    The closest you'll get (for now) is this: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/club_m/1_48_ultimate.htm

    They would all at least benefit from being larger than the VF-1. The significantly smaller size of the VF-1 is one of the reasons why the model is so unwieldy, I think. The VF-25 has its share of problems, too, but they would only be exacerbated if it were the same size as the VF-1.

    They sacrificed with Rhodey, Bruce Banner, Dumbledore, (the entire cast of Star Trek*,) and countless others, and no harm to The Canons was done in the long run. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but I do think you're overstating the importance of the technique.

    I dunno, seems like "needed" is a strong word. It's not needed at all, but it certainly is more comfortable... from a certain point of view. For my part, I didn't care much either way, but I imagine it must have cost a pretty penny to implement.

    Is there a new way to open up the full editor? The default quick reply is nice for previewing as you write, but I'm having problems formatting posts, especially when multiple quotes are involved. Pointing me to the option to use the basic editor (where everything's in basic text) would be nice, too. Thanks a lot. Otherwise, liking the new forum.

    Oh, my bad. Thanks for correcting me.

    I've not yet built it, but I can't imagine it's too difficult to get things working smoothly. Just time-consuming.

    As for petitioning, Bandai recently (as in a year or so ago, so...) held a poll asking fans what they wanted the next Master Grade to be. Fans voted for ZZ Ver Ka, which will be coming out sometime this year. But generally they don't do much in terms of interacting/reacting to fans, petition or otherwise.

    There have been VF-2SS toys recently released, one in 1/60 by Evolution Toys, and one in 1/100(-ish?) by Bandai (as part of their High Metal R(evise?) line). Kits? No. Aside from fixed fighter mode only resin kits, that is.

    Well put-together? No. 1/72? Yes. Not very parts-formy? Yes. VF-1S? Yes. Hikaru Ichijou ver. - http://hlj.com/product/BAN982338 Roy Focker ver. - http://hlj.com/product/BAN984464 Super parts - http://hlj.com/product/BAN984465 Strike parts - http://hlj.com/product/BAN982339 Then there's also the Yamato 1/60 VF-1 model kit version, which is rare-ish and rather more expensive than the above.

    I know From Japan helps order off amazon.co.jp. I haven't paid attention to their recent rate change, but I'm pretty sure the change has been a simplification.

    Yeah, I can definitely see that making the figure a no-buy for a lot of people (both the markings and the poor construction). I like that Turris Babel quite a bit. The Full Saber looks to have been significantly reworked, and it actually looks really good now (at least in the above photo). I agree with chyll2's assessment; compared to the Fanmade, the MoSho looks just like a slightly pla-plated Master Grade. (Also that splayed hand looks funky.)
  13. kajnrig
    This... I like this. Thanks very much.
  14. kajnrig
    Are the model kits not particularly sturdy and playable?
  15. kajnrig
    ...yeah, I suppose I should have checked out the video before posting, eh. :/ So it's a Chinese-made figure sort of in the DX Chogokin/Metal Build spirit of figures, made by MoSho? It looks pretty good, honestly. It's a shame more of these Chinese companies have to go "under the radar," as it were. I'd think Bandai could stand to make a quick buck or two by issuing limited licenses to these companies for limited production runs of model kits/figures/etc. They do some pretty neat things. I still prefer the regular Quanta over the Full Saber, but this thing looks good in that mode, too.

    Can you guys clarify what you're talking about? Is this about the knockoff 7S/G a page back? There was also mention of a Buster Gundam? I didn't follow from a cursory glance.

    Oh yeah, that head laser fin requires a lot of patience/care. What I did was try to angle the laser such that when snapping it down into the swivel area on the head, the only area I was applying pressure to was the middle of the semicircle. Trying to get it in by applying pressure anywhere along the length of the fin is just asking for trouble. Best of luck fixing it; hopefully you have some modeling cement on you.

    I saw this on the MW facebook page as well. Really love it. It must have been especially fortunate that the canopy was already clear; no extra vacuum-forming necessary. I did have a question about the Club-M and Hasegawa versions, namely are there any significant proportional/detail differences between the two? It seems like the edges are softer on the resin. But both look great. But yeah, awesome job.

    The way I understand it, she's supposed to play a more prominent role in Episodes 8 and 9. I didn't pay attention to the pre-release hype, so I didn't know who she was and wasn't disappointed with what screentime she got and didn't get.
  20. kajnrig
    Certainly they have been. In 2015 they were releasing one MG a month; in 2016 they released a total of... 4? Speculation has largely been that their focus on Star Wars kits is taking time/resources away from Gunpla. Which is fine by me, all considered. I didn't like their SW kits a whole lot when they started, but setting aside my bias against Bandai kits, they're actually quite decent. They also got back into the Macross realm with their Delta kits, and all of their other "niche" kit lines (seasonal anime, etc.). Plus so many Gundam designs already have kits, so it makes sense that they're scaling back production and focusing on smaller-scale kits and simpler 1/100 ones (like RE/100 and IBO 1/100). Wait for more designs to fill the Gundam pool, as it were, then ramp up the MG production again.

    Came across this on my Youtube feed. It's a long watch, and spoiler alert it doesn't paint the film in a good light, but it pointed out some things I couldn't put into words.
  22. kajnrig
    What made TFA so disappointing? I'm just curious. I don't think I was there for the initial discussion about that film. I've already stated my opinion on the two - tl;dr they're about on par with each other, I dislike them more than I like them, I don't think they're bad. It seems the biggest sticking point was that it was a rehash of Episode IV?

    Didn't realize the new Shantae came out already. Bought it yesterday, hope to dive into it soon. Here's a trailer!

    Does the VF-1 battroid backpack have any indentations or otherwise indicate mounting points for Super parts? For that matter, what about the arms and legs? I can't imagine they would create entirely new molds just to accommodate them. (Then again, it would be easy enough to simply glue them onto the existing kits.)

    I like to think it's all they had available, being in the boondocks of space and all. Engineer A: "We've got three weeks until these birds are due. When are those cannons coming in!?" Engineer B: "There's been some sort of setback. We won't get them, but we have these ones over here!" Engineer A: "Okay, fine. Put them in, we'll make it work! Where's the duct tape?" --- Thanks for the info about the guns. That was exactly the explanation I was looking for.
