  1. RIP Carl. Really bummed to hear of his passing. His career in acting was great from start to finish.

    1/55's revisited

    Ah yes, the Fourgroid.

    1/55's revisited

    Glad to see you're still around @kanata67. Do you still have my old 1/100 "funky gun" VF-1 bootleg?
  4. You're hired. Have the draft ready by next Tuesday.
  5. That would actually be a cool storyline to explore: In the far future, a newly spacefaring PC-descended species discovers a long-derelict Factory Satellite rigged for variable fighter production. Giant WTF moment occurs.
  6. Those kits look great, 505th. Would have loved to see a little 25mm Gunbuster to go with the Exelion!
  7. I cannot read Kanji, but the Bandai/Victor copyright notice at the bottom suggests that it may have been from a soundtrack album release.
  8. That's interesting, had not heard of that explanation before, but it's a good one.
  9. Pretty clever! Sounds like you've basically abstracted the HUD control to a driver, so that if/when a game is changed or updated you simply update the 'driver' and everything else still works as it had?
  10. Those fixed-mode kits are looking really close to the old ARII 1/100s.
  11. According to the product page, the Eltreum model is nearly 14" long! Will definitely be thinking about committing to them, and agreed, they do look cool. I had the GX-34 and it was pretty phenomenal. I hope you do get your wish of a rerelease.
  12. You assume that they come with instructions. They do not
  13. I've seen them at Ebay and AliExpress. I'm sure there are others. I don't know that it's kosher to post a link, but can in pm. Still a bit more spendy than what I'd be prepared to pay for a KO. I have the KO Hikaru 1S with strike parts but paid a good bit less than what they're asking for the 1Js
  14. They actually did put out the M&Ms. Expensive though at $200+ each. You can find them at the usual action sites.
  15. Tangentially, I think this is really one of the key elements about Macross that had enthralled me as a kid and has kept my interest and appreciation for it for decades. The design staff leans so far into real world industrial design and engineering practice that, regardless of the validity of the subject matter it remains compelling and mostly self-consistent. It's just good scifi, however farfetched. To top it off the mechanical and graphic design is just gorgeous, and the depth of the world-building in terms of art assets is mind-blowing.
  16. Also in Goodbye Girl is Yot-Chan playing the Cliffhanger laser disc arcade game based on Lupin III.
  17. A YF-19 Gerwalk-based interpretive dance from the TV series "Ryosangata Riko" https://twitter.com/i/status/1676984096965251072
  18. Very odd that HG should license yet another 1/72 transformable VF-1 when the KCs are already on the market. From what I've seen of it, I think I do prefer the general proportions of the Three Zero better though.
