  1. I kinda thought this was an interesting model kit from Kotobukiya. The Megalomaria Seeker. She seems a bit entertainingly creepy. The way the forearm blades flip forward messes with my head.
  2. Not sure what it’s from, but it looks like some kinda speargun. Maybe it’s for some type of underwater dude
  3. As KOG above said, the recent transforming kits have been from Bandai. Hasegawa and Max Factory seem to be doing separate kits for the different modes. As far as parts forming, there were the Tomy Techones in 1/144 and wave has a few VF-1 kits in 1/100. I think wave just rereleased their partsforming ones. And Bandai just started doing hg mostly partsforming 1/100 kits. Most of the companies that handle Macross have stayed away from transforming kits from the Macross franchise. Bandai has a daring group of engineers that seem to like a challenge even if the end product isn’t the greatest. Their transforming VF-1 is a bit of a jiggly boy and either pops apart or just falls over, but I do have to praise their ambition
  4. Especially on a show that had a fraction of the audience. It’s also a show that a good amount of people didn’t like. Game of thrones isn’t a show I’m into, but the fans love it even when it’s bad and we’re very willing to give it another chance when house of the dragon came out. She hulk would just get an even smaller audience than it already had.
  5. I have no doubt that that will be coming. I kinda got a feeling that since currently they did a release of the YF- 19 in dx recently and a hmr of the vf-19 that that hmr will be sometime soon. But I think it’s possible not too far from now that they could do a swap and after the hmr, is when they might start teasing the VF-19 as dx and the YF-19 for hmr and a hopeful YF-21 hmr to cash in on the macross 7 and plus madness going around
  6. The Marvels haven’t hit streaming yet, No Way home should be there and morbius and the venom films are in the Garfield spiderverse. Although if what if is on the list, maybe those should be there too. I just don’t remember if they’re on D+
  7. I’ve seen some of them listed at BBTs, I haven’t really searched to many other sites for them since the kits are usually easy to find especially in comparison to the toys. maybe check some of the local hobby sites.
  8. I had a feeling that there would be some sales for the holiday. If you’re planning on getting the pg kit at some point, you may as well do it now.
  9. Watched the first episode of echo, I’m actually liking it somewhat so far. 4 more episodes though and a lot of bad reviews that I’m ignoring til I can finish the show, but it does rely heavily on flashbacks. But at least most of those are entertaining so far.
  10. Don’t get me wrong. I loved it when it was on. It wasn’t until years later that I actually saw the original series and it’s tough for me to go back. I think it’s probably a similar reaction to fans of Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. I don’t think the majority of the fans would’ve existed if not for those adaptations. The thing I think is lame is Harmony Gold putting so many roadblocks for Macross and the rest of it’s sequels, side stories and products
  11. Honestly, with the mods that are mentioned it’s almost more Macross than Robotech since hg can’t touch those other series or games, but I do get confused on Macross 2. I don’t think they can release product, but can distribute the video. But I’m not an expert on these legalities
  12. They could have an awkward scene at the end where he looks more like Les Grossman giving maverick a talking to
  13. I’ve heard the classic version, but not the emo cover version. Personally I feel curmudgeonous, so I’ll take the old get off my lawn, back when I was your age version even though the newer one isn’t too bad
  14. Some of those come with academy models. They set down similar to water slides, but the clear film peels off the painted layer. I hear you have to be extra careful with them, because they can tear during the peel. I’ve never used them, but heard stories about people with difficulty, but they tend to look painted on after application similar to how dry transfers look, but conform better to complex surfaces.It saves time blending the edges of the decals. With normal waterslide decals you need a gloss surface,set the decals and then you may need several clear coats and possible light sanding to get the decal edges to disappear. With these you set them on a gloss surface, peel the top film and then seal the decals with a single clear coat. just make sure to get some spares to experiment with first to get expedience to avoid accidents on the final project
  15. So, more ground to air combat and less dogfighting. They’re gonna cut that budget in half
  16. Those are some interesting color choices
  17. I probably had seen this years ago and long forgotten it. I still think it’s odd to put markings in a spot that would end up splitting like that though. I think that was the first kit where the ver KA had a weird gimmick. Before that it would either be designed to look like his version of the suit sort of like how the old mg Sazabi and others had a totally redesigned set of pictures in the instructions that looked very little like the actual kit. I remember before that things like the rx78 version ka that came out before had more of the katoki look, but no gimmick and the fix figuration line appeared more like his reworks of designs as well. I still don’t think the NU or Sazabi mg ver ka looked like his older redesigns and kinda ended just being more gimmick based.
  18. I remember the first time watching it and we had the weird reaction of”Look, it’s the guy from Fist of the Northstar!!!”. that show ended up getting so popular that I’m pretty sure it ends up the other way around when people accidentally find Fist of the Northstar
  19. As far as Andor and the glowsticks, there was a dude flying a ship with giant glowsticks that did an equivalent same of several Jedi. And I didn’t know there ever was a debate about the monk in Rogue One at all.
  20. Not sure if this code applies to preorders, but here’s the new one for USA gundam store. I think your code above will still save more money overall I just thought it was funny that they sent an email with a savings coupon right above the most expensive preorder item that popped up recently to try and lure in more buyers with cold feet over the cost
  21. I honestly never really liked it especially on the Sazabi. The Nu felt like it was trying to be like the Unicorn on the mg ver ka and the Nu really only had psychoframe on the cockpit orb. But it does seem to be something that was a mix of the customized and influenced a bit from Inicorn.
