    I say get it for the nostalgic boxart! But seriously, the size does not justify the current prices, especially if you take tekering's offer into account. It is a good kit of the subject, though.

    Maybe, but still doesn’t explain the big boob job

    For some reason I don’t remember it having the gunpod, my bad memory I guess.

    Would have so much rather have had a sequel to Legacy!

    Your communication is very clear, but you're responding to the wrong post. 😉 My response to @Big s was intended to illustrate that Hikaru's Armored Valkyrie is shown holding a gunpod... in every single shot, actually. 😅

    Hi. I know this is an old thread but, has anyone here built one of these? I have one but can't figure out the transformation properly.

    I am so far behind in this series.. its a advertisement for camping equipment with some take away value for camping tips.. If its as you say then I am just bailing on it now. Am I missing anything this season.. any sleepers?

    If you want a vintage "Starfighter" model by Christmas, eBay might be your only recourse... If, however, you want an accurate Thunder fighter that's larger, more detailed, and easier to assemble and paint, there are superior 3D-printed versions that would probably cost you less (especially if you had a fellow forum member print it for you). 😉

    I must not be properly communicating somehow. We're talking about translating a cartoon into something physical. Roadrunner can paint a tunnel on the side of a mountain and run through the painted tunnel, only for Wiley Coyote to faceplant into the rocks a moment later. That's how animation works, because it's not tangible. The real world doesn't work like that. Look at those hamfists and look at what your model Hasegawa gunpod looks like. You can't shove a basketball into a can of Pringles, but a cartoon character can. So if Hasegawa was to make their model with those big hamfists, they would not be able to reuse the same pre-existing tooling for the gunpod. They'd have to retool it to include a jibungous hole for it to put its big fat finger through. Like picking your nose with a baseball bat. You can't do that unless you're a cartoon. Notice that even Max Factory did not make the hands as big as the drawing's. I'm just saying that Hasegawa is going for more practical rather than stylized. Even then, compromises are still made. The wings on their Battroid are smaller than those on the Fighter. It's why transforming models/toys of these mecha will never be totally accurate in any one given configuration. The Valkyrie's jet engine nacelles suddenly get beefier and more rounded when in Battroid mode in the animation because they are drawn that way. Hasegawa chose not to go that route and instead made the legs more or less compatible with the corresponding parts of the Fighter mode. Look at how Shoji Kawamori designed Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoon. Heck, any of the Transformers. The Autobots' tires get really small (or disappear entirely). Not because it's practical, but because they just kind of look cooler that way when animated.

    Figured I save you some headache. I'd be more interested in a S2 if....

    Is it wrong I'm SERIOUSLY considering forking over some $$$ for a sealed original Monogram 1/35 Starfighter model off Evilbay for a Christmas present to myself in honor of Gil??? Not many left out there, soooo wish a modern GOOD model company would make a new one!!!
  26. tekering
    To what series are you referring? 🤔

    Also a quick note! Although the instruction Manual for the X-ATH-P-RSC Bloodsucker doesn't mention it, The unit also has an A-hole to be able to be mounted on a stand...
