDGWFRrmg_aem_TMqLyts_zLyC7YlcgrKt5A From Page 2. The Karaoke management announced that they have only 5 minutes left. Let's sing Phonic Nation! May'n loves her own song! XD A special collab with Animate stores

    This is for everyone planning to go to Japan in the future. The air line I took to Tokyo no longer issue the white form (Immigration) and yellow form (tax declaration) before they land. The forms are now at the airport. If your plane lands at close to midnight, it's going to be chaos! I see people frantically filling in the forms while lining up to clear customs. A better way is to go to this site : https://www.vjw.digital.go.jp/main/#/vjwplo001 Open an account. Fill in the details, scan your passport. Your current trip will be like a project. On your next trip you just start a new project - you don't hv to fill again details with regards to the passport. Once you submit, you'll get a QR code. A screen shot of the QR code is accepted by the immigration officer. Just do this as soon as you have your Flight No. and Hotel booking confirmed. Do you clear immigration faster? NO! You're still thrown together with those with the manual forms, just less PANIC.

    I've yet to see any of the AOTP Prime figs. My Wally has retro Gears, TFOne figs, a copy or two of Party Wallop, a copy or two of Armada Red Alert, one or two Bayformer figs and that's about it. I'm likely forgetting a fig or two, but since I've actually been considering picking up Alchemist Prime, and perhaps Prima (I dig the moon buggyish alt), I've been dismayed to find them MIA in the two Wallies I frequent the most. The wife and I are planning a trip to Target tomorrow so perhaps I'll have more luck there. They carry a better selection of LEGO as well, so win-win. I'm not certain when Earthspark Soundwave is releasing, but I'm down for that fgure as well. Neat alt mode, and for a Takara/Hasbro jetformer, it looks to be better executed than the majority of their efforts.

    I'm quite sure everyone is working hard, it's just that I only cover May'n, so It looked like she's really everywhere. Their income comes mainly from merchandise, so they really have to depend on fans buying her stuff. There is no specific concert open for foreigners. Just get the ticket and enjoy!

    Is there any other female JP singer as busy as her??? It seems like she's everywhere haha. And is this one open to foreigners? I'm not sure if I can get tickets to the Macross F live. The next opportunity for me to see her might be in AFA SG (if finances allow).

    I haven't seen much for TF figures lately. I see a very small trickle of AOTP, Red Alert and Prima mostly....did come across ONE and ONLY ONE Megatronus/Fallen. Everything else has been TFOne or slightly older product. Hell there's once again an over saturation of SS86 Bee again.

    Passed by Microcenter to pick up a new headset for one of the kids. They had 30 9070xt's for $699.00 that just came in. Walked around for a bit and by the time I circled back to the GPUs they were down to 19. Snagged one. I think I have a buyer for my 7900xt at $500. We'll see if it's worth a 200-ish upgrade.

    So it begins. I now have three kits in motion as I wait for paint to arrive for the previous two. Test fit went ok. Yeah this is going to need some extra TLC. I want to put some ball joints in hips for more stability. Maybe put some weight in the feet too? One of the more pressing issues are the arms and hatch. I need to figure out how to make the arm articulation tighter and rear hatch sit flush in the closed position. They just flop down and can’t support the weight. Not sure how to approach that.

    The lack of Glaug in those pictures is concerning to me.

    Full game !
  15. Angesdad started following DX VF-31J Super Siegfried (Hayate Immelmann Use) Revival Version
  16. Angesdad
    Being a latecomer to the party I seem to remember being real desperate trying to pick up a 31j super pack which was scarcely popping up on Mandarake and if you blinked, you’d miss it.😆 The tables have turned indeed, at least for Delta franchise.

    And to think there were folks denying that the tariff situation was going to affect our hobby. FWIW, I've gotten the majority of the G1 characters I wanted in the main line, so if they were to stop production, while it would sadden me greatly, I'd continue to draw joy from what I have. That said, there are still characters left to do: Windcharger, the rest of the Constructicons, the Omnibots (I wish!!!!), a better Seeker mold, a better Soundwave mold, a better Astrotrain and Blitzwing (with equally good alt modes), better cassettes (not much hope but I can still wish), the rest of the Constructicons, the rest of the Combaticons, perhaps a deluxe Powerglide, Animated Blackout (b/c the original toy is ludicrously priced on the aftermarket), and a voyager scaled FOC Prime, just to name my most wanted off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more (I'd love to see most of Animated redone, faithful to Derrick Wyatt's vision and not homogenized with G1), but I covered the basics. I'm sure, if Hasbro were to drop the toys, third party would step up to fill the CHUG scale void, but I'd still miss the official releases. Takara would likely keep it going for at least the Asian market, so there'd likely be an avenue there as well, albeit pricier again for all the tariff nonsense. Anyway, for now, it looks like we'll still get our plastic crack. It's an uneasy reprieve, however, from the sobering concern that Hasbro has already contemplated ending toy production, especially when TF fandom is still thriving.

    @Thom @Big s thanks! 😊

    Plus, Bandai just cannot get over the assumption that main characters are all anyone wants. That may be all that sells in Japan, but it's baffling how they don't even understand the value of the variety in the shows that they sponsored. The entire schtick of Delta was a squad of airshow craft, but they're too dense to comprehend the draw of completing the squad... or just too risk averse to consider producing anything that won't sell out as well as a main character, anyhow. Coupled with the never-ending reissues of Hayate, everyone's just sick of the same release. And of course, Bandai misreads the situation perfectly, interpreting the disinterest for the only release they think we should care about as apathy about the entire franchise, when all we really want is all of the other merchandise.

    May'n at Utopia fest in Shanghai! Azure Lane 8th Anniversary (new song - The Sea has Dreams). She learned some transforming magic herself...... https://ameblo.jp/mayn-blog/entry-12903939429.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawKWHPFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFOc3hGMW9mRXR3Nk5yaUVEAR5TcFLeHY0OIA05Q5OEVxsUYpo_sMO6eP4IijE9fDEF2v6QZYXKH6TRKeaD9Q_aem_72KIPeKc4XOLR-5ycLgZJQ

    I've not seen the latest yet (Monday night when I have time alone to just sit and enjoy) but so far his stories (except that Space Babies one) have been excellent across the board. I've not missed the classic villains (yet)
  23. Big s
    Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably check out as many builds of this as I can, just disappointed that I won’t be able to join in the fun
  24. Big s
    Chaotic will at least be better than emo
  25. Big s
    I gotta second that. My first build was embarrassing in comparison
  26. Big s
    If you look at the left arm it’s bending towards the bodya lot easier to see the elbows being covered in these pictures
  27. Chronocidal
    Weird, they actually just removed it? That feels dumb.. even if it is more accurate. Oh well, I cleaned off one to use with one of my first versions, so no real harm done, I'll just move it. Don't need more than one for a battroid display anyhow.
  28. Thom
    For a first build. I wouldn't mind having that on my shelf!
