Xstoys should knwo this answer if the glue is cyanoacrylate. There is a solution that undoes super glue. but I dont what it is called. Its liek the exact opposite of Zip Kicker.

Uh how does one steer? lean? I guess it is a motorized unicycle.

Ok let me clarify what i understand and remember. At the end of Exosquad there was an alien race that was suppose to come in and threaten all of the universe in the realm of Exo Squad. That alien race was to be Robotech. This was going to be the salvation HG needed however (and Im hypothesising) relations fell through the toys were made obviously however somethign went wrong and the show was canceled.

Whoa buddy but if your'e George Lucas you can cast a nobody liek Ray Park for Darth Maul and give him crap for lines. Anyway most likely they might go with nobodys. However I think Cobra Comander has to be a nobody with the real cobra commander/starscream voice over every thing.

I thought there were plans for a 12 inch action figure. Also think how much people pay for a 4 inch Gundam Fix. This is not so bad

My friend and I watched this yesterday. It was pretty good. It is the telling of a woman's life as an actress but more importantly her strive to find a man she met only for a brief moment. Of course in that brief/chance meeting she fell in love with him. THis was during WWII aka The 15 Year War. The man was a painter and being hounded by authorities because he was a anti-govt rebel. These two guys one a camera man and the other a producer go to interview this actress who is now 70 years old. After her last movie (which was a sci fi film) she went into hiding and disappeared from the public she was only about 40 years old then. These two guys manage an interview with her and the Producer (who happens to be probably the biggest fan of hers) gives her a key on a string which the painter gave her and symbolized her love for him. The key brought back all the memories of her search. The interview went by as a flashback. WE would actualy enter the world of the movie. Not the set of shooting but actualy as i the movie was real. THe interviewees were present in the world of the film as well almost as non-diagetic people. Kinda like observers who are invisible and cannot interact with the world they are in. this occurs many times we enter into a Edo period film world and then some scenes which seem like her real life are actually films she made. This method of story telling is brilliant however it was a bit confusing to tell apart the real world from the films. Whether what is spoken in the world of the film is a apart of the movie or if she is superimposing her work over what she experienced in her life. only later do we find out what happened to her love, the painter. This film is well worth watching.

Not everything looks good with fast packs. MPCs dont

Am I the only one who knew this? I mean did I miss this on the boards? Well this was listed in Model Graphix. And acording to HLJ it is a ltd release kit http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?HSG65768

See the proportion difference

Armor comparison. it is a little bit shorter

Leg armor revealed. It is a nice look

See the cover comes off? both do. Hmm copy of Strike 1/55

Looks nice though

Notice how thin the MPC armor is?

I picked up a Hikaru VF-1S armor pack from Kevin at the World Con 3 to go along with my 20 dollar Hikaru VF-1J MPC. I have to say for 25 dollars it is a great deal. That is until I put it on the MPC. First lets take a look at the Fast Packs. When i bought them I immediately opened them up for examination. I showed them around to everyone. Kidk, XStoys, even Shwan. Looks wise they have a nice lookign product. then we looked at the boosters. they seem a bit skinny. Kinda like the banpresto supers. Other wise the detial of teh removable cover is a nice touch. The nose cone comes off but I dont know why. Its not like HG could make a Strike legally. Also it uses a trik similar to the Banpresto to keep the fast packs on the back. The arm armors are nothing to rave about they look like any other arm armour. however they are collapsible. The whoel thing extends open and closes onto the arm. so it is a neat trick rather than the snap on bandai. although i like the snap on bandai. The leg armor box (behind the legs) have the same telescoping trick to them. The side armor use magnets to keep teh outer cover on. (Chris B I think they copied your 1/48 Club M) j/k but the resemblance is uncannny.One gripe and maybe its because I used VF-1S armor on a VF-1J but the side armor would not press fit and stay onto the armor behind the legs. you know how the Bandai has a box thing and the side armor plus into that box? well the MPC does that but it refuses to stay on so I had to super glue it in place. The large missles are the worst feature of the package. Toynami panel lined the entire thing. armor and all. Most pof it is sublte but the missles are a yellowy white and teh panel lines are thinck black. plus the method of attachement ont he wings is very weak. you breath on them and they fall off. Due to teh lack of clicking like the Bandai or locking positions like the Yamato the MPC has difficulty in keeping the legs in fighter mode. they have a tendency to fall down regardless of HG's "wonder magnets"

Look how gorgeous this Hase is !!!! too bad he was running LATE!!!!!

even more pics

More pics

Here it is with the addition of Steve's Friend's beautiful Has battroid edit: sorry folks My info was incorrect. The true creator of the Hase Batt is Steve not his friend. so everyone marvel at Steve.

My good old loose VF-1S Joke Machine that I found after 15 years of looking for one.

I hollowed out the visor and used hase parts

Hey Fulcy took your idea and made it work. I couldnt find D rods or styrene for that matter so I used wooden rods.

Oh I beg to differ I have seen drawings of SD GI- Joe Plus bobble heads and what do you consider the Playschool Starwars? those are SD too.

Thats a no on the decals. It never came with any. the planes are about 3-4 inches long.

Dont worry. With Rohby's Excellent recasts I will make an Elint very soon. Unless some one (ahem Kidkorrupt) beats me to it.
