    Neat, do they have an online store that I could stalk?

    Looks like it will be sporting lots of springs. Side note: I don’t understand what Ramen Toys is doing. They make official Silverhawks figures but unofficial stuff like this and Centurions. Don‘t the Silverhawks license holders want to collaborate with a company that is not involved with any „shady“ business on their other product lines or do they just don’t care?

    That looks very cool. The A-10 is so ugly; I love it. Is it still possible to get this kit somewhere or is it long gone out of stock? I tried looking around finding the maker with the name you dropped but could find anything.

    The Gold Frame is nice because you get everything that the original had plus more (like a second golden right arm). The matte finish makes it stand out around the other Astrays who all have a glossy finish.

    I got two Skywarps last week: Legacy Core Class and MP-52SW+ (Or 52+SW?). Can‘t say anything about MP Skywarp yet since my desk is full of other robots at the moment but Core Class Skywarp is a nifty figure with a novel transformation for the seekers. My enjoyment is severely hampered by the omission of the Null Rays in favor of a combining sword. The other parts come with his wave mates Iguanos and Hot Rod. Sadly he got the grip/hilt so it doesn’t look like anything. Come on Hasbro the figures are now $15 and the material costs would be probably less the 1 cent for his iconic weaponry. He is not NewAge Seekers but a nice desk toy to fiddle with. I love it when a toy company (Hasbro or others) comes up with a new conversion scheme for an already well established character. It is pure toy engineering creativity and something you can only get from transforming mecha (Transformers in particular)

    Apparently there is a July release (reissue?) for Metal Build Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and F91 Chronicle White going on: https://www.hlj.com/metal-build-gundam-astray-gold-frame-amatsu-mina-princess-of-the-sky-ver-reissue-bans61071-2 https://www.hlj.com/metal-build-gundam-f91-chronicle-white-ver-reissue-bans61067-2

    The $22 is probably Hasbro‘s profit margin.

    Watched Wotafa‘s review of Legacy Wildrider: To me it feels like this toy was designed by the intern. What is going on with the backpack? I feel like the G1 toy dealt with the front of the care than this toy nearly 40 years later. I don’t even understand why they engineered in the hinges for the subassemblies the front wheels are on. It is not needed for combiner mode and makes the robot mode even more busy. Seems like a waste of parts. Maybe I’m salty because I played a lot with my G1 Wildrider and liked the transformation for the car‘s hood.

    Got my Metal Build Type-x Finsternis this week and in person it looks pretty similar to the promotional pictures. Under certain lighting conditions it can look a bit redish but not nearly as exaggerated as some pictures made it look like. So Bandai, now that I got an Astraea with a Sniper Rifle and a Dynames with a GN Bazooka, when will I get a green Dynames with the correct sniper cloak?
  11. Scyla
    I know, I have the Metal Build Dynames on display. Maybe this is why the yellow color looks wrong to me. I’m just too used seeing those details in gold.

    I have a Metal Build Hi-Nu at BBTS with NRD. However it is planned for release in September 2022. I’m tempted to snatch a second copy once it is released in Juli. It is probably cheaper getting it now from Japan given the current exchange rate. I really love the Hi-Nu design (specifically the MG Ver. Ka sculpt) but I don’t know if I like the Metal Build enough to own two.

    I hope the orange missile launcher covers are painted this time around. The plastic they used for Arad‘s never set right with me.
  14. Scyla
    @anubis20 Impressive work as always! Personally, I don’t like the tone of yellow used for the inside of the GN Bazooka. I think I would like it better in gold. It is just too warm of a color I think. I makes A Gundam that sports mostly muted colors too vibrant. Maybe it is the post processing of the pictures. Or maybe I’m just used too much to the Metal Build Dynames Repair 3 who has those parts in gold. The comment isn’t intended to detract from your craftsmanship I’m just stating my preferences.

    I watched the first episode of Overlord 4. Not much happened besides setup for the season.
  17. Scyla
    It looks good. But I reserve final judgement until I have him in hand. MP-49 looked good in pictures too and MP-44 had me excited but the toy was a disappointment once I took him out of the box; yuck.

    The big draw for me would be that they did away with the stupid missile launching gimmicks. So if they do a blue Super Starscream version I might bite.
  20. Scyla
    As an avid collector black and teal robots I’m excited even if the mold has flaws. I hope Takara doesn’t skimp on the paint as they did with MP-49 Black Convoy.
  21. Scyla
    Armada Starscream looks like the T30 toy to me. I compared them side by side and the are slightly different. I guess the show model doesn’t allow for different engineering and that’s why they look so similar.
  22. Scyla
    Disappointing that they don’t come in player 2 colors since 2022 is the 30th anniversary of SF2 Turbo which introduced the second color for all the characters if I remember correctly.

    Are the Rightstuf Blurays usually region locked? Seems like Macross Plus (i.e. the most uninteresting Macross) will also be released in the EU: https://animeblurayuk.wordpress.com/2022/07/02/anime-limited-to-release-macross-plus-on-blu-ray-in-uk-europe-and-united-states/amp/

    Skyfire looks good but I’m content with Phoenix. I might buy one if they do a repaint. Maybe with a toy deco. I don’t know if this will happen since I‘m still wait for Detritus from Hound.
  25. Scyla
    That must have been one of the worst telegraphed deaths in all of anime.
