  1. I was listening to the Heidi and Frank show yesterday morning and they had the Schmoes on talking about the fact that they couldn't do a review until opening day because it wasn't screened for critics, which is usually a sign that the studio knows they dropped a turd. They really didn't like that movie, then they went on about how no one knows what BFG stands for. Lots of jokes about the F and even an old Doom referance.

  2. Got my confirmations from cd Japan and Hlj. Looks like I'm all set. Can't wait to find out what the next po party will be for.

  3. Hobbysearch has the parts and instruction sheet up for view. Looks like poly caps for easy part swapping. And I was looking at the battroid connection for the upper torso just above the heat shield and there's a polycap that looks like it can swivel forward. So maybe that can help get enough space between the upper thigh and the wings to allow some clearance for better posing. It also looks like it may have some side swivel as well.

  4. Personally I never use setting solutions, but I do use microsol decal solvent. Gloss coat first then decal then solvent after the decal is dry. Some decals may need another coat or two to make the decal conform to the surface. They recomend cleaning the decal with a little water after a quick dry time then top coat.

    If I'm painting the kit, I will use a little over spray of the color I used around the decal to blend the edge better, then top coat.

    On the Gundam real grades everything seemed to be molded correctly with no seam lines, so I just did the gloss, decal, solvent, then top coat.

  5. I'm definitely getting the Max, but I sure hope the next standard release after that is a destroid or another Zentraidi mecha.

  6. I don't think they need to choose between one or the other. They produce Marvel films, Starwars, and Pixar stuff as well as their live action princess thing and films based off of rides things. Tron would fit in with Their remakes as well as rides and belated sequels all in one now.

  7. Wow I forgot about that, but in my opinion the entire thunderbolt soundtrack is just crap. It's like the worst example of jazz followed by the worst example of pop, followed by the worst example of country all in the same soundtrack to one of the best offerings of gundam ever animated. I love the look and story, but for once I really wish for a U.S. release with a redone soundtrack.

  8. I was checking out reviews on those hguc exclusive kits for the guncannon, gundam, and gouf revives and it said the markings are waterslides so now I gotta get em. I was gonna pass em up due to my hatred for stickers and assumed that's what they were based on the other hguc kits, but I sure hope this is a trend that will go on with the rest of the line from now on exclusive or not.

  9. If it was when hmr first started I would rather have had a vf1d, but now I think I would be more excited for the vt1d from the movie, just because it's more different.

  10. There are companies that make sanding films. I think testors makes some. They are like sand paper with a super thin plastic or resin backing and are very flexible.

    If you use a high grit you can sand a clear piece very smooth and may be able to clean up the fog. Then you can try a thinned gloss. You will probably want to use an acrylic based gloss so it can be thinned with water.

    I've been having a hard time finding future floor wax lately. It changes names and brands, I think it's now pledge with future shine or something, but that can work well to since it can be thinned with water.

    After the sanding you can also try to polish the plastic, some people recommend normal white toothpaste.

    I forgot to mention you may be able to get a good high grit sanding film at an auto parts store, preferably one that has auto paints, they may also have good polishing products as well.

  11. After the dscussions about the fast pack colors I'm almost convinced bandai is on to something, or maybe I'm just getting brain washed😑
