The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

TFW posted the transformation guide and other scans of MP-44. I'd say he's less of a shell former, than he is more of a kibble former http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/10/transformers-generations-book-2019-masterpiece-mp-44-optimus-prime-ver-3-0-images-378565- 17919 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
mark-1s replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
/\/\/\ Hey Kuma, did you ever do a review on the ES Gokin Dancouga I see in the corner with the others? I searched your YT channel but couldn't find it. I have the ES Gokin Roadbuster, and for such a small figure he's very well done. -

/\/\/\ Yep, BBTS has their pre-order up for 449.99. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/84183 This is facepalm territory. -
I dont reply very often, but when I do its because Saburo posted one hell of a pic!

I know the old Yamato 1/48's had those ugly chicken hands, but next to Bandai's they look almost skeletal.

In that underbelly shot it appears that one antenna is angled out more than the other, so I think its safe to assume there is some degree of articulation and a bit of mis-transformation.

Looks like my wallet has to come out of hibernation for this one. Would have preferred it at 1/35 as previously teased, but oh well.

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?

Sentinel made Ken and Joe figures a few years ago that looked quite promising. Unfortunately they've been discontinued. -
Thought you guys might be interested in this tidbit of info: Voltron release date and price: August 1st $180 USD. Also looks to be a rather limited production run. liink: http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/06/28/lego-voltron-set-release-date-announced?abthid=5b34de1c44b91c0236000214

Lego just released another Hulkbuster. Not sure if I like it though. I think I've seen some MOC's that look better https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/The-Hulkbuster-Ultron-Edition-76105?ef_id=WRCMRgAAALY7GVJ7%3A20180306140953%3As&s_kwcid=AL!790!3!254930835725!e!!g!!lego+hulkbuster

That's a very similar product to Copic's airbrush system that also uses markers - I bought the starter set a few years ago . I was skepticle of it at first but was quite impressed the moment I used it. You don't get the level of detail you can get out of a traditional airbrush system, but having nothing to clean up is well worth the trade off. That said, I don't know how it good it would be on plastics though as I've only ever used mine on paper and canvas. http://copic.jp/en/product/abs/

I can't really even explain the feeling other than it just totally sucks to see your idea taken and not just having money made off it, but becoming a whole sub-segment of a market unto itself. A few years ago I made a very simple DJ related device that I thought I'd share on a DJ specific forum. I was quite surprised to see the enthusiasm for it and was even told by one of the members that I should consider taking down the pictures as "who knows what vultures may lie". I gave it a quick thought and promptly heeded his advise. However, it was in vain as within a year suspiciously similar products started popping up on the internet. Can I prove that my idea was stolen? No, but you can't convince me otherwise. I was naive at the time and only have myself to blame so I've since been much more selective with what I post about my inventions / ideas which really is a shame because it would be great to get feedback on them. So why not apply for a patent on them you may ask? 'Cause they're damn expensive to acquire and even more expensive to defend. There's an old quote I read somewhere that went "Your patent is only as good as your pockets are deep", and my pockets are unfortunately rather shallow lol . With all that said though, I'm not sure where I stand on the original matter; there are good arguments made for both sides. All I know is official Arcadia products are well out of my range and if the KO's are reasonably priced, I may have to jump on one. Perhaps if Harmony Gold / Big West were a little less iron-fisted with their IP's, we'd be getting original Macross related / inspired designs ala 3rd party TF's instead of straight up knock offs.

Found this on the 'Tube the other day and considering the thread topic, thought I'd share.

Wow! He looks great next to the official MP's -
I don't get the speaker gimmick - it's totally badass without it.

The size difference is comical. Almost looks like he's having "one of those talks" with his son.

The Ultimate Filipino ROBOTECH Merchandise Thread

Thx for posting this up, Fifbeat! Don't know how I missed it when you originally posted it. I still want a Cyclone -
Thanks no3ljm, It wasn't my intention to turn this thread into a b-fest about pre-order madness. It was just a simple observation that I thought contributed to it. Once again, my apologies.

Let me reiterate my second post: I do not want one. I am only talking on behalf of those that do but can't obtain one simply because of these purchasing practices whether it be by scalpers or otherwise. You have to admit the numbers add up rather quickly. I wouldn't have guessed being mindful of my fellow members would be a bad thing.
