    Come and gone, yes.

    Apparently, these re-released figures with Cartoon Network artwork will be Walmart-exclusives. Good luck finding MOC samples...

    That's got nothing to do with Evangelion. He's describing the premise of Westworld season 3. 😎

    Neither, I fear. The third film is particularly problematic; after the premiere of 3.33, even the Japanese voice actors were at a loss to explain the film.

    Light grey would be most anime-accurate... ...or perhaps silver was the intention...?

    Look, it's not that I mind having you in my lap, girl... ...but there's no way the canopy's gonna close with you there!

    There are alternatives... Arcadia's 1:60 figures are, as always, roughly equal in size to Bandai's 1:48th.

    Damn you, Deformation Space! Now I have to buy a whole 'nother set of MP seekers!

    And thank the God Emperor for it! The most annoying and distracting element of previous film versions have been those cheesy rotoscoped eyes.

    Right back at you, Cap'n. The empty chest cavity certainly suggested as much. 😅 Oh yeah, I prepared a cockpit pattern for the "Middle Period" Bioroids as well: ...but I'm not even sure the cockpits are the same size, actually. At this point, it's really just an intellectual exercise anyway.

    (assuming retailers actually order them, of course) 😅

    It remains an option, but I usually prefer more secure attachment methods. If I can refine the production process, I'd like to make multiples (for the upcoming Biopsychers, at the very least)... I'm printing these patterns on clear decal film, so I can make several identical cockpit modules: I still have to figure out what to use for the cockpit cradle, however. That will require a great deal more effort. Polyester putty, maybe...? 🤔

    Thanks to you guys! It's the attention and feedback from users in this thread that's keeping me motivated. Normally I'm loathe to show my work in such excruciating detail, but I wanted to demonstrate what a difference a few random decals can make...

    Those large Hobby Base ball joints are really stiff. I like 'em. BlueBoi has proven the most challenging to paint, particularly the head... ...but he's finally starting to look the part.

    Fat chance, guys. Star Trek 2009 was a huge hit, making more money than any previous Trek film -- more than most of them put together, even! -- and generated two sequels of its own. Playmates still had the toy rights back then, when Toys 'R' Us was still a retail giant and Star Trek was finally financially viable again, yet they bungled it so badly that they only got a handful of figures released before cancelling the line entirely (leaving us with both an incomplete crew and an incomplete bridge playset). 😑 Into Darkness and Beyond were ignored entirely. When Discovery was about to be launched, McFarlane picked up the merchandising rights, hoping Star Trek could be successful again... only to completely abandon their plans once they saw the ratings. Now, with nothing but the ignominy of Prodigy to look forward to (and the bloated corpses of Picard and Discovery about to surface again), the rights get dumped back on Playmates... and does anyone in their right mind think that, in this retail environment, they'll be able to do anything with the franchise? 🤨 Not bloody likely.

    I figured the shape would've been a dead giveaway...

    Now that Roy has shipped, they've done the impossible and released two action figures within the same calendar year... within a six-month period, even! Is it too much to hope for a third before the year is out? 🤔 Of course it is. Nonetheless, they're definitely picking up the pace now.

    At least three, it would seem... and probably not deliberately deleted, since the superfluous "double post" mysteriously remains. Weird. Anyway, here are some key elements I'm using to upgrade the 'Lloyds: Namely, they are a set of double ball-joint parts from Hobby Base, a Master Grade Gouf (v.2) heat rod, and a "Cute Pony" hair accessory from DAISO.

    Oh sure, it looks like Hera. My problem is with the voice, specifically that distinctive Twi'lek accent, which was completely absent from Vanessa Marshall's performance in Rebels. Worse still, another inconsistency the voice director seems to have missed is the pronunciation of "Twi'lek" itself, which sounds like "twilight" when they say it in Rebels but "twee lick" in The Bad Batch. Make up your minds, guys!

    I would think not. After Unicron (and the upcoming Ark), the only Transformers-related product worth a HasLab investment would be a Cybertron playset... something like a Space Bridge elevator, perhaps.

    Macross figures

    I really need a Claudia figure to keep Roy occupied...
  24. tekering
    Fixed that for you. 😅

    That just means your Hulk isn't 1:12, buddy. 😅 He seems to scale well with a wide variety of my figures... And he comes armed to the teeth! 😬
