Usually I post the video about the same time but I've been under the weather and my voice is pretty rough. Getting better though.

Yes, the back of the plane just folds over, no latching, in battroid mode. Here's a pic from my review of Isamu to show how far forward the crotch is: When it's that far forward the canards shouldn't be too much of a hindrance.
-
I wonder if that means it's like 1/20 scale in bike mode but like 1/15 in the other mode. Some day I hope to take a tape measure to it....
-
Do you have pictures? It sounds like maybe you didn't jut the crotch forward far enough, jutting the crotch forward should give you clearance from the canards though some aggressive stances would still pop the connection loose.

Everyone I've ever spoken to in the toy industry in Japan about bad guys has told me "They don't sell." I spent some time lobbying for Inbit toys from whoever would listen and that's what I'd be told. That's why there's always more Autobots than Decepticons. Every rule obviously has its exceptions though. With the Regult I think it's two-fold: price, and armies. Regults work great as a trio. They're big on their own but their footprint isn't huge. The Regult is an officer so only one is necessary, it's big and wide so it demands more space, and it's so expensive that you really have to be a diehard to consider it. Remember, Yamato also made incredible Destroid toys. People were like "Why would I buy that when I can buy a VF-1?" Nobody bought the Yamato Destroids and so they ended the line early.I would say that's kind of similar to what we're seeing with the Glaug. Nobody thought "I need an army of Defenders!" Some people bought one, most bought none.

You just need to have a lot in your PW, then HLJ makes more sense.

Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
jenius replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Lower than Sheryl's missing panties episode of MacF? -
I do like NY for all their shipping options and the upfront calculation.
-
The Arcadia toys feel different but mostly due to their matte finish. Both companies use pretty thin plastic in lots of places due to necessity. You won't get a 'chunky' feel from any modern Macross toy.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

It looks like the feet were the last consideration and they made them in whatever way as to not be on top of each other. Not official, just a guess. -
Have you been to anymoon.com? I have reviews on every toy and usually video reviews so you can see it being handled and judge on your own.

I really don't think Bandai produced more of the Glaug. What you're seeing is the effects of price and demand. The Glaug is a bad guy, it's usually a solo soldier, and is expensive. It wouldn't surprise me if Bandai is making fewer of it than all previous HMR toys, people just don't have an appetite for it which is why there was never a 1/60 toy.

Robotech's Janice. -
Probably not... because that will probably be when the HMR line ends.

So, hidden verniers up her skirt huh? Bet you typed that with a straight face too. -
Mine arrived, sadly I'm out until Sunday so I can't test it yet. .. but if it's going to break for anyone, it's me.
-
I'm sick enough where I can't really be shooting videos right now, hopefully very soon, but in the meantime I've updated my original Hi-Metal and added an HMR review on anymoon.com. Please let me know if you think I've missed something. -
-
I think it's a retro toy. Like they said "What toy should have come out when MacrossII came out?"
-
HMR valks are too large at roughly 1/90 scale.
-
I don't know, if Delta airs in Spring then you'd think we'll have some Delta DX releases. Not sure how that will impact HMR.
-
well that was easy. They said it was Tamashii exclusives that require up front payment... so on this one I'd say they probably won't.
-
Don't forget M&M, 1Ds, CFs, Cavaliers, and TV1As.

Macross Δ (Delta) - NYE Special Talkback - READ 1st POST
jenius replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Totally agree. Walkure's efforts start to finish were too much and completely subverted Macross with Sailor Moon. I would expect that this will get toned down as the series continues. If it increases I'm sure i'll find myself checking out. -
Do we think Bandai will announce the preorder for the first VF-31 on the same day Arcadia starts taking preorders for the 19?
-
Mine finally shipped! WOOOT!!! Maybe I'll be able to play with it Sunday night.
