    I accept your challenge, sir! Guys, feel free to bash (or defend) The Last Jedi in the appropriate thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/43363-star-wars-episode-viii-the-last-jedi-on-home-media-mar-13-2018/?page=38 The Force Awakens toys were crap, but The Last Jedi line was a significant improvement across the board: Bash the film all you want, but the toys were the best Hasbro had given us in nearly a decade.

    Dare to compare! They both nailed the anime color. The reds are almost identical!

    You guys realize Shizuka's just punkin' y'all, right? My most recent purchase:

    ET Zeta in da house! First impressions, out of the box: It's the Evolution Toy Eta, only in red. The good news is, it's no worse than the Eta... The bad news is, it's no better. The Houquet pilot figure looks terrific. Like the Eta before it, it's hands-down the finest-looking Legioss toy ever produced... ...and, like the Eta before it, it's unjustifiably expensive for its relatively poor manufacturing quality. It shares all the advantages of the Eta, including the ideal proportions and superior articulation, as well as all the disadvantages we've come to expect from Evolution Toy... ...which is to say, it looks like a dream and handles like a nightmare. If you have the earlier ET Legioss release, you know what to expect; there are no unpleasant surprises here. Minor cosmetic changes aside, it's basically the same figure. Apart from the badly-needed (and much-appreciated) addition of a sliding mechanism for the shoulder-mounted sensor array, this Evolution Toy has not evolved.

    The eighth, by my count. You obviously don't collect 'em.

    You've got some very cool customs there, man! And I like your Macross fire truck.

    Oh man, I'd forgotten how plain it looked without the Premium Finish... almost like an unpainted test shot.

    It shows a lot more potential than anything with Cavill's Superman, that's for sure...

    It's easy to make a good-looking Bruticus -- even HasTak managed (with 3P add-ons) -- but this is the first (and only) Vortex to match the Sunbow animation model.

    That's, like, THREE TIMES what I paid for mine last year. Wait for the next one, Checkmate.

    Disney probably wouldn't have cast Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man to begin with. Sorry, was that political?

    Even at CHUG scale, $120 is a great price for -- Oh. Just the lynx.

    Depends on the company... although Hot Toys certainly sets the standard these days. I still use a colon myself.
  14. tekering
    I think "customized" is the word you're looking for. Still looks a little too dark to me, but much better than your earlier attempt.

    Yeah, but what wouldn't be? That series was the finest animation I've ever seen on TV. Good point. Writing, direction, performance, pacing, plot, music... character design alone does not define whether a show is any good or not. Hmm... Looks more Genndy Tartakovsky's work to me. Heavily inspired, at least...

    Man, that's a bad-ass figure... but what are you covering up at the bottom of the pic?
  17. tekering
    What, this cover? Obviously, they couldn't be bothered to have someone check their Japanese text before they went to print.
  18. tekering
    I think a picture is worth a thousand words, that's what I think.

    The intakes on the shoulders are a deal-breaker for me. Why can't they rotate forward to be perpendicular, like the Masterpiece seekers can? It seems silly for MakeToys to try so hard for additional cartoon accuracy, but fail to do what HasTak has done for over a decade...

    He's much more prominent in The Headmasters.
  21. tekering
    Something like this, perhaps?
  22. tekering
    Wow, that's desperate. FansProject has decided to resurrect their Steel Core mold from six years ago, stick a new head on it, and pretend it's Grimlock? And to think they used to be an important part of the third-party market... Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

    Looks like nice, clean work... from what I can see. If you have a light source in front of your subject -- as opposed to above it -- the figure wouldn't be so obscured by shadows.
  24. tekering
    Not a problem in space. Love it, Shizuka!
