    Well, it's more of a swing than a slide... as is typical of Legioss toys. That's a thin hinge you don't want to put stress on, especially the shearing force required to rotate the arms at the shoulder: I recommend stabilizing that joint with a pair of plyers so it doesn't get twisted the wrong way when rotating the arm. You'll likely scratch up the paint on the joint, but paint scratches are preferably to a broken shoulder joint, right? Even so, this is as high as I managed to get the gun arm; about a quarter-turn was the best I was able to achieve.

    Okay, no more of this "living vicariously" shtt. Riobot Legioss in da house!

    Exactly my reaction to the film. In fact, I couldn't stop at the GT40 Mk.II... I had to have one of those sexy Ferrari 330 P3s, too! A kind of "Max & Miriya," if you will... Expensive toys, but well worth it.

    I imagine NECA hates exclusives as well... but if they can't sell the whole toy line at retail, I'd rather they offer exclusives as sales incentives, instead of simply cancelling production of figures (or vehicles) that otherwise wouldn't be viable. Sometimes exclusives are the only way a toy gets made... ...and sometimes releasing multiple paint variants is the only way a toy gets made. If a single version won't sell enough to justify the cost of production, releasing "onscreen color" and "studio color" variants has a greater chance of satisfying picky fans with particular tastes (like us), and will entice the obsessive fans to buy multiples of the same toy (like us).

    NewAge figures are definitely a little smaller, on average, than their Magic Square, Iron Factory or DX9 "War in Pocket" contemporaries.

    Awesome. After Roy, Lisa and the Chinese dress Minmei, I'll be able to pre-order a fourth figure from them next month! I'll bet Max goes up for pre-order before we ever see another figure actually released... It's starting to resemble Robotech RPG Tactics.

    Don't be deceived by the misleading advertising. The terms "removable armour" and "fully poseable articulation" are mutually-exclusive... and that's obviously two completely different figures.

    To be honest, most toy shops in this day-and-age are run by collectors renting retail space to show off their collections, and are happy to sell you just about any item they can readily replace online (for less than they charged you, of course). There's this incredibly disorganized shop in my neighborhood, piled floor to ceiling with packaged figures and toys of all kinds, and nothing has any price on it, even. If you can manage to crawl your way around the obstacle course to find something you want, you've got to bring it up to the counter and wait for the guy to look up its value online before he quotes you a price.

    Yeah, that's only two ships. Typical Eaglemoss.

    That second episode was much better. The editing was tighter, more toys were presented, and it was only half about COVID-19.

    I used to laugh at posts like these -- like, how would you ever hide that monstrosity from your fiancé? -- but having preordered the Spiral Studios King Ghidorah, I now find myself in the same position. I'm gonna have to tell my wife it's a futures investment in... the speculative aftermarket value... or something.

    Way to keep the Star Wars goin', Mog.

    That graffiti is incredibly convincing.

    Love the Grievous pose there, Mog. It seems this thread is now in the hands of the Empire.

    "As you wish."

    I thought you'd appreciate that.

    That is remarkable, groundbreaking packaging for two reasons: The traditional carded blister is protected by a window box. The figure is packaged facing the card, so his back is visible through the blister. Amazing.

    What a bizarre policy.

    I think you did a good job with the stock kit.

    There's some genuinely interesting debate going on here of late, particularly thanks to the participation of @jeniusornome. The failures of Robotech will always be of relevance to Macross fans outside of Japan, so I see no reason not to let the discussion continue... whether or not the comic book in question will.
