Valkyrie Hunter D

I can't make it either. I'm stuck in Sac due to some unfortunate circumstances. Hope you guys have fun!

Nee-ha! They did it! FM 5 Prototype I think 98% of a full translation is more than good enough to finally give this a go. It looks like they're also going to handle FM2 and Border of Madness-these guys are swell in my book. Now it's time to build me some wanzers...

When it does, I have an inkling it'll have tiny Monsters and other miniscule Destroids ala Daedelus attack. Or at least I hope...

Yup, it was only a matter of time. It definitely will be the centerpiece of my Macross collection. AND...it's made out of soap!

Cool, hopefully this means Bruticus will be easier to find. I've heard of only a handful of sightings lately and none of them in nearby Targets. Picked up Swerve today and now I'm thinking of doing a head swap with Sideswipe so he can be in his "true" colors. Also saw Ejector and HA Sideswipe. I would've picked up Sideswipe, but the way his whole back just hangs there in bot just turns me off. BTW, TRU is clearing out their stock of Universe Ultras and Voyagers by having a 50% off sale. I would've picked up Blades for $10 if I didn't have him already.

Sorry, the only pic I've seen is the one the one you saw.

Man, this is rich. I live literally 5 minutes away from Nikaku and I probably won't be able to make it. Just don't expect a lot from SJ Japantown. Personally, I love living there; it's peaceful, the food's great, and the locals are friendly, but there are not as many merchants as SF Japantown. Nikaku is an awesome shop, I'm always amazed by how much stuff they cram in that small place. There used to be a place called Far Out Toys that was the only place in SJ to find Yamato valks and other imported toys, but they've sadly gone under. If you guys are looking for a place to eat, I highly recommend Sushi maru on Jackson St. And if this goes through, a good place to meet would be Roy's Station, a coffee shop on 5th and Jackson. Anyways, I hope to make it as I'd to meet some fellow MWers.

I’m gonna have to strengthen his elbow joints because it’s just too much for one teeny ball joint to support all that forearm armor (and that’s without holding a blaster). Overall, I have no regrets with the purchase. I loved Superion as a kid and to see this new form from Fansproject is a real treat.

The visor is nice touch. I don’t think I’ll be removing it any time soon.

When it all comes together, Superion looks fantastic compared to his original form. And with bigger feet, it’s a lot harder to topple. The kit sure adds a whole lot of dark gray, but it still works.

But when seen from the side, the hollowness of the “pods” just looks dumb.

The alt mode certainly looks beefed up, at least at this angle.

Once Superion’s new feet are attached, things go downhill:

Silverbolt looks a lot better with just the blaster attached:

Superion’s blaster can be stowed on top of Silverbolt:

Yes, now Airazor and Air Raid can dual wield!

At least Fireflight now has a personal weapon and a shield. The instructions say to attach the dish halves on the wings, but it looked hokier than Fireflight with a shield.

Here we have an A-10 with a dish on it…yeah, moving on...

I placed the new blasters on the wings against the instructions; I think they look better there.

A souped-up Air Raid with one of Superion’s new forearms:

Speaking of gestalts, the Superion appendage kit arrived a couple days ago and I took some pics as I figured how it all came together. Here's Silverbolt with a brand new weapon and newly grown "wings".

Pfft, I guess he really did have a hard on for Ms Thurman... Yeah, Christoph Waltz made a fine villain. And as psycho as Hugo was, he's no Mr.Blonde.

Probably, but it could be that he just has a thing for blonde femme fatales.

I caught a early showing of this; overall it was great watching a WWII movie with a Tarantino spin. Was it an epic war movie? Far from it. Was it fun watching some campy acting from Brad Pitt as a Nazi-hunting basterd? Yes. As far Tarantino films go, it doesn't have much of impact as his other movies and some scenes dragged on. I also would've like to have seen more scenes that showed has the basterds got their rep, but I still had a good time with it.

I wish they were chogokin, but they're just the latest line of Yujin's videogame-related gashapon. Yujin has been making shooting-game spaceship/mecha gashapon lately and judging by the size of their M.U.S.H.A. suit, the Valken will be around 3-4 inches tall. Also, this will probably be the only time Leynos/Valken suits will come out in toy form.
