If I were a betting man, I would think ThreeZero would be much more metered in their approach. The most aggressive I would imagine them being is one per quarter but I suspect it will be one every six months to nine months. I wonder if they'll hold out on the 1S and wait to get through the 1J repaints first.

The more parts, the longer it takes me to review... And they have so many parts!

I was working on my B2Five review and it was going to end "C'mon B2Five, give us a matching Alpha!" Then I went to comic con and saw this. You can tell the pilot is a B2Five by the pegs on the wrist

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Not "TV" version, just not the "movie color" version. Man I haven't handled mine in ages. -
There's something very curious happening with the lower leg. I wonder if it pivots instead of sliding out to extend.

Insert "I got a bad feeling about this" images here.

I don't agree with that take at all. These firms hire designers that work with multiple companies. I remember hearing during the VF-17 and VF-171 days how the same team was working on both and trying to determine ways to differentiate them. During the V1 vf-25 days, Bandai tried to do things in house... It was not so good. Also, the toys you site have significant differences from their predecessors. The DX VF-1 is VERY different from a V2 while being the same vehicle, the 19 also has pretty dramatic changes. Let's not forget Bandai made an amazing VF-31 toy with no toy to take inspiration from. The 21 might turn out to be a clunker... But it's not because the only way Bandai can make a good toy is if they have a good toy to work from.

No trade at wonder fest? I need pics!

It appears my Switch controller was made by a company that doesn't sell switch controllers anymore, Ralthy? Probably just a cheap 'prop' controller but I still love it.

They forgot the heads on the Angelbirds... so ... maybe?

I look forward to doing the line art comparison
-
I haven't played the first remake because of TOTK. Looking forward to it though.

This is not the streaming news I've been waiting for.

Not a color difference, a lighting difference.

Bandai did it first!

There are a bunch, but mostly color related and the head is a ball joint. -
I find it very unlikely it will have changed since it's debut. Other than very minor tweaks, Bandai usually stays the course.

Jotun is different... I wonder if we'll see some HMR conversations of the Orguss that would be closer to what we see in the show.
-
It's the other modes with the super far out intakes that turn me off... A little overly ambitious here.
-
Gotta catch em all!
-
A HMR at MSRP is about $60 before shipping at the current exchange rate and shipping will be less. After market prices are higher, and armor adds to them of course. A much closer comparison are the KC toys.
-
To damn with faint praise, I bet, as far as RT comics go, this will be one of the better ones.
-
I imagine it's just because the math doesn't support 1/72... But it doesn't for KC either. Three zero used to be known for beautiful paint on fragile toys but I hear they've come a long way.

Agreed that's it's not important but I would interpret it the blue puck as the tire/wheel and the gray puck as the pivot point for the whole mechanism. Tough to say though, maybe the gray puck would be part of the heel and the landing gear pivots out from an internal mechanism. It still bugs me that all new toy manufacturers use the Gakken solution of having the sensor array sit on a door rather than having the sensor come out and sit next to the head without a big door under it. If I made a Legioss, I would also have the shoulders be much farther toward the front of the chest than most toy manufacturers do (or leave a slot there so the shoulders could be slid forward when a pose required it). Everyone loves to put them toward the back (like this line art) but then the arms can't reach in front of the toy because fo the huge barrel chest.

They do but they don't compete with the Yamato V2 articulated hands... very thin.
