After Thanksgiving I've decided to sell the majority of my Mospeada collection. I'm just going to keep my Stick Bernard Legioss toys and my blue masterpiece Beta. I haven't decided what to do with my ride armors... it's tempting just to keep them since they don't take up a lot of room. I'll probably just sell the Mega House exclusive "black" figures.
-
It needs to come with a pilot figure that's being squished to death.

When the first renewal VF-25F was released my friend in Japan told me he expected renewal version of all the parts, including the Tornado parts. Will he be right? Time will tell... but I suspect he nailed it.

I'm gonna buy this and then sell my green grace version.

If someone got an mp10 and doesn't want their mp04 any more I may be interested. -

Order placed, fingers crossed. -
I think calling the DMZ mold 'terrible' is pretty harsh. I didn't experience any razor sharpness (certainly nothing compared to the wings of Yamato's VF-19 toys). The feet are a little too wide while the armor plate above them is a little too thin. The arms also have a couple minor details which don't jive with the line art but otherwise the mold is very good. I would say that the Yamato mold is better in terms of proportions though. Then Takara went and painted on just about every detail you could want while just about every other Votoms toy maker cheaped it out and gave us cheap stickers. There's definitely room for improvement on the DMZs though. I think Yamato made a terrible mistake when they went 1/12 instead of 1/15 scale (but maybe Takara's license included a range of scales to protect their DMZ line). Yamato made an even worse mistake when they didn't bother painting on nearly any detail at all. Who buys that expensive and huge of a toy and doesn't expect it to make an eye-popping display piece?
-
I think this toy looks amazing... I would totally buy it but it's a little low on my priority list right now.
-
And very soon has arrived! Sorry DarrinG, the Yamato reviews are going to have to wait a while, I'm working on a big Macross review so I don't have enough time to dedicate to a toy as complex as the Yamato Scopedogs right now. So, I'll probably take on something a bit similar next like the joint model, Seven 1/48, dual model, or even the 1/60 offering. In the meantime, the 35Max review is up!
-
My 35max review is coming very soon.

Kaiyodo did make some pre revoltech dogs... they may be the worst toys I've ever handled.
-
am I an a-hole for telling someone they bought something fake?

Yes because the people making the customs were trying to make it appear as authentic as humanly possible, note the custom VF-1D above also credits Takatoku. The M&M marriage set is trying to be a 20th anniversary set so it would be a Bandai product if it was made by anyone. I wonder if any of these customs went so far as to take the Bigwest sticker off of licensed merchandise and apply it to these customs. -
That's a very nice improvement.

So Star Wars needs more Red Sonja? I wouldn't complain. She is a Marvel character after all right?
-
You should find a good copy of Do You Remember Love?, especially if you've never seen it before... it's the pinnacle of 80s anime in my book and always time well spent.
-
You don't recognize the SDF1?
-
I think they're just showing off the engineering by the parts... still expecting perfect transformation.
-
2013 would be great but I'll expect 2014 and hope I'm surprised.
-
Someone at Bandai just hates how hard points look when you aren't using the missiles.
-
You're mistaking the fact that "some" photos emphasize the different shade effect. It was all a matter of lighting. I think it's very likely that Bandai will do a much better job with the renewal toys, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions from this photo because 1) you can't control the lighting, 2) it's unlikely it's a finished product manufactured like a mass release will be. Again, I think it likely will be color matched better, I just would just hold off. I don't remember people complaining about the mismatched colors on the V1 until people started opening their boxes.
-
The 27 was very good in fighter mode. I think, like others have speculated, this might be similar to what happened with the VF-25G and Tornado Parts. The only difference here though is Bandai was using that release as another way to get mileage out of the existing Tornado Parts and on this release they're having to come up with a whole new super parts mold and possibly some mods to the existing mold to make it Super Parts compliant. I guess I could see it going either way... maybe the renewal VF-27 will have to wait until Bandai's 35th Anniversary V3 VF-25? I would love for Bandai to do a renewal now that we know the whole renewal of VF-25 toys are coming out and we're getting another 171.
-
That would be impossible to tell at this point.
-
Was that just speculation? I don't think Yamato invented hard points. They may have a locking technique they patented but i'm sure there's lots of ways to handle that.
-
While I never found Southern Cross particularly good, I would say that the original is MUCH better then the RT adaptation
-
Is that a Harold & Kumar II reference?
