Yes, Tengaman. Because justice only needs one hand. I frickin' love Japan.

I wonder if there's any truth to the rumor about the hip kibble being able to slide around to the rear.- 17155 replies

I caved and went for the darker purple re-issue...mostly out of regret for missing out on him the first time.- 9275 replies

My gut says Deluxe figures might be too big for your Metroplex. Have you looked into getting World Smallest Transformers? WSTs are not too hard to find and KO's of them are cheap. KO's of the mini G1 combiners are easy to find too. I finally opened my Generations Jetfire. First thing I did was cut trim off the goofy rear stabilzers, those things looked real dumb imo. Alt mode makes a real jaunty looking jet, and I liked the aggressive profile the fast packs give. I don't like the rear landing gear; leader class needs more than just casters on his shins. I like bot made as well, despite the hollow spaces a lot of fans have pointed out. It's just the lack of wrist articulation that hurts the most. I could forgive that with Generations Roadbuster with it being a voyager but with a leader class Jetfire? Another gripe I have is with the ankles: instead of permanently having slanted ankles, how about just giving full ankle rockers? The production cost-cutting is quite prevalent with Jetfire, but I still don't regret getting one.- 17155 replies

1/1000 N-Nautilus Motorized Custom
Valkyrie Hunter D replied to arbit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This looks like a fun project. I don't know how much room you have to work with, but have you looked at R/C accessories like these: 1/144 scale RC products. Short of dismantling a BPX-01 or GX-64, they might have something you could use.- 32 replies

That's rough. I actually thought his health was getting better. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Iwata.

Those Citizen Set figures are MEGA tiny, like 1cm tiny. I know I'd probably lose them. And yes, the mini Devy figure goes with the set. It would've been nice if they were included with Utopia itself.- 9275 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Valkyrie Hunter D replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think the only thing Warbotron's Bruticus has going for it is its size. Frankly, it looks like an over detailed mess with all the engraved bits and pieces. If they had only toned that down a bit I would buy him. The only individual limb I like is Heavy Noisy with its decent looking tank alt mode. As for Utopia, it was hard at first to swallow the price, but that went all out the window once I started messing with him. Utopia's very sturdy-I'm not afraid of manhandling him and breaking something. I always wanted a better Metroplex so he's tops in my book.- 9275 replies

Face sculpts are expressionless and dull, so easy pass for me.

Lovely, thanks for that. Considering Sunstreaker's character and G1 likeness, I think chrome is a necessity for a MP of Sideswipe's narcissistic bro.- 9275 replies

I'm seeing a pattern here between 3rd party releases and official MPs. All we need is two more proposed 3rd party Jazz wannabes for TakaTomy to release their own.- 17155 replies

Robot Wars: USA vs Japan

So this...is how Robot Jox begins. I'm rooting for the Kuratas. Any mech whose fire control system is triggered by the pilot's smile doesn't deserve to lose.- 54 replies

Megazone 23 finally on blu-ray
Valkyrie Hunter D replied to oshanmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Prices for Japanese anime Blu-rays never cease to astound me. I would love to get this, but I'd rather spend $300 on a valk, regardless of the cool extras. -

Last I heard, he's trying to find an appropriate power adapter. Apparently it didn't have one. If this thing is real, can you imagine how much he can get for it?

Yup, I really want an Astrotrain, but I don't want to deal with TF Source and after a good long look, DX9's Chigurh wasn't ringing my bell (shuttle mode was too stumpy Tesla is in my Pile o' Loot, and I think he will look splendid standing with MP Wheeljack. I just want to find a nice sniper rifle for him.- 9275 replies

Valkyrie Hunter D replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Dang it, I was telling myself that if ToyWorld ever made a cartoon accurate redeco of their Astrotrain I would get one. It turns out they are making one, but it's going to be a TF Con exclusive. Booooo! It looks like non-attendees can buy one too, but you have to get it from TF Source. I'm still weary of buying from them ever since their online security breach.- 9275 replies

As dubious of quality this movie may be, I'm a sucker for large scale models of cool looking ships. That fighter looks slick, so I'll watch this to see it in action.
