    "New, from Kenner's Star Wars: The Last Jedi toy line, it's the Crait Resistance Base playset!" "Featuring a retractable shield door..." "Working elevators for transporting personnel to the Ski Speeder hangar..." "...and an emergency exit through the crystal foxhole." "Desperate to defend the base from the First Order, General Leia confers with her Resistance fighters." "At the last minute, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker arrives to save the day!" "Action figures sold separately." Looks like something the old guard at Kenner might've produced back in the day, eh?

    Sorry, it never occurred to me that a Bubblegum Crisis fan such as yourself wouldn't already have them... It's not like there's a lot of competing BGC product, after all. It's a glass table I bought from a second-hand furniture shop a few years back: The background is just a large sheet of "Ultra White" photography studio paper. Crap factory, just like Toynami's.

    Good news, my friend! Having completed rough assembly on both kits, I can now confirm the Imai 1:12 Mospeada bikes scale perfectly with Aoshima's 1:12 Moto-slave. Aoshima's Priss figure (above right) is clearly too small, as previously noted; however, we don't need her. Atelier-Sai already released a proper 1:12 scale Priss in hardsuit, pre-painted and fully-articulated. Even mounted on the bike, Atelier-Sai's figure looks much better... so much so, in fact, that I might get three more of Aoshima's Moto-slaves, and paint one up for each of their "S.M.S." Knight Sabers figures.

    I've preordered mine from Amazon.jp.

    For well over a thousand years, English speakers have ignored foreign pronunciation rules and just applied their own phonetic conventions instead... which is why we pronounce karaoke as "carry-okie" instead of "kahra-okay." To mispronounce Legioss is simply part of that proud tradition (and perfectly consistent with English phonics, at least). If Tatsunoko really gave a damn, they would've used a spelling like "Leggy Ohss" anyway... and we wouldn't have this trivial problem. And yet, despite repeated apologies, you do (ironically enough) pronounce "Gakken" correctly.

    Having never seen "The False Songstress," I had little interest in the YF-25 Prophecy... but I've admired it from afar, and -- seeing its value going up and up on the secondary market -- I finally decided to get one while I could still afford it. I'm glad I did. It's a gorgeous bird.

    Regult reinforcements have arrived!

    I stand corrected! Your clarification is much appreciated. I do think "android" is entirely inappropriate for a piloted mecha, but that's a different issue entirely... So how about that Kidz Concept Robotech toy line, eh?

    It's a portmanteau of "battle" and "humanoid." Just because Japanese can't be bothered to look up (let alone remember) how to spell "battle" doesn't mean we have to legitimize their lazy ignorance. "Battroid" is just plain wrong, and always has been. And yeah, nothing changes with regards to rights until the existing contracts expire.

    I thought it was as good as anyone could've expected a sequel to The Force Awakens to be...

    Hey, the Evo Zeta comes with Dark Legioss figures! Are you having trouble positioning the hand so that it fits under the forearm?
  15. tekering
    "Battloid" isn't a ROBOTECH-specific designation... it's the proper romanization of バトロイド, which comes directly from Macross.

    If you have the modeling skills, it shouldn't be hard to modify the "Storm Attacker" to a cruiser mode SDF-1... Easier still would be modifying the existing cruiser kit with more TV-accurate parts from the upcoming Storm Attacker kit.

    Why the hell would they ship you the head separately...?
  18. tekering
    Actually, mechaninac was asking for a TV version SDF-1, not an upscaled Hasegawa half-assed DYRL retool...
  19. tekering
    No, dick7077 just forgot to rotate them. His 1:3000 Yamato DYRL Macross is mistransformed.

    Well, mine's "in the clear," as it were: ...which is more than I can say for my Aoshima, CMs, or Toynami birds.

    That's a painting by concept artist Patrick Rosander.

    Spoken like someone who has literally never watched a single episode of any of the series. The Orville is Seth McFarlane wanting to be Star Trek; Discovery is Star Trek wanting to be Battlestar Galactica. ...If you're a Ron Moore fan, you may appreciate both!

    Okay, despite your broken syntax I think I understand what you were trying to say now... "...they never made any model kits of the Strike Dagger, apart from a crappy non-grade." What you meant by "non grade" is still open for debate, however.
  24. tekering
    I question your assumption, sir. The 1/12 Aoshima Priss figure isn't to scale, but I believe the Motoslave bike is. I would provide proof, but I haven't assembled the kit yet...

    Please show us pictures of the mini-figures!
