    It's not canon, it's a misinterpretation of this vintage promo art: The vintage model kit that sported this packaging art got it right... The larger-scale "conversion" kit also got it right... Heck, even the much-maligned Evolution Toy got it right. Sentinel did a great job with their interpretation of the Legioss, but they definitely fumbled the ball on the stabilizer markings.

    Yes, but even using the promotional artwork you chose, there are major discrepancies in the shape: The sculpt still needs major work, I'd say. 🤨

    Except for the mask. 😒 That mask is a disaster. 🤕

    Cockpit and quad cannons already look great!

    That art was commissioned just to sell the figures? Wow! 😶

    BBTS is still using this image: ...and while I took issue with the proportions and some of the details of that prototype... ...it's vastly superior to what we're now seeing. 🙄

    Note to Kitz Concept: Fabric does not scale. 😒 It's time to rethink that strategy. 🤕

    What a ridiculous Photoshop fail. 🙄 "The Flashtrail goes under the Batwing, you idiot!"

    This has always been my favorite image of the Destroid Tomahawk in Macross: The mayor's limousine, known as a "Red Imperial 99," is driven by Lynn Kaifun in ep.31. It's the crux of a dramatic and memorable scene between Minmay and Hikaru. It's a very stylish, futuristic luxury automobile. @captain america is currently developing a 1:48 Tomahawk as a resin kit, and a 1:48 Red Imperial 99 would complement it very well, I should think.

    Cost of materials, manufacturing and labor have resulted in MSRPs twice what they used to be, and -- since the cost-cutting RE:100 line has been discontinued -- the market has shrunk to us die-hards willing to pay exorbitant prices for Gundam Fix Figuration, Metal Build, and model kits at 1:100 scale. Unfortunately, the retail standard is now 1:144, 'cause that's all the average consumer can afford any more. 🤕

    You will see dates, prices, and links posted when they're announced.

    It was not "good," merely less reprehensible than previous seasons... or indeed, most anything produced under Kurtzman's auspices. 🤕

    It appears they just assembled the left elbow backwards. 🙄

    "Non-scale" is an industry-standard abbreviation that means "We're not concerned with accuracy, we're not interested in consistency, and we're perplexed by arithmetic." 🙄

    There's no school like the oldskool! Given ARII literally painted over the line art, I'd say that's the best reference to work from.

    I assumed this was another series of Japanese-animated shorts, like the first season... It turns out these aren't Japanese, and are therefore best watched in English instead.

    ...and that's why it sold out in minutes. Never frakkin' mind, then. 😡

    Micro Galaxy Squadron, eh? Apart from the Falcon, those look pretty good. Being Target exclusives, we're unlikely to see them distributed outside of North America. 😐

    Metal Gear Solid? 🤨

    He was clearly as excited as the interviewer was. 😅

    I see they've made some significant improvements.

    The gradation on the rear stabilizers is particularly impressive. [ . . . ] "MENOETIUS?" 🤨

    Couldn't be worse than Godzilla vs. Kong... 😫

    The only one? I thought Saru was a quintessentially Star Trek character... In fact, he acted more like Spock than Spock did in Discovery. 😅

    I know you're being facetious, but that's actually an important concept in Japanese sci-fi... What made Robotech stand out among shows like Transformers, Robotix, M.A.S.K. etc. was a story element that American cartoons lacked: the ability to empathize with the antagonist, establishing the possibility of peaceful coexistence. Once communication was achieved, mutual understanding led to a cease of hostilities. We see this with the Gamilas in Yamato, with the Zentraedi in Macross, and with the Invid in Mospeada (and even intended for Southern Cross, where the Zor would've been revealed to be simply humans displaced in time).
