    Yeah, that's where I got mine. Vintage Macross kits aren't great, but they're plentiful; I often buy 'em just for the decals. Panel-lining and decals are fine, but weathering means abandoning the toy aesthetic entirely... and if I weather one, I've gotta weather them all.

    And Rick's adds 18 inches.

    Geez, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. It's been 30 years since Matchbox, guys... "Slightly better than what we had in the '80s" just isn't gonna cut it. And why is she so much taller than Rick...?

    4 head molds + 2 body molds = 5 collectible figurines.

    I've been following it. So far, it's been pretty harmless and irreverent, mostly because it's a self-contained environment with a small number of characters; and BB-8 is the only regular character to influence the Star Wars universe beyond the limited setting. Unlike Rebels, which focused on The Force and eventually involved the Emperor himself, Resistance has been pretty generic sci-fi stuff. It also demonstrates Disney's typical play-it-safe approach, so it's not likely to piss off the fandom... if it manages to make any impact at all.

    Oh man, I'd forgotten how plain the Glaug looks without decals. Awesome toy, though. One of the crown jewels of the HMR line. Good score, kkx.

    Sure, but the VF-1 stealth is larger and cooler, as is Yamato's low-vis grey. And they're both 1:48, to scale with the DX Chogokin. If it's a 1:60 VE-1 or a 1:48 stealth VF-1, I think the choice is clear. Plus, I can get you one here in Japan for much less than they go for online.

    Hi-Metal R

    Congratulations on your first custom, Rogueload. The neck should be blue as well, though... A matte finish won't avoid chipping, especially when applied over a smooth plastic surface. You should hit every raised edge with sandpaper to roughen it up, especially where it's likely to contact another painted surface: Repainting a transformable toy can be a daunting task!

    You mean Jetfire?

    Really?! Batman and Robin. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Blade: Trinity. Catwoman. Elektra. The Fantastic Four films. The Ghost Rider films. Green Lantern. Howard the Duck. Jonah Hex. Spawn. The Spirit. Steel. Supergirl. Superman III. Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. Sure, Apocalypse didn't compare to Days of Future Past or Logan, but do you really think it was as bad as any of the above? Hell, it wasn't even the worst of the X-Men films...

    I can't believe you guys are still bending over backwards trying to fit Discovery into established Star Trek continuity. Just because it's made some minor cosmetic alterations in its second season doesn't solve the inherent inconsistencies in the premise. "Spore drive" technology has never existed in the franchise before, either in the past or -- more importantly -- in the future. The series is still full of never-before-seen alien species, and the few we do know still look substantially different than previous depictions. And the main character is still Spock's adopted human sister, which I can't even. Thus, I still maintain this whole series is an alternate universe, and recommend you regard it as such. The sooner you embrace that, the easier it will be to enjoy it on its own terms.

    Is this ever going to see the light of day? It was test-screened over a year ago...! Maybe, like The New Mutants, they'll just keep bumping the release date further and further into the future, until the studio heads can finally wash their hands of it and declare it Disney's problem... It sounds like a disaster.

    I can see why! Amazing! We really need photo-etched upgrade parts for the Max Factory 1:20 Valkyrie. np thx OP

    It's up to Jim, really. If Cameron wants a sequel, he could just about bankroll it himself.

    Custom ball-joints!

    Having just bought another Bayverse Megs (Model Wizard's "Metal Rendsora" version of The Last Knight Megatron), I'm not keen on ordering yet another smallish (and overpriced) Leader-class figure... After now having replaced Lockdown, Blackout, Grimlock, Prime, and Megatron with larger, more accurate third-party versions -- at increasingly low prices -- I've finally decided it's not worth ordering the official Leaders at all. I've always resented the "Eh, I'll just wait for the inevitable KO" crowd, but I'm beginning to see their point... I mean, Rendsora retails for HALF the price of that ugly little Leader.

    Wow! Where'd you get the diorama?
  18. tekering
    Damn. I don't have a hope in hell of finding one of those.
  19. tekering
    Looks great, Ignacio. What's the base figure?
  20. tekering
    I think you'll find he's very accurate.
  21. tekering
    I'm not seeing it. Was that a change made in post-production? Guess nobody told Bandai.

    Thanks! And thanks to JetJockey for the heads-up. It's actually not the first Bubblegum Crash cel I've bought from Mr. Woodhead, either... I bought this pan setup from him at Anime Expo '92, twenty-seven years ago...!

    Mine for $305, frame included! What a steal!

    Kitz Concept displayed a 1:12 "Dana" figure last year:

    As our erstwhile Captain America has already proved, Tatsunoko just "faked it 'til you make it" with the official Legioss dimensions to begin with... so the stated scales have always been rather useless and irrelevant, really, since they're so inconsistently applied. Having a proper height measurement in Armo-Soldier mode would be far more practical.
