    The Stallion came in for Baron Karza yesterday. Old school tasty goodness right here.

    Until you just said that!

    I think that's the canard (if that's the right word).

    I've been known to fix anodizing with a Sharpie! I agree with your bullet point list above. Especially the art part of it. I wouldn't know where to start designing some of this stuff. I don't have 20yrs of experience to fall back on. If I were making something to compete with let's say the DX I would buy some, take them apart, figure out what I want to do better, go find people that I can lean on for advice and then doe a lot of FEA work before I felt comfortable putting out a product with my reputation behind it. So, I won't be designing any toys!

    For sure the cost would be astronomical compared to a plastic. You wouldn't be able to have tight joints like you can with plastic. You could hard anodize though. If done correctly it's extremely durable. I suspect most of the plastic issues we see with toys is down to very little actual materials engineering and then quality control. There is no reason why plastic can't do the job and do it well.

    Devils advocate. How about anodized aluminum?

    How do you get glued parts separated?

    It's real basic and relatively cheap. Fingers crossed.

    I LOVE Steel Jeg! I have the Evolution Grand Action on PO (that's keeps getting pushed off). And can't wait for Fewture to release that Ex Gokin!!!! Gotte have! Kuma wasn't thrilled with the Alphamax. I'm glad I saw his review and didn't pull the trigger. Looks cool though!

    Right! One of the stand outs from when i was a kid. The Stallion will be here in a few days. And because I'm the "gotta have one in every mode guy" I got a couple "lots" of random parts cheap that will make up the Stallion with Barron Karza's body Centaur thing. Too bad this guy isn't more popular. A modern toy of his would be killer. Better yet, one from the Fewture Ex Gokin line where the "mosnterize" and roid out classic characters. Like this Mazinger for example. I love this toy!!!

    Try lube first. If that doesn't work you can use something like those cans of air for cleaning keyboards to spray down the pin. If you hold the cans open "too long" they will shoot super cold air out. That will shrink the pin which will open the clearance up. Or you could put the pin in ice. I jammed those two point together and hoped for the best. I didn't break anything. They were TIGHT though.
