    Yo, those -31s are looking real nice. But what's the difference between the A and D variants? Wings seem to be the same... or at least similar enough I can't tell the difference at a glance.

    Hm... I have a suspicion that those noses are actually indicative of the final products. No full models from here on out, just the noses to complement the figures. I dunno how I feel about that. Nice to see Mirage getting some love. But STILL, I wish they'd just scale these up a bit. Everything else about them looks great, it's just the minuscule size of them...

    HGUC Penelope out of left field. No price/release date.

    Bought? I thought they were only distributed through torrent?

    I'm sure most of you have heard of the Despecialized Editions, right?

    Blue = male Pink = female. Bar graph shows age distribution. First pic (6th place) = MDelta Second (5th) = SDFM Third (4th) = MFrontier ~Sayonara no Tsubasa~ Fourth (3rd) = M7

    Macross figures

    kajnrig replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Wait, HAVE GSC (or Max Factory) made full-on sex figures? I know they toe the line every now and again with this or that character in this or that line, but I thought they always stayed juuust on this side of sexually explicit.

    Good god, y'all are such friggin' nerds.

    Macross figures

    kajnrig replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Maybe because like 3/4 of the cast would be very NSFW. GSC: "What memorable scenes can we recreate with these figures?" Literally Everyone: *nervous glances*

    BEST GIRL Though I suspect that's just because Delta is the newest show in the franchise. These popularity polls do tend to favor whatever's most recent. A "Favorite Final Fantasy heroine" poll had FF13 main character Lightning at #1 a few weeks after FF13-3 came out. The FF13 director, Motomu Toriyama, even cited that poll in pushing her into other FF games. A little bit later, FF10 HD came out, and the same poll conducted again had FF10's Yuna on top. Still, it's nice to see BEST GIRL place above the rest of the Delta cast, as she should. The fact that Kaname placed above the ostensible "stars" of the show (Freyja/Mikumo, arguably Mirage), and the fact that Delta in general seems to be represented in the lower half of the Top 10s of each poll at best, says a lot about its (lack of) lasting appeal. I doubt it'll have much representation in the Songs category, and if/when this poll is repeated in 5-10 years, I'll be surprised if it breaks Top 10 in any category. Anyone know the Mecha rankings?

    Apparently there's something of a little brouhaha over Bluefin and GBWC USA? Anyone know what's up? I caught ZakuAurelius's video, but his video is vague at best, so I'm guessing this is the video he's responding to??? The dislikes would seem to suggest as much.

    Ah, I see. Watching the latter parts of Max's video revealed the same thing. Seems like NRS are just bad at RPG-style progression systems, then. Can't say I'm surprised that's the case, either.

    Apparently MK11 has REALLY gone down the microtransaction/free-to-play route. Heard this on a podcast, they're doing everything from premium currencies to loot boxes, with the old standby strategy of snail's pace drip-feeding rewards for grinding through the game's challenge modes to encourage the player to spend on those in-game currencies. Then when everyone's mad, step back juuuust enough to be "tolerable." Oh, bother. For a moment there I'd forgotten that WB was publishing this... Anyway, the recent patch, in case you're interested:

    Oof, you're not wrong. I need to get my hands on that again.

    From comments on the beta versions, competitive players seemed kind of torn on the gameplay. I don't know how it's been tuned in the time since then, though, so maybe everything's been ironed out (or as much as possible, anyway) by now. Me, I've never liked the MK franchise. (Except for the movie, the movie is the frakking best video game movie ever.) Even though all the characters are polygons now, they've never been able to shed the feel of the old live-action animation. There's a series of videos on Youtube talking about bad character animations in MKX, and the guy had some nice things to say about MK11 improving upon that, but me, I still see dumb, awkward fighting stances and attacks. Especially kicks, I don't know what it is about kicking that the devs consistently get wrong. If they just watched a few Youtube videos or got a few martial artists to come in and demonstrate moves for reference, they could avoid having characters do dumb arm windmills for everything from an overhead chop to grabs. Plus the brutality has never done anything for me. It was a gimmick to set it apart from Street Fighter back in the day in lieu of improving the actual gameplay, and that's remained largely the case through to now. That's not to say I don't like brutal games. Killer Instinct, from the original to the reboot(?), those have managed to have both great gameplay and wonderful brutality. ...which is all to say that I'm sure MK11 will sell gangbusters, it always does, but it's not my cup of tea.

    Even the original blue looks really good. Some schemes I'm currently fixating on are from the ASF-X Shinden II from newer Ace Combat games. I especially dig the "Ridgebacks" and "Kei Nagase" schemes. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10183041 - JASDF scheme https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10270796 - Ridgebacks scheme https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10198937 - Kei Nagase scheme

    Thanks. I was able to put in the request online as receiver. If they only respond to sender requests, why even bother offering that option on their website? Ugh. Thanks for letting me know; I'll see if there's a response by Tuesday, then let FJ know, see if they can put in a second request for me.

    Any of you ever have USPS misplace a package? How have you gone about trying to find it again? I've got two packages that last updated nearly two weeks ago now, in the Chicago area. (I'm in Wisconsin.) I've filed a mail search request (on the 22nd or 23rd), but haven't gotten a status update yet. I'm worried someone in Chicago might have misread the shipping label and routed it back to Japan; this is the first time I've had this happen. I don't want to entertain the thought that someone jacked the mail while it was in transit from Chicago to WI. In the time since the last update, I've had two other packages find their way through customs, one by boat and the other by EMS. The former was delivered yesterday and the latter will be so by tomorrow. Meanwhile, these two are still just "In Transit."
