    Arcadia VF-5000G

    lechuck replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    Just catching up with the latest pictures and this to me doesn't seem like great engineering. For something that will probably be around 250€ in price I would expect better range for leg/hip articulation and not having to worry about denting or scraping bits on the toy.

    This is so bad. Why bother with saucer separation if the battle head is going to be bland and incorrectly sculpted. Then we have thick edges around the pylons and rear, the warp nacelles missing the lower socket part that connects to the pylon, saucer impulse engines all red, main impulse engine sculpted wrong and ugly seam lines everywhere. It's like they took that age old AMT/ERTL model kit as basis and decided to make it even more uglier. Sorry, but Aoshima's Enterprise-D is still the best to me, there is nothing out there that beats it at the moment.

    Nice haul, that Strike Freedom Soul Blue must have been costly or did you somehow land a good deal? That's actually the price including tax, so the base price is 28,000 Yen. Definitely feels like Luna Park is price gouging, even compared to aftermarket prices of regular Concept 2 (sealed) we are talking anywhere from ~10k to 15k Yen markup. Not sure that is really worth it for a slightly different colour variation.

    For those curious, comparison between HMR and Hi-Spec.

    Almost forgot, Hacchaka's review for Metal Composite Gundam Deathscythe is up. https://hacchaka.net/archives/52097908.html

    Link doesn't show anything to me, is this the image (found on tfw forums) @sjr is referring to?

    It's Evolution Toy and way to pricy. I'll wait for a proper 1/100 kit or maybe a HMR version to come around.

    Personally I still prefer the HMR version. Engineering and articulation on Sentinel's take will offer a much greater experience compared to the HMR, but I just don't like Takanori's stylistic approach. Those very wide hips and the generous spacing between the crotch makes the overall silhouette and proportion incohesive, the very angular edges on the upper thighs vs. the rounded lower legs is jarring, giving it high heels instead of the flat two pronged heel design is a distinction that gets lost for the Mk.II and the exaggerated chest clamps don't do it any favours either.

    I think I might pick up MP-44S for novelty and curiosity, but I'm not big on using stickers either, that should not be a thing for MPs. On the other hand it gives fans the option to not completely be locked in with toy detailing and only having to contend with yellow eyes and silver colouring/striping if they don't want to spend the requested after-market prices for the OG MP-44 mould now. As for the trailer, plenty complained of having "yet another trailer accessory lying in the cupboard" and that it drove up the cost of MP-44 significantly (I don't quite subscribe to that). Now all of a sudden it is to little being offered, it's damned if you do or damned of you don't – Takara can never really win this.

    Amazon Japan pre-order pages are already up. Transformers Masterpiece MP-44S Optimus Prime (it's actually not named "Convoy" this time) Transformers Masterpiece MP-56+ Rigoras All the toy details on Prime are stickers, not tampo!? No factions symbols on Rigoras, so I guess stickers again. Also, the included force field accessory should have been included with MP-56 Trailbreaker in the first place.

    No comparisons yet, Blitzway Mazinkaiser won't release until end of October I think.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    lechuck replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I could see Bandai using this to test the international market acceptance of buying add-on packs.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    lechuck replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Well at least it gives fans an option to avoid Arcadia YF-19 broken arms lottery.

    It has one review on AJ at the time of writing this, so not exactly representative.

    Takara promo for MP Hoist.

    So after having watched episode two, I have to say that the ending is kind of depressing when you take the further Trek timeline into consideration. In 100+ years the status quo on the subject matter didn't really change that much in Starfleet (see DS9).
