    Leader Skyquake might be a Voyager+ toy: a bit bigger than regular Voyagers (like Prime:Prime) and he comes with a big gatling gun, sword and extra zombie head. Maybe they came up with a neat transformation for a jet that is not a box under a plane and need the larger budget to pull it of. Could also be a pre-tool for a new Seeker mold if it is a G1-fied version of Prime Skyquake.

    Have you tried contacting the store where you got it from if they have replacement pieces?

    Isn’t Spider-Man supposed to be black and red? So the blue is a highlight of the black spandex.

    Does Justin Wong have high hopes for Chun-Li?

    Bastard!! Trailer 2:

    As I wrote somewhere else the castle doesn’t come with enough knights with visored helmets and separate chest armor. Including three or more of those knights would have been an absolute draw for me buying the castle since those where my preferred knights as a kid. With just one knight done like this to me it’s a set that is expensive and will take up a lot of space (the castle itself looks very good though). So maybe I’ll buy it if it ever goes on clearance. [edit:] Saw more pictures of the castle and apparently the queen comes with a knight helmet with golden visor and another helmet is in the armory for the knight with the hair piece (which I mistook as the squire at first). That makes the set more interesting to me. Still not enough horses for all the knights. My own Lego castle is the one they released after the yellow one (6080). And four knights on horses is a must to me.

    I just noticed that I don’t have a second blue VF-31AX to display the Armor Parts.

    Does anyone know the day when the X-0 Full Cloth will be released in June? I have a preorder with Luna Park and I think I need to poke them a bit once the toy gets released in order to have it shipped.

    Since all add-on sets up to this point have been web exclusives there is a high possibility that this one will be too. Looks good. Why the orange missile covers though?

    That is a lot of silver. Would look nice with some panel lining. Maybe in a dark purple.

    Yeah at the end of the show it turns out that Night City is actually inside a virtual world and the protagonists have to fight and destroy god (i.e. the creator of the world) with a giant robot.

    I started to watch Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story. It starts rather interesting with the mafia setting disputes via a 1 vs 1 golf match with those underground golfers. Losing one of these matches has severe consequences for the golfer… I basically no nothing about golf (i.e. I had to look up what a birdie actually is) but the show is very enjoyable. It also has a great opening song by Hirose Koumi.

    I don’t know how to feel about that. Volume 40 of the manga seemed like a good end for the series. You could imagine that Guts and Casca lived happily ever after on that island while Griffith is off doing whatever. But now with volume 41 you opened a whole new can of worms that somehow needs to continue.

    I think what also might have helped to change the color of the Super Parts thrusters and engine covers to make it more look like Max. Maybe the dark gray from his VF-1J or the light gray of his VF-22S. The lavender looks too much like the blue.

    Yukikaze is up for preorder at amiami with better pictures: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-140841

    I have the two announcements Raiden Bots on preorder. Mostly out of morbid curiosity to see what an official TT MP combiner would look like. But I’m thinking daily I shouldn’t waste my money and cancel them. I think the Moon Studio have some advantages over the MP ones since the bot mode looks cleaner, well proportioned and more cohesive. But from the videos they look like a mess to transform and the train modes look very stubby. Those are some areas where the official ones could outshine them.
  19. Scyla
    Best train-bot ever?

    Got my IronTrans Star Blade. It’s bad, don’t buy it and hope that HasLab Star Saber delivers. Or, if you don’t need it to transform and you have the budget for it, get the Kuro Kara Kuro one. It’s great. How bad you ask? I think it sits firmly on the third spot right after the MP one and the PlanetX Kadmos. Compared to Kadmos at least his joints can support poses and it feels more solid than the MP one. Star Blade shares the non-transformation of the others. Given that Star Blade is a big toy and fairly stylized I wonder why they didn’t come up with a more involved transformation. Since the company has not many releases under their belt it could be inexperience. It is just plagued with a lot of paint imperfections. But, to be fair, it has a lot of paint. Many people, myself included, had the hands fall apart on them but nothing a bit of super glue couldn’t fix. I could write more but I’m strapped for time at the moment.

    I wished the different parts of the wings had articulation but I love the additional yellow highlights they added. It really pops compared to the EW version.
  22. Scyla
    That was my reasoning too:

    I paid ¥40k at HLJ for MP-44 and had a paint rub on the lights on his robot-mode chest and a complete fingerprint in the paint of Roller out of the box. Got told by an HLJ customer support rep that this is the kind of QC I should expect from an item released by the company so they couldn’t do anything about it. So yeah if this is what is expected I feel he is overpriced. Also the JPY exchange rate back then is not what it is today. Plus MP-44 was $450 at BBTS whereas Skyfire is $270. I also have a lot of Metal Build Gundams (and Sentinel/Arcadia toys) and Transformers don’t compare in quality to those. They are of lower quality but prior to MP-44 they had the cheaper price point going for them. And I prefer MP-44 over MS and TE mind you. Also the quality of Transformers MP vary on a large spectrum ranging from good (not great) to utter garbage (I loathe MP Star Saber, Laserwave and MP-49 Back Convoy) Collector toys are not Takara Tomis strong suite. Sometimes I feel they should stick to what they are good at (i.e. making retail toys)

    I think even I could come up with a MoC for the trailer. It wouldn’t be fancy but it would resemble a box.

    Got my Wing Zero Early Color Ver. in. The colors really pop, especially the yellow. I’m a bit disappointed that the „feathers“ of the wings don’t have any articulation. Only at the base of the wings you can do some adjustments. Really limits some of the poses you can do since you can’t move them out of the way easily.
