Would be remiss to ignore one of the more contemporary influential mech designers in the west, Aaron Beck. Responsible for a decent chunk of Avatar, District 9, Call of Duty IW. Kind of the originator of the "tacticool" hard surface concept art trend of the 2010s.

What worries me is that this is a further sign that moving forward, Bandai's DX design team is just going to half-ass things more and more with the DX line. We already saw this to a certain extent with some of the design choices on the YF-21 and with the VF-17S, they have gone into full on lazy and cost saving mode.

No open cockpit but lots of cool details. I need like 3 of these! Looking forward to Mercy Rabbits artwork.

Last time I had something 3d printed (several years ago) I just googled for 3d printing services in my country/state/city etc.

Ohhh snap!

Oh yeah forgot about those it's been so long, lol

Thanks for the link

That is an old Yammie 1/48

Nice! Is the big one a painted DX?

Damn that’s nice. Thanks for the link.

amazon cancelled mine, i'm jealous. i have to give up and hope in 2027 they reprint some and there's no tariffs in a few years.

I know it's been a long, long time since you asked this question, but I've been working on a 3D printed replacement for the back plate and the arm hinges.

Yes, it’s the DYRL Movie version! Lots of photos of the new model on Hasegawa’s site: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/35-2 Looks awesome!

That’s the one. Thanks for posting. 👍

Awesome. That is a must have book.

Almost makes me want to get a KC valk. Almost.

Feelin' the holiday blues? That's the ThreeZero on the left, for the sake of comparison.

I don’t know what it is (Nousjadeul-Ger?) - I figured someone here absolutely would.

Um… is this what I think it is!? I’m ready!

@tekering That looks awesome

It's OK, as shounen anime titles go. It feels a lot like Bleach at the start between the art style, tone, and the basic premise. It loses that sense of fun and adventure after the first few story arcs and starts leaning a lot more heavily on horror. Especially almost Junji Ito-esque body horror. Past the Shibuya arc it kind of devolves into audience alienating levels of unstinting darkness and misery. That's right about where it lost me. IIRC when the manga ended the fans were pretty upset with the ending too... saying that the main villain kind of goes down like a chump. (IMO, it's a real shame because when the series was screwing around doing anything BUT advance the main plot, that was when I had the most fun with it.) I think so. YMMV, of course. It's not great or doing anything groundbreaking in its genre, but it's at least pretty good as a romcom goes and I had fun with it to the end. A lot more so than most of the other titles I watched this season. The ending is abrupt AF. It's car crash levels of sudden and out of nowhere. Not bad, but just very... "that escalated quickly". Yeah, I get the feeling they're kind of hitting the limits of the premise at this point. Right up 'til the end I was convinced they were going to try to announce a fourth season by dropping one of the other successful isekai titles into the mix like Ascendance of a Bookworm.
