    To be honest to me, a fan of the engineering in Transformers with almost no nostalgia for the G1 cartoon, this looks exactly like any other Transformer that doesn’t need to reassemble a real alt-mode. To me this is in line with the Metroplex, Fortress Maximus and Omega Supreme Titan toys: wonky proportions, super simple transformation, suggestive alt-mode.

    Watched the first two episodes of Spy x Family and the series is pretty great (just like the manga). Makes me want to read the manga again from the start. Haven’t had a chance watching Shield Hero season 2 yet but it seems the first two episodes are not well liked so I’m anxious watching them… …especially since Hamefura season 2 was such a letdown.

    Promotional video for the Red Dragonics and an interview with the designer of the Hi-Nu:

    Does anyone know how tall the SDF-1 is on the stand in Fortress-Mode with the cannons not angled forward? According to anymoon.com it is 43cm but that doesn’t include the stand if I recall correctly.

    Since we were talking about display cases in the Metal Build thread here is an image of my Lego Star Wars collection:

    I have another one for my Lego Star Wars collection. I’ll put an image in the Lego thread.

    @no3Ljm The were around $1100 (incl. 20% sales tax) and the are 90x52x200 cm (roughly 35“x20“x79“). @sqidd The company is based in Europe, so I don’t know if you still are interested in them. I can send you a link to their web page if you want.

    They are custom made by a company specialized in doing displays for stores and museums. The only downsides are that they are pricey (but as pricey as the ones for the museums) and heavy. The ones in the images weigh about 265 lbs each.

    I‘ve added some pictures to show how the collection looks at the moment. I like the Destiny Gundam. The problem is, with exception of the Heine Custom, they look the same only some decals and finishes changed. I need the Full Package release that was bundled with the WoL but it ist just too much like the regular Destiny.

    I always welcome feedback. Before I had the Seven Sword, Exia, Repair Exia and 00 Raiser on one shelf and it was too much of the same. I replaced the 00 with the Trans AM version which made it more palatable. I‘m waiting for the Type-X Finsternis to mix it up a bit. I don’t want to buy 3rd party and KO Gundams. I’m content with a complete MB official collection. [edit:] Added some images of the collection;

    Last December I bought two glass cabinets for my Metal Build collection. Now I finally placed all the Gundams in the display and I noticed three things: Setsunas Gundams are too similar in color. Bandai needs to release 00 Suits in different colors to break up the monotony (red, orange and green maybe) Despite hating gold and liking the design of some Gundams more (00 Gundam/Red Frame) the MB Strike Freedom is my favorite release by a wide margin (and Seed Destiny is bad). I need more color variants of Strike Freedom to face off against the army of Destiny Gundams. Maybe in Lacus Clynes pink, white black and purple color scheme.

    I don’t know much like the Powered Red and 150 Gerbera Straight it will take up a lot of shelf space. Enough for 2-3 more Gundams. And I rather have more Gundams on display.

    With the Exia Devise taking the slot in October I wonder if there will be room for the Metal Build Providence Gundam in 2022.

    Apparently the next preorder will be Max‘ YF-29 on April 25th. Or at least more information about the preorder. …poetry will be released. [edit:] thread for non preorder related discussion:

    I’m hyped. Totally getting that.

    So this Sazabi doesn‘t have the 6 small funnels anymore? What are those red humps in that are in their place now?
  18. Scyla
    Hahaha…. ….hard pass! Happy for does who looking forward to the release.

    Really? I like them quite a bit. My only objective gripe would be that Bandai should have painted the color coded bandages and the wrapping on Donatellos staff and the limited ankle articulation. Subjectively I wished they all came in different shades of green do differentiate them more and be closer to the toys I had as a kid.

    Git my order confirmation from HLJ. Thanks @F360 for the link.

    Is it pay upfront with anime-export? Never ordered non TWE items with them.

    Here is an image of Leonardo who is still boxed up, if anyone is interested. You can see the strange dust clearly on the belt. It seems like all the soft plastic is affected. I remembered, that, before I moved I had them in a different storage maybe it got too hot during the summer. I‘m still sad that Bandai never did more releases in the Turtles line. I would have bought every single one of them. I know Neca is doing the toon turtles right now and the line is fairly complete but I don’t find the style, build and general quality appealing.

    I’m just glad that it’s not just the original toys transformation rehashed. The Fans Hobby one did that and I’m not a fan of that. Looking forward to the Scourge repaint.
  24. Scyla
    But they weren’t on the shelfs. They stayed in box and in storage since the day I got them. Don’t know what that is but it seems to have something to do with the green plastic Bandai used. The storage room has no direct sunlight and a stable temperature and humidity.

    One more image of dusty Michelangelo: The painted lower legs seem to be perfectly fine. After wiping the „dust“ off the figure:
