    Oddly, all the good deadly stuff is far more available over there. Here in the U.S. even Mr color paints are more of a very recent addition to basic hobby shops and even then, they’re tough to find. Other items like Tamiya polyester putty are banned. Bandai even suggests in their paint guides Mr color paints. For many years of my time working on hobbies, many of those items were unavailable. We basically only had the option between enamel or acrylic paints in all hobby shops. I don’t think that really changed until 2010 or 2015. But even now it’s a very limited thing to find lacquer paints in the U.S.

    what’s with the kidnapper mobile?

    The fact that they even tried to go down that route is truly troubling. Makes you wonder what other creepy things are in these subscription agreements

    Finally had some time to get out to the movies. I’m not big on the whole multiverse thing, so it was fun to see that this not only was a multiverse movie but also a parody of the failure of the multiverse and is the only successful multiverse movie I’ve seen in a long time. It somehow managed to give a big middle finger to Disney as well. It was really tough trying to avoid the spoilers for this movie for the last few weeks, but somehow I managed to keep the biggest surprises a surprise for myself and there were a lot of them. There’s so many cameos that I’m probably gonna have to watch it a few times when it starts streaming to see them all

    I’m sure they will.

    D land is honestly horrible in the summer. It’s hot and extremely aggravating. Fall is usually better, but I’d say just to go to magic mountain instead. The rides are way more fun. Also if you have a D+ subscription, make sure not to get injured or sick at D land parks or affiliated restaurants, seems there’s a clause even in one month subscriptions that limit your legal actions against them in case something goes wrong

    I’ve been hearing that from a few people that have tried the vpn thing. I don’t know if there’s one that does work, but it seems Disney is blocking them fairly well unfortunately

    The decals cost them only a few cents. It’s a freebie with their Star Wars kits because they’re a nothing item. Not including them in the kit causes the buyer to be nickel and dimed by Bandai for a cheap item, but being overcharged for it

    Personally I think that old Zaku looks better than this new one

    That was still significantly better than Rings of Power

    That hguc kit is an odd one. It’s a great kit until you get to those why Bandai why moments. The biggest why moment on that kit were the feet. They put odd details, but sunk them in and there’s massive distracting gaps around the bottom of them. If they had just done a simple two part construction, it would have solved that issue. as far as hands, I can’t say they’ve always sucked, there was a time back when the 0083 hguc gm kits came out that they had amazing full hand sets included. They had closed fist, grabby, trigger finger ones and open palm hands all included. But a lot of newer ones are terrible. Even designed weird. Like the palm part on holding hands end up on the outside of the handle. The most recent Bandai kit that I was cleaning up surprised me with sculpt, but still kinda disappointed. It’s the new Dunbine Hg kit. The fingers have really amazing sculpted details that blew me away. But you only get two sets. One open expressive set and one holing set. No closed fists and the grabby ones aren’t tilted forward or anything for great sword poses. Other kits like the hguc revive zeta only goes the grabby hands and nothing else. If you want hand options or decals, that’s all added charges with most kits the jegan kits all look great, but need extra hands and the option sets don’t even match the included ones. I Don’t hate Bandai, but I definitely think there a lot of odd decisions and I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with a simple build every now and then. There’s a different kind of satisfaction when you get a quick build low frustration build done than a closed every gap and sanded for hours or days till things seem right kinda build. And I think that people that enjoy those quick builds shouldn’t be ashamed of them either. I love seeing everyone’s builds wether they’ve spent a little or maximum effort, as long as their proud of it

    This may end up confusing colors for us kit builders. The book is a blueish gray and then it becomes greenish by the new version

    There is kind of an odd satisfaction with a simple build though. Although even with something like a fully colored no seam lines real grade, I still like to add a little flavor with decals and weathering and such. And I guess you kill the value a bit when you have to hunt down decals and pay extra for them. The other issue is that for these kinds of builds is that they usually have to change the design from its line art or anime appearance. I never liked the Sazabi mg ver ka kit that everyone else seems to love since it really doesn’t look like the design I loved to begin with.

    Looks like it could be fun, but I’ll probably wait to hear if it’s any good, but it’s probably gonna be far better than Rings of Power

    The regult actually has very innovative articulation and Bandai would still have seams on those parts. Bandai is good at gundam, but those designs are basically made to be toys. They have very squared and simple surfaces. Something like the recent G-Line hg kit had no seams at all. But even their new YF-21 and hg Dunbine kit have them. If Bandai made the Queadluun Rau it would still have seams in similar spots. Bandai kits are easier to pop out of the sprues, but the softer plastics from the other companies are easier to clean up.

    Definitely getting this one

    Yeah, but wave already did the three that used those legs rather well in 1/72. They just skipped the spartan possibly for that reason. I wouldn’t mind seeing them do the spartan though and honestly it would probably be great no matter if it were Max Factory, Hasegawa or Wave. A monster would be interesting, but my personal problem is space if they did 1/72

    It’ll probably be disappointing like all his other non zombie stuff

    What’s the difference 84 theatrical release format and the 2016 complete version?
  20. Big s
    At least if the other variants are web exclusive, they’ll include the dang decals
  21. Big s
    Does it have head squishies?
  22. Big s
    I get what you’re saying. It’s honestly a crappy idea. This is one of those figures that would actually sell well with out needing a kickstarter. I honestly think kickstarter should only be used for new companies putting up a lot of risk to get started or for projects that are a riskier sell.
  23. Big s
    Yeah, I am not rich so I’ll probably just do the basic blue, but I’d love to go for more, like have a blue to open and maybe the black to have a signed copy in box

    There was a lot on that list of items upcoming. I doubt we’ll hear anything before Christmas. Although I’d be really happy if I were wrong about that
