Even with its ups and downs, I'm still happy to have enjoyed seeing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine throughout the years.

I love the set. Wolverine is a nice pinless update and that Psylocke is a figure I always wanted.- 94 replies

Who is better pilot, Roy or Ozma? Actually I'm not even sure if Roy did pilot that YF-29, as I never played Macross 30.

Very nice. I bought some Posca markers recently and tried the green on the VF-1A head so far. The paint applies nice and evenly so I'll see how mine turns out once I find some time.

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I did. Came together beautifully despite being one of the more challenging transformations for me. Sadly, the black stand it came with introduced me to the true meaning of "Bandai Explodium." I was able to salvage most of it, but the stand is d-u-n. Maybe I can fill out the warranty card and get a replacement? 😛- 94 replies

The Comic Book thread
F-ZeroOne replied to Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Little bit of a follow up: I may have got a bit confused about a certain famous UK business personality appearing in "Action Force"; the story in question may have been in the UK "Transformers" comics. However, the events that led up to that story were part of a previous "Action Force/Transformers" crossover; I think installments may have been published in each comic at the time. Whilst revisiting "Action Force" to check, I was reminded of some of the artists that worked on it - Geoff Senior is probably the most well known internationally, but there was also Robin Smith (a "2000AD" artist, not to be confused with the Galaxys Greatest Comics other Smith-droid, Ron Smith) and the sadly often overlooked Jerry Paris; an artist probably best known in the UK for his video game magazine covers and art, but who also produced comic strips for a couple of them as well. He had a fantastically chunky "mecha" style that I've often wondered may have been manga or anime inspired. Something else that was dredged up from memory is that almost forgotten in the "Action Force/G.I. Joe" comics history is that "Action Force" had a precursor series of comic adventures; the long-running UK war comic "Battle" (later "Battle/Action Force") ran a series based on the original Palitoy line and which featured some interesting variations on the lore, especially as the "G.I. Joe" line developed more influence over time; did you know for example that the COBRA F.A.N.G. helicopters were developed from S.A.S. H.A.W.K. helicopters? (according to "Battle/Action Force" at any rate!). When "Action Force" became its own thing, comics wise, "Battle" implemented a suspiciously similar substitute, "Storm Force", with a hero with an interchangeable weapons arm who led a paramilitary organisation who flew across the world in a weaponised Concorde...!- 491 replies

I think that Amazon USA website lists the item as releasing on May 22, 2024. So take this with a grain of salt, as I have no idea how official this date may be. Twich

ThreeZero ROBOTECH (Macross) Toys
Sanity is Optional replied to kyekye's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I have one of the original Threezero Patlabor figures, and it gets an A grade from me. Even has fabric joint covers that look good. Hefty, solid, poseable, gimmicks, hits all the right notes. Only company I've been more impressed with is CCS (specifically their Gurren Lagann, which is amazing) -

jvmacross replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is it shot angles or does it seem they went back to the original "skinny" leg regult and also reduced the size of the small and large missile attachments? The original teased attachments look larger to me....and the small missile pods looks different too...- 1791 replies

I have a few Threezero items, and their construction & engineering is great, with smart use of metal in places to give a nice feeling of heft without compromising durability or posability. They usually punch above their price point compared to established Japanese brands like Bandai. From what I see online here and there, there's very little quality issues on modern Threezero products, but as with other brands, sometimes it does rear its head and its usually due to tolerances errors rather than outright engineering or design incompetence. Was expecting reviews to have start to come out based on previous info of April release, but their latest update is that release have been pushed to this month. So, anytime now I guess.
