  1. Past hour
  2. @pengbuzz Thanks for the head's up Pengbuzz! Oh no! We finally "get back" a good stock of classic anime models and their company is not looking good. I've bought from them about three times now and no problem. I hope they're not folding 😕 @SteveTheFish Nice and clean paint! She looks good, especially with the patches as Chas said. - MT
  3. Hey, you're right! I overlooked that detail. Thanks!
  4. I'm cool with a Miami Vice reboot but a series would be more ideal than a movie. They should also cast Dakota Johnson as Sunny Crockett. Yes, I'm serious.
  5. Heir to the Empire anime adaptation is a heckuva concept. If Disney has any brains left they should use this idea to adapt these books and others in high quality animated form to add content to their weak af library. They can call it STAR WARS: Adapt or non-canon or something along those lines. On that note its pretty sad the fans are creating more Star Wars content than Disney is, lol.
  6. Today

  8. Nice job Greg! One thing though, it doesn't look like there's any colour on her mouth which makes it kinda disappear. Really great job on the details of her coveralls. The zippers and badges in particular.
  9. You may be in luck then, as it's no longer available at that price. EDIT: Actually, $220.83 now. Let's see where that goes.
  10. My most recently completed build, Claire Frost from Hasegawa's Eggplane Girls series of 1:12 scale resin figure kits.
  11. I don’t want it but I may just get it at that price
  12. Oh yes, the imagineers at Disneyland could repurpose one of the more pallid animatronic waifs from Pirates of the Caribbean, hang her prostrate in front of the guests, have her moan "Kill me!" as a chestburster violently thrusts out of her bosom, and all the little kids get sprayed with her blood. Great fun for the whole family! 😄
  13. Too late. Amazon has it for $325.58 now. Galactic Toys on there has it for $254, but I think they always do.
  14. I don’t really think so. Everyone there got kinda dragged into it, she pretty much got pushed into it by her friend in a way her pillpopping party antics seem common to those that know her.
  15. Iron Man Mark III (Battle Damaged).
  16. Received my 2 Mikimoto books. Beautiful.
  17. Decided to finally have my First Press Limited Edition shipped out. Received today.
  18. I'm almost tempted to pick up a third, that's about $15 lower now than I paid for my copy from HLJ at release.
  19. I just came across this listing on eBay? Not mine, but interesting enough. Who is John Gaydos!
  20. The thrusters aren't the problem, the backpack flap hinge is just mis-molded to the point that it doesn't even touch them. The hinge just doesn't rotate far enough to give the arms clearance. Only real way to fix it would be to modify that flap by sanding away the edge so it rotates further. If you raise the backpack, the arms can sit higher on the pegs.. but they don't stay there. They just squeeze off of them, due to the conflicting materials. The plastic just has no friction against the polished metal. If the backpack flap wasn't a problem, it might be worth roughing up those tabs with a file to see if you could get them to stick a little better. I really wish the arms didn't bother me as much as they do, but the worst part is always trying to mount the gunpod. The arms themselves I can overlook from some angles, but as soon as you add the gunpod it's like a giant neon sign pointing out exactly how badly out of alignment they are for fighter mode. The full length of the gunpod is planted firmly on the ground, front and back, when you set it on the gear, and that's frankly the only way to even get the arms to stay up in the first place. Otherwise they just dangle. Bonus points for making the gunpod look like it's going to blow out the underside of the nosecone, because it constantly tilts from the droopy arms. It just drives me absolutely bats that people can design these sorts of things, and just completely miss such obvious issues. Like, these problems were visible from the earliest promotional test shots. Why did no one do something about it? Edit: To make the problem very clear.. this isn't the arms drooping from gravity. They are being pushed downward, and standing the thing upright on its feet doesn't make any difference. This is just where the arms sit. If it wasn't for the ground pushing the gunpod up when you set it on the landing gear, the wheels wouldn't reach the ground. If I actually press the arms up, yeah, the gunpod actually looks like it's almost firing forward, but it won't stay that way without constant pressure. Bottom line.. yeah, I really want to like this figure more than I do. Would be great if we could get this paintjob and posability on a Yamato or Bandai.. but at the same time, for as easily as all of this panel lining rubs off, I'm glad neither Yamato nor Bandai decided to go that route. As it is.. just treat it as a battroid figure, and you're probably fine, so long as you don't handle it too much (and don't look at the elbows).
