I really like the updated 2 tone look, but the chest is a little excessive. 

Definitely looks geared towards kids with its goofy undertones, but still better than the Bayverse garbage IMO.

GI Joe Classified and Marvel Legends are back to window packaging.  I wish they did the same for Transformers.

I hope they do too. I absolutely hate the windowless boxes. Most of the TF’s at my local stores have the heads missing.

I don't even have the space to display the 1:48 DX Valkyries I've bought over the past couple of years... I certainly wouldn't have space for a 1:18 VF-1!

Heck, my 1:18 F-14 hangs from the ceiling above the stairwell, 'cause that's the only possible place I can display it... 

And to be honest, I still have no idea where my PLAMAX 1:20 VF-1s will go once they're painted, either. 

"First-world problems," as they say. 😅

 

Wait…..is that an actual model of a Borg Cube or just a bunch of leftover Gundam sprues painted black? If so; genius!!

I’m sure it’s not a surprise to anyone here, but still unpainted landing gear. 
 

I remember when somebody mentioned it years ago and I was like “meh, no big deal”. But I have to admit, after looking at my old Yammie 1/48’s, white landing gear looks so much better.

I’ve always loved the 262 but every time I see that head I see this……

Looks like a McDonalds apple pie - the original ones that were deep fried. Delicious!

Quick question, how many of you guys read new posts here whenever they happen to be, vs how many of you guys read at school/work/whatever and don't really check-in on weekends?  I have some content I'm working on, and I debating on whether to start tomorrow and run through the weekend or just post Monday-to-Friday next week.

 

Monday to Friday for me. I occasionally pop my head in on the weekends, but much less frequently.

Moon Knight, Sabretooth, Toad, and Red Skull.

 

I don’t care what anyone says, I still like the creative liberties Bandai took with the fast pack armour. 

Oooh. I like that box art.

Return of the crotch thrust!!

MP Rinox ?!

I don’t recall anybody posting this up or even seeing/ hearing anything about it. Almost came out of nowhere 

Looks good, but pricey

Teaser for Inart 1/6 THORIN OAKENSHIELD “The Hobbit” Figure. It will be revealed in WonderFest 22023 Shanghai, China.

Well, at least we’ll have a lot of time to save up for it lol!

Just in case anybody still wants them, HLJ currently has them on sale: (scroll down)

So far I'm really liking what I'm seeing. Call me crazy, but I even like the liberties taken with the head sculpt even if it doesn't have grey goggles. The backpack however,  is my biggest gripe so far. Hopefully its only mis-transformed.

I don’t often venture into the workshop section, but when I do my mind gets blown.

Incredible work!

Another knock out of the park, Anubis! Looks amazing!

I broke down and bought 2. Figured i'll get my money back from paypay anyway. So it's been like 6 days and no shipping notification. I message him and this was the response:

LOL! Needless to say, I don't have high hopes receiving the valks. I expect I'll be filling a PayPal claim in the future. 

Jesus. 

That sounds like it was written by that old John Lovits character on SNL who's a pathological liar.

Good luck.

Thought you guys might find this amusing:

Interesting placement of Sideswipe’s shoulder cannon 

I'm sure it would be considered blasphemy, but I'd love to see a transforming Super Sylph.

 I'll watch an Akira and Caine spinoff.

Did you catch the post credit scene?

Don't know about anybody else,  but he looks more like Senor de la Estrelas than Star Lord.

YF19 History only (VF19 will be later) 

Those poor original Yamatos at the front haven't aged too well. They were pretty nice for the time, but the Arcadia trumps it several times over. 

I still have my originals....somewhere lol
