  1. I could not financially afford a Mospeada revival anyway. But I do hope Toynami's Glaug is successful enough that they consider a line of Invid vinyls in 1/48 / 155. I could handle that...
  2. That didn't take long !
  3. And to think some laughed at me when I said: M O S P E A D A is BACK !
  4. Want the Phalanx as a kit or actual release - whatever, just bring it on, and don't forget the ground crew...
  5. Just an update on what the Mospeada Inbit kits from WF are fetching on yahoo Japan auctions: 1/72 Arcadia Gosu - 10,050 yen, $126 1/48 CurioCraftsan Enforcer Gamo - 11,500 yen, $145 1/48 CurioCraftsan Scout Set Eagers - 9,250 yen, $116 1/48 CurioCraftsan Trooper Gurab - 13,500 yen, $170 ! Hope the winner bidder was one of E2046's suppliers . . .
  6. Another Arcadia 1/72 Gosu is up for bid, quite reasonable so far... http://www.rinkya.co...tion-g117875781
  7. Here's another pic of the 1/48... Looking forward to Mike's progress on the 1/32-ish line!
  8. 'How big the squid got' is by far not the worst thing about the movie...
  9. There are 2 thin, vertical slots in the Beta chest that I think accommodate the pegs necessary for a chest cover. These 2 slots are just inside the 2 circles things that slide in and out. I will take some photos and maybe throw out a sketch soon to keep the ball rolling...
  10. I love how the big bend in the figure's pipe weapon is there so you can wrap it right around the smashed VF-1A's smashed dome...
  11. May Cap be the Bret Farve, Michael Jordan of MW. One of the best who moves on, but not before a few un-retirements...
  12. First reaction to trailer is - no - didn't intrigue me, felt forced, did not feel like a hit...
  13. This chest cover looks awesome for a couple reasons: a. Mars Base symbol breaks up stark white area b. Corners / edges are heavily rounded which match the chest curve and give a nice organic feel - so sharp edges should be avoided. The primary concern should be the soldier mode, and however it looks as a gap filler in bomber mode is how it is. No design compromises should be made to the chest piece for its dual roll. As a marketing guy, a 'Beta /Tread Upgrade Pack' might get even more buyers. For example the missing top missile pods Toynami also neglected to put in. I added them here in photoshop. You do the chest covers and top pods, and offer painting services, you might get 15 customers wanting 1, 2 or 3 sets... PS - I think for my idea and marketing direction alone I deserve a free finished set! Remember me kindly you 3D part maker guys when you make it big... : )
  14. Somebody go for broke and get this! http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-158086396
  15. It does have several 'cannons', missiles, an anti-aircraft gun, a grenade launcher and a flame thrower, not exactly all hand-to-hand...
  16. By the looks of your customer list for the VF-1 side covers and saddlebags, picking up a cheap Beta shouldn't be hard for a high roller like you! "Somebody get this man a Beta please..."
  17. Can we change the title of this thread to just Upgrade Parts for Mospeada and talk about Tread chest covers? If the cover can look something like this but ALSO DOUBLE AS a space filler behind the cockpit in bomber mode. I hate that the cockpit will bend down at the slightest bump, and that empty space there looks terrible anyway. If peeps can chime in their interest maybe some super talented guy like EXO will give it a go...
  18. I've always wanted to know who has that original painting and if I could ever get my hands on it. It better be framed and well lit in a primo place on some collector's wall somewhere...
  19. Agree on the 'no-stickers-over-the-weathering' thing. Here they without. Wish Yamato had done a few more tampo print areas on the shoulders and crotch before applying the effects...
  20. That last pic you posted did not show up for me...
  21. The scene where they wake him and he immediately whacks them all seemed very odd to me. Even though most of the movie seems odd and disjointed. No grunts groans - or 'who are you where are my crew mates' in his native tongue?
  22. Looking forward to this!
  23. Oh no - say it ain't so! Maybe if we all start chanting Cap will do one last kit as his swan song. While mMy wallet is somewhat relieved by this news, but the rest of me is quite saddened . . .
  24. You sir - are in luck. There is still one for sale right here: http://www.rinkya.co...tion-f112955072 PM me if you have never used the RinkYa service before, I can guide you through it...
