    I think it's a good thing when 3rd party companies veer into more grounded designs: This 1/100 scale "GUS" is putting out serious Jesta vibes. And I do love me some Jestas.

    With about a month left before the "40th anniversary of Robotech" display I've planned for our annual modeling exhibit, I've still got to paint my 1:48 Regult, three 1:48 Destroids, four 1:48 Logans, and two 1:1400 SDF-1s... and dammit, I still can't tear myself away from the Mos Eisley cantina! Having completed the ceiling, I've been fine-tuning the lighting and figure placement... ...repainting Hasbro figures... ...and 3D-printing parts for characters that never got action figures. There are just so many more characters I want to complete, but I've got to put Star Wars aside and shift my focus back to Macross... 😓

    That was an absolute cluster. I hope other backers find their way towards Ramen Toys' Airwolf.

    Wondering if someone could make an add-on kit for this that corrects the chest issue (extend the sides a bit so they line up with the cab)? Perhaps 3D printing could help with that; I'll have to check Yeggi and see if anyone has addressed this yet.

    Think GBP, not fast packs. While this line is not something that interests me, I like the idea of armor variants like FEXT with their OWL.

    If they changed the nose they could've pretended it's the one from that godawful Robotech Remix comic. Y'know, the one Titan comics based off stolen Macross-inspired fan art? I doubt anyone involved is willing to spend the money to make a new comic. The last licensee didn't fare so well. Tough, but fair. It really isn't lovely, that's for sure. It almost feels like the lower half is in a different scale than the upper half... like someone took the body of a 1/72 and tried to graft 1/60 legs onto it.

    Let's Play A satirical exploration of the games industry and gaming culture based on the American webcomic by the same name. The story revolves around Samara Young, a recently graduated software engineer who dreams of becoming a game developer instead of taking over her father's software company. Her latest indie project, Ruminate, seems set for success when it gets review bombed into oblivion out of the blue by fans of a popular YouTube Let's Play reviewer who gave it a very negative review on his stream. Conveniently, that reviewer turns out to be the new tenant of the apartment next door which leads to her discovering an interest in romance and ending up the center of a love triangle between her boss and her new neighbor. The synopsis on Crunchyroll had me feeling a lot more positive about this series than I am now. This is pretty cringe, I'm not gonna lie. This is an American weeb from Kansas trying to write a cliche Japanese office romance and then set it in California because that's basically Japan, right? 🙃 The author of the webcomic wants to claim this is a realistic examination of gamer culture and office culture in the software/gaming industry. If so, I have to ask "On what planet?" It sure as **** ain't Earth. There are no less than six different incidents in this first episode that would have led to either career-ending HR complaints or multi-million dollar lawsuits for sexual harassment and workplace discrimination in the first episode alone. Most of them from the protagonist's own manager, come to that. (And I know I'm not being unfair about it because the protagonist AND her father both flag several of those as improper interactions.)

    Towa no Yuugure started and I really enjoyed the 1st episode.

    Me, Engineer, so probably on Eden, I could put my FTE back on to work at New Edwards.

    I'm blaming that unfortunate intro on Gunn. Thankfully he's not writer or director and it is based the Woman of Tomorrow Supergirl comic/graphic. I still need to read that...

    I’m pretty sure that the Batman baddie that looks like poo, but used to be a good lookin dude. If I remember correctly, he can temporarily mold his slop to look like someone else. Kinda one of those guys that has an extremely amazing artistic talent, but doesn’t rotate he could easily make of fortune as a sculpture artist, or in this case as the sculpture itself I don’t really know about this Supergirl, she seems like a total mess. Constantly partying and getting trashed and leaving her dog behind because she’s trash.

    I tried wiggling mine and they seem preeeety darn permanently attached. Scared to do any more force.

    It may be worth a thousand words, but they can all be summed up with EWWWW! looks like the legs are just falling off the sides

    Boy, I can't wait to see how terribly the arms and gunpod fit with the packs on. Pretty telling they didn't bother to mount it for the display.

