    Thanks for that description! I've also designed my own transforming jet fighters*, so it's neat seeing the similarities in our workflows. That going back and forth and refining the design as we do basic and test assemblies is a pain in the butt, isn't it? 😅 For step (5), I refer to that as "making it look cool." (cool being a combination of making it look like it could actually fly [refining the aerodynamic features, etc.], and artistic polish that makes a design pop.) * https://www.deviantart.com/studiootaking/art/CFs-Generation-3a-Master-File-Chronicle-767383491

    I'd say it's worth a view—even if it's just to see a "what if Kawamori-san wasn't in charge of Macross". If memory serves, there is a massive drop off in animation quality in the last episode.

    From the descriptions*, it sounds like the show runners are having their cake and eating it, too: they want an academy setting with cadets, but also want to do the standard Star Trek ship-doing-space-adventures. I'm not saying it's impossible (DS9 pulled off something similar), but from the sounds of things, this show's writers haven't figured out how to do it. * stopped watching nu-Trek at the end of the second season of Discovery, so my impressions may be biased...

    It's also listed as a VF-1C in a few books...and if you take a look at the old ARII(or was it Imai?) 1/100 Gerwalk kit....the head pieces look suspiciously like those depicted for the "VF-1C"...perhaps they produced the kit mold before BW made the decision that there would only be an S, J, A and D....

    I never had the honor of seeing this one in a theater: Wish I did.

    Wow, that's a big price drop!

    Watching the movie FALL on Netflix, if you have a fear and anxiety of heights, this movie turns it up to 11!!!

    Interesting that they used that head for the 1D

    Holodeck malfunctions, at least, don't require the crew to go and waste time making expensive, idiotic, and entirely unnecessary concessions to a bloodthirsty space pirate to resolve. When the safeties do go out, the program still doesn't go off the rails. The only hazards that exist are those that were already native to the program and simply being NERF'd by the holodeck safeties. Simulating the Miyazaki salvage operation would not have put the cadets in danger of being violently murdered by space pirates unless someone had deliberately programmed in a group of murderously violent space pirates. Otherwise, the only safety risks might be asphyxiating in the event of a hull breach or injury in the event that they had one of Star Trek's trademark exploding consoles. (If you didn't want the students to know they were in a simulation, all you'd need to do is beam them into the simulator from the ship.) "Come, Let's Away" was the story of a completely preventable disaster that resulted in the deaths of a cadet, an Academy instructor, and an unknown but implicitly large number of other Starfleet personnel aboard the USS Sargasso and Starbase J19-Alpha because the Academy chancellors decided to do this training exercise for their first year cadets in the most irresponsible and unsafe manner imaginable. Not only in uncontrolled conditions aboard a derelict ship, but in unsecured contested space no less.

    The more I see it, the more it reminds me of Murderface just a little less fuzzy

    1/55's revisited

    Shawn replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    I don't ever remember seeing the packaging for that one, actually looks like they spent some time on it. Space Castle...super endless transformations, neat What is Space Castle #1? Then the obvious, is there #3 and more?

    That’s the issue with Justin.. He will brag about anything about how Hot Toys is great and skip over any criticisms/flaws if there is any and give bantha podo comments about Sideshow, shills and sings about Pop Collectables (and formerly Toys Wonderscam as well) about the privilege of being connected to him to supply his 1/6 crack habits. Name one famous 1/6th collector out there and Justin will be highly on that list. A fair chunk of 1/6 collectors do not approve of him (including his other fellow shillers).

    I would say it's definitely worth the time because it doesn't take much time at all... It's movie length.

    My first official contact with Doctor Who; until then I had only seen and referenced it in materials like the RPG All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
  17. Papa Rat
    Hahahaha. And I like her too. What’s going on? Nah we are very silly laidback people and she is so thoughtful. That being said, she’s actually a bit sassy for a 80year old. Swears like a sailor and doesn’t take *%#<%#*^%% from nobody. Hahahaha

    A mother-in-law who likes you?! Doing something right @Papa Rat!

    Hmm, not of fan of either Italeri or Revell... maybe I should just wait.

    VF-1D fighter turned up this week, up to PLAMAX’s usual high standards.
  23. electric indigo
    There's the Italeri kit (which is reboxed for several other brands, including Tamiya) and a Revell one, and both are ...not Hasegawa. By the way, Matchbox managed to rush out their Alpha Jet kit before the first flight of the real thing. I was molded after the full scale Dornier mockup, so it only roughly resembles the actual Alpha Jet. I won't apply the mockup scheme, but someting related to ...Canada 😄

    True re: when the funds leave my account, but I have enough financial discipline - just barely enough - to account for the future charge today. So I feel it but don’t yet have anything to show for it. 😅
  25. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Thanks for that, I didn't know Pulse would sell em - snagged a Blackout.
  26. mikeszekely
    But Pulse doesn't charge your card until they ship, so you won't fee the Overgear stuff until December... when you're trying to buy Christmas presents. I just went it for a single Blackout. Until/unless he gets a G1-ified Generations version, Overgear Blackout will be my stand-in. I'll definitely go in on Prime, too, but I just don't care enough about Ironhide.
  27. F-ZeroOne
    That movie sits in a really weird spot for "Doctor Who". The eighth Doctor played quite an important part, I guess, in establishing how the later series would handle things (through all the various spin-off media) but the actual movie itself seems to get even less attention than the ones with Peter Cushing!
  28. Chronocidal
    Yeesh.. Razor's Crest is okay.. still waiting on them to complete half of the other iconic ships. Would really love to see a shuttle... tie bomber... or maybe a Tantive IV more than three inches long...
