  3. There's always Cobi if you need something cheaper. They're a great display piece if remove the pilots.
  4. I’m still more of a mostly airbrush person these days, but Lacquer hand brushing is all the rage with the Machinen Krieger guys. It’s wild to watch how it works. Paint on Plastic YouTube channel gets into it a lot and the guy running the channel worked with a lot of the big names involved and has many studio pics in books and magazines
  5. They should do that with all releases....
  6. Sounds like that speech from RDJ in Tropic Thunder
  7. Why is every company seemingly allergic to War Machine Mk I?
  8. Yesterday
  9. Brick Veteran's 1st Phantom set is going to be a gorgeous example of a USN F-4J, and here I am with a depleted play money budget:
  10. Agree. Has/Tak did good with these two. Ah, so. Ever new avenues to part us from our filthy lucre! Like a hungry fish, I keep biting. As I mentioned previously, I think ER Prime scales nicely with the rest of the Autobots, at least with all the first season bots. His truck mode is relatively small, but in bot mode I think he scales well. I hadn't actually given much thought to the whole resizing aspect beyond SS86 Megatron to match Prime, but yeah, I suppose any number of them will have to be upscaled slightly to fit the new SS86 scale. To that end, I wonder how much larger the new Seeker will be? I'm actually looking forward to it despite the fact that the nose section, as usual, is truncated vertically, it has no main landing gear at all, and the horizontal stabs need be parts-formed to the backs of the wings for cleaner legs instead of an engineering solution. They're touting it as a mini-masterpiece, but IMHO, it falls a bit short of th...wait, MP-52- nope, right on brand. As to varying size adjustments, I hadn't noticed them, but I trust your observations. The toys have been shrinking somewhat over the years, so maybe they're trying to reverse that trend. I really insist on G1 Megatron's having a gun mode, but I know it's a situation beyond Hasbro's control and as compromises go, this one is acceptable. It would have been cool if Romulus scaled to SS86 Prime, but just like the rest of us, they had no idea that Has/Tak were going to upscale him. I keep hoping that Magic Square will upscale their Doomsday, IMHO, the best G1 Megatron toy ever made. I think they'd make bank if they upscaled to both SS86 and MP scales with that figure. I'd be down for both. According to the TF Wiki, Octane is supposedly inspired by the Boeing 767, but it could be a 737 variant as well. At any rate, it's not a 747, so notably smaller than the shuttle. One of the greatest detriments of triple changers is the oft extreme disparities in sizes of the two alt modes, with Broadside being the worst offender by far, followed by Astrotrain, Octane, Blitzwing, Sandstorm, and finally Springer, whose Cybertronian modes offer more leeway than the aforementioned T-changers with Earth alts. Anyway, Octane would be better served if they chose a small air refueling plane; unfortunately, the smallest US tanker is the C-130 which is much larger than a tanker truck. The P-3 Orion Firefighter is much closer to tanker truck dimensions, even if it traffics in fire suppressant instead of jet fuel, but I'd accept it as a comparably sized plane alt for Octane.
  11. I'm sure if you yank hard enough, you can have that version for free.
  12. They need a post-fight version of Anikan...
  13. Assembly almost complete. Main structures are now locked into the main fuselage. Now I need to remove some large seams on both sides and then get back to painting. Looks so silly standing up like a dolphin. 🐬
  14. I wondered if they'll do this one LOL
  15. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I have a lot that needs shipping. So it's either rush to ship everything now, which will for sure cost a ton to ship everything at once, or sit it out and see how things go, let some stuff rest in the private warehouse, and risk having to pay even more with tariffs factored in when I finally DO ship.
  16. Still trying to wrap my head around Yamashita's crazy shapes.
  17. Iron Man Mark VI Battle Damaged.
