  1. 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...)!
  2. 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.
  3. Having been moved into this thread, my comment is no longer relevant... Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a "delete" option.
  4. Forget the Valks... Where can I get a 1:2000 ARMD?
  5. "Foreign" is relative. And what might your native language be...? It's clearly not English.
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. Have CGI renders been mis-transformed before?
  9. '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.
  10. Oh wow, KFC's "Ditka" is gorgeous! Look at all the Japanese Type-74 tank detailing! Look how cartoon-accurate his jet mode is! Look how well he scales with Masterpiece figures! Look how good the toy looks from these same few angles! If only the quality control was better than the usual KFC crap-show, he'd actually be a great figure...
  11. For you, it was Valentine's Day. For me, it was Decepticon Day!

    Hi-Metal R

    Six! I can barely fit one into my hangar.
  13. I just hope the Yellow figure is unique. Stig and Ray can share proportions, but Yellow should be much taller and thinner than the others.
  14. As long as it comes with proper waterslide decals this time around, I'll be satisfied... Speaking of which... @Anasazi37?
  15. Ooh, with mini Borough Superior figures! Awesome!
  16. C'mon, Bandai. 1:5000 scale? That's only about 30cm in length -- only half the size of the Revell/Zvezda kit.
  17. It saddens me greatly that I can't upvote your reviews any more, Mike. That's a surprisingly good-looking Harrier, and tampography is a welcome addition on any third-party toy.
  18. This massive 1:12 "Space Jockey" really ties the room together. Got it for a substantial discount, owing to the damage... Looks like something must've come out of it, eh?
  19. Hate to agree, Cap'n, but yeah... Those proportions are disappointing. Massive chest and squat little legs might make for a decent Armo-Fighter, but Soldier mode's an eyesore... especially that shoulder-mounted sensor array thing.
  20. Because it's rated PG-13...? Because it's also rated PG-13...?

    Macross figures

    Using that logic, this figure is worth adding to our Mospeada collections: What's more, it's not even true. There are other Zentraedi alternatives... albeit even worse than MEP's. Honestly, if it's sub-par crap or nothing, I'll stick with nothing. It's cheaper and easier on the eyes.
  22. Actually, he says nothing good about the movie whatsoever. Apart from being excited that Cameron and Rodriguez are involved, all he literally said was "I'm not the type who goes into these things with high expectations..." Mamoru Oshii was similarly mistranslated in the advertising for the Ghost in the Shell live-action film.
  23. As the interior art improves, the Waltrip brothers' cover makes a mockery of it.
