    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.

    Not ThreeZero... Thankfully.

    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....
  15. jvmacross
    Looks like a kitbash done by someone who has never attempted one before.....

    ThreeZero went down the toilet fast.....I blame the Trump tarrifs!

    How lazy can bandau get. It just a simple retool for those parts esp the feet and intake covers and they couldnt even spare the effort. Sighs. Am still hoping that the model shown in just a mock up and hope that bandai will surprise us

    Still planning to get the VF-1S and the VF-1A CF. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/328754

    Hey thanks. Looking at it again this morning I see more potential in it now. Just needs some dialing in like you mentioned.

    All I'm really looking forward to is Supergirl. Have no interest in Man of Tomorrow, and thanks for basically stealing Supergirl's movie title, or Clayface. (Who the heck is Clayface?!) Supergirl might be better without Gunn writing or directing it, but other than that... Batman II, really hoping the long gestation makes a great flick!

    Surprised there hasn’t been more chatter on this namely the last couple weeks. i was thinking how boring this season has been but they’ve been amping things up with 1 episode left.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Scyla replied to GGemini's topic in Toys

    To me, from the top view the major issues are the details on the upper intake covers, the incorrect feet and the shape of the wing lights. I think the feet are the most egregious inaccuracy for this view. There is a bunch of additional surface detail not on the VF-17 line art but I can explain this away by being an attribute of the DX style. The problem is that the details are a copy from the VF-171 and not new details for the VF-17. I assume, Bandai couldn’t have shortened the arms a bit more in fighter mode because of the underlying engineering. Since the preorders are not selling like hotcakes Bandai might revise the VF-17 but I doubt it.
  26. PointBlankSniper
    Honestly, the only thing glaringly inaccurate in fighter mode is that the elbow guns are far past the shoulder panel gap that it should have been in line with. And then the shoulder missile port(s) upon closer inspection. Otherwise, line art for fighter mode seems to have always had those leg proportions.
  27. PointBlankSniper
    It would be crazy if you mange to put together the mythical Evolution. I think there's a 3d file of the YF-24 on cults3D. Not sure if it helps with what you want to do.

    Assuming I somehow survive the AUN conflict, I don't get waxed by a stray heavy converging beam or collapsing house when Kuala Lumpur gets turned into a hole, and somehow don't starve to death, it'd be nice to move to the Moon?
