1/12 Market Watch You need about 30,000 yen to make your Red Shoulder Custom these days: https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-f139632525 https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w101782560

But I see EXO has 17,000 ! I'm going to check back through and make sure he had something valid to say for every one of those . . .

These cases only open from the sides - and are quite wide. So to arrange the content, it would be great to have super long arms to reach inside while you stood in front . . .

What is your rough timeline? Within this year?

Is that last one a 2 million one? ; P

Got to do my first dust an rearrange with the duel Polaski display cases. I kept thinking - "This setup is definitely not for the perfectionist." The black wood, the glass - the mirrors --- any spec of dust is magnified under those lights. But then I thought that maybe this IS the setup for the perfectionist. ---------------- Like having a black car, the work is doubled but the finished look can be pretty cool . . . I just wish I was Kareem-Abdul Jabar so that I could stand in front and reach my hands together inside. Playing a game of posing Jenga while avoiding touching any flesh to any part of the glass is trying at times . . .

WOW - 300,000 for that one? I know - we need to start a thread asking if Macross cels are now 'out of reach' for fans. Looks like they might be for me . . . ------- Hey - that was my 2,000th post!

Unrelated to Macross - but a Totoro cel just went for 257,000 yen . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-b158817087

Hmmm - cool. It does not look like the paint is on the outside - but inside somehow . . .

How are the eyes colored?

1/350 Scale thread... Mospeada, Southern Cross and more!

Those are great links - lotta good content. I started this hovertank drawing approx a million years ago and never did anything with it . . .

Neither did Jaws or the original Alien- so this is lining up to be a classic! : P

Having dabbled in my own projects - I can only guess at how MONSTROUSLY difficult this will be to pull off well, or even to see through to the end with out giving up. A fully variable scratch-built Legioss? Good luck. I will be UBER impressed if you manage to complete it . . .

I still like my Betas too - if they just sit there and I do not touch them . . .

I can only add that the Bandai SPEC Dragonar and Layzner figs are INCREDIBLE. And those titles are very niche are they not? And they continue to support each of these series with new releases. RUN don't walk and get one of these. The Falguen is supreme, as an example. Die-cast endo-skeleton, all the right materials, high-grade plastics, TIGHT joints, lots of accessories and amazing packaging. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-Chogokin-Spec-XS-11-XFMA-09-Draguna-Falguen-JP-/220578973870?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item335b8808ae I've bought - and THEN SOLD - almost all Megahouse, CMs and other off brands because they do not measure up. Shotty materials, design and they simply fall apart. WAVE does seems to be great most of the time, but when I see Bandai I don't wonder whether it will be a good product or not . . .

I'm kind of liking fat-zilla so far, but will have to see it on screen for final opinion. I DID see the first bay-formers movie, and that was the last one I'll ever see. The designs literally looked like garbage . . .

And my wife wonders why I want to keep the window shade closed in the room where I keep my Ingram Unit 2. It might be worth one of our kids tuitions some day . . .
-
Seriously. Thing is a floppy mess waist down. Maybe there is a lock or something I am missing when you reconfigure the waist area around for soldier mode. And the hips extending in and out ? Or fix for that ?

Patlabor Yamato - MARKET WATCH A new Ingram 1 just sold for - 82- Tha- Tha- THOUSAND Yen . . . Those crazy eBay prices seem almost normal now. They will have to double to be crazy again . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-n130057437

Two pack of scouts Then Gosu I'm in . . . -
M&M already please. And the Phalanx and Spartan. Make Phalanx and Spartan come with a 2 part chain display base - need both destroids to get both pieces of the base to click together -- this will encourage more purchases. Base works great with existing valks as well . . .

Has the displeasure of handling a Toynami Beta again last night. Had been a while since I had taken one of mine out and tried to do anything with it. Other than the chest, shoulders and arms -- this product is a fail. MUST- HAVES: • Locking mechanism for hips so they do not slide ( out, and in-and-out! ) constantly to their extended position • Hip joints themselves are too floppy - so the combo of the floppy and the sliding (jokes inserted here) is horrible - just terrible - worst part of this toy • Simple knee twist please - so that a proper a-stance can be achieved. Is that so hard? A twisting joint?? • Feet / toes need a twisting joint as well, so when a-stance is achieved they can be turned to touch the ground better • The whole waist area SUCKS - its totally loose and needs a LOCKING pin or click to hold it in place in soldier mode - then unlock to change to bomber - second worst thing about it • The cockpit joint BLOWS - does not stay up at all in bomber mode - I took the cockpit off last night to discover what Toynami thought would be a good hinge for that - : ( nice engineering there • Chest cover that STORES RIGHT BEHIND the HUGE cockpit GAP in bomber mode - this would have locked the cockpit firmly in place in bomber, then when switching to soldier that piece goes over those big ugly fried egg eyes AND this is all with a Beta that has been opened, transformed a few times and displayed - ZERO actual play or wear The arms are pretty awesome though -- sheesh -- wish this could have been carried through the whole piece . . .

How about a 1/60 VC-33? -
Here are some pics I took while testing to see if the Votoms Fyana figure would work for a custom pilot. The bright sunlight shows a lot of the detail . . .
