  1. That VT-1 is hands down the luckiest find I've ever come across so far. The legs, boosters, leg armor, backpack & chest are all the same shade of orange on mine. The Armor is all molded in orange while the rest of the Valkyrie appears to be painted orange over the ivory/cream colored plastic. Even if you're getting the Bandai DX version, which looks stunning I'd still recommend tracking down the Yamato V.2 as well.
  2. I had two HMR VT-1's, got them on PO and both had different shades of orange which visually really bugged me and in turn I sold both of them. The plus side is that I found a pristine Yamato V.2 VT-1 for $65.00 shipped on Ebay last year & I'm happy as can be. (Didn't come with the box but that's ok.) As I'm not a fan of the whole TWE concept, I'll hold out for someone who bought one to many & willing to sell a spare.
  3. Yeah, Shin's HMR has a heavy Yamato color scheme influence with a Dash of Hasegawa's. While I do think it looks good (And I'm looking forward to getting mine), I would have preferred the Arcadia 0A color scheme as that is straight from the anime.
  4. I never got Hikaru's VF-4 on the original run, so I'll for sure get one of these. The display stand is a really nice touch too.
  5. "Finally, slam the brakes on quality for Mad Max 3 Beyond Thunderdome." 😂😂
  6. That is the one, the only real-life Galactic Fairy, Eunha of Gfriend & VIVIZ. (Special shout out to Isa of STAYC, she's in my top 5.) As for the idea of a new 1/48 VF-1D conversion kit, I have a DX VF-1D and despite all that the Bandai toy offers, I still prefer the Yamato 1/48 for Fighter mode. I'd happily keep my DX in Gerwalk or Battroid but strictly keep the Yamato in fighter.
  7. Nice, at least with two and "IF" you choose to display them, you can do one with Misa & one with Minmay. I feel you with the lack of display space, I have to get creative with the limited room I have.
  8. How many did you order?
  9. We watched this Sunday, we chuckled and with one scene in particular we broke out laughing damn near in tears. Greatest movie of all time? No, but it's a fun goofy quirky comedy.
  10. All these years later and we still have dedicated BSG fans out there, check out this 1/1 scale Viper MKII.
  11. As usual I am super late to the party, currently I'm halfway through Season 3 of FOR ALL MANKIND, so far, it's a very good show, good acting, great FX. I'm ready for season 4 & then eventually 5.
  12. Is anyone else unable to see the pictures @captain america is posting?
  13. So, is this just simply a recreation of the Toynami Beta fighter? Same size/scale? If so, you'd be better off to make a separate Fighter mode cockpit section and separate chest section for Soldier mode that can be swapped out, this way you're not repeating the major mistake of Toynami with the cockpit section simply folding down... something that CM's did correctly. I wish you luck on this project, this would be fun for customizing and most definitely creating a Shadow Beta/Dark Tread.

    Hi-Metal R

    Wake me up when SV-51's & VF-11B/11C's are announced.
  15. I'm amazed that Keenan Thompson didn't break, especially all the background actors. As one YouTuber commented, "Those are some STONE-FACED background actors."
  16. That's what made it so hilarious, watching Heidi Gardner absolutely lose it was comedy gold. I'm convinced that during the dress rehearsal Mikey Day didn't look like that.
  17. For those who want the 50th Anniversary VF-1J, may the Toy God's smile upon you in getting one. As for me, I'll pass & keep patiently waiting for a Cannon Fodder VF-1A.
  18. Thank you for clarifying that, I wasn't sure if it was all 171's or just the Nightmare. I might have to get one of these revivals, if anything else it includes the Armor.
