    So this logo has the VF-25, the YF-29 and the YF-19 on it. Does that mean we will be getting a WWM YF-19 soon? Is the new YF-19 HG model kit marked as WWM release?

    Did you like season 4 of Overlord? I was whelmed. Not much stuff seems to happen while they were meddling with the kingdom. I liked season 1-3 but I binged those while I watched season 4 on a week by week basis. I really enjoyed the show. I have no deep knowledge about golf; so you are telling me it is not like this in the real sport?

    Maybe it even comes pre-yellowed out of the box!

    I think the biggest problem with Wildrider is the not accurate color. A 3rd Party company could make new hood piece but nothing will change the fact that he is the wrong shade of white.

    New Albedo statue: I wonder why no sculptor is able to capture Abedo‘s craziness? Sexy is all they are capable of it seems.

    Given that all my issues with MPG Raiden stem from Kaen and how he not really forms a lower abdomen, I wouldn’t be mad if a 3rd Party company produced as set of pants that make the thighs, lower abdomen and help to stabilize Shouki (maybe even have an armature that moves Raiden‘s head to the top of Shouki). Doesn‘t necessarily if it transforms into a train or even a Kaen looking robot.

    I was worried that this is the announcement for the Grand Slam add-on set for ¥8999. Anyhow, I was reminiscing about how much I liked Gundam Unicorn. I really want a Metal Build take on it. I would prefer if it didn’t transform but rather have a separate releases of the Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode. This would really help to get better proportions in Destroy Mode because the GMCFF ones are too lanky and the limbs are too elongated. It would also make it a lot more articulated if the transformation gimmick doesn’t get into the way.

    I hope you like it. I really enjoy mine with all the options you get in that set. I prefer the regular version. Even if it is bare plastic the glossy white looks better to me than the „dirty“ white paint on the Chronicle White version.

    In the official images Tarn looks as funny as expected with his long thighs. I‘m looking forward to a black Lio Convoy and a black repaint of Armada Prime (the black bendy Prime is a glaring hole in my black and teal collection). Glad to hear that Deathsaurus will be a Commander class. I don’t have any desire to own it but people were speculating that he might be a new HasLab project. If he is not that would mean that the next HasLab project could be an appropriately sized G1 Overlord with appropriate gimmicks. Which is what I ultimately want. That or a Masterpiece release that doesn’t have the terrible proportions of the Fan Hobby one.

    Yeah, it looks super similar at first glance. Maybe an upscale or it’s just that they both are sci-fi tanks. I wonder how Tarn will look like in a straight pose. His thighs look super long. He is posed kneeling even on the box.

    Here they are. TFW just published them: https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/30/hasbro-pulsecon-2022-transformers-panel-round-up-466460 [edit:] Lol, that lion face: Is Tarn a remold of Skullgrin?
  12. Scyla
    Are there pictures available? I would be interested in a Black Lio Convoy (obviously) and the Tarn.

    That is a good question! Fist, over the last couple of years I bought a lot of Switch games, all as physical releases (with one exception where the shop didn’t state it was just a download code in the box). But I had no impetus playing any of them. A couple of month back I started playing Metroid Dread and decided to play all the games I have, before buying new ones (that and my cartridge transport boxes are full). Next it is a Nintendo game so I was expecting a certain quality. The game also got good reviews and a friend recommended it to me. So I thought it might get better any floor now. Lastly I’m a bit of a masochist so I can handle a bad experience if I want to achieve something. With the way the game presented progression with the missing buttons on the elevator’s control panel, I thought I had a good idea how much game was left. I also played WoW excessively from 2005 to 2012 so I can handle repetitive, boring gameplay for a long time.

    Sounds reasonable to me. The ones on Mandarake are at about ¥26,000 so if you factor in shipping, sales tax, customs and handling fees when importing it would be around €250. MSRP for the item was ¥31,900.
  15. Scyla
    Neat, I might need to order some.

    I finished Luigi’s Mansion 3 it is probably the worst modern videogame I played and completed. It is abysmal and has, with exception of the graphics, no redeeming qualities. I can’t understand how anyone could give this game a good rating; I’m baffled. It is the antithesis in all aspects to Super Mario Odyssey which is a stellar videogame, probably the best one I played on the Switch (which, in a twist of fate, is staring Luigi’s brother). Or maybe I didn’t had the correct mindset playing it.

    The jealousy goes two ways since I always gush at the reports of US air shows and museums with all the stuff I only ever saw on the box illustrations of model kits when I was a kid: F-14, F-22, SR-71, F-117 and, my personal favorite, the YF-23. At the air show they also had flight displays of the Saab Draken and the Messerschmitt 262, which was neat to see. Sadly I only had my phone with me, so no good pictures of the displays.

    I know that BBTS is rarely the cheapest options but that price tag doesn’t seem to be appropriate if your buying your stock from a wholesaler.
  19. Scyla
    ¥12500 MSRP also sounds super expensive for what is included. Especially if the exchange rate goes down in the next 12 months. Sheesh, it is $125 at BBTS? Good Smile US has it for $87: https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/figma-samus-aran-dread-ver-9210/

    Thanks, the ankle guards look the same to me on all of them. I guess it is just an odd sculpt.
  21. Scyla
    Have the ones you opened the same ankle guard orientation as this one? My copy of the Alley Viper looks the same, but it feels like the boots are swapped.

    Raiden bends his knee to no one (aka Wotafas review of Getsuei): It is good to see that Takara opted to use clear plastic inlays for (most) of the windows. It is scary that one front of the train is clear plastic on a thin clear plastic rail that slides back ab forth. Takara really sacrificed everything for the train mode. PS: Apparently you can get more knee bend if you (mis-)transform the leg differently.
  23. Scyla
    I don’t know what that is and at this point I’m afraid to ask….

    I’m currently playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 on my Switch and is probably the worst recent Nintendo game I’ve played. I would say maybe ever? Controls are super frustrating and clumsy, the level design and combat is bland. And every level is worse than the one before. If the controller wasn’t attached to the console this boss would make me throw it against the wall: Maybe it will calm down with some distance but at the moment I’m fuming. [edit:] Of course I can’t skip the intro sequence after a Game Over…

    I got my Metal Build Striker Pack and Lohengrin Launcher sets. They are nice done as usual, didn’t notice any QC issues. One thing I would like to see for those support vessels is a stand that is either more variable or a second, shorter support strut bringing them closer to the ground so that they can sit in front of the Gundams and still look like they are flying.
