  1. That looks fantastic!
  2. I could see it as sort of a GBP situation. The shoulders look unusable though so I'm not loving it.
  3. 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...
  4. They might be able to do it as Macross outside of Japan... But it will probably stick to Robotech.
  5. I think frontier had just the right balance of serious and fluff... I didn't consider it bright and silly like 7.
  6. Looks like a toynami mpc
  7. 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.
  8. I could never get over how close the name was to Care-Bear-ans.
  9. 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.
  10. How is this possible? Maybe they're easy to pop off?
  11. 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.
  12. Lol, that display is so lonely... Like mom just dropped it off for the first day of school.
  13. 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.
  14. I think people might just be used to the undersized heads we've been getting on toys for a while.
  15. The 0S looks like melted ice cream?
  16. 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.
  17. This thing might have some impressive joints.
  18. It's semantics but I don't think "QC issues" is the right term. QC issues make me think of things being broken or faulty and that's your usually 3-5% of anything manufactured. I think 100% of the AX toys (up until the reissue, the jury is still out there) had bad tolerances that are exascerbated by build quality issues, so some are worse, but even the best one is 'off' because Bandai didn't have the pegs and slots in the perfect locations.
  19. We all assume it will be, I wouldn't worry yet.
  20. Wow, this is one of the quietest "PO Madness" nights I've seen in a while. Guess these WWM releases make everyone feel pretty comfortable waiting things out. That's great to see! Also, camping and refreshing the HLJ "new preorders" is NOT the thing to do. I saw "sold out" here before it ever appeared on that page. So, I just scooped it up at anime-export.
  21. I haven't seen the new Indy, will some day, but with the Disney bashing... it's amazing to me how much of it has been awful writing. You would think with the investments that get made in actors, visual effects, etc. they would invest in good, coherent, stories. They are definitely spending money on writing, they keep claiming to have talented people work on these things, but the results should be killing these people's careers. I imagine Disney has ten different people who get to pee on a script and call it their's before it's finalized and the result is something that ought to be flushed.
