  1. I can see why! Amazing! We really need photo-etched upgrade parts for the Max Factory 1:20 Valkyrie. np thx OP
  2. It's up to Jim, really. If Cameron wants a sequel, he could just about bankroll it himself.
  3. Custom ball-joints!
  4. 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.
  5. Wow! Where'd you get the diorama?
  6. Damn. I don't have a hope in hell of finding one of those.
  7. Looks great, Ignacio. What's the base figure?
  8. I think you'll find he's very accurate.
  9. 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...!
  10. Mine for $305, frame included! What a steal!
  11. 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.
  12. Can't wait to see what you think of Zeta's Superion, Mike! So DX9, Iron Factory, Generation Toy, NewAge et al. are actual Legends-scale, Mech Fans Toys and Hot Soldiers are almost Deluxes, and Magic Square lands somewhere in the middle...? Primus, what a mess.
  13. Well, that's problematic. It would upset the delicate balance that DX9, Iron Factory, Generation Toy, NewAge, et al. have maintained up to now. If Prime were any bigger, he'd be as tall as Grimlock or Ultra Magnus, and taller than Megatron (or even other iterations of himself...)!
  14. Oh, I much prefer the proportions on Iron Factory's Megatron, "The Tyrant." He scales better with all the other Iron Factory / Magic Square / NewAge / Sentinel / Generation Toy / DX9 Legends figures, too. Mech Fans Toys are always awkwardly big, I think.
  15. Having been moved into this thread, my comment is no longer relevant... Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a "delete" option.
  16. Forget the Valks... Where can I get a 1:2000 ARMD?
  17. "Foreign" is relative. And what might your native language be...? It's clearly not English.
  18. Keep an eye on eBay auctions. Even in an urban center the size of LA, your thief won't be able to fence completed Macross models locally.
  19. All I need is "Hikaru Ichijo" and the numbers "011" (although all ten digits would probably be a good idea, and "Maximillian Jenius" might prove popular).
  20. Have CGI renders been mis-transformed before?
  21. 'Cause Blitzwing would end up with shoulders like the Seekers have, that's why. I think we're lucky they chose robot-mode accuracy over real-world accuracy. Trying to make an accurate MiG from Blitzwing would be a fool's errand. Well, I haven't broken anything crucial yet, all the parts that have fallen off have been reattached, and -- after a great deal of frustration -- I've finally found that sweet spot where the legs will support the weight of the figure standing. I expect a positive experience going forward... ...provided I don't try and change the pose, of course.
