  1. Pulled the trigger on an eknight PO....never used them before, will see how it goes
  2. KC "canon" TV releases so far... VF-1S Roy VF-1S Hikaru VF-1J Hikaru VF-1J "Brownie" VF-1J Max VF-1J Milia VF-1A CF VF-1A Max VF-1A Kakizaki They just need a Cavaliers, Alaska Base VF-1A, and the VF-1D trainer, VR, CF.... If they had skipped the non-canon schemes they probably would have been done with the Canon TV schemes by now...they should go for the VF-1D next

    Macross figures

    First "variant" in their 1/12 Macross figure line? Not sure if I am in on this one...have multiples of everything else they have released though...trying to convince myself

    Macross figures

    I received mine as well, was pleasantly surprised with it....has it's issues, but the positives outweigh the negatives...looking forward to more of these "deluxe" figures...I think the cloth gimmick would work well with the Zentradi Characters in their officer outfits...thinking Beetai, Exsedol, Quamzin, etc....although I would still want their armor versions as "standard" editions (plastic)...
  5. The cels drawn for Episode 1 where we first see Hikaru wearing his flight googles are probably among the best of the entire series...so not sure why you think the googles on the toy are anything like the googles as drawn on the show.... My complaint are the actual paint colors used...for some reason KC thinks shiny and chrome makes anything look better....and may as well include the "silver" gloves...should have been grey....just like Focker's flight suit shoul dhave been grey and not grey-purple...lol
  6. Macross 7 Notepad by Seika Note Co., Ltd....planned by Movic
  7. Yeah, if you are looking at the pics at full resolution, you will notice the stitching, etc.....in-hand, not so much The googles are not anime accurate....that is another of KC's weaknesses...they love their shiny paint apps! I did not take pics of the helmet, which instead of using regular red paint....they seem to have used some leftover chrome red paint from the God of Sparks release....I have the Pilot Hikaru fig, so that helmet is painted correctly
  8. Really like this new Hikaru fig.....the "cloth" gimmick is not bad and actually looks pretty good in-hand.... I'm thinking this "deluxe" treatment will really work well with the Zentran and Meltran characters with their non-armor outfits...assuming any of them ever get made... My only minor complaint is the diffucult in mounting the googles...they should have just added one more front hair piece with the googles molded into it.... This figure would make me consider buying a Kids Logic 1/12 VF-1D cockpit diorama.....or 1/12 Fan Racer?
  9. ...and how many beskar-armored Stormtroopers did ONE Mandalorian Heavy Gunner single-handedly gun down? 24 per the kill count video posted by @sh9000 Based on how that battle went down...I'm thinking the original droid Dark Troopers were much deadlier....one Mandalorian (Din - a formidable Mandalorian) could barely handle one of them, with most of his Mandalorian weapons failing to take down a single Dark Trooper.....if it wasn't for his Beskar spear...he may have been killed... So based on this decision from Moff Gideon, we can see the origins of the tactical stupidity displayed by the First Order years later...LOL
  10. Received my Super Dimension Fortress Macross Hikaru Ichijo (Robotech Rick Hunter) in Civilian Flight Suit figure....not too bad looking... Freebie!
  11. eknightmedia's PO price is very tempting....
  12. The other potential ride re-theme is the Rock n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios....love the ride and Aerosmith...but things do not look good for Aerosmith's frontman these days, which means Disney will likely need to re-theme the ride... They already did so for it at Disneyland Paris...but would be cool if they could keep it related to another rock band
  13. If only Din would have called in for an assist from Luke Skywalker....that whole debacle would have been over as soon as it started... With that said....now that resurrecting all the "good" parts of the old EU is ramping up....what are the odds that before all is said and done...we will finally get to see Luke down an AT-AT or entire Star Destroyer using the Force alone? How exactly is the "new" dark trooper suit unveiled by Moff Gideon "better" than the Dark Troopers seen at the end of Season 2?......the Dark Troopers seem pretty indestructible....only a Jedi was able to defeat them...the new suit seems even easier to defeat....especially when Luke or another Jedi/Force user can simply use the Force to crush the suits' "contents"....makes no sense....perhaps I missed some detail brought up during the scene?
  14. Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind merch from Epcot..... Nova Corps Star Blaster diecast...
  15. I can attest to the nosedive KC has taken, in terms of customer service, as of late. However, they have yet to fail me in the long run. As of a few weeks ago, a bunch of parts that I needed to make several of my VF-1's "whole" were finally sent to me with profuse apologies. So, for now, I will still keep buying KC Macross stuff...especially the teased Destroids and Enemy Mecha....better late than never as the saying goes!
  16. same....I have a bootleg Bluray copy of DYRL so I just leave the boxset in its box.....the contents are actually pretty cool, but how often would you need to revisit?
  17. Maybe they aren't even the originals from the boxset...lol
  18. I think they are part of a dvd or bluray release and the seller is just selling each separately....they have been polluting the YJA poster listing for years
  19. You can watch it here if you like....
  20. I guess we will ultimately have no closure for any of these series unless we watch the upcoming Star Wars D+-verse "Endgame" movie....which will ultimately be meaningless as it all culminates with TROS....unless World Between Worlds comes into play in Ahsoka...
  21. Last day to ride Splash Mountain in the US is set for May 30....stand by lines are going to be insane.... https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-04-12/disneyland-splash-mountain-closing-date
  22. Lightcycle diecast available at WDW Lightcycle Run merch shop.... Has lightup gimmick....will open up and post pics later
