    Urotsukidōji actually predated AKIRA by over a year... and being a "hentai" title, was produced, distributed, and marketed in a significantly different manner than the mainstream theatrical distribution AKIRA enjoyed. It's difficult to compare the two.

    So, how do you like your Godzilla? Hero, or villain? Japanese, or American? Classic guy-in-a-suit, or modern CGI?

    Parts storage.

    You guys are too much fun. Sure did. I started with a foamcore base, and a few trashed vehicles... ...built the foundation of a burnt-out building... ...and added a couple N-gauge train accessory sets. Then I got some cheap gardening supplies: Crushed, mixed, and painted them up: Added some miniature steel beams: ...and trashed the place. Finally, I added a few surrounding buildings and set it up on my balcony. N gauge is 1:150 scale.

    Which box? Mine came in three. The shipping carton contains six sets... Each set has its own nondescript TWE box... ...and each box contains an inner package with images of the Valkyrie and accessories. Man, I sure wish I'd been alive back in your day. I grew up in the '80s, with Transformers, GI Joe, TMNT, and Centurions.

    The covers aren't even removable, man. Sure, yeah. Oh, I see where you're going with this...

    I make my own rubble, thanks. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

    Nice to finally have a complete DX Skull-001. It's really difficult to assume the iconic two-handed pose, however, because the armor on the arms is so long, it leaves no clearance for the micro-missile pods...

    Yes, the reissue shipped earlier this month.

    I'm very happy with how well this week's acquisitions scale with my N-gauge city diorama... An epic showdown is imminent!

    X-Plus Gigantic Series Godzilla 2019 has stomped his way into my city diorama! Most expensive figure I've ever bought.

    Oh, his camouflage scheme looks more like a remedial art school project.

    Bandai knows what sells, I guess. While this will be much too big for an HM-R display, I'd get one anyway... even if you have no intention of building it. You can always sell it off if-and-when you decide you don't want it, and likely make a profit for your trouble.

    Looking good, @jenius.

    Well, I sure as hell will!

    The same analogy can be applied to a host of recent sequels, reboots and spin-offs... and that's the real danger of appealing to nostalgia. You're treading on "holy ground" for many. That's usually the case with any show, of course, and yet some of them build up impossible expectations based on decades-old first impressions... leading to inevitable disappointment and fan backlash. Star Wars is likely the worst offender in this category... with Star Trek a close second.

    Aside from the undersized Shogo figure (which is admittedly, a problem with every transformable Garland toy), the Arcadia is perfect. Can't wait for their Photo-Garland to ship!

    The figure's based on the Part III costume, so that was my poor attempt to homage the 3D gimmick. I placed lots of little LEDs to provide the appropriate lighting.

    Where's the pre-order?

    Just her, but the original four moto-slaves were identical, just color-coded for each of the four girls... so I'm painting one for each of the Atelier Sai hardsuit figures to ride.

    Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy Friday the 13th.

    The Decepticons in Age of Extinction weren't Transformers at all, they were colonies of nanobots that could form any object at will. Your "primitive mind" understands the core concept of the brand much better than Michael Bay or Ehren Kruger ever will.
  24. tekering
    But these aren't toys, and they aren't marketed to boys. Kitz Concept labels them as "collectibles," and they're sold to adult males, who typically prefer female characters... especially in Japan.

    No transformable motorcycle fan should be without one! I actually own four of those kits.
