So here's my SV-51 after I got it back from having it weathered. What do you guys think? (Pardon the crappy pics). Good news is it covered up the mess I made when I used clear nail polish to tighten the wing (looks better too IMO). Bad news is the right wing is still floppy as hell. 

That's how you make lemonade out of a lemon! 

Yep, Halicon OG WERKZ

I just realized I pre-ordered in April!  Is it normal for companies to delay releasing the product THIS MUCH?  I don’t have a ton or pre-order experience. 

In general, no. For Sentinel, three month delays are common.

It's not that uncommon, Transformers Masterpiece MP-45 Bumblebee has also been delayed a similat amount from July to November. A lot of the time it has to do with factory delays, especially when higher skilled workers are required.

Here’s my MG INGRAM2 head and cockpit lighting test. 

 

Amazing work!

Sure. Contact this guy, has many 3D models for sale:

 

Thanks! I sent him a message.

I intend to buy the original 3D file so I can make some adjustments and articulate it using Revoltech joints 

Is the STL for sale? I could maybe use a 1/48 as well.

Meiccoms MEP have a scale poll on Facebook for their upcoming Invid Scout. 1/55 or 1/48.

From KC rep:

"We are preparing for the Toysoul in Dec and there will be more action Figure prototype at that time."

I was asking about Dana and if there would be any other new figures to show any time soon.

Very nice! Is the red Bioroid the old SOL kit?

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but... Was the blue kit ever released??? 

Those are custom kits. Only the red one had a kit from SOL which was different from the one above.

Just peachy. 

I really hope this is so they get everything right and painted correctly.

So, Houquet release is optimistically December 2020 at the earliest?

I think it just comes down to their factory and release schedule. This appears to happen a lot with Sentinel releases.

They are aware:

Great! Thanks!

Looks more like an assembly problem than a CAD fault. The factory QC will have to bear a lot of the responsibility for this.

Hopefully they come up with replacement parts.

The exhibition details are up now.  HMR is listed in the event under "Robot Center!"  So there is still hope:

 

Cool, thanks.

Hopefully not just repaints.

This one?

That will do nicely, thanks!

Does anyone know when the next Tamashii display event is? Just to see if there is anymore Macross Hi-Metal to be released...

Nor do I, so I don't know. The Facebook page was sent to me by RuskiiVFAussie. 

The direct link is HERE, I don't know why the embedded one didn't work properly.

Yeah, I'm rather underwhelmed as well.

Might look okay next to an old Gakken Alpha... and would probably suit the crappy '80s toy proportions better, too.  

Not digging the aesthetic?

He's a full head height taller, it should be about half that.

MEP Toys' Ieega/scout prototype

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.

Do you have KC's Minmay fig? How tall is he compared to her?

It's a bit of a let-down that he would be taller than Stick and Rey, he wasn't tall either.

Is there going to be another global financial crisis? Let's have a look...

• Inverted yield curve? Check!
• Large fluctuations in stock markets? Check!
• Hoquet Ride Armor prototype finalised? Check!

All signs point to an imminent market crash!

Thanks enphily! The Sentinel Legioss looks better each time I see it.

I can handle the delay if they are making improvements. But mainly because there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
