    Doesn't invalidate what I said. It's hovertanks or bust!
  2. CoryHolmes
    Hovertanks, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!
  3. CoryHolmes
    I want.

    Damn, gone way too soon 😭 I got out of the MMA game a long time ago, during Rumble's reign of terror. I stepped away because I decided that I couldn't be a part of an industry that revolves around convincing young men (and women now) that permanent brain damage is just fine while the stockholders are the only ones who get rich in the end. Maybe if the UFC had a long-term retirement contract or health services, instead of washing their hands of what they encouraged to happen and then bringing in the next round of suckers to fill the gap... WWE was scummy with how they treated their talent in the 80s and 90s, and the UFC is no different.

    I'm always amazed at your ability to break a subject down into simpler shapes, and then combine those shapes into a 3D object. Plus the patience to actually see it through, since I'd never get past cutting out the images and gluing them onto the blocks... Though at this stage, Pic 20 has a surprising similarity to an Alpha Fighter's leg assembly. Makes it easy to believe it came from the same human service.

    Oh. Um. I blame sleep deprivation.

    Maybe I'm just slow tonight, but how do you have a finished piece beside the body in photo 01?
  8. CoryHolmes
    Probably a cost-cutting measure. Less tooling, less designing, less of everything expensive.
  9. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, what he said! At this point, this new trash is just awful.
  10. CoryHolmes
    I've always head-canoned that as the boots being part of the power suit when in Battloid mode. So the human's squishy feet aren't bearing all the weight of the mecha on his back. But these? These aren't anywhere near that kind of style. This is as bothersome to me as exaggerated bust lines on Arcee toys.

    Blocky heels I don't mind. It's the pointy high-heeled look that even Sentinel gave their female rider. Yes, she's a girl, no need to give her high heels in combat armour.
  12. CoryHolmes
    Hnnngh. Imma hafta see what the final cost is before committing. I want one of each gender, but dunno if I can afford either of them at the moment. Pretty please consider doing Dana Sterling's ASC armour next? Pwetty pwetty pweeeeave?
  13. CoryHolmes
    That's it! One of the things that's bothered me most about these "modern" designs is how all the figures are wearing high heels and stilettos. Dumb, dumb design decision. Gimme the bigger feet of the OG every day.
  14. CoryHolmes
    Would that go on the same base body figure? Or are the proportions just not proportionate enough?
  15. CoryHolmes
    This settles it: there can be no comparison between the OG designs and the new ones. OG all the way!
  16. CoryHolmes
    Ahem! Ahem good sir, I say ahem! The correct term is "Boomer", not android.
  17. CoryHolmes
    Hennngh 🤔 They're just too busy, with too much going on. I vastly prefer the original's simplistic and blocky design.
  18. CoryHolmes
    Just got my Super VF-1S. All the paint and decals look decent, although I haven't had time to go over the figure in detail. I'm struggling getting the nosecone snapped into the pelvis rods, though. I just don't want to gorilla my way into breakage after just one day
  19. CoryHolmes
    That's better. I mean, it's got some more life to it... but why'd they have to sully my beloved Ode to Joy with this? That song is NOT meant for a hyperviolent, hypersexualized cyberpunk dystopia future. Just the opposite, in fact.
  20. CoryHolmes
    Agreed. It's too busy with too many things all going on at once.
  21. CoryHolmes
    Hovertank = me excited! For the price you're charging, is it just for the 3D files or will you print and ship completed kits out?
  22. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, but seeing the complexity some other 3P figures get to achieve that slavish accuracy, I'd like to see some here. I want there to be a hidden face swap gimmick and not just "twist the head around and ignore the backside". Stuff like that. But I really quite doubt it.
  23. CoryHolmes
    So I went ahead and preordered X-Transbot's James//Bond figure. I so badly want it to be a good MP-type Punch/Counterpunch, but at that pricepoint I'm sure I'm going to be disappointed by it merely being a "flip around, adjust the arms, try not to look at the face on the back" figure.
  24. CoryHolmes
    I'm still cautiously optimistic about this.
  25. CoryHolmes
    Oh hush, you This is a very good point. It's almost like this new redesign is trying too hard. But I'm cautiously optimistic about it.
