    Looks great

    I was really surprised to hear the news. Just last Friday Ghost had put out a cover of We Don’t Need Another Hero and as much as I love that band and their cover, they definitely don’t have as strong a vocal power as Tina Turner. Since it came out I’ve been listening to both versions here and there over just the last few days and then to hear this news is really sad.

    I still haven’t been able to watch the new show. The redesign looks so off putting, almost like a final fantasy reject, that I just don’t really want to watch it. I still haven’t heard from anyone else that’s seen it, so there’s not even a good recommendation to go on

    I’m not really too interested in it and like a lot of movies lately, I’ll wait till someone has something good to say about it. I’ve mentioned before that this is the first time I wasn’t excited about an Indy film and it really is unfortunate. A few years ago, I would’ve bought a ticket on nostalgia alone, but too many franchises have fizzled bad in the last couple years and it doesn’t help that this movie seems to just be copying those. It’s pulling the time travel/ multiverse gimmick, the everything went wrong in my life depressed main character gimmick and main character replacement gimmick that all pretty much doesn’t work for a franchise. Those are the gimmicks that are ruining DC, Marvel, Starwars and pretty much anything Lucas films. These companies need to try something new other than these annoyances

    I thought so too, but it was explained to me that Batman being from the older time line is und the flashes timeline and Supergirl is from the newest so she’s on top. I still thought it looked stupid and the explanation was probably covering for an awkward artist

    Kinda wondering if I should just pretend this movie never happened. I really haven’t heard anything good about it and with many saying it make’s Crystal Skull seem good, is a really bad sign

    So now he’s picking up kids in a fictional world as well as the real world

    I think they should move to the 1/48 scale more. It would separate them from the intruding of max factory in the 1/72 scale and it would allow them to start over rather than re use a mostly outdated kit for the Battroid. The Regult kits are a good example of hasegawa learning how to work with mecha designs and joints over the years and a fresh start in the larger scale could be a game changer for them. Although if they did a larger scale with good articulation, they’d have to come up with better ways of developing sturdier joints and I kinda doubt it would only be $50 . Maybe $70 on a low guess, but I think the size would be a draw for fans. Personally, I don’t have space for it, but there are many in the community that would love the larger scale and it would be something to really set them apart if they handle it well

    Hi-Metal R

    Big s replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    The hi metal came out first, then there was the first armored version, then an updated version, and I think this one has all the updates and if I’m not mistaken a fourth for the vermillion thing. It’s getting a bit confusing

    Just realized that in the top hand option for Papa III has a hand holding his kazoo

    I do really feel bad for anyone that bought the previous release that didn’t include the waterslide decals. That was the major thing that had me holding back on the plamax version. mad far as work on the hasegawa, there’s a lot . Seams, light panels that sometimes aren’t all the way there are the big issues, but if there’s a design I like, I don’t mind putting in a little work. I think the big thing on choosing one company over another for me is consistency. The hasegawa has a very realistic look that is consistent with all modes of their vf-1. While the plamax is more anime inspired and simplified in its design. I’m getting the rerelease of the vf-1 and the battroid and seeing how I like the line from there, but so far the battroid pictures look amazing as far as having that look straight out of the intro. The hasegawa Battroid always kinda felt like it was almost there, but the joints and construction are the draw back for me. The hasegawa battroid just kinda felt like the best of what was available at the time it came out and hasegawa was very new at mecha kits at the time. Even with the updates it seems a bit outdated as far as articulation goes, but if treated more as a static kit it is impressive. I’m more interested in the plamax personally, but they still haven’t announced a gerwalk mode kit and made the odd choice of doing movie fighter modes but a tv battroid. The decision making with plamax is a bit off, but going by the care they’ve been giving to their Dougram line of kits it gives me confidence that most of if not all on screen VF -1 variants and modes will happen. But I kinda doubt you’ll ever see as many variants as hasegawa has done. Currently as far as 1/72 kits, I’m probably gonna opt for displaying the Plamax VF-1’s, the Hasegawa zentraedi kits and wave destroids. Oddly I think the destroids look odd with the hasegawa Valkyrie kits due to the rivets, but the regults have more of an anime feel that fells more at home with the wave and plamax stuff.

    I still think that Max Factory kinda squashed my interest in Hasegawa Battroid kits. The new joints didn’t seem to add much from what they’ve shown here.
  13. Big s
    They sent them all to the U.S. apparently since they’re at all the stores here including some of the brick and mortar shops.

    I get what you’re saying, like if I hold an old 90’s poster up to her, but I guarantee you that she would probably get an extreme backlash that would put the whole project in jeopardy.
  15. Big s
    I think that if you really like the plamax battroid, then their fighter would probably make a better match to go with it. If you’re trying for a multi mode display, you might consider waiting for a 1 j fighter
  16. Big s
    Definitely a nice display

    I’m the exact opposite. I usually don’t like the clown paint jobs and have always been a bad guy fan. Vader from og Starwars or Cobra from GI Joe or Skeletor from He Man or Zeon from Gundam. I’m a bit down the middle with Macross though.
  18. Big s
    All the zeon inspired stuff is mostly rounded. In Hathaway, it’s on the messer types. On unicorn it’s on the all neo zeon sleeves mecha, there’s a few in ibo for example
  19. Big s
    They may have been a failure in Macross, but a secret win for gundam. All joking aside, I’m surprised they still use round hands on a good amount of designs from that series

    I believe that they are planning more than just this 1j. They have plans shown for movie options for other models. If this isn’t the one you want a movie 1a or1s might be worth waiting for.
  21. Big s
    I’m ok with 1/144
  22. Big s
    IGN is usually pretty soft on movie reviews, so this isn’t a good sign. Then again it is a Disney movie and they’ve been kinda dropping the ball lately, so I’m pretty sure it’s another skippable movie

    Isn’t that the sr III that was up for po. There are color pics on the previous page
  24. Big s
    It sucks too that the Regults are so easy to get, yet I’ve only seen the Defender at Amazon, but At almost double price. Keep checking and maybe it will turn up at a less common site
  25. Big s
    I bet someone will try. It would take some real mods to the frame do do it, but I’m betting with a lot of work that it could be done
