  1. Looking forward to this.
  2. I really hope Bandai give us a Hi Metal R of Fatty Ground Type. That is one of my favorie enemy mechs from Votoms.
  3. It will be the second release in the line.
  4. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  5. Lots more images of the AFC-01X Δ on the official page: https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/tsparkofficial/toyrise/legioss/ (make sure to click on the AFC-01X Δ tab). Plus some info on the mecha: AFC-01X Δ Regios Delta The head, equipped with enhanced sensors based on operational data from the Omega, is synchronized with the radome, providing high search and analysis capabilities. The aircraft features forward-swept wings and canards, improving aerodynamic maneuverability. The Impact Lance is a close-combat weapon with high armor-penetrating power that uses high-frequency vibrations to concentrate energy at a single point, resulting in a highly maneuverable aircraft with a wide variety of weapons, from search and attack. The armament includes an Impact Lance , 11-barreled micromissiles, a twin-barreled laser cannon, and an anti-inbit pulse radar.
  6. Don't get me wrong, I love my Sentinel Legioss, but transforming it always kinda scares me, given that I actually managed to break the diecast hip joint on a green Sentinel legioss a few yers ago. So, I'm always super nervous when transforming them.
  7. I'm actually super excited about the upcoming TakaraTomy Toyrise Mospeada toys. I think they are actually my most anticipated toys of 2026 so far. And I'm glad they are making new variations of the Legioss design, not just the same TV versions that every company releases. And they may even release the TV versions later, I don't mind the Toyrise Legioss are a bit smaller and more toylike than other company's Legioss toys. Hopefully, the Toyrise will be fun to handle and play with and easy to transform. For those wanting more detailed, larger and complicated versions of the Legioss we have the Sentinel versions as well as the upcoming Pose+ toy. The only thing that bugs me a bit about the Toyrise Legioss is the Crossbone Vanguard style Shot Lance weapon on the green Legioss. Given that it appears to be an Early Warning/AWACS radar type mecha, that should be operating in a support role and avoiding direct combat, I'm not sure why they have given it what appears to be a short range/melee weapon.
  8. My name is my real name. And my avatar is from the Yoshiyuki Takani box art from the Wave 1:72 scale VF-17S/D vinyl battroid mode garage kit. I chose this image as the VF-17D/S is one of my all time favorite VFs and Yoshiuki Takani is one of my favorite Macross box art artists.
  9. I really want this: 3) ATM-09-ST Turbo Custom from the Berkoff Squad with accessories as an ad on pack! I'd also really love Banadai to make an HMR of the Burglary Dog.
  10. Just got my HMR Fatty last night. Will take it out of the box tomorrow, no time yet. Which reminds me, I still haven't unboxed my HMR Blood Sucker yet. 😅
  11. Just saw the Hasegawa Milia Q-Rau in a hobby shop near my work. Damn, the box is huge.
  12. It's a great toy. I personally feel it really captures the look of the Fire Valk.
  13. Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider, definitely gets my vote for best anime series of 2025, Super funny, even if you are not into Kamen Rider . I've never actually watched an episode of any Kamen Rider series, but I'm loving this anime.😅 To be honest I'm kinda burned out on all the Isekai anime, there's just too much of it.
  14. Me too.
  15. That looks awesome. The DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger is probably my favorite Zentradi mecha design. I don't normally buy and build model kits these days, but in lieu of any Nousjadeul-Ger toy, I'm definitely gonna get this kit.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    What worries me is that this is a further sign that moving forward, Bandai's DX design team is just going to half-ass things more and more with the DX line. We already saw this to a certain extent with some of the design choices on the YF-21 and with the VF-17S, they have gone into full on lazy and cost saving mode.
  17. Awesome. That is a must have book.
  18. It always annoys me that we have never had (as far as I know) a detailed, mass produced Gunstar collectable toy.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    The Arcadia VF-1 and SDF-1 toys are most likely made using the old tooling from Yamato days. So basically, Arcadia just needs to get enough money from pre-orders to pay whatever factory they are using in China for the material and labor to make the toys and then get them shipped from the factory. Whereas the VF-5000G is an all new design and requires new tooling which is a major manufacturing expense. If as I expect, Arcadia is stuggling financially, it take them a long time to save enough funds to get the tooling for the VF-5000G made.
  20. Ordered 1.
  21. Just received mine, but no time to open it and also no space to display it at the moment. 😅

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    It's not just the gunpod stowage that is so very, very wrong. The shape and panel lines/detailing of the legs and backplate are totally, completely wrong according to the VF-17 full detail lineart. The head cowl an is also incorrect as are shoulders with their lack of twin Micro-missile launchers. Being a huge Macross 7 fan since 1994 and given that the VF-17D/S is one of my all-time favorite VFs, it really annoys me that Bandai has cheaped out so much on the DX VF-17S. Frankly, it also sets a bad precedent for future DX releases.
  23. Never been a fan of the Brutishdog, as I've always felt that that it was pretty silly having that heavy Gatling gun on the arm being fed from that tiny little stick magazine. Yeah, I know it carries spare mags dispensed from the backpack, but given the large calibre of the gun and the small size of the mags, the mag capacity has gotta be miniscule. The Brutishdog is usually the one Scopedog toy or model that I never buy. 😅
