With all due respect, I don't think either of you remember what an Invid Eager looks like: Basically, nothing whatsoever like any Matchbox toy.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
tekering replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
There are significant deco differences on all of them... and of course, they were originally blister-packed in vehicle mode. That's why the new blisters largely obscure the packaging artwork behind them... of which Outback is particularly guilty. -

I put LEDs into my HMR Valkyrie cockpits: Just drilled a hole under the console, large enough to fit the bulb housing inside. Stuck a couple in my HMR Monster cockpit as well.

Given only four characters from the new Planet of the Apes trilogy were produced as action figures, I seem to be building up a pretty good ape army here... "This... ape home. You go... now." -

Kakizaki's VF-1A was, technically, distinct from the "bog standard..." ...albeit, only slightly. -
Love it, Pontus.

Honestly, I don't think SD Valkyries are cute. It's because they lack humanoid features. Gundams have two eyes, Transformers have two eyes, and many have noses and mouths as well -- all recognizably human attributes missing from Valkyrie head designs -- so other robots tend to work better in super-deformed proportions. Valkyrie faces are just too coldly mechanical to be anthropomorphized. In fact, I think that's why the VFGs exist instead. ADV's "Muh-CROSS" dub would suggest otherwise...

That's probably what Gundam would look like if Makoto Shinkai directed it.- 3496 replies

What are you guys talking about? How would a Kitz Concept Veritech toy possibly be preferable to an Arcadia or Bandai Valkyrie? As far as I can tell, the unique 1:72 scale is the only appeal this toy has to offer.

I have to assume Walmart has spent millions of dollars in licensing fees, production costs, CGI and airtime to distract us from realizing that ordering groceries online, only to physically drive to the store to pick them up, is an incredibly dumb idea. Still, nice to see 'Bee getting a prominent cameo!

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Magic Square, all day long. Look at the face, dude... and the clean, unbroken lines of the pelvis with the transparent amber lights... the rotating grey thighs... even the size and shape of the feet. The battle-damage options are just icing on the cake!- 9053 replies

Xigfrid's Shapeways shop: Arcadia 1/60 hard points
tekering replied to Shizuka the Cat's topic in Toys
And in the meantime, you can use a pin vice to drill out the interior holes to the proper radius... It's very difficult to make a large hole smaller, but very easy to make a small hole larger! -

Totally unnecessary. I've transformed mine twice now, and I've yet to even try detaching the legs. All the transformations, poses and shots I've achieved so far have been with the swing bar attached. There's already more articulation at the hips than any previous transforming VF-1. Why does a Valkyrie even need a waist joint?

While I agree the fixed-pose movie-style hands hardly seem necessary, I greatly appreciate the cartoon-style TV hands.
