@Morgen Black & @tekering, thanks guys, going to PO these kits. 

Has anyone figured out if these kits are 1/12 scale, close to that size or waaaay smaller?

I get the feeling that someone ran out of ideas again, or just ran out of money again 

Those T-Mobile commercials weren't paying enough. 

Finally...

Looking fantastic, is this for the Toynami Alphas or for the old GAKKEN Legioss? Now, we need to see some hands.

Progress on Mr. Stalker

What series is this from? I like the design & color scheme a lot. 

Well, at least my Maia Alpha fighter isn't alone anymore. 

I wanted to see if I could match the paint used on the MPC with my Poseable Alpha... sadly it worked until it didn't. I had initially nailed the colors, that purplish/lavender color is Purple, Rose pink, a dash of red and some midnight blue all mixed up. The daker shade is Navy blue, black and a dash of purple. 

Everything looked great until I applied some clear-coat, I knew it might darken things a bit, but that purple is darker than I wanted it to be... #%$@!

In the end, this old Alpha Poseable served as a test bed for A) could I match the colors, B) could I make the air-intakes look like a Shadow type and C) is this worth trying again on a Beta or another poseable Alpha. 

The answer is yes, only next time with an airbrush, properly made decals, Tamiya/Mr. Hobby paints and something other than clear-coat or just be really careful next time in the future. 

@nightmareB4macross That custom VF-1S keeps getting more impressive with each new addition. 

To be honest, just the intro alone is quite creepy & eerie, between the music & visuals. 

Last Sunday's episode was by far the best so far. Everything is starting to come together, the Native Americans, showing how Pennywise arrived on Earth and why he can't leave Derry was told very well. I'm ready for the next episode. 

That bathroom scene... Yikes!!!

Those look great, if only they were the Expeditionary Force type like the ones used by Maia's Alpha/Legioss. 

I forgot I had a spare Metallic version of the Poseable Alphas (Not a fan of the Metallics), so it's time for a new paint job. 

Just like the MPC Betas, disassembly is super easy, barely an inconvenience. 

I stripped the old paint off, then primer, next step is some more ultra fine sanding before painting.

Just curious, does anyone here still make custom decals?

Ah, the sunk cost fallacy triumphs yet again at the House of Mouse.  What a pity.

ChatGPT and Noah Hawley will be allowed to inflict another season of their D- community college creative writing assignment on the defenseless Alien franchise. 

If nothing else, one has to admire their commitment to ensuring that neither Prometheus nor Covenant will be remembered as Alien's most embarrassingly stupid installment.

I lost interest in this show by the end of episode 2 and really had no desire to watch the rest. It sounds like I didn't miss out on much. 

If anyone wants to grab a VF-31A cheap, 25,000 yen from the SAHRA store.

Do I up my A's to 6?

Yes.

So, is this another TWE for the 31A or a standard release? 

Just watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Overall, a good film, minus the ending. 

The ending gave me the following reaction: 

I prefer forums, especially this one. I've never met any of you in person but oddly enough, just about all of you feel like people I'd hang out with.

Social media like FB was kind of cool in the beginning, now it's just a black hole of weirdos, bots, AI trolls doing their best to stir up anger & political division no matter what you post. I used FB for years for my Helmet business but deleted the entire account a few years ago, the SPAM and troll/bot accounts became more that I wanted to deal with. Twitter (not calling it the current name) was a dumpster fire by 2020, I can't imagine what it's like now. Instagram is decent but I pretty much avoid that one too. 

This forum and a few others have felt like a home away from home for years now, a major thank you to @Shawn for keeping MW alive & well. 

In the end this Forum rules, we're all a bunch of Macross, Anime, Sci-Fi, fantasy, toy collecting, model building, art loving fans, dorks, nerds and some cool kids mixed together. I'll take this every day over a social media site with billions of strangers and bots. 

Stay classy everyone!! 

Awesome!!! That was really fast, very happy to hear it arrived safely. 

Have a blast with the Angel Bird! 

Still on the hunt for a used/cheap "loose" Toynami Poseable Zeta Alpha. Regular or Metallic version. 

Big thank you to @Morgen Black for a super simple & easy transaction. Good to know the Angel Bird will finally get some use. 

Watched episode 1 of Welcome to Derry... so far, it's ok. Some shocking & creepy scenes but the creature that may or may not be Pennywise was a mood killer, felt out of place and not what I was hoping for.

That said, I'm ready for episode 2. 

Angel Bird is sold & paid for! Thank you!!!
