NECA made those great 7" Hicks and Hudson figures. Maybe it's time to learn about hydroshrink?

I had such hopes for those figures, but the face sculpts are horrific.

Power loader looks cool though.

It's hard to get sense of scale from the photo

Yeow! Well that's a must buy.

Also, I wonder if the reason why they didn't let you hear her say his name was due to another reveal that perhaps his real name is something like Aejon...more in line with Targaryon names. While the reveal wasn't a big surprise, and as I said above I would've preferred a quick explanation of R and L's true relationship, I absolutely LOVED the build up of music and the focus on the baby's face and then transition to Jon. It was beautiful.

As for my small criticism, maybe HBO is holding some things back to show in a new series that would cover Westeros leading up to and including Robert's rebellion? If not a full series then just a limited series. That would be awesome.

I would totally watch Dunk and Egg: The Series

Yes. I have a takatoku gbp set that fits on my bandai vf1j.

Maybe someday well get Royal-T?

The stunt fight budget must be running low, or more likely they're hoarding it for next episode.

Splitter camo?

I'm a museum professional. I can tell you that no matter what, all plastics are going to degrade eventually. Sorry to say, but you can't stop it from happening. The question is how long will it take and what are you willing to do to retard the process?

Does anyone have any original star wars figures that are starting to feel sticky? That's the plastic breaking down.

If you want to get crazy, you can put everything into a nitrogen atmosphere, but I doubt anyone is willing to go that far

Otherwise, its what was posted, keep your stuff out of direct light, extreme humidity or heat, and above all, try to limit fluctuations between temperatures.

Most materials are fine, even in non-ideal conditions, as long as the temp/humidity is stable. When you have a lot of fluctuations, the materials expand and contact rapidly, which leads to accelerated deterioration.

I know I'm not saying anything new, but even the best museums can only do so much to slow down what will happen to all plastics eventually.

Enjoy your toys and models! They won't be around forever, but neither will we!

What does HG even have to tweet about? Shadow Rising still coming out. Stay tuned.

I still suspect that HG is nothing more than a tax write off at this point, in which case the convention stuff is to keep up appearances, but who really knows.

I almost broke one also. It plied and hopefully I could put it back without breakage.

Will have a closer look to see how easy it is to replicate in shapeways.

I know shapeways has specific tolerance crieria for wsf. I'd be happy to have one without the vent holes or whatever they are, if those are an issue.

Has anyone ever put a replacement armor parts missile pylon on shapeways?

You can count me as a member of the broken pylon club, so I'm just curious.

It's true. If it was a work for hire, then he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

The new trailer doesn't even look remotely interesting. #retrogrouch

Are the A models actually coming too though?

Maybe Bandai doesn't actually have the license for Max and Milia and they have to use the alternate color scheme to get around it?

Ok, I'm just playing...

Has anyone taken off the light blue accents using rubbing alcohol?

Love that green canopy

ROBOTECH INDUSTRY PANEL:

Tommy Yune of Harmony Gold USA presents the latest developments in the Robotech universe, from awesome new products to the live action film in
development at Sony Pictures. Jonathan Brands also joins in to reflect on the development of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, which debuted 10 years ago.

But the purpose of those thrusters is for forward propulsion in GERWALK mode... hence GERWALK thrusters... hence GERWALK thruster covers.

EDIT - yes, this is a silly conversation, since those thrusters are covered n fighter mode anyway, there's no real need for a cover flap anyway.

Gerwalk-Thruster cover

Better?

How's the dropship size compare with the old micro machines action fleet version?

I hope they eventually do Apone
