  1. Toynami wave 1 are Macross branded so it was the right spot.
  2. They told everyone to use those tags for anything.
  3. B2Five scale. Nice. It's just a 3D print though, I'll get more excited if it develops into something more. Looked a lot like the sentinel to me in both modes.
  4. You are overstating the importance of ESG by a broad margin. A company like Disney can get financing regardless of their score. Some companies drink the Kool-aid though and convince themselves that metrics that show higher ESGs are tied to companies with more satisfied employees and better results are fact. There are very similar things for environmental footprint. At the end of the day, the company must show that the ESG bias leads to value for investors and being a loss generating machine in preference of ESG doesn't do that. They might be over focused on it right now, but it's not like they or other companies HAVE to be.
  5. I pull Optimus out at kids parties and it's usual pretty fun for a bit, but a little scary given how expensive it is.
  6. Well I'm curious what solution they go with. If they do give HG any money and make it available outside Japan, hopefully it sets a precedent and some day a more sophisticated game covers along some day and does that also.
  7. That looks fantastic!
  8. I could see it as sort of a GBP situation. The shoulders look unusable though so I'm not loving it.
  9. So is there no hope that this will be Macross the First animated? I would love to watch with my son but I feel guilty making him watch the ancient stuff. I guess HG would be able to stop VF-1 toys with new paint schemes being sold as "Macross the First" products though...
  10. They might be able to do it as Macross outside of Japan... But it will probably stick to Robotech.
  11. I think frontier had just the right balance of serious and fluff... I didn't consider it bright and silly like 7.
  12. I appreciate a beefier take on battroid but I gotta imagine people here are going to be howling when we see good fighter mode shots... Most modern toys prioritize fighter mode resulting in a more svelte battroid but it looks like three zero is prioritizing battroid which means fighter is going to look thick.
  13. I could never get over how close the name was to Care-Bear-ans.
  14. I wonder if the plate behind the head can recess to get the backpack more vertical. That's the only thing that looks off to me. Very much appears to be a mini Bandai DX.
  15. How is this possible? Maybe they're easy to pop off?
  16. Huh? We know that can't happen if they want to sell it out of Japan. Some guy who had no idea would probably say something like "we want to do them all" and fans would get in a tizzy over nothing.
  17. Lol, that display is so lonely... Like mom just dropped it off for the first day of school.
  18. You might be looking at certain elements of the head but generally speaking (and it's all hand drawn so there are plenty of exceptions), the head was bigger than most toy interpretations. I'm not knocking toys for doing this. Most hand-drawn battroids would make zero sense as fighters so the toy companies have to make compromises. I imagine the head is going to look funny in fighter mode... but it doesn't look funny to me in battroid. Maybe we'll see more pics soon.
  19. I think people might just be used to the undersized heads we've been getting on toys for a while.
  20. The 0S looks like melted ice cream?
  21. I think that's in the 3 to 5% bucket. My recent dx toys haven't had those issues, just that same guns and wings tabs not aligning.
