    It does take up a great deal of shelf space in my workroom...

    You desperately need a 1:48 scale fan racer, buddy.

    You never fail to impress, Cap'n.

    For the box, yeah. Just toss out the toy, and replace it with an HMR instead.

    I spent a year in Japan on a Working Holiday visa, teaching English while honing my Japanese communication skills. Having met Mamoru Oshii, I interviewed for a job at Production I.G. in Kokubunji. They understood my passion for anime, but thought I was crazy for wanting to work there. "But, you're an English teacher! Why would you want to be an animator?" After discussing salary, benefits, and working conditions, I had to agree with them. Despite working less than half as many hours as they do, my salary is twice what they make! Actually, there is. https://gogetfunding.com/new-anime-making-system-project/

    N-scale train sets are between 1:148 and 1:160 (based on the manufacturer), and KATO claims 1:150 for all their various model train accessory sets... including these Patlabor ones. The difference is negligible, of course.

    There was no powered armor, of course, but a lot of the fascist subtext from the novel survived in the film adaptation... and, despite the white American leads, they even kept the Latin names and Argentinian setting from the book. If you want examples of movies that actually have nothing to do with their namesake, take a look at Æon Flux, Catwoman, Jem & the Holograms, The Lawnmower Man, the Resident Evil films, or Super Mario Bros... ESPECIALLY Super Mario Bros.

    Sure, I've built enough of these to recognize it at a glance: Originally produced by Imai, and recently re-released by Aoshima. The front tire tread is a dead giveaway.

    It's a custom, and not available for purchase.

    Fantastic news. I'll be all over that.

    Been there, done that.

    How ironic. They had the rights to an earlier dub, which they rejected due to liberties taken with the translation, instead producing an inferior dub rejected by its intended audience... ...exactly as ADV had done with Macross.

    Just picked up a 1:18 scale diecast 1967 Volkswagen Beetle as an accessory...

    I think you guys are ignoring a clear pattern Bandai has established here: Hikaru's VF-1J Max's VF-1A Hikaru's VF-1S Alternating Hikaru and Max, with a sequence of J-A-S releases, the next three are clearly: Max's VF-1J Hikaru's VF-1A Max's VF-1S It's a mathematical certainty.

    I'd swap out the leg armor to match...

    Articulation, obviously.

    Is yours a re-cast? That looks like bare plastic, but it's a completely different color from Bolt's...

    I'll bet a lot of Marvel and Disney execs are pissed off that it's already up on YouTube...

    Difficult decision, to be sure... In my case, there were two clear advantages to the 29B. The colors are as close as Frontier gets to a "Cavaliers" scheme, which I've always been crazy about... ...and the Perceval represents a unique character, as opposed to another Alto bird. I mean, I've already got Alto's Super Messiah on the shelf... ...and having two Altos in the same display would break narrative continuity, see?

    Funny, I always assumed they were Haro a la Gundam. Love it, Brett.

    Your body is subconsciously reacting to Luca's RVF-25... Your Pavlovian response to anything with a sensor dish is well-documented.

    You'd have to. International airfare is expen$ive!

    After years and years in storage, my Frontier Valkyries finally have a dedicated shelf:
