    "Non-scale" is an industry-standard abbreviation that means "We're not concerned with accuracy, we're not interested in consistency, and we're perplexed by arithmetic." 🙄

    There's no school like the oldskool! Given ARII literally painted over the line art, I'd say that's the best reference to work from.

    I assumed this was another series of Japanese-animated shorts, like the first season... It turns out these aren't Japanese, and are therefore best watched in English instead.

    ...and that's why it sold out in minutes. Never frakkin' mind, then. 😡

    Micro Galaxy Squadron, eh? Apart from the Falcon, those look pretty good. Being Target exclusives, we're unlikely to see them distributed outside of North America. 😐

    Metal Gear Solid? 🤨

    He was clearly as excited as the interviewer was. 😅

    I see they've made some significant improvements.

    The gradation on the rear stabilizers is particularly impressive. [ . . . ] "MENOETIUS?" 🤨

    Couldn't be worse than Godzilla vs. Kong... 😫

    The only one? I thought Saru was a quintessentially Star Trek character... In fact, he acted more like Spock than Spock did in Discovery. 😅

    I know you're being facetious, but that's actually an important concept in Japanese sci-fi... What made Robotech stand out among shows like Transformers, Robotix, M.A.S.K. etc. was a story element that American cartoons lacked: the ability to empathize with the antagonist, establishing the possibility of peaceful coexistence. Once communication was achieved, mutual understanding led to a cease of hostilities. We see this with the Gamilas in Yamato, with the Zentraedi in Macross, and with the Invid in Mospeada (and even intended for Southern Cross, where the Zor would've been revealed to be simply humans displaced in time).

    That's The Dark Knight Rises armory. It's quite different from the armory seen in The Dark Knight (as are the figures).

    Oh, the paint app's are awful, no question about that... but I don't think it looks anything like what you'd see in animation. 🤨 Nor does fabric clothing, for that matter. 🙄

    I like the sculpted fists. Who's he fixin' to give a beatdown? 😅 How could a metallic gold-and-silver finish possibly be considered "anime-accurate?" 🤨

    Not in grey, it doesn't. 😑 Is that the color they're going for in The Flash movie? A grey Batwing, to match Michael Keaton's hair? 😐

    You were without power for THREE DAYS? 😲

    Nicely played. We NEED one of these in 1:60!

    I think there would be more demand for a 1:60 Spartan than a Phalanx, but I'd enthusiastically back either proposal... Of course, there's gotta be enough interest to finance the effort. Thanks for listening, Cap'n. Patience, gentlemen. The Master seems more interested in pursuing Macross or Mospeada projects for the moment. Save your pennies in the meantime, so you're ready when the time comes! 😇

    Are you assuming they'll release more than one color scheme? 🤔

    As much as I love the idea of a 1:48 Destroid (and I really do), we already have Destroid models and toys in numerous other scales... and not one of them is a complete set. 😢 Imai never made a 1:100 Monster. Imai never made a 1:72 Phalanx (or Monster). Wave never made a 1:72 Spartan (or Monster). Hi-Metal R (approx. 1:83) never made a Tomahawk or Phalanx. Yamato (1:60) never made a Phalanx, Spartan or Monster. After nearly four decades of this, I'm not going to start a new Destroid collection that I know will never be complete. 🤕 Instead, I humbly suggest you: Offer a 1:72 Monster to complete our Imai, Wave (or Moscato!) Destroid collections, or... Offer a 1:60 Phalanx or Spartan* for our Yamato or Arcadia collections, or... Offer a 1:83 Phalanx or Tomahawk for our HMR collections. Filling any one of these holes in our displays would be preferable to creating a whole new (and much bigger) hole. 😅 *I'd spend $400+ on a new 1:60 Spartan in a heartbeat. Hikaru actually piloted one onscreen! 😃

    "Be careful not to lose those tiny parts!" says Hoquet. ☺️

    These are the tiniest figures I've ever painted. 🤕 The sculpted detail is fabulous, but I should probably ignore the faces entirely from now on. 😐
