    I would advice against the Toyhax labels, at least for the Deception ones. If they are still the same as when I bought them they are not cut out the spires on the insignia properly which makes them look horrible. Especially on the white outlined one which are my favorite. I tried the Ocean design dry rub ones but you have only one change to get those right. They also do waterslide ones which seem the way to go but I have not tried them myself.

    It is a shame that Sentinel never did more Orbital Frames. ZoE had such great mecha design. Great pictures as usual Kuma! Speaking of Sentinel: I‘ve preordered the MKR: Rayearth and I hope the will release two more mechas to accompany the big (small) red one *fingers crossed*.

    I think the Seeker mold is the better mold compared to Jazz and has an innovative transformation. Their Megatron is a Mini-Masterpiece so you can’t go wrong with that. The Jazz mold is ok, but nothing innovative.

    My favorite Valkyrie is the VF2SS and while the ET one is trash, the HMR is ok but not what I ultimately want: weird canopy cover issue, a bunch of parts resting against each other in a not secure and seamless manner, no accurate transformation, etc. The only other Valkyrie that comes to mind is the Yamato VF-17: doesn’t hold together in Fighter-Mode, pretty spindly and hollow from the side, looks weird (too big) next to the VF-19 in Battroid-Mode and has zero markings. Not a fitting ride for the best pilot in all of Macross *Gamlin Kick*.

    I live in Europe so it is probably from a different distribution batch than the US ones

    I‘m super excited for the AT-AT. It is of the few things that is missing from my OT collection. I also hope we see images of the new Technic Lamborghini Super Car soon.

    Just got a notification that GW shipped my Bandai Space Marine toy. I‘m excited even if I wished for a different chapter.

    I still have hope that they are going to release Galaxy Skycrow and CD Galvatron.

    Ah, got it, the 04/25 is the release for the Red Frame Alternative Strike version. I assume on the 24th there will be more info on the Blue Frame Second Revive.

    Does it say if it is a web shop exclusive or a regular release? Also is it odd that the release is on a weekend? I only knew about releases on a weekday.

    Since it already been stated that the Kuro Kara Kuri Transformers are the pinnacle of this franchise for me you know where my preferences lie. TR Galvatron feels super flimsy with thin plastic panels. It feels like one of those shampoo bottle toys. I was a big fan of the Universe Galvatron and it’s complicated engineering so the simplistic transformation of the Titans Return one did not bode well with me. Lastly, which doesn’t apply to Super Megatron, he fails at being Galvatron. Terrible head and can’t aim his gun properly. Maybe I should see if I can acquire Big Cannon and/or Mania King.

    I just notices that it is a retool of TR Galvatron. These legs looked familiar. That kills all interest in the figure for me. The Galvatron is so bad I wont touch any of his descendants with a 10 foot pole!

    I would say they are similar in some aspects like paint and materials used. And they are stylized versions of their original design. Both also come with their fair share of accessories and a stand (I prefer the MB stand though) One the other hand they are totally different. Chemical Attack (the design team) takes great care into putting lots of engineering into how parts move on the toy. The joints on a Metal Build are much simpler in design most of the time. Also all Kuro Kara Kuri toys come with a bunch of light-up features (that I don’t care about). The Flame Toys stuff is also more expensive but that seems sensible to me since they are not Bandai and their toys are bulkier and have more features.

    I keep wondering, how the New Age transformation would work on an MP scaled figure. Especially the way the chest and leg fins transform is so innovative and awesome.
  17. Scyla
    I would say the Flame Toys releases are the pinnacle of Transformers collectibles because the available transforming counterparts are mostly subpar or straight up trash. MP-44 is good but then again he is riddled with issues that no Flame Toys release has. This is especially true for the fit and finish of the figure. The paint quality and sharpness of the sculpt is not up to speed compared to the Kuro Kara Kuri Prime. I have lots of transforming Transformers but i have a hard time finding a piece that is objectively better than Flame Toys releases. If someone would ask me what the best collectible of Optimus Prime is, the top 3 would probably be: Unimetal, Kuro Kara Kuri and MP-44 and I don‘t even like or particularly care for anything the Unimetal Prime does. Of course if you say that Generations Drift is better than Flame Toys Drift because he transforms you can have this opinion. I for my part think we should accept greatness when we see it

    I just wish Flame Toys would come up with better designs for their joints. The knees of my Optimus where too loose for my likings straight out of the box.

    I love the Kuro Kara Kuri non-transformable Transformers and if that GGG is in the same style I will be satisfied. I think CMs Corp did a transformable ne which wasn’t any good so this is a missed opportunity in my eyes. Plus I have the Super Robot Chogokin Genesic Gaogaigar which is still awesome.
  20. Scyla
    Has anyone found the preorder for Sentinels Genesic Gaogaigar on HLJ? I really want to preorder it but it should be a place where I can cancel without a fuss if necessary. With the whole Rona situation going on it is uncertain if I can spend 50k JPY on toys in December. I‘m also a tad disappointed that it doesn’t transform. It would be a great companion piece for the SoC Gaogaigar. That reminds me. Has Sentinel announced if the wants to release more Gaogaigar toys in this style/line?

    Man, the Force is truly messed up if it needs to bring balance to itself every 50 years or so... ...of the same guy.
  22. Scyla
    That Lebron James figure desperately needs a screaming head option.
  23. Scyla
    What Megaman X item is going up from preorder tonight? Asking for a friend. [edit:] Got my order confirmation from HLJ just now.
  24. Scyla
    Hm, got an order acknowledged message from HLJ. *staring at my mail inbox*
  25. Scyla
    Same same.
