  1. Well, one could assume I should be able do identify the TWE logo given how many TWE items I own… …but I don’t. Anyhow. It doesn’t seem that the Strike Rouge has the Grand Slam sword included so I guess Bandai insists on buying a new Strike Gundam just for the Grand Slam.
  2. How did the preorder of the VF-31J go? Sadly/thankfully I was unable to participate but I wonder how easy it will be to get one at release.
  3. Got my New Age Herbie V2 and Vanishing Point two pack. And while I was upset that I had to buy a Bumblebee to get a Cliffjumper it is nice to have a version of the toy to fiddle with, while the other is in the display case. Other than that they are great. The hinges on their chest don’t bother me in hand. Because they are so tiny they are barely noticeable. Articulation, paint, material, sculpt, everything is on point and NA again made a tiny version of a character that is so much better than the official MP version. Herbies head sculpt is amazing and oozes with Bumblebees character. I absolutely adore the Micromachine feel I get from them in alt-mode. Transformation is fun, albeit a bit fiddly, and refreshing. I highly recommend them. Words can’t describe how tiny they are:
  4. I’m a selfish person and I want to have closure for the Berserk manga. Hopefully volume 41 won’t end with a cliffhanger, if it’s getting released. Sad to see him go. I was always looking forward to new chapters. Thinking about it, volume 40 was a nice end cap for the series, maybe they shouldn’t release the last chapters if they don’t have plans to continue the manga. I‘m not against continuing Berserk in general. Brandon Sanderson did a good job finishing The Wheel of Time after the passing of Robert Jordan. Maybe he had an assistant that could do it? But it is a different thing to continue a comic where you have to emulate the art as well as the story and if the author didn’t have detailed notes on how to conclude the story.
  5. I have a core cast of characters that I collect in every scale (Skywarp, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Shockwave).

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So I want the speaker pod and not another VF-31J. Hope they will do a TWE set with all the speaker pods for the Chaos team. I would buy that. Won’t buy this… …or do I?
  7. At this stage I don’t think they will change anything about the sculpt or the engineering. According to the tweet this is a block model so they are going to add additional details like the chest vents. Interesting. I learned something new today.
  8. First look at MP Skyfire. https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/05/13/first-look-at-takara-tomy-masterpiece-skyfire-prototype-433269 I’m at a loss of words how bad that looks.
  9. Bummer, I need a review from someone that I know I can trust. I don’t want to miss out if he is good, but everything about this toy screams cheap and hollow mess. On a scale from MP Star Saber to Kuro Kara Kuri Star Saber he should be as far away from the MP as possible.
  10. I liked the voice acting in Transformers Cyberverse which were also non union VAs. I think the voice direction for the WfC show is to blame for the abysmal performance (I‘m not saying they should use non union workers though). That and I think they try to stretch out the runtime of the show by… …talking… …extra… …slow…
  11. There were rumors floating around that Takara will do an MP Jetfire and everyone assumed it was the G1 version of the character.
  12. Yay, finally an Arrow Head figure for my video game shelf that I can buy: https://www.hlj.com/1-120-scale-r-type-r-9a-arrow-head-qsq84243 I hoe it is good and if so hopefully they will make more, like ships from Gradius/Nemesis, Parodius, Axelay, Super R-Type…
  13. Looks great. The pictures make me long for a Metal Build version of the Duel Gundam. Even if Yzak was a jerk.
  14. I wonder if the English release of Macross 7 will come with Fire Bomber American music.
  15. Nothing announced that I’m aware of. If it’s getting a release I would image a price north of 150,000 JPY since they can’t sell the Fin Funnels as add on sets and he is quite a bit more massive than the Nu.
