    WOW! $329 is a very reasonable price, if the Kickstarter succeeds. Pledge your support now!

    That's the KitzConcept, of course. The pornstar mesh bodysuit is a dead giveaway. 😝

    Oh, I like the sound of that. It definitely helped Godzilla Minus One. 👍

    Reaction to the film has been surprisingly polarized, much as it was with Prometheus; some embrace the positives, while others highlight the negatives. Tim Brayton's stellar review is one of the most thorough I've read, and one of the most critical as well: https://www.alternateending.com/2024/08/alien-romulus-2024.html

    It's neither articulated nor posable, that much is clear... 🤔

    I love your shelf of T-800 endoskeletons. 😎 I see Toynami products in your display... 😝

    I think you've already proven as much. 👍

    Great pics, @jvmacross, but... it does look more like a rave than a cockpit, doesn't it? 😅

    Oh, a new Jurassic Park trilogy figure! That's Dieter Stark, Peter Stomare's character from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

    Not before Christmas, likely.

    Yeah, that was announced SEVEN YEARS ago. I'll believe it when I see it. 🤨

    As much as it's off-topic here, I can't ignore this: It appears in both the first and the fourth Bubblegum Crisis OAVs. We now return you to your regularly-scheduled transforming motorcycles. 😉

    Christ. 😒 NETFLIX gives us a CG-animated Transformers series set on Cybertron in the distant past, with all the characters looking exactly G1, and it's appropriately dark and serious... but so frustratingly hamstrung by its limited budget that every voice actor is a non-union hack and every character model gets reused ad nauseum. Paramount gives us a CG-animated Transformers film set on Cybertron in the distant past, with all the characters looking generic and childish, and it's wall-to-wall jokes... but so well-funded that every voice actor is an established movie star, and so heavily-marketed that a whole generation of kids will associate juvenile humour with the brand. After 40 years of this franchise, it's sad to realize that James Roberts' run on IDW comics (and Transformers: Prime on television) was the pinnacle of the brand... and it's all been downhill for the last decade and change. 😐

    Testing colors and decals: I want markings reminiscent of Macross, but visually distinct. We've got plenty of reference for detailing ATAC, TASC and GMP armor, but the mecha is uncharted territory... 🤔

    Preorders are expected to go up by December, apparently: With confirmation of size, finally! The 1:100 Master Grade Gundam (ver.2.0) stands 18cm tall. 🔒

    As a massive Linkin Park fan myself, I wouldn't say The Emptiness Machine is "better than their usual stuff," but I absolutely love it nonetheless. It's polished and clean and perhaps better suited to mainstream tastes than the ragged, raw stuff from the early days of the band, where it felt less about making great music and more about processing trauma... Honestly, hearing Emily Armstrong scream those lyrics the way only Chester could, it absolutely brought me to tears of joy. I was not surprised to learn that, over a few years and a few sessions with surviving band members, they slowly came to the realization that they could actually put the band back together. They weren't looking for a new vocalist, but Emily's sound suited the band so well that it suddenly seemed like a foregone conclusion. I'm hotly anticipating the release of their new album on Sunday, and I'm overjoyed that Linkin Park has finally risen from Chester's ashes.

    They cost me ¥3800 each in the boxes... Now I see they're ¥3300 on the cards. Not "half price," but certainly "still a little up there." 😉

    I love the blister card packaging, but there's no way I'm double-dipping on those expensive little figures just for the cardbacks... 😒

    I imagine a lot of us made the same decision, myself included. Even at 40% off, the Fugu was still the superior option.

    In other words: "We knew our product would be criticized in the English-speaking world because of the missing pilot figure, and because you Macross fans always complain about QC, so we decided to sell as many as we could locally before our international customers trash its reputation on social media." Hollywood executives often decide not to screen films in advance for critics for the same reason. 😒

    Not roughly, no... Precisely in scale. As far as I've been able to calculate, it's exactly 1:48th (to scale with all the Moscato Bioroids, Invid, Sentinel Mospeada and DX Chogokin VF-1s). 😊

    Thanks to your feedback and encouragement, guys, I've made a couple more adjustments... ...and tried to push my digital kitbashing skills a little further. Landing gear! Even more display options now. 😎 I've also replaced the single-thruster heel design with the double-thruster heels more consistently seen in robot mode. I'm hoping to get a couple of these little Logans painted up before my Tanku-Robo kits arrive. ☺️

    I was suspecting as much myself, and I appreciate the confirmation.
  25. tekering
    Definite improvement. 👍 While you're at it, you might consider painting the red sensor lights on the nosecone, to match all your other VF-1 toys...
