    Really? Looks more like Nebula to me.

    Luckily, I haven't started on my Moscato Gnerl yet... and this will provide excellent motivation to do so. Awesome idea, Brett. Count me in.

    And "MEGA ROAD-01" on the ventral strake...! Can't one of you Macross gurus clue us in?

    Rintaro's epic feature film version of CLAMP's X/1999 manga series, simply titled X, is desperately in need of an HD remastering for Blu-ray release.

    So, taking inspiration from the HMR, I've started giving my 1:60 VF-4 the "Premium Finish" treatment... However, I have a question concerning the markings on the HMR. What does the "SDF-018" on the vertical stabilizers refer to?

    He looks a lot like the Rick Hunter portrayed in the new Titan Comics series... Except for the eyes, of course.

    Tampographed arrows, numbers and triangles make all the difference to me. The 1:60 VF-4 just looks too plain, especially the nosecone. Time to break out the waterslide decals!

    Absolutely not. First of all, Rogue One is no more Jedi-related than Solo is. Secondly, Rogue One didn't try to re-cast a principal Star Wars character. The digital zombies were terrifying, but marketing wasn't relying on them (and Genevieve O'Reilly had already played Mon Mothma in Revenge of the Sith). Alden Ehrenreich, on the other hand, had to convince audiences he could be Han Solo -- based solely on the trailers -- and... didn't. Most importantly, Rogue One followed in the wake of The Force Awakens, which was a massive success and fairly well-received by fans. Solo came quickly after The Last Jedi had enraged a large portion of the fandom, and also had a lot of bad pre-release press, owing to its troubled production... Lest we forget, box-office receipts are a reflection of a film's marketing, not the quality of the film itself. Even Batman & Robin was a financial success.

    Why put jets on flight stands if the landing gear is deployed...?

    Several will, I'm sure. The only question is, who will be the first? Well, whaddaya know... I answered my own question.

    It all depends on how well Episode IX fares at the box office. Solo drowned in the wake of The Last Jedi, and if fans are still angry enough to boycott the sequel as well, it may not make enough money to justify the production of further Star Wars films... and this new trilogy could be cancelled as quickly as Rian Johnson's was.

    This one's not a comedy.

    Oh, that's just cosplay. Artists have been drawing girls like that for decades. But official Bandai merchandise!?! I'm particularly intrigued by the large block of text on the front of the box: GESF OIY CEERL WOFD HGYN LPGEC EUVX JCLN PTSGHAI GLP GT-R COLGE NISHU A ZO KNJIGEE KACUTASANWP HLY TWFO PDEH TS DE LAGJIKLH CFLRT OP YAD HAWRN.

    So Optimus and Megatron aren't the leaders any more? I think Hasbro should seriously reconsider their size classification system.

    Umm... I don't think your post belongs here... This section of the forum is for off-topic posts, not directly related to Macross.

    Picked up this filthy bug at a convenience store on my way home: Not nearly so dirty in robot mode, though. Comes in one of those monochromatic Japanese boxes that scream "EXCLUSIVE!". Scales great with filthy voyagers.

    I'm waiting for Yes-Model to release an upscaled Utopia knock-off, once they're finished releasing their upscaled Guardia knock-offs.
  18. tekering
    Damn, I didn't realize the fighter mode could look so good... or that they'd scale so well with HMRs. Now I need one.
  19. tekering
    Fabulous work, TJ. The pose, the angle, and the lighting are highly dramatic and effective.
  20. tekering
    I think ToyWorld's "Evila Star" almost managed that... ...although the robot mode proportions suffered along the same lines as the original G1 did. Still, the Thomas renders look great. 2023 can't come fast enough!
  21. tekering
    That's surprisingly close to the color it should actually be... excepting the head, of course. It'll probably look a lot better in fighter mode.
  22. tekering
    You seem to have answered your own question, chief.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    tekering replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Quoted by who? There is literally nowhere on Earth where it could cost that much to send a toy back to Japan. Are you on the International Space Station?
  24. tekering
    Again with the crowdfunding, I see... Harmony Gold's okay with this?

    The invasion is nigh! Bring on the army, Cap'n.
