Looking good. I totally forgot how big the eyes are.

Your Stick has yellowed Noel? Both my Beagle Stick and Rei have yellowed thigh armor. 

Hey Ignacio. Yeah. On my first Stick. Both thigh armors, lower portion of the helmet (chin guard area), and the wheels.

I got it now....this is the "game". You have  to buy Nexx to get Hibiki pilot, next vf-2 to get  Nexx pilot. So you will have to buy ALL the releases to get the right combination.....

Smart ....

Or why buy ALL when you can just paint it? I mean, if you think about it's much cheaper that way. Don't you agree?

Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope

Hahaha!  I was thinking of the same thing earlier, JVM. But decided not to post it. Don't want to start something. 

How about Jurassic World then?

I used premixed developer 40 hair gel cream.  The cream is viscous and thick so it's easier to apply.  This is the one I used.  

Hope that helps.

So it's safe to apply it directly? No mixture needed?

Thanks. I might try to apply it on one of my Beagle Stick.

lol, thanks, i should have looked up how to properly spell it before i wrote it. 

You're welcome. The spelling in German is something like this -- 'Scheiße'. I also checked and shaiza still shows up on web search and it's basically the same thing or it means crap. Probably it's the phonetic version of scheisse for English language people since we don't use certain letter in the Alphabet such as 'ß' like other European countries. Don't worry guys. I just Google'd this.

I have to say... that’s a terrible system! 

Sad to say, it is actually. But it is what it is. They set up the system like that and it's how they do the business. And it's why we really do need to read all those Policies implemented and their FAQ's first before we started do business with them. And most collectors here just swallow that whole concept because it's the only way to get our figures from abroad.

Lucky you.

Open it! Open it!

^ Nice! It really has that centerpiece shelf presence.

For the gerwalk lovers

Wow! The nosecone can swivel from left to right? 

Curious. Are you planning on putting some metal content into it?

That looks good!

But now you're making me want a HMR Hikaru VF-1S. 

I really do love his guest stint in Mallrats. Funny and yet clever. Makes me want to watch the movie again. 

Or they should just lock the thread first for the time being until there's really 'new official announcement' for it. I mean, 40 pages in now and there's no concrete thing going on yet.

I hope so. We’ve been due for one for some time now.

Yellow!!! They need to start taking PO’s for that.

What's shaiza ?

If he’s referring to the German word ‘scheisse’, then what it means is ‘sh!t’.

I think its Bat-shu too.  I read that the designer Mamoru Nagano was asked to simplify his designs because the manufacturer couldn't make his intricate designs, so he toned them down for toys.  Here's the original design from Five Star Stories, much more intricate, and looks like a black knight.  The same designer mamoru nagano also designed mechs in Gundam Z, which influenced later designs of other mech lines.  His designs are noted for feminine and organic look, and high heels, compared with his contemporaries' designs of blocky robots.   If Bandai would add these bots to the HMR line, I'd buy them all.  With Bandai's current tech, they can and should issue this line in HMR.

Five Star Stories was created after he finished L-Gaim. So it’s impossible that he was asked to simplify the earlier L-Gaim designs for toy development because he made intricate designs for FFS treatment afterwards.

Fiddly? So the Evolution version sucks? Did they adapt the same transform mechanism? I was hoping the much bigger scale would have some advantages over the Bandai version (Mine's (HMR Nexx) in the pipeline btw)

Yes. Do you own a EvoToys VF-2SS? And no, Bandai didn’t adapt EvToys transforming mechanism. Bandai made it better sans the arm and legs tab locking mechanism. This is why it’s fiddly for me. But the rest it was better than the EvoToys. And Bandai came after Evo release. So in that sense, Bandai corrected what EvoToys cannot do.

And a 100 pages worth of bashing NY for the VF-31A fiasco.

Do Pokemons talk in the cartoon?

I only know Pikachu doing 'Pika. Pika. Pikachoo.'

How is the HMR VF-2SS? I really like the fighter but don't care about the SAP. Don't know if it's worth buying or not, seems really fiddly.

I have to agree it's fiddly but not so much like the 1/60 counterpart. It's the best VF-2SS out there so far.

The world of Pokémon comes to life!

The first-ever live-action Pokémon movie, “POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character in the first-ever live-action movie based on the iconic face of the global Pokémon brand—one of the world’s most popular, multi-generation entertainment properties and most successful media franchises of all time.

Fans everywhere can now experience Pikachu on the big screen as never before, as a talking detective Pikachu, a Pokémon like no other. The film also showcases a wide array of beloved Pokémon characters, each with its own unique abilities and personality.

The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

“POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” also stars Justice Smith (“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”) as Tim; Kathryn Newton (“Lady Bird,” TV’s “Big Little Lies”) as Lucy, a junior reporter following her first big story; and Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (“Godzilla,” “The Last Samurai”) as Lt. Yoshida.

Directed by Rob Letterman (“Goosebumps,” “Monsters Vs. Aliens”), the “POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” creative filmmaking team includes two-time Oscar nominated director of photography John Mathieson (“The Phantom of the Opera,” “Gladiator”), production designer Nigel Phelps (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Lies”) and Oscar-winning editor Mark Sanger (“Gravity”). Visual effects are by Moving Picture Company (“Wonder Woman”) and Framestore (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”).

Launched in 1996 to overwhelming response, the Pokémon brand is a global sensation that now encompasses a robust video gaming fandom with over 300 million units sold worldwide; the Pokémon Trading Card Game available in 11 languages with more than 23.6 billion cards shipped; an animated television series in its 21st season that is available in more than 160 countries; and over 20 animated films; as well as books, manga comics, music, toys, merchandise, and apps, including the wildly popular Pokémon GO, that has been downloaded over 850 million times and is enjoyed across the globe by fans of all ages.

“POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” is set for release on Friday, May 10, 2019.

The film will be distributed outside of Japan and China by Warner Bros. Pictures, in Japan by Toho Company, Ltd. and by Legendary East in China.

I'm just going on the bases if the Arcadia VF-1J with the GBP gets reissued on PE Format. 

We all know that the valk will be dotted up with more tampo graphs and weathered out, there's not much area to darken the GBP since its mostly in blue sans the white areas that can be actually darkened. 

Am I right on my hypothesis? 

Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy. Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”) and produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”), Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.

Two days after I arrive in Japan! ...Sadly I had preordered this monster on CDJapan (well, not too sad cos the price was just too good)

I'm pretty sure you're going to pickup another one while you're in Japan.