    Solo Camping for Two (Second Cour) It's still a very poor ambassador for very hobby it's trying to promote. The writers finally decided to get off the dime and do some actual character development right at the end of the show's first cour, but it's all very flat, trite, and generic with no real emotional impact. The second cour does finally bring a vague hint of a sense of direction to the proceedings, as we learn that Gen's dream is... to own a campsite. He doesn't seem to be doing anything to work towards that dream, though. He's just sitting in front of his tent drinking cheap beer by the case until he dozes off. The series also seems to be taking the Eidos Interactive/Tomb Raider approach to the word "Camping", since apparently renting an AirBNB is "camping" by this show's standards. It's easy to see how they had the money to do a second cour... the animation quality is never better than mediocre and in more than a few shots looks like it was drawn by interns. It's pretty boring, mainly because the cast are completely flat characters. There are apparently FORTY-FIVE outdoor equipment companies cooperating with and/or sponsoring this mess, and it still wasn't enough to pay for actual writing or decent animation. A hard pass for anyone who's not looking for a sleep aid. A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai I yearn for an end to the tyranny of the isekai genre. It's 99% lazy, derivative slop. This one is firmly in the lazy and derivative slop category. Statistically average workaday desk jockey Kamishiro Takeru is bored with his statistically average workaday life. So much so that he apparently dies of nothing in particular while sitting in front of his apartment's TV and finds himself talking to a being that claims to be a god. Said "god" sticks him with your average isekai cheat powers and tosses him into a world called Madeus that the god just can't seem to get working correctly in the hopes that he'll fix it. The animation quality is pretty average. Predictably, it's the D- form letter isekai writing where this series really falls down. It's incredibly generic and just as incredibly boring. The only things about it that really stand out are that its protagonist seems to be too stupid to realize that all of the words to activate his magic are in English and that he seems to be a literal giant who's a full head taller than anyone around him. A hard pass for... well... I can't imagine anyone this isn't a hard pass for. Maybe someone who gets their jollies from a recording of Ben Stein unenthusiastically reading the phone book?

    Looks like the 1/1 Scopedog standing at Inaginaganuma Station has gotten a new paint scheme for the 5th. anniversary.... where is the pre-order for one? 🤗

    That is definitely one of the thousand words that came to my mind. Or maybe it was just that one word, a thousand times.

    They should have called it a VF-1XS or something and made up their own side history of it being an experimental line of "veritechs". How much does it cost to make a comic book? They could have included a comic with each release with a post rain of death story arch as new mechs were being developed.

    I am sorry that the Quality control is so bad on your copy of the trailer and Super Ginrai. I have not had the problems getting the panels on the leg to hold together. My copy spends most of its time asSuper ginrai or God Ginrai and I enjoy the set quite a lot. I did have to tighten the pegs on the extra shoulder armor for god Ginrai with a clear top coat (Pledge with FUTURE Shine). That said the QC in my Cab robot makes me unhappy. One of the little chrome tabs one one of my exhaust pipes was cracked out of the box and snapped off when I tried to transform it the first time. The other tab is still fine. I have not has as much trouble with the iegine popping off as some people. I do really dislike the hip joints. The hip dropping mechanism is always too loose, and the distance the legs spread going too the first detent on the hips spreads his legs too far to look good. I do think there could have been a better way to tuck the arms in better on the trailer, and i ordered the DNA design set for super Ginrai to see if it improves things.

    Now, I am no toy collector so please take this for an ignorant statement if it comes across as one... but that looks kind of... awful? I can understand sacrificing screen-accurate proportions to make a toy's transformation work but this looks like they didn't even try.

    I have been enjoying the show so far....but yeah, fans are just fed up with getting excited about shows then getting let down at the end....so far so good on the DC Gunn-verse, nothing groundbreaking, but not unwatchable either....just a fun distraction from all the stupidity IRL....
  27. jvmacross
    Looks like a kitbash done by someone who has never attempted one before.....
