    Apart from the awful "super dimension" title translation (which we've suffered through for nearly 40 years now), the consistently misspelled "DIMENTION" and "FRORTRESS" are absolutely inexcusable. This is an officially-licensed Macross product under the purview of Big West, who should be ashamed of themselves. I'd give the Seika Note Co. an "F" in English, except it's not actually possible to receive a failing grade in Japanese public schools. Sad but true.

    Of course, yeah. "Double Evil" wasn't even on my radar -- IDW Overlord is the only one I know -- but now my Masterpiece Star Saber's starting to look a little lonely...
  3. tekering
    I respectfully disagree. As good as you've made "Double Evil" look, he's no Carnifex.

    Looks like a prototype for the 1:15 Imai kit. Imai often used that "Real Type" slogan in their marketing.

    Helmet looks great. I can already see the potential. Testing the thruster lighting: Definitely needs more diffusion, I think.

    Lazy, obfuscating acronyms are destroying our ability to communicate. I've got some PE sheets for sale... ...but I don't think that's what you mean. Wikipedia suggests over 50 common uses of the abbreviation "PE." "Photo-etched" is not among them. Sorry for the rant, it's a pet peeve of mine.

    You can adjust the angle of the wings... Or, by trimming some of the tabs, you can at least give it shoulder rotation and hinged elbows. Anything else would require more substantial modification.

    Depends on the Valk... Depends on the episode... Depends on the shot, even. Let's consult the Blu-ray, shall we? Looks kinda pale turquoise, most of the time... Not surprisingly, most toys and models use their own interpretations.

    I've already ditched mine. Having learned about the optional Rodimus face on FansToys' "Hoodlum," he will now represent my CHUG Rodimus Prime.

    HBT, of course!

    They're not upside-down, I was just being facetious. They merely look upside-down, 'cause we're used to the geometry of the FAST packs.

    Yes, Ocular Max's "Azalea." I think Prime is enjoying her more than I am...
  13. tekering
    Are those micro-missile pods upside-down deliberately, Noel?

    Lots of new Transformers this week! Azalea is really compact in vehicle mode -- typical HasTak deluxe, basically. She turns into a surprisingly tall robot, though... Skinny, but graceful. And she passes my biggest criteria for any Arcee figure: She can cross her legs.
  15. tekering
    Yeah, Mothra's a big bug. New Transformers!

    Once the offensive tampo is removed, the no.1 spot is easy: No.2 is difficult... but definitely one of these: No.3 glows-in-the-dark!
  17. tekering
    No, I just repainted her.

    Scales great with TomyTec N-gauge train accessories, that one.

    They've definitely tightened up the joints.

    Mr. Color lacquers, almost exclusively. They mix well, dry quickly, and are easily thinned.

    That's Hikky's a pain in the ass to paint, but he cleans up nice.

    With all the new Masterpiece Primes coming out, this recent IDW-style re-release isn't getting the attention it deserves: 'Cause it's glorious. Most third-party IDW figures are to scale, including MMC and Generation Toy releases: With tinted windows, painted roof lights, tail lights, and windshield wipers, articulated sideview mirrors and airfoil, integrated weapon storage, and perfect compatibility with MP-10's trailer, the retail price (as low as $85) is a real bargain! Third-parties are gonna run TakaraTomy out of business one of these days!

    I would remind everyone that's $300 Canadian dollars, which is only $226 USD... or, in my case, ¥24,724. For any limited-edition garage kit of this size, that's a fair price... For a Moscato Hobby kit, with all the accuracy and detail our erstwhile Captain is known for, it's a bargain!
  24. tekering
    As usual, the Captain is right on the ball. 18cm (7 inches) will be the perfect height. My PayPal is ready.

    The Emperor is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress. Let's keep those WIP pics coming, guys! Since that bastard GMK made such a gorgeous scratch-built backpack, I no longer found my mods satisfactory... so I had to cut a hole and make a whole new dome for the top: I also added a protruding outer edge to the exhaust cover (front), with the distinctive cut-out that's visible on most of the line art. As suggested earlier, I kit-bashed a bunch of internal pistons and hydraulics using leftover parts from other Hasegawa and Bandai kits... ...although most of the detail won't actually be visible inside the legs. Thanks for the inspiration, guys! It's unconscionable, is what it is. If you can make a set of decals for Skull 11, I definitely want one. I'm having vinyl masks laser-cut for the U.N.Spacy lettering (since white decals aren't gonna work particularly well on a black or gunmetal surface). I'm sure I could provide sets for others as well... on an equally limited basis, of course.
