  1. Past hour
  2. That's a cool touch. But still no pics of the underneath of plane mode to see if they fix those ugly gaps the YF19 has...
  3. Apologies for my ignorance. Wed Exclusive like can be purchased on the Tamashi store? Or Web Exclusive like available in any online store but not a actual physical store?
  4. Comparing apples with bananas here. One designed to look stylized like in the show. The other designed with plausible functionality. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ @Big s - Cheers for the HQ detailed pics. I'm so sold on these, will pick up the 1J to build during my summer. Definitely need some Regults in the same stylization to recreate some memorable scenes. Maybe some Zentradi troops too. It's also great to see that the seams don't need a lot of work, as from the online reviews I've seen, Max Factory was a bit behind this compared to others. How do the joints fair up? Is the quality of the polycaps good?
  5. Today
  6. Very nice build! Love these couple of pics especially.
  7. Gotta say these destroids look really great & vibrant! https://x.com/aokiryuusei2000/status/1791868923631333727
  8. Exactly. Hence the recent no show of Wave at the latest hobby fair. All I'm expecting is another Valk release this year by them.
  9. Finally finished the project of YF-25 Paladin Prophecy in Macross Rider. It's not an easy task to find the parts, especially when I damaged some parts and hence needed to find extra spare parts. And special thanks to a friend who passed me the resin parts, otherwise this project wouldn't be complete.
  10. I see this guy never demonstrated the "DX" hip joint...I have not either ever since the one from my VF-1J V 2.0 broke....for me it may as well not even exist on the KC VF-1...
  11. I'm going today, too, but I've got the same "Rolling Out for 40 Years" shirt Evan was wearing in the last Pulse stream. EDIT: my local theater didn't get the cup & bucket.πŸ˜• I found I could order them online, though.
  12. Excited to watch the first four G1 episodes on the big screen later today. Here's my shirt for the day.
  13. Thanks for keeping the lines of communication open, Cap'! My financial investment in this project is negligible compared to my emotional investment in the Spartas, so I really appreciate having your ear (and given the number of likes my previous comment received, I'm clearly not the only one). ☺️ Perhaps I misinterpreted your intentions for this figure. Will this be transformable after all? I was expecting a model with specific parts to accurately represent each mode, not one that makes aesthetic compromises for the sake of transformation. 🀨 Now I'm certain I misinterpreted your intentions for this figure. πŸ˜’ If I may assume the form of King Hamlet's ghost: "This visitation / Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose" (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 4). You're obviously enjoying the engineering challenge this mecha represents, but I fear you may be heading in the wrong direction. We're not asking you to redesign the Spartas, much less the vintage toy. If the backpack depicted in "Battle Sniper" mode is too large to fit in "Sniping Clapper" mode, then give us a smaller piece to take its place if we want to build that mode. I do realize there's a limited amount of resin allotted to the production of each kit (and silicon molds aren't cheap, either), so you want to keep the parts count down... but parts-swapping is unavoidable when adapting hand-drawn mecha. Even the most sophisticated Valkyrie toy requires swapping out the hands to look decent; and since looking decent is the primary purpose of any garage kit, the compromises you're making may be inappropriate. This is precisely how the animators interpreted the line art, for the entire production run of the series. Erroneous American toys are an irrelevant distraction at best, a ruinous disaster at worst. 😬
  14. I never got any of the nitro kits, but I have a few of the wave versions of the armor suits and a groBerhund from hasegawa. Very fun little kits
