This would be the wrong thread for that since it only covers the Bandai DX (VF-1) 1/48 Series and not the VF-19....
- Today
-
With the preorder being scheduled for tomorrow October 1st, do we have a time slot for the preorder? Is it 5pm JST?
-
Was there a release of the VF-19P in 1/60 from Bandai? I seem to have missed that announcement and don't see any news on it.

^^An Egyptian-headed Valk with a delicious Irish stout! 😅

My VF-27 Revival will likely stay permanently in Fighter mode, so no plans to check the shoulders on mine.😅
-
I agree.

Drunken pose is still a pose!

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

Official solicitation pics, pre-orders to follow. Edit: For those who have much deeper spending habits (like Justin and to show off his collection so that everyone can go Gaga over his dolly collection). -
These guys went up for preorder at the usual spots along with Evil. Axe and Dagger are a two pack

I knew which miller you were talking about, I tend to confuse names as well

I think the 171 was always supposed to have the single port, but it moved up to the top of edge of the shoulder plate in fighter mode, since the shoulders were compressed so much. Man.. I went looking for scenes in Frontier where they might have used those ports, but got sucked into just watching a bunch of episodes. Time for a rewatch, clearly.

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
Mog replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So, I wound up getting a few more 25th Joes: The last major ARAH female Joe I was still missing; and The more “realistic”/military-colored Blowtorch. Darkened the tip of Blowtorch’s flamethrower just a little bit. But yeah, elbow articulation on the figure is definitely limited due to the sculpt. Damn near impossible to do any good two-handed poses. Jinx, on the other hand? Very easy to pose out.

Crap. I meant to say George Miller, not Frank Miller. I always get those two mixed up. 😄

Is Yukikaze on any streaming service?

You had me going there...

Somewhat pose.

It's not just Hasegawa, but rather an industry standard. I worked at Aoshima for about 8 months, 9 years ago. I was introduced to a lot of that sort of strategy. Look at their Knight Rider KITT models or their Back to the Future Delorean models. They've issued many variants of these two cars alone. Season 1, 2, 3, and 4 for KITT, then the same molds released as a pre-painted KARR, some with the LED front scanners. The Delorean had models of all three versions (actually, there were four versions since the 3rd movie had both the white-rimmed '50s tires version and the train track version). Some with figures, some with photoetch. And they've re-released an all-new tooling of the Delorean, and made it so that a stand-alone, non-time machine Delorean kit could be released (making many happy). Bandai does the same thing, as does pretty much every other model company. My Academy F-14A Tomcat "Pukin' Dogs" kit has variant parts to make the B and the D, it seems. Just re-release the same kit with decals for a different livery and there you go. It's why you get unused, leftover parts on the runners with the kits you build. The mold toolings are the costliest investment, so if you can release different kits using little or no new toolings, you can maximize your profit. At Aoshima, we were hoping to do an all-new tooling for the Mad Max Interceptor, and if we could've gotten the license then I'm sure it would've been retooled to make both the black Interceptor and regular yellow/blue pursuit cars, plus the modified version from the 2nd movie. Who knows? Maybe even a stand-alone Ford Falcon model car. Alas, I was given a definite "NO" from the movie studio. Frank Miller refuses to allow his works being licensed. He probably saw too many Jar Jar Binks pajamas and the whole nightmare of Star Wars licensing and refused to go down that route.

Thanks @Graham this is illustration is the cleanest image of the VF-17. esp. the underside of fighter, seeing how wide legs could be stored underneath...

Nichimo 1/200 Regult Tactical Pod Combo Pack
SteveTheFish replied to cfernandez's topic in Model kits
Nichmo re-released their 1:200 scale Macross kits about 25 years ago, but this time gave them stupid, monochrome stickers rather than decals as they did before. I read the Japanese instructions and it's like they're telling you that they're doing you a favor because you get to now color those stickers as you wish. Very glossy stickers too. Ridiculous. They came with two in a package. I bought two Destroid sets off of YAJ only to discover that they came with those absurd, unusable stickers. They are to-scale with the Imai Monster that Bandai repops every once in a while. I'm very curious whatever happened to the toolings for those now that Nichmo is no more. -
My kid still watches the first movie and likes Springfield and The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios. Will most likely watch this movie for kids.

The Joker from Crisis. Superman from Zero Hour.

4 per case. Sweet.
