    It’s probably for the best, English dubs haven’t been all that great in a long time. Some dubs back in the 90’s were actually really great, but I struggle to think of many or any recent ones. I’d probably get ticked off the moment I heard an English voice actor say “even so” again for the millionth time. I swear that there must be a rule that every English dub has to include that line in every project they work on , sometimes several times as though there’s a quota

    The ones on the toys don’t actually transform the way they’re supposed to. It’s one of those odd animation things that doesn’t translate to real life, so the fighter feet look more proper to how it was meant to look, but the battroid feet will never match that, so Hasegawa did one set for the battroid to look more like the animation and the odd ones that don’t look quite right are to appear as though they never change shape at all between the two modes like they do in the animation. Most of the toys just kinda compromise between the two appearances but hasegawa tends to like the idea that the fighter is the ultimate shape and the battroid is secondary. that’s why the battroid intakes on the VF-1 are so big that they get in the way of mobility. In this case they were nice and decided to give two options, the ones that would be realistic which look weird or the ones that look better for battroid

    I dunno ... these pictures look super toy like. Not sure if I wanna buy one. I have two plamax VF-1 fighters already. It will probably look a lot better with some paint and weathering

    Looks pretty cool

    Yeah, a basic hero in a time with limited technology would make for a more interesting Batman. And a Superman in an era without doubt post WW2 like very late 40’s or early 50’s would be great as well. I do think Batman would work better int the 20’s or 30’s though in an era of recovery from the depression that’s still has some rampant city crime. Maybe Start with Batman a bit younger in a slightly more grim era in a gritty Gotham and maybe being a few years of experience by the time Superman shows up from outta nowhere in an age of awkward retro science and sometimes less than friendly alien visitors.

    Might have to get this one. That old medieval Spawn in the background was my first Spawn action figure years ago, although it was the basic blue color

    I don’t remember that Starduster guy at all

    The American voice acting is terrible to an extreme here. I’ll probably check it out since the Zeon’s were always more likable than the feds, but there better be a subtitle version that doesn’t sound like crap. If there isn’t, I’m turning it off the moment I hear someone say “even so”.

    It would be very easy at this point. All they gotta do is change the tip of the fast pack

    That light blue looks so much better than light purple

    I feel the same about Plamax. A few odd fighters and two battroid kits, one being the 1D, but no 1D fighter yet and a bunch of 1A fighters, but no 1Abattroid yet. All the gotta really do to make me happy would be a kit with all head pets for the battroid and same for the fighters and basic decal sets and then I wouldn’t have to wait, but I guess they really want you to pick up each release. Also no gerwalk yet. these two companies are both doing VF-1 kits, but trying so hard not to get in each other’s way over super slight variations

    Probably gonna be a while since max factory has theirs coming out pretty soon

    I’ve been complaining about that ever since it came out. They easily could’ve made it to where these clean red pieces just pop in with a simple bit of extra backing and the holes already open. It wouldn’t have even been more plastic or anything really.

    Reminds me of legos for some reason

    That Snarf is damn creepy

    I probably won’t get one, but I gotta admit that it does look pretty cool

    Yeah, Hasegawa is definitely learning some big lessons compared to their old battroid kit i started small on the holes and slowly made them a little bigger with a needle file until it was just wide enough to still hold the lense without falling through , then used a little extra thin cement around the edges. If you use a little panel lining on the round pat of the plastic where the unclear bits are, it makes a good guide to let you know if you’re still centered

    It’s up for preorder at the usual spots. Hope they do a strike battroid next

    Rogue wasn’t even announced until after the show and is still in development and won’t be out til next year. Jubilee isn’t even up for preorder yet, but I guarantee that the decision to go with her is based on her appearance in the 97 show. Sure , they may be doing comic style but they’re trying to do a cash grab for anything with a bigger media attention. Medicom is trying to strike while the iron is hot and occasionally luke warm. And trust me, I totally get why you think there should be an Ice Man figure, but it’s probably gonna be a while, if they do it at all. As I’ve stated above, there’s a certain difficulty of making that figure cost effective and then there’s gonna be the question of relevance in the modern era. If he were to pop up as a regular appearance in the show or even a movie spot in the upcoming marvel films, then there’d definitely be a higher chance we’d see him sooner.

    This summer’s got me burnt out, I’m ready for Ernie wintergonna watch some Airwolf by the air conditioner

    I like Junkyard Joe, he’s a cool concept for a toy. Kind of a bit of an interesting choice there. His comic was actually pretty interesting. I haven’t actually read many lately, but a buddy had it and let me check it out at work

    That ED-209, is the winner out of the bunch

    They actually do. The popularization from the shows is what makes a character relevant, although they are more stylized to the comics than the cartoons, the recent 97 show is more than likely why they finally made a rogue and are also doing jubilee. It’s kinda like with Batman stuff. The fact that Harley Quin gets featured heavily in movies and shows and other media is why we see so much of her. She was only a cartoon add in, but her popularity means that if a company is doing a Batman related line that they’re guaranteeing a Harley at some point. Or there’s the popularity of Deadpool. He’s in current media, so he’s getting a toy. It’s unfortunate that a lesser character like Jubilee is getting the other media attention while bigger comic characters are being ignored, but Medicom is a business and they want to cash in on something while it’s popular. Before the 97 show, they were more adventurous with Psylocke, but now they want to get that popularity cash. I wouldn’t be super surprised to see Morph if it wasn’t for the difficulty of his effects over a character like colossus even though Morph wasn’t even a thing until the animated series. But he was featured in the 97 show, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
