    Yeah, you'd think so. Especially given that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds usually aligns itself with pre-Kurtzman Star Trek in depicting the Federation as an enlightened civilization that places considerable value on ethical behavior and personal integrity. One has to wonder if the writer's an only child... because anyone with siblings would probably find the non-reaction to what happens the strangest thing of all. Worf is probably the least threatening person on that list! He'd just tell them "You have no honor!" and have them confined to quarters. Kirk or Picard would murder them with words before confining them to quarters and ending their careers with a sternly worded letter of complaint. Sisko would hit 'em with the side eye and then tell Odo to throw them in a holding cell, probably more to save them from the wrath of Major Kira than as a punishment. Archer would smile blandly and confine them to quarters. Freeman would just yell impotently and Burnham would just cry about it. FAFO with Janeway... you just don't. Not if you want to live. There is a BODY COUNT and it is NOT small. (Canonically, it's in the trillions by 2401.)

    I’d like to swap parts. The micro missile boxes aren’t really my thing, but the triple missile racks from SDFM are. Shame you can’t mix & match.

    Nice and notable additions @tekering

    Very cool! I need it about twice as large and available in the US!😁

    Part of the og post seems to have disappeared. Originally Swann had made the comment that Global looked a bit like Tony Iommi. And somehow part of my reply post seems to have gone missing since I pointed out that it was the mustache and I had attached a pic of him before he did the added chin hair. it all probably would’ve made much better sense if things were attached and in full, but they seem to have come in kinda choppy. That and being a Metalhead would help as well

    Agreed: Then of course:

    Yeah, I get the feeling they were trying for that Star Trek VI effect where the writers put the racism on the minority character to make it more effective narratively. The ending is really unsatisfying too, because there are no real consequences for him either.

    The Yammie Ghost itself fits the Arcadia VF-0xx fine. Only the ordnances (missile pods, fuel tank) don't, as the Arcadia mounting holes are slightly bigger and will not hold them without some fillers.

    I think I'll have my full review of the Tread up tomorrow. Here's a quick scale shot:
  13. Seto Kaiba
    Had some good episodes of Secrets of the Silent Witch and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex this week. Dan Da Dan was initially a pretty interesting, but has bogged down so very badly in this "Evil Eye" business that I'm just bored with it. You can only make a character so stupid until their voice becomes The Most Annoying Sound. Jin started on the wrong side of that line and he has been tracking steadily in the wrong direction. Having a redeemable villain is a fairly standard staple of shounen anime and has been forever... but there are some types of villain who AREN'T and trying to pretend that they are is just wasting everyone's time.

    I'd give this a pass as Hasbro doing something for kiddies instead of a collector... if Takara weren't also doing their kid-oriented Wild King line that craps all over this. Yeah, if only Mixmaster would ship. It's the only figure from the wave I don't have. 😒 Yeah, I mean, distribution is pretty sketchy (my local Target doesn't seem to have jack, but my local Walmart is full up on the current AOTP wave. But yeah, Megatron is part of the current Studio Series wave that should be hitting shelves about now.

    G1 Hook had a poor leg design, let's be honest; chromed plastic isn't really known for it's resiliency and the nub at the knee that the cab/ lower leg attached to was kind of flimsy.
  16. ValkAddict started following Arcadia 1/60 VF-0S & VF-0A , Yamato VF-11C - is it worth it? , Whats next for Arcadia? and 2 others
  17. ValkAddict
    Thankful I scored one of these earlier this year.
  18. ValkAddict
    Man, I wish they would reissue the weathered version.
  19. ValkAddict
    Want. Hopefully not too painful (for my toy budget) to get.
  20. ValkAddict
    Basara Prime? Hard no.
  21. ValkAddict
    +1 holding out hope that Arcadia will reissue the ghost booster for their recent 1/60 VF-0 releases. #someday #dreams
  22. Chronocidal
    I mean I don't expect Arcadia to ever re-produce it, but I guess my point was that it doesn't make sense to scale up the HMR version when the 1/60 version already exists to just measure directly. The weapons shouldn't have any trouble fitting either, aside from the chest mounts. My thought was more that it shouldn't be hard to design and print a set of adapters to properly support the original ghost, since Arcadia just can't be bothered to do the work. Edit: To be clear though, if it wasn't stated earlier.. Bandai didn't fix the proportions for the ghost either. They did a straight re-scale of the Yamato version without changing anything, and because of this, it doesn't fit correctly either. The only thing they changed was molding the canards permanently bent into the position that would over-stress the moving Yamato version, leaving the ghost propped up too high in the front.

    As ever, you are so diligent. Great work @tekering .

    This one lost a bit of its context when I got merged into the thread. It was originally a standalone post. IIRC @Swann was comparing it to the cover of the KISS album Dynasty? Not quite a weirdest places reference but more a weird reference in Macross.

    I’ve had one of those sets saved in my Amazon cart for a few years. I wanted to compare the weapons to Hasegawa’s, but I was always reluctant to order it because I assumed the Bandai Super leg and arm parts wouldn’t fit properly with any other brand.

    Another significant detail absent from the Cygnus CGI model I'm printing are these "croquet hoop" fuel pods on either side of the prow: Even from photographed from the back end of the ship, they're still prominently visible up front. Nonetheless, I had to kitbash my own because -- even at the tiny scale I'm working at -- the 3D model just isn't adequately detailed. This "weekend project" has already occupied most of my free time this month, and I'm nowhere near finished...! 😅
