Got the KC Rick Hunter 1/12 figure delivered today. He stands quite a bit taller than Sentinel's 1/12 Mospeada figures when you place them next to each other. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality and execution of the piece; while it is not on the same level of excellence of a Figma figure, it is quite good is its own right and a fantastic rendition of the character; likely the best we will ever see at this size. Comes with a handgun and rifle, but the outstanding accessory is definitely the helmet. Now I can't wait for Lisa Hayes and any future releases, as I'm all in... Roy, Max, Miriya, and Minmay in Chinese dress at the very least.

While the second and third Rambo movies are nothing more than typical 80s bullet porn schlock where the hero just mows down countless bad guys, specially the 3rd one, they are very entertaining for what they are. First Blood, on the other hand, was a repudiation of the mistreatment, by arrogant and condescending civilians who just saw veterans all as vagrants, junkies, and trouble makers due to the vilification they received in the media of the time, of American servicemen returning Vietnam and trying to reintegrated into society; John Rambo was pushed into going "full Rambo" because of the dehumanization, abuse, humiliation and disdain he suffered at the hands of small minded good'ol boys, specially the holier-than-thou police chief, in a Podunk town John just wanted to pass through.

The reason for the huge aftermarket markup is that the release of the VF-31A was such a cluster-frak on Bandai's part, coupled with many vendors who took in more orders than they could deliver... due again to Bandai's factory messing up production and suppliers messing up distribution; also, CF and plain it may be, the A has unique wings to the 31 line, and is the only one not skittles colored, which has it's own appeal, specially to real-world fighter aircraft enthusiasts. You'll also need to wait until hell freezes over before you see a reissue of this particular bird since it was sold as a TWE item, ostensibly to order, and as such a one-off; the only hope would be for a release specific to one of the mainline characters (too lazy to look up which) who flew a somewhat personalized unit, a movie colors variant [if the movie(s) even have such a thing], or a CF with a different modex to distinguish it from the first, limited edition, version -- the price of which will eventually stabilize somewhere, but unless people who have extras start dumping them onto the market all at once, don't expect it to get anywhere near affordable.

Star Trek: Picard (CBS All-Access)

Arcadia 1/60 VF-4A ‘Flashback 2012’ Premium Finish & Regular Release
mechaninac replied to no3Ljm's topic in Toys
Nice semantics play, there... but jokes aside, you know exactly what I mean. However, if Arcadia is going to make Perfect Finish their de facto standard, with the commensurate substantial hike in MSRP, then I'm out for good.- 1102 replies

I find myself oddly glad this appears to be a PF only release; it'll make it easy for me to ignore it and save the money... I'd be all over it if ends up being offered as a standard version.- 1102 replies

Star Trek: Picard (CBS All-Access)
mechaninac replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Sigh! Looks like Star Trek: Picard will be, just as STD is, a hard unceremonious pass. I'll give a damn about Star Trek again once the fools in charge of the property prove themselves capable of giving a damn about it as well... what a shame. I guess I still have Axanar to look forward to... if the folks behind it ever deliver.- 2171 replies

Arcadia 1/60 VF-4A ‘Flashback 2012’ Premium Finish & Regular Release
mechaninac replied to no3Ljm's topic in Toys
Yeah, a PF is a no-sale for me as, in addition to the ridiculous over-charging, I don't own any PFs and am not about to open that can of worms. If Arcadia decides to come out with a regular finish version that wouldn't look out of place next to all the other 1/60s I have, for a "reasonable" -- per current Arcadia pricing standards -- MSRP, then I'll be game for a copy; if not, I can live without it, perfectly content with my plain gray VF-4G and HM-Rs.- 1102 replies

Arcadia 1/60 VF-4A ‘Flashback 2012’ Premium Finish & Regular Release
mechaninac replied to no3Ljm's topic in Toys
Wasn't the excuse for why Yamato/Arcadia never released a FB2012 version that they couldn't acquire a license for that particular VF-4 livery due to it never being depicted as anything other than in Fighter mode in the OVA? It would then stand to reason that Bandai's licensing and release of the HM-R (~1/100) VF-4 in Hikaru's colors from the animation meant that the 3 mode transformation of the mecha was fully legitimized and all ambiguity removed, opening the door for Arcadia to license a 1/60 version, and since they already have the molds...- 1102 replies
