Hasbro announced that the SDCC exclusive will be hooded Cobra Commander in a suit. And like last year there will be two versions but both will be produced in higher numbers than last year's Destro.

Damn well I'm getting at least the Max 1A

Well I'm glad it does have the squat head from the last time they did 1/60s, but it doesn't look quite right to me for some reason.

You might as well get the decals ready for this kit

I think there are decals included for the TH already.

I think the best thing that Bandai could do IF they are going to reissue the Elint and Super O would be to release the Focker 1S with the Elint and the Hikaru 1J with the Super O. Rather than doing the two non-super valks together. Casual fans get to buy the nice familiar valk while us hard core fans that already have the regular valk gets a super rare valk to buy. It'll even out the their revenues while pleasing fans and collectors.

Looks a lot more like Jetfire than a lot of 1/48 customs that get made. Nice work.

Figures it would be in the Mitsuwa shopping center. I miss that place.

The good news is that there's one in the LA area. Might be time to hit that place up.

What will the next release be? A non-canon scheme.

What do we want? The VF-0D

It's so freaking gorgeous it's sick. The TH looks great, but I think the custom valk really adds to the whole display too.

Like everyone else, I want one, but I can't imagine that it'd be easy to recast....or cheap. Aw screw it, make it happen! I'll buy it.

Well I won't buy this but it gives me hope that they'll eventually scale it down and incorporate that endoskeleton into smaller scale more reasonably priced dolls similar to what they've done with the 1/48 and 1/60 valks.

Well we know they're not going to make more than 15K of the MPCs... what we don't know is how many MPCs they've already sold. It's been so long since they were issued though...

My old theory was that Toynami held onto like 5K of each one and would only offer them as giftsets with the MPCs and then there'd be another number of MPC betas that were sold separately for people who already owned one of the first 10K Alphas that got sold. If I were Toynami, that's how I would have done it (or some number variation there of). EDIT- IIRC someone said they had an alpha in the 11K region though so if Toynami has more it'd probably be only like 3K more (again IIRC).

Well if Toynami did the same thing they did with the VF-1 series then chances are they didn't make all 15K of the Scott Alpha and may be able to re-release them. 15K was just the top number that they would make it didn't mean they made them all at once. I'm betting Toynami has cash flow problems so they probably don't want to tie up all their resources in 15K Alphas. IIRC, Toynami didn't make all 15k of the Roy VF-1S at once either. When they re-issued the Roy MPC, they didn't make more than the 15K limit....they just finished out the 15k run.

which valk are you talking about?

and thank you! I got some of my inspiration from the Brickshelf member, Zizy2. You should be able to find him easily.

I meant the black VF-1.

Man, I thought the Megahouse ones were going to be bigger. Crap. Well either way I need to grab them.

I'm currently in Louisiana and I found some of wave 5 and 6at Wal-mart. I got

IG Destro

Crimson Guard

Snow Job x 2

Armored Cobra Commander

Torpedo

Rock n Roll

and I finally decided to pick up a Hooded Cobra Commander

Not bad but what happens to the "backpack" in gerwalk for the valk?

I'm actually going to be making some small scale valkyries myself and there are some nice ideas in your buildings that I may borrow.

Stupid business trip leaving me out of the F&S loop. Sounds like you guys went to Curry House....haha...the new Carl's Jr.

Well at $560ish I've made my decision.

Last year I think they were pretty easy to find so someone may still have a set lying around. Before that though they were tough...and kind of expensive for what they were.

It's nice but I'm on the fence about actually buying it.

Okay, I'll say it. It's about time!

So you just want to see what it would look like with darker FPs?

Sucks they are releasing a Strike Hikaru 1S in the main line. Defeats the purpose of having the Hikaru 1S be an exclusive.

Register me too! I have to try to defend my crown.

Nice job but I'd hate to kitbash a revoltech.

Yeah if you read the link that Kiririth posted you can see how I tried to attach the fighter to the stand. It works pretty well but I'm trying to figure out a way to make it more supported.
