    I wonder if they will follow suit with other combiners. I think Defensor and Bruticus lend themselves well for this Commander Class approach. However both of those were some of the better CW combiners so I don’t know if the incentive for Hasbro is there to redo them. Silverbolt would be cool if the combiner parts could form an aircraft carrier for the jets to land on. And I think he would benefit from the additional budget the Commander Class toys seem to have. The leftover trailer bits for Menasor it disappointing and a real oversight in my eyes. I also find it amusing that the 3rd party approached to MP combiners is now adopted by Hasbro since it is seemingly shunned by a large population of Transformers fans.

    No listing for the Sazabi on amiami yet?

    So popular, yet so limited, Bandai only ever made two!

    But, but, but it comes with a shield!!!

    That looks good. I’m not mad that I bought one but… …the MG Ver. Ka looks so much better too me. I like the angular look (not a fan of the round fins to push the beam saber handles up on the MG kit) but something is missing in the legs. I‘m also wondering what Bandai is planning to do next. A Metal Structure Hi-Nu seems the logical choice, so does a Metal Build Sazabi. But I guess at the moment this would mean too much overlap in the lines. Maybe the Hi-Nu will be the U.C. exception of n the MB line.

    I’m sure they have plans for toy versions. The question is if those plans will come to fruition. Here is the block model of the combined mode of MPG Raiden: Source with a translation: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/transformers-raiden-project.1183388/page-446#post-20472889 That looks hilariously bad. Seems like a train wreck to me (pun intended).

    I’m tempted by Sol Badguy (and the prospect of more, female, GG:Strive figures). But he is missing some of the cell shaded goodness of his in game model. Maybe it is the texture of the flexible material Storm Collectibles is using doesn’t look right. He also might be too tall for the rest of my 6“ collection. I also heard that some of the earlier releases where plagued with rotting materials. @Mommar it is a shame that SHF didn’t even finish the original World Warriors. I can partially understand not releasing Zangief, E. Honda and Balrog since they are big figures but not even giving us a Guile is disheartening. [edit:] This is particularly sad since some of the best Japanese SF V players have Guile as their main, like Daigo.

    Nice review Mike. I wonder if there will be Toy inspired Dinobots in the future. The toys seem to be mighty fine but too bland looking for my tastes. A bit of toy detailing printed on and translucent plastic would solve that.

    I think this usually the case. However, sometimes they change it. I missed the MB Hi-Nu preorder because it started an hour earlier.

    But the Metal Structure Nu Gundam was sold out pretty fast. @Chunky001 you can set a timer to the time the preorder starts in Japan time here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create If you select Tokyo and the time it starts (I haven’t followed the Sazabi preorder so I don’t know what the actual time is) the service should tell you when the timer runs out in your local time zone.

    When I was messing with my VF-171CF I had the same kind if problem IIRC. The connection of the forward fuselage and the backplate was never secure and the toy only would hold together when the parts were held together by the stand. One day I was messing with it again it snapped together solidly and didn’t come apart. So I assume it is possible to lock them together properly. Sadly my VF-171 are all in storage right now so I can’t go back and check.

    Love the polka-dot shield. In my head canon the dots are intended to be the after glow of beam impacts absorbed by shield but somehow someone interpreted the dots as actual deco on the shield.

    I was under the impression that the Transformers in the 86 movie where meant to be taller than the regular carbot. I never cared for scale so I might be wrong.

    Preorder for the Hi-Nu Hyper Mega Bazooka at anime export: https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=59493
  15. Scyla
    I think the best option is to be there 4pm JST and press F5 if you really want it. I think the MS Nu Gundam sold as quickly as the regular MB Gundams so I would expect the same for the Sazabi.

    Apparently the DX version of Cloud (for $160) comes with an NFT of the figure… Source: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/764037/final-fantasy-vii-bring-arts-action-figure-cloud-strife-digital-plus-edition-action-figure

    Macross Plus is the one Macross release I’m least interested in. No that is bad but I’m more interested in Macross II, 7 and Frontier. The way I understand it is that Kawamori had a different setting in mind for the story of Plus that was not Macross. And I think it shows that in a way that it is very atypical for Macross.

    I beg to differ on the Minifigs. The fact that the figures are the same as the ones I had as a child is a big draw for me. They are not the most passable but they have enough movement in their joints to be playable. I also think they are small enough to have decent in scale build for them like the Star Wars shops or the Creator Expert houses. The Mega Bloks one are considerably bigger than the Lego figures to allow for the added articulation. I also feel that the Minifig aesthetic fits well into a brick build world and it has it’s own charm.

    Captain America looks good. With this my MvC2 collection will be nicely rounded off on the Marvel side with the exception of Rogue I’m pretty happy.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Scyla replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    The VF-5000 looks good but I think the head turret looks too bland. I don’t know what the could do to satisfy Kawamori maybe give the face blade a coat of darker green paint. Or a black Outline around the camera glass.

    The the dress version is from the FF7 Remake. I have one Play Arts Kai (FF6 Terra) and they are too large for my likings. I prefer my action figures to be in the 6“ scale.

    Square Enix is releasing a Cloud in the Bring Arts like that looks close to the line art/high resolution model of Final Fantasy 7. I‘m shocked no one else has reported on it and that it is not sold out yet since it is the toy I always wanted. I hope they do the rest of the playable characters (but I doubt it). I would love to have a Tifa/Yuffi/Vincent in that line since those where my main party members: https://www.hlj.com/final-fantasy-vii-bring-arts-cloud-strife-enx36774 One criticism from me is that Cloud doesn’t come with a screaming face. Since the default one looks blank.

    I think the bulbous cockpit on the SD Infinity looks much better. Same goes for the translucent canopy glass. However I like the new ones too. Not sure I want to get into another toy line.
  24. Scyla
    Ok I’ll bite. What makes you feel that way?
  25. Scyla
    I’m sad that there was no Mafex Rogue announced.
