    A couple of Mandalorians turned up today: Heavy Infantry and Carbonised Boba (i guess that makes him Soda Fett?).  I think the Hasbro's Black Series have decent masked trooper style likenesses.  It's been a bit hit and miss on the photo-real faces tho

    Those Black Series Mandaloarians are awesome, I don't collect Black Series don't want to get caught up with another line but the Mandalorians were really tempting.  Cool shots and very nice background. :good:

    I've been waiting ten years for a decent Dark of the Moon Soundwave.

    Finally. :wub:

    Replied in the appropriate thread.

    I have not been keeping up with TF releases, is that DotM Soundwave a 3P release or official.  It looks amazing!

    Nice. :good:

    It still trips me out that Sentinel makes it so that the yellow parts on the sides act as the “eyes” for the Legioss.

    So used to the front blue being a visor or eyes on the Zeta.

    Thank you @Mog!

    Don't see any reason it can't be a bit of both really.  Given the use of the yellow bits elsewhere, I'd think the ones on the head might be meant to be spotlights.

    Either way, it really gives the Zeta a striking visage.  I love the head design, even with the antenna being annoying for fighter mode.

    @Chronocidal, I kept bumping the antenna while handing in fighter mode, then having to set back in place. :lol:

    Did the paneling on my VF-4A. The lines are super fine and shallow which makes doing a simple wash next to impossible. :wacko:

    But damned if I don't absolutely love that fighter! And finally put that Arcadia stand to good use. 

    Now she just needs some decal work. 8)

    @Lolicon Amazing work on the panel lining and your shots are excellent! 

    How long did it take you to complete the panel lines?

    So the missles stay very secure during transformation, but then there is the new deal with lower arms popping off.

    The elbow joints are unnecessarily tight. 
     

    Good thing the assembly goes back together easily yet it’s something to look out for.

    I have the same thing happen with the left arm on my VF-4..

    Arcadia VF-4G vs Arcadia VF-4A

    My Arcadia 4G reissue is fairly loose and have to be careful about it doing the splits or falling over. It was like that out of the box.

    On the other hand, the 4A joints are pretty tight. I noticed they seemed to have enlarged the "hook" in the neck section and I had to push way harder to collapse the neck into its proper place, inadvertently scratching the chin a bit. Nothing that can't be sanded out later.

    Very cool shot @Lolicon.  My 46 has transformed  twice and stayed in fighter mode for all the time but it still has bunch of loose joints.  :(

    Thanks @Saburo! It’s a fantastic piece and should still be around so it’s not too late. As I mentioned, this was a must buy for me but it depends on your connection to it. Such a crazy design that immediately hit the nostalgia buttons for me and I’m glad it came out as good as it is.

    @Slave IV I had some memories Mechaner Robo as a kid seeing pictures at Japanese book stores.  The fig is an awesome design and the gimmick are really well executed! As for nostalgia the Super Robot that has the most for me is Raideen. 

    Going to check the budget. :D

    Hey, is there some forced perspective trickery going on? Roy feels so tiny next to Hikaru. :huh:

     

    Thank you, sir! I'd like to get working on it very soon. :lazy:

    I noticed that too when I was processing the photo. No forced perspective, both in the same plane in the shot.  Its the angle that Roy is in that gives the illusion he is much smaller.  It's fun optical illusion to stare at. :blink:
