  1. I suppose "Aimee," "Eimee," or even "Eimii" is also possible... but "Amie" is definitely wrong. It doesn't correspond to Japanese or English spelling conventions. Looks like an easy fix, though. Just print a new sticker. But what spelling would be most appropriate? Traditional Western European (Amy Locke)? Fashionably North American (Aimee Rock)? Nihon-shiki Romanji (Eimii Rokku)?
  2. Upcoming action figures displayed at NYCC. They're only 5POA, but at least they come with removable helmets...
  3. Hmm... I would've thought most of us got the 1/55 Valks first, then got the 1/60, then got the 1/48, then got the 1/60 v.2, then got the HMRs later on. But maybe most of us aren't as old as I am...
  4. Damn, CM's got so close... ...but the lack of Jim "Lunk" Cooper and Ariel/"Marlene"/Aisha still hurts.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Your experience has led others to unscrew those tight hip joints before attempting transformation, so I think you've probably saved several figures from similar damage. We're all a lot wiser, thanks to you. Didn't know Bandai had a "repair center."

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    I agree. The YF-29 is superior to any Valkyrie designed since. Of course, it can't hold a candle to the YF-19.
  7. There is another option for you to consider, my friend... ...if you have no moral objection to unlicensed third-party knock-offs, that is.
  8. It's awkward, but not impossible...
  9. I'm happy to report Kidz Concept and Sentinel seem to be on the same page when it comes to Robotech figure scale.

    Macross figures

    I think Kidz Concept is the best Minmay we can hope for.
  11. Got my Minmei, and couldn't wait to open her up. For those of you who may object to the $50 price tag, consider all the display options she presents: She can rock out like Janis Joplin... Ride a skateboard like a pro... Teach Tony Stark a lesson in feminine empowerment... ...and photobomb like only a teenage girl can. Heck, she can even kick Thanos' ass and save the universe! I'm just glad they thought to include the action figure stand, 'cause everybody's gonna want to reproduce Minmei's famous Flying Kick pose, right? Right? I actually prefer this pose, though. P.S. For those of you viewing this post from the privacy of your own home, and you perverts who insist on checking under the hood...
  12. As a prequel series with direct ties to The Force Awakens, Resistance could help flesh out and legitimatize the sequel trilogy just as the Clone Wars series helped flesh out and legitimatize the prequel trilogy... ...if it's anywhere near as good, of course. Cautiously optimistic about this one.
  13. MASSIVE reshoots. Like, over half the film. The remake of Stephen King's It turned out to be a big hit, so the studio decided to make New Mutants a straight-up horror film. http://collider.com/x-men-dark-phoenix-new-mutants-release-date-delay-explained/#fox

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    "HLJ and Anime-Export were the ones that received broken antennae," you mean. Middlemen retailers have no control over how Bandai packages their product, of course. I'm sure you didn't mean to suggest otherwise, but be careful with your English syntax!

    Hi-Metal R

    You don't need another, sh9000?
  16. Wow, the yellow and orange don't match AT ALL. This will require a complete repaint. Apples and oranges, man, but here you are:
  17. So do I. They're very photogenic. Especially the forest camo!
