    Hi-Metal R

    You don't need another, sh9000?

    Wow, the yellow and orange don't match AT ALL. This will require a complete repaint. Apples and oranges, man, but here you are:

    So do I. They're very photogenic. Especially the forest camo!

    We might as well lock down the thread for a while. The film's still more than a year away from release, and it'll be months before we have any actual news to discuss anyway.

    All the live-action footage was shot and edited on standard-definition video, so a horrible upscale would be the best you could hope for.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    tekering replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Well, I suppose the Yamato YF-21 could use a little more tampo... it looks rather plain and toyetic next to the DX YF-19 (even with the most egregious markings removed).

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    tekering replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Seems pretty solid to me. I can't compare it to the Advance, but it's a lot more secure than the ol' Yammie, that's for sure. Is that in reference to the fuel filter?

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    tekering replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I removed the offending white paint with Mr. Color lacquer thinner. Surprisingly, it had little effect on the black paint underneath... However, the black stripes required repainting anyway, since there was no black paint underneath the white UN Spacy lettering. Still, simple enough to remove and repaint without any sanding required. Here she is next to the old Yammie:

    That's called "damning with faint praise." But it's true, the Evolution Toy is (unfortunately) the best Legioss toy yet produced.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    tekering replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Ah, but his commentary is frustratingly repetitive. He says the same things over and over again, and takes forever to get to the point of what he wants to say. Even by Japanese standards, it's infuriating. Still, he makes the transformation look relatively easy, and I had no more trouble getting it to battroid than he did. And the battroid mode is fabulous. Having fixed the offensive tampo on the wings, I'm now completely satisfied with the figure, and may order a second while they're still available at retail rates. I have no QC issues, no objections to the design or execution of the figure, and nothing to complain about. But that may have a lot to do with my expectations... See, I've never handled or even seen the VF-19 Advance, nor the Arcadia YF-19, so my expectations are largely based on the two Yamato releases I own. Those versions are far less accurate, far too simplistic, and far too lacking in detail to satisfy in any mode. Consider this simple comparison: Bandai's new release didn't break on me when I tried to transform it; no pieces came flying off as I handled it; nothing was loose or floppy; and the product doesn't feel cheap or hollow. Furthermore, comments like onnasake's led me to expect a much more difficult and frustrating experience than I had with the figure, thus it has pretty much exceeded all my expectations... and I've barely begun to experiment with all the accessories and display options available. I absolutely love this toy!

    The Batcave diorama is mostly repurposed parts from the TMNT "Secret Sewer Lair" playset, with some Ubiquitous extensions and other miscellaneous accessories... oh, and a repainted DST Alfred.

    No, it's not really an issue. The arms compress properly; they just don't hold their positions very securely. Since the Zeta came with little Dark Mospeada ride armor, will the Dark Legioss come with little Bartley ride armor?

    That's weird. Mine says it's shipping tomorrow.

    That doesn't seem to be the case with Star Wars merchandise... Revoltech Yamaguchi, S.H.Figuarts, MAFEX, and Hasbro have all released competing six-inch Star Wars figures.

    Geez, what an ugly group of girls.

    Just preordered mine from Amazon.jp.

    I think the "social justice" politics extend beyond merely casting... That sort of social criticism is a defining characteristic of the SJW movement, isn't it?
  20. tekering
    Yeah, that looks way off-scale. I bet the designers at TakaraTomy hate you as much as they hate Michael Bay.

    Thanks, Noel. I'm still trying to find the optimum lighting conditions.

    You won't be getting your Minmei until November, then...?
  23. tekering
    It sounds absurd, and completely unjustifiable to me.
  24. tekering
    Actually, it's ridiculously bad news. If they try to market 60cm Zentraedi figures, the line will implode long before they get around to releasing the main human cast. I'd rather not see them bankrupt the company, now that they've finally starting making a product worth buying...

    Yes, but she has gravitas, and that's something the MCU was sorely lacking before Thanos.
