Buh? you do realize this is supposed to be a perfect transformation valk, unless I missed something. you sure your not mistaking this for the craptastic 1/100 version they canceled?

I nabbed my APC today. I have to say, I think this thing is more detailed than the dropship itself. It's probably because it has more details crammed into a smaller space than the dropship, but still I'm impressed. I'd love it if they made a Sulaco and a Loader.

Where is Bishop?

hrm... all these bad reviews make me not want to try and collect Hot Toys stuff... and this was looking to be a promising line. Their QC sounds worse than yamatos. Yikes, the qualiy of the real thing, compared to the proto, is crap...

Where's Gorman? I want Gorman! 319681[/snapback] You too! 319683[/snapback] No I want the greatest marine of all, Wierzbowski!

when are these due out? And why Drake? I'd rather have Hudson than Drake...

You know I heard that along with dissolving Takara, Tomy is going to literally dissolve all Transformers toys and merchandise in a giant Wonka-like vat of acid. Not only that, but trannies are going to be mailed special "golden tickets" to come to Japan with their TF toys and be dissolved as well. 319005[/snapback] Oh, so now you're telling me that they've joined forces with Harmony Gold? 319021[/snapback] Hey now, don't give them any ideas! 319068[/snapback] I dunno, if HG joined forces with the newly formed takara/tomy we might actually see some decently made RT toys.

anyone else concerned this might mean the end of all transformers? or worse, hasbro will start designing them again O.o

I shudder at the thought of what a zoid's transformers hybrid would look like, wait we already got that with transmetal beastwars.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned evil dead 1 and 2 and army of darkness.

I have to admit Crocodille Dundee is another movie high on my guilty pleasure list.

Okay, there are movies in your life. Movies that you know are bad, but you love em anyway. Anyway, mine are Short Circuit 1 and 2 and Black Hole.

Actually, the super O and Elint have different two-seater cockpits than the 1D. the 1D is inline, while the other two bubble up behind the first seat. But if you're not really picky (like Bandai) you can do it I guess. Cap, on the other hand, strikes me as the kind of nit-picker I like in model makers. 317250[/snapback] Well crap, I forgot all about that.

sounds like a dumb game. The best way to not endorse such stupidity is simply, don't buy it, and don't go around bitching about it. Controversy is the best form of free advertising. Hey isn't that simple?

Well, the heatshield remold would be reuseable for the super O and elint, so it wouldn't be a total waste of resources. I'm more concerned that it may just not be physically possible to cram a two seater heatsheild into a 1/48 chest. though if they have to I would not be to miffed if they resorted to a extra clip on part just so we get a 2 seater in 1/48 scale. While normally I am a perfect transformation nazi, I'm willing to over look that small detail just to get 1/48 double seaters.

Thanks for the recommendations all. I'll have to check a few of these titles out.

Hey, it's been a while since I've watched any anime and I was hoping for some suggestions. I normally prefer serious anime, but in truth as long as it has fun stories and good characters I really don't care about the genre or tone of the show.

I wholely agree. I saw appleseed a few weeks back, the backgrounds and mecha were great. the characters were meh. Very stiff and lifeless. Though pixar time and again proves it is possible to breath life into CG characters.

anyone have decent pictures of the weathering job on the 01?

dude, do you have any idea how big that would be? a 1/60th VF-0S will be larger than a VF-1 in 1/48.

I dunno, I've always found black to be a more menacing scheme.

Not this christmas. Maybe next.
