    I think Phoenix is my preferred take on Skyfire. The MP just has too much wonky animation proportions going on. Though in all fairness it doesn’t look bad (could look a lot worse) and the price seems fair (compared to MP-44) for a toy that has almost zero repaint potential. Does it come with a Jazz mini figure? Is it time for baseless assumptions about an MP Jazz finally being released?

    New key art and website revealed: https://bastard-anime.com Episodes 1-13 are set to air on 06/30/22.

    I‘ve mentioned that before. To me it has either too much white (for Max’ regular rides) or not enough white (for the DYRL? color scheme) to identify as Max.

    I want to give the show a watch. Sounds entertaining. I‘ve started to watch „Ya boy Kongming“ which is about the Chinese tactician Kongming from the three Kingdoms period transported to/reincarnated in modern day Japan. His new goal is to help a struggling EDM artist to become famous by deploying various war tactics and stratagems he used in his past life. It is good and refreshingly different to other Isekai style shows.However in the current story arc his involvement is almost negligible. I guess him pulling the strings in the background is a more convincing way to explain why two people meet instead of them running into each other by chance. Still an enjoyable show but it removed the premise of the show to a certain extend, which where show draws most of the comedy from. Currently it is more about personal relationships and the drama that comes from that. Killer OP though!

    Not as good looking as Miss Sazabi.

    I think Shockwave would work well too. Especially if his alt-mode is a futuristic upside-down submarine.

    Beautiful! But will we get Urd and Skuld? And while Belldandy looks great I would love to get new versions of the goddesses with their guardian angels.

    Lego was ok with releasing fighter-jets and classifying them something else (Like the Blue Power Jet F-35 lookalike). So as long as it doesn’t say McDonnell Douglas F-15 on the box and doesn’t have realistic weapons it should be fine. I don’t think Prime is a licensed vehicle did he?

    You can also flip out the panels on Tyr‘s shins that can double as rear landing gear. They don’t have any dedicated sculpting for wheels though, which is odd. I got my Tyr too and he is great. It had a FansToys like QC sticker on his nose and the box art is featuring Lemon Tree‘s Purple Potato. Is it time for baseless conspiracy theories already?

    Looks terrible as Scourge not feeling the red (the red tint is not strong enough; looks too pale/pink in the pictures) on the shoulders for Nemesis Prime. Maybe they will a properly colored one in the Selects line. I wonder if this will be available through Pulse since we don’t have Walmarts in my country.

    I think it was a good idea by the MMC designer(I think it was Makoto) to use the legs as the tank turret. That allows to have slender legs without the need to scaffold them with panels. I wished they would have come up with a way to deal with the tank treads other than turning them into a backpack. But it is not too egregious.

    First4Figures is releasing a Breath of the Wild Mipha statue: More images here: https://news.toyark.com/2022/05/18/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-mipha-statue-by-first-4-figures-468129#images I will get this one and Urbosa as well.

    Might not be the best thread to post this but today I took out my Arcadia VF-1S Hikaru out of storage and noticed that it had turned brown where the pieces were cut from the runners and where two pieces join (i.e. the two leg halves) but not on other surfaces of the toy. I‘m curious what that is (is it actually yellowing?) and now I’m anxious to pull my Renewals out of storage.

    Still watching Spy x Family and it still good. This week’s episode gave an outlook into the next phases of operation Strix (while volume 8 of the manga is currently taking a break from that). In the meantime I’m at episode 42 of „That time I got reincarnated as a Slime“ It has some of the overpowered Isekai hero tropes but most of the drama is resolved by keeping a clear head, discussing topics without leaving important things out, having boardroom meeting (the opposite of all the tropes that usually would lead to an escalation in other shows). It is also hysterical that the protagonist is surrounded by various different flavors of anime simpletons. It made me realize how difficult it is to actually write drama convincingly into any kind of media without relying on manufactured conflicts: usually you can solve things peacefully and fast by talking things out and being reasonable and compassionated.

    Testshot of HasLab Star Saber: Source: https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/05/13/transformers-haslab-victory-saber-first-look-video-456012 Those are large chunks of (white) plastic. On the upside this means he will have a lot more paint applications than MP Stat Saber. That makes me happy.

    I don’t know if I would call it that. Everything that made up the tank was a set of removable tank treads and a gun. I would say it had a box mode with add-ons.

    It seems I have a weird obsession with Fort Max heads since I also have the Perfect Effect one from a few years back.

    I’m torn on the Lego Optimus. It Looks really nice but I don’t have any attachment to the red and blue. I want it in black and teal. Which they probably never do. Sure I could get the instructions ans build my own but some pieces might not be available in the correct color (like red chest windows) and I would rely on someone else to produce either a sticker sheet or custom print the pieces like the Decepticon logo. It is not impossible but so inconvenient compared to buying a boy in a store.

    BSF‘s review of Hannibal the FansToys Cerebros: I have no interest in the Fortress Maximus since it is too big for my liking. However I’m getting the Headmaster since it seems nicely done.

    @M'Kyuun why I can’t deny that Hybrid Convoy looks like G1 Prime to MP-10 next to the current generation of heroic Autobot commanders I still have a soft spot for it. To me the super toon accurate toys, while impressive in their engineering, never feel like something could exist in real life. For the same reason I still prefer MP-10 over MP-44.

    Did they state somewhere how the transformation will work? Spring powered like the old Mask toys or more like converting a Transformer?
  24. Scyla
    Got a couple of 3rd party bots. First Magic Square Optimus Prime V2. Of course in black and teal. Transformation is what you expect from a G1 cartoon accurate toy: crazy origami and fake parts. But those MS materials; yuck. I know it is the standard MS fare but somehow it is worse on this release. Especially truck mode won’t lock together well due to the flexible materials. A great handfeel it has not! Posability and playability in robot mode is great. I mean what other action figure can pull off such a pose convincingly: Other than that I got FT Chomp. If you like what FansToys is doing you will be liking this one even if I’m not enamored by the price. @mikeszekely ShowZ sent out my Star Blade so in roughly two weeks I can tell you how it compares to the other Star Saber toys out there.

    You need to detach the container from the support arm that brings the container up to the back of the Battroid-Mode not pull on the support arm to remove it from the fuselage like on the YF-30. Maybe you should also check if there was a change in the mold on Mirage that might prevent the container from being removed. I haven’t shipped mine yet so I can’t check that in person. In theory it should work like in the video @no3Ljm shared.
