    Not this version though! Gotta love Matchbox - a slightly shrug down trooper painted red. Dopes. I appreciate their total failure though. If the toys had been successful they would have had enough money to actually make the Sentinels . . . phew, dodged that one . . .

    Finished IMAI kit ended at 36,650 Yen https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w112906033 I would like to pick up one of these kits super cheap just to check out the hands -- and see if they work for the Toynami MPCs . . .

    I'm feeling like its suddenly possible to get a 1/48th Tread! Not sure if we'll ever see a 1/32 tho. In fact - a 1/48th Tread might be only 3 projects away; Mini Space Crab, Legioss Soldier (with all 3 heads included?) and then Tread Soldier?? And I feel confident this one will get a proper chest cover . . .

    I wonder if they tried to force the idea of the Legioss so small is because it was a triple change fighter so close to Macross -- and they were trying to make a differentiation? In the end - we all realize that human males could never fit the way they suggest and the Legioss is probably a lot closer to VF-1 size . . .

    WAVE Metallic OVA Galient goes for 56,550 Yen, I prefer the standard color. https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-u69812841 On a related note - at WF 2014, someone did a resin kit of the Type B Castle Mecha to scale with the WAVE Galient -- about 9 inches tall. I found it by chance and picked it up. Casting is very rough but its a very big kit . . .

    I need a spare $1,2000 bucks it seems . . . http://www.hlj.com/product/SHE33057/Act http://www.hlj.com/product/SHE33058/Act Sure would be nice if it were only $600 for the whole thing, but even that seems crazy . . .

    They're taking their time, ironing out the details . . . ( hopefully )

    I don't want the black one - not sure where that idea even comes from. Its not in the OVAs to my knowledge. Interested in the anime colors though . . . need a link!
  14. DarrinG
    I am not seeing it on BBTS under Dangaioh, Dangaio or Studio Halfeye - do you have a link?

    I like the fingers you made - they seem to be very hidden in the series. There is a large groove down the chest and crotch - but we should be able to put that in ourselves if we want. I plan on getting some scribing tools and start practicing at adding details like that . . .

    BUMP - anyone know anything about this?

    LOVE the sculpt! In comparing Cap's to the 1/48th Curio-Craft-san Gosu, Cap's is so much more regal and heroic, and well, threatening looking. I like the weird alien fiber fore-arm panels on the CC version, but other than that it kind of looks bloated and on too many steroids, and well ---- slightly confused and awkward . . .

    DANG! Get well Mike! You'll beat it . . .

    My vote is for Ligaa and Protector next -simultaneously- to cut down on shipping costs, and to include booster so you can make the Ligaa either way. Cap usually goes all out on these and I can't see him not including the booster. He tends to do the ultimate versions. I think most of us who ordered the other Inbits will get several of each of these - not just 1 like the Gosu and Gamo. I might get up to 4 each of the Ligaa and Protector if they are affordable . . .

    Pretty cool ---- did not think it would be available for purchase. $400 is a bit much though - maybe at $199 or so I would have been tempted . . . http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Armored-Trooper-Votoms-Watch-Scopedog-Model-SUNRISE-SEIKO-Movement-RARE-/141371665565?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item20ea686c9d

    Does anyone know anything about this pic? WF 2014 SHE Dangaioh? And a BLACK Dangaioh? Thought SHE was no more . . .

    Quite a price difference between US and Japan on Yamato Ingrams. New Unit 1 US - $275: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamato-Patlabor-AV-98-1st-NRFB-No-Reserve-/281422575071?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=belM4w8zoa2YD3oe0oy6fhqdWDc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc New Unit 1 Japan - $68,500 Yen: https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-b163331177 So wait to buy them on eBay . . .

    Just got a used Proto-Garland - and I can certainly confirm the brittle plastic, everywhere. Probably was not a good idea to get something like this used. • Handle bars loose in box • Hip broke on first touch • Back leg hose snapped off at the ends - then broke in half • Other leg hoses cracked • Orange visor in front of rider will not stay up - keeps sliding down • Right index finger snapped as I tried to put it in the trigger area ( realize now they forgot to make the index / trigger finger have the ability to go into the trigger like the VF-1 ) • Right thumb snapped off • Left thumb snapped off s h e e s h --- Snapped some pics while I was snapping parts off . . . Panel lined and detailed it up. Usually do not do that kind of thing, but I did not feel at all like I was tarnishing a mint toy. Its held together with tape and bubblegum now! The little bolts look much better in metallic - as does the front wheel hubs with the details brought out. Was able to drill out hip and carefully repair with small screw. Scew cap very obvious though. No worries, will match when I have to repair the other side I'm sure. Was also able to use micro screws to fix thumbs. I will not be able to raise the back calf jets ever due to the brittle tubes - bummer. Will have to look at this like owning an old MG, something that needs constant tweaking and repair. Great sculpt and attempt - but poor materials. Needs a V2 . . .

    EXO said he'll create one - but needs a cockpit assembly piece to make it the right size. Hey - that is a great ploy to try to get a Gosu !
