    1/55's revisited

    treatment replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Yeah. Some 1/55 hk/tw ko/bootlegs blister-packs prolly already did them or something close. They occassionaly shows up as some ebay-listing or local chinatown shops stuff. They're not even the classic Joons of sokor. Iirc, we used to have some old 1/55 deco thread here at MWF. There also used to be a few other blog(s) that used to document these hk/tw 1/55 ko/bootlegs deco variants, but i can only find this one still up or something: http://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2009/01/replica-155-vf-1s.html

    fyi. amzn-jp po is now available for MP-52: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B08KJP2N4S still at msrp, so order now and later amz-jp po-discounts should automatically be applied when it kicks in...

    That's what discussions are all about. We all challenge everyone's views and if there is something amiss. Even tho I knew you were talking about feature-creep instead, I still took you up on the design thing since that is what the recent interesting discussions about the leg-FPs was all about. What was Bandai thinking when they glued up the leg-FPs? Some factory guy messed up and so they juust roll with it? Or did their design really somehow just didn't work? I mean, Bandai does have a reputation of over-engineering and over-designing rather simple stuff. The YF-19 stabilzers, the symmetry stuff, etc, etc. :shrugs:

    Not really sure why it's somehow relevant, but yes, yes I know much about designs and stuff. It's part of my day job since I work with artists, marketers, and engineers. I think you're just projecting now on a tangent now, tho. Gluing up a part with moulded details to hide it? What other plausible explanation other than they didn't design the cover properly to secure and detach properly?
  7. treatment
    Design creep? Bandai's FPs actually have similar albeit somewhat nerfed designs on their FPs like the old Yammies, as they've shown in the TN event DX-Macross annoucement, They then inexplicably glued the leg-FPs together once released years later. That's not really design-creep. Maybe more of a design-failure on their part...
  8. treatment
    Yeah. Good luck on getting a DX under reasonable (meaning under 20k-yen) pricing. Then the FPs (17k+) and Missile sets (8.5k-yen+). Then figure out the shipping rape for each and/or all of it. It's really a scalpers' market if you didn't get a DX during PO times...

    Not quite dead yet. Bandai's just prioritizing on making more Seed/Seed Destiny, Wing-KA and Unicorn rerererererenewals...
  10. treatment
    Late to this party, but I have noticed before that my old Yammie had some pinkish hue sometimes. I took it as just some sort of bounce/reflection of the red-stripes since it is not noticeable most of the time to the naked eye. It was rather prominent on dslr output depending on your whitebalance settings/values.
  11. treatment
    I reckon it's all about symmetry. Bandai rep got stuck separating one of the FP panels and decided then and there to just damn glue both for, uhmm, symmetry...

  14. treatment
    Yeah. This upcoming Screamer-v2's puny thighs/leg-day skipper, the bulbous underside kibble, the seemingly current diaper mandate, and the reported faux-parts (faux canopy? etc) are making it rather just a bit unappealing to me. Already anticipating the msrp to be north of 37k-yen...
  15. treatment
    So you're saying you want to wait until Bandai leverls it up with their YF-19 by adding in the stabilizers popping it out on its own when you look at it, the broken antennae out of the box, and the misfitting FPs in fighter-mode?
