I agree regarding the Toxic Rat. Especially the vandalism it did to SW and IJ. But, the Alita film wasn't a sounding success. And If One Piece was called something else and didn't bring it's goliath fanbase, it wouldn't have made it past the pilot episode.

Holy cow. Hope you have a safe recovery

There's also Teal 171, RVF version of it, the movie version of that with twin fold boosters on top of the wings that never got any physical rendition, and their armored packs with the reaction and dimensional bombs. Then theres Michael's tornado, and then we loop back to Durandal, which IMO was what technically kicked off the revival era with minor tweaks through the Max version, although that one wasn't called a revival since it's a new paint job. If I was Bandai and trolling, I'd go for that Konig next lmao. I feel like Luca still has reasonable chances as long as they haven't announce the Durandal to wrap up the Frontier run, but it will be without ghosts, or only 1 ghost but no super pack to chase that shrinkflation trend lol. And then to piss everyone off, they will do a micro run of 100 very floppy YF-24 Evolutions, sold through lottery, at very reasonable prices comparable to retail items of the same weight, and then scrap the molds. Gotta feed the scalper market after all lmao

Impeesa started following DX Chogokin VF-25 Revival Ver (WWM Releases)

For the 25 specifically? The way they've been doing Revival bundles, and with the different finish, some people are probably still hoping for new bundles for Ozma's Super, Alto's Armored, and Michael's Tornado. Unfortunately for me, I'm in the camp that's just starting my Frontier collection with the Revivals so all I really want is a full Luca bundle, so they'll probably randomly do another one of those first.

I've always had a thing for Ultra Magnus since my friend had one as a kid. The white Prime is what I was enamored by. Something about seeing Optimus in a totally different color blew my little mind. I've always been a sucker for repaints. I like the Delta Magnus coloring even more, and I assume they'll do him as well. But anyway, the MP Magnus toys don't include the separate cab bot mode, which is what I liked the most about the G1s. So hopefully the Missing Link versions don't have any weird concessions! I'm also really hoping for the Zs. And the Seekers, if they're even possible.- 17560 replies

I suppose the YF-25 Prophecy, though I'd be surprised.

The Rotten Rat getting its filthy mittens on Anime, more than likely to bestow its now-infamous brand of "tender loving care" upon it like they did with Star Wars and Marvel and Willow and Indiana Jones and many more, fills me with dread for this most-Japanese art form and story telling. By no means is this immediate distrust uniquely relegated to Disney; every American studio has had a terrible track record on this front, be it animation or live action: For every Alita or One Piece, there are dozens of examples of complete (on many levels) failures.

My guess is tht anyone below the c-suite level is fair game as far as expndability goes with W-Y. I also suspct that the entire franchise's point about corporatons and the military is that their policies tend to work against them when it comes o the xenmorphs. You cannt reason or bargain with them, and bullets aren';t enough. Then again: being stupid isnt a great tactic either.

Update: last night I ended burning my rght arm badly with hot oil (typing one handed rightnow so its a bit hrd. beginning to hate cooking. Until it heals, all projectsare on-hold.

That, in all fairness, has been SOP for the franchise since Aliens. Weyland-Yutani is an older and more established megacorp than Prodigy is and their immense wealth doesn't make them any more careful when it comes to the lives of employees. The one time someone actually tries to exercise proper safety protocols is the original Alien, and Ripley gets overruled on that by Ash because he's got orders to bring the alien back no matter what.

Yeah I also have plenty of kits in my stash, but some of the items in the private warehouse are calling to me. Time will tell.

Is there anything left for Bandai to do a Revival release besides Luca? The generic cannon fodder VF-25? The only other toys I can think of are the Quarter and the Konig.
-
Yeah, I mean, I at least like to think they aren't intentionally malicious with their teases. I can't even begin to pretend I understand the logic that governs their releases, and I can't say I know enough about gundams one way or another to guess why they behave the way they do, but their behavior with models at least seems a little more flexible? I'm surprised we got Gamlin's VF-22 at all, but maybe they were gauging reaction before they committed to the M&Ms. With the DX releases though, I'm firmly convinced they have their investments min-maxed to an obscene level, since they seem to have next to no interest to revisiting anything they don't think will sell well. With Luca, I cannot really blame them one bit for ignoring him (kind of like the Frontier movies did). I don't think anyone was clamoring for more from his character in any of the Frontier media. I would also not be even slightly surprised if Bandai collected export numbers for every release, and if the distribution between foreign and domestic purchases reached a certain point, they might make the assumption that everyone in the foreign market who wanted him probably already got him. Like imagine if they tracked the stock from the original release, and found that more foreign purchases were made than domestic. While that might point toward more of a foreign demand, it also means they'd probably be struggling to make back anything locally, and would be losing a lot to export expenses.

M'Kyuun replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't intend to get it as I'm quite satisfied with SS86 UM (one of their best efforts IMHO); however, I'm curious to see how they accomplish this given the nature of the G1 toy and their efforts to maintain the G1 toy aesthetics amidst the upgrades to articulation. I'm thinking this fig will have more concessions to affect a functional bot mode than we've previously seen in this line. I wish they'd do the Fairlady Z bros and Megatron, as I'd love an articulated form of G1 Prowl to replace the one that I tried unsuccessfully to modify as a kid, and I've always had a soft spot for G1 Megs but never owned the OG toy. ML versions of both would be welcome.- 17560 replies

I just watched all 3 episodes and well.. i like the visuals, concepts and world building and the heavy metal is a bonus, i'm now looking forward to what we get to hear next. But wow, some of the character writing is just not good. Clearly there isn't enough knowledge on real military and lab protocols here. Especially for such a high dollar outfit like what Prodigy is supposed to be. There's such a lack of caution , fail safe and common sense running around..

There’s actually a thread somewhere for it, but I never see it. Personally I think a lot of us just see things like that here or in the model section whenever someone posts it in random threads more often than its dedicated thread. Unfortunately things are very complicated for toy collectors and model builders since the majority of our favorite things come from countries that are affected. At least HLJ is ok with holding our stuff in the Private Warehouse, but then there’s the question of how long is this situation gonna last? Will it be months or even years? Things had already been going up in prices and now these new tariffs are probably gonna pump up the prices even more. But hopefully this will kinda blow over soon and things can get back to normal. I got a big backlog already and when my stuff over there finally gets shipped, I’m gonna have an instant backlog boost
