    It will hopefully make these a little easier for people to get a hold of their products. And maybe a bonus of more innovation on newer products

    Might be a good idea to try and make a mold to do a copy of the figure. Then you could use resin or epoxy or even plastic to make more. Sure painting can be a bit of a pain, but at least it would give an option

    PVC type figures and toys just get gross over time. I remember the early revoltech figures only lasted a month or two before the sticky ickies happened. Most toys usually take a few years. Good ones can last a few decades. It also depends sometimes on heat. I’ve known people up in the northern states that haven’t had as many issues as collectors closer to the southern border. I haven’t really found any real solutions to the problem, I just tend to avoid as many pvc or rubbery figures these days

    That’s probably how they’re able to do it. No name actors and bare bones effects and no real writers. Basically if they just get a few people to buy tickets and get something like shudder or one of the other horror streamers to show it, then they made far more of a profit than the newest Blue Falcon America movie that costed a few hundred times more to make and market. Unfortunately that means this will be the new trend like Sharknado or Sharktopus type movies.

    Could try some warm water and see if that helps soften the residue

    From the Hobby town website. The max version isn’t in stock, but is showing for preorder on the site , but I’d imagine it will be in stock soon. I didn’t see any in person for max but did see the Miria version in store with decals.

    I saw the raspberry, but not the blueberry and some decals

    I’m probably gonna sound like a broken record here, but again I gotta say that it’s just lazy making every character that enters the public domain into a bad horror movie. Although I at least see a reason for Bambi to take his revenge on hunters. But when Finding Nemo hits public Domain , does he go after the sea creature that murdered his mom and hundreds of his siblings and crippled him or does he go after the dentist and his family? just hoping I’m dead before Murder Hobbits of the Shire hits theaters

    That’s kinda what I was thinking. Something similar, yet different enough for them to say it’s still Robotech. I’m not saying it would be good, but at least it would be different enough to separate the Japanese originals and the American project.

    I didn’t know it still existed

    I think they did that because Gamlin isn’t as popular as the M&M’s. Although I’m a little surprised that even those didn’t end up web exclusive

    Honestly, I think if Robotech ever does try to be different then they’re probably just gonna leave the singing out of it.

    I didn’t really like it much, but I did like Yelena and their pops. A lot of that movie was just kinda mishandled. I hated how boring they made Taskmaster, such a waste of a character. There were some good moments here and there though, just the overall movie kinda suffers. Definitely not the worst of the post endgame movies

    I hear they’re really big closer to the eastern side of the country, while over here in the west coast all we hear are YouTube toy archaeologists speaking of legends regarding mountains of Hasbro toys, only to find the fools gold of piles of unwanted Reva and Eternals. Out here we always had Pic’n Save (which always got jokes from kids on the playground) and getting replaced by Big Lots. But I have heard that Ollies is creeping closer and closer here to the west, while In’n Out is trying to slip the double doubles closer and closer to the eastern shores

    The hg ones are great. As far as mg and real grade, I kinda want them to get some more advancements in their tech before trying things too complicated. They’re getting better all the time and I’m sure sometime in the future they’ll do better than their 1/72 offerings as far as stability and sturdiness

    You could always thicken the part that goes in with a layer or two of super glue if it’s really loose. Just a drop or two and let it harden till it’s thick enough to get some tension. If it’s just a little, some thinned down gloss coat can work.

    Honestly, I didn’t think Amazon was gonna be the one to get it. I thought maybe Crunchy Roll or whatever it is now, or Netflix or maybe Hulu.

    I think it’s hilarious that it doesn’t seem to understand Robotech or Macross and tried to grove you Star Wars, Gundam and Transformers instead

    If it’s slightly stubborn, you could also try a little warm water with a soaked tissue or cloth. Since it doesn’t have the topcoat, it could help lift it.

    Series, the just put the first few episodes together as a movie.

    The salt method works for most kinds of paints. The best techniques I’ve seen use a kind of mottled rust base color with bright and dark rust colors showing uneven. Then you get some salt and a bit of water and let the salt kinda stick to the surface like you’d see a pretzel or something. And in places you don’t want chipping, you can just wipe the area clean with water and a napkin or something. Then you cover the kit with your desired colors and decals like normal. Then you can use your finer nails or gently use a blade to kind of scrape off the raised areas. It leaves some raised paint and shows the rust underneath. The paint that’s somewhat raised will appear like real chipped texture. You can add extra weathering to make it appear as rust or oils or dirt at dripping out of those spots as well for some added detail

    I kinda figured that, but it just seems so recent in the other show.

    Hope that means less of the cg look to the mecha in the anime. I feel like sunrise has done alright in some of their recent shows giving a more animated than cg look to the mecha despite actually using heavy cg for their mecha in shows like Gundam with a few exceptions

    That’s why I really think their best move is to try and work out a deal to allow themselves and big west to profit from releasing the og stuff and DYRL. And then just to do Robotech as a disconnected reboot. They could do their own designs and new characters in a story that’s new to rebuild their name. Or just watch the cash roll in from making distribution deals and the streaming rights

    Just finished the newest episode. Still rolling strong
