    Revo Wonder Woman.

    Review of the Xl D'Derdex.
  3. Mommar
    That will definitely be interesting.

    The whole point was that Palpatine was clever/powerful. Not that Yoda was incompetent.

    I suppose it isn't surprising, the Ride Armors came with stands too.

    The Adult Lego thing is applicable because the law is ludicrously broad. The interview with the head of the FTC on C-Span was interesting. He said anything that is deemed as of an interest for kids means they will assume kids are watching and therefore you can be fined. That's damn near everything really. No toys, most movies, cars, video games, comic books. It's so broad that you could shut down almost anything. Talking about Star Wars, like on Doomcocks channel, could be considered of enough interest to a kid to justify a fine. From the my understood perspective a channel like Trekyards would have to be considered for Kids. I'd have watched the hell out of stuff like that if Youtube were around when I was six or seven. The second half, the bit about Youtube having the right to delete your channel if it isn't profitable, is tinfoil nonsense. They've always had that right, nobody was paying attention until they realized they really might be 100% demonitized because of the FTC ruling and that could give legitimate reason for Youtube to pull the plug on them. But it's always been there. Anthony from AnthonysCustoms has two fairly well thought out explanations on what the law is and what it does without going overboard or panicking. For a guy who isn't a lawyer, anyway. But potential $42,000 per infraction is pretty incredible, enough to make anybody sit back and wonder if they really want to risk it on something that seems so nebulous.

    That blog has useful bits. It also comes with a stand. Looks like the same one the prototype above is posed on.

    To be accurate this isn't based of of the Anime designs. Some of the changes are what are affecting the look for both the feet being tucked in and the nose cone being hidden. If you look at the original design the root of the legs is tucked way up near the chest intakes. On this redesign the torso is longer and the legs/hips are too. That means the legs are shorter and so the feet will tuck in further in Fighter mode. The elongated torso also means it will better hide the nose cone when in Soldier Mode.

    Oh s.h.i.t a Mafex Carnage!?! SOLD. They've made my absolute favorite Spider-Man and Venom figures so far. What other accessories does he come with? That looks like a fully sculpted arm. That Supes looks damn good too. Mafex and Mezco are convincing me to buy DC stuff. Damn, Mafex just GETS comic-book proportions.

    A knee or shin rotation does tend to help with posing options but the obvious hip articulation just from the transformation and the apparent ankle rocker based on the photos it should be able to pose pretty well.

    This is not true, it is larger than an HMR VF-1. It's roughly the height of the previous ride armor if you measured to the top of the wheels on the backpack. Looking at the size of the Tread and converting to 1/48 scale. The Treads fighter mode would be fifteen inches wide at this scale. You really want that to be LARGER? Look at the wing span for the SV-51 before answering that. With a fully connected Legioss/Tread combo you'd have a fighter mode that is 15 1/2 inches long with a wing span of fifteen inches. You're looking at the length of the 1/3000 SDF-1 with the wing span over the 1/60 SV-51. I don't want these toys to be any larger than they are now.
  12. Mommar
    Why wouldn't it be? The VF-1 is MASSIVE compared to the Legioss. There's an awful lot of strange bitching about height going on here.
  13. Mommar
    Wow, original release Brood and Mojo in package.
  14. Mommar
    Depends where you order from. Amazon does a straight conversion. You won't get away with anything being smaller. Nippon-Yasan will WAY overcharge you if you pay in Dollars versus yen and I'll always pay in yen there.
  15. Mommar
    Fixed that for you.
  16. Mommar
    The engineering/cost ratio makes more sense.
  17. Mommar
    Man, I hope this is a solid release. Very few things really get me excited but that Soldier mode really gets me going. Especially the tiny articulated pilot emerging.
  18. Mommar
    I like your thinking. If I had the shopping talent I'd replace the head with the Drone version and the Synchro Cannon.

    Hi-Metal R

    Mommar replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    We only know they showed it off. But they also showed off the Skull Squadron colored VF-4 and that was eventually solicited so I think people are hopeful.
  20. Mommar
    Even in Robotech the Alpha was significantly smaller than the VF-1. Tread. $325 I'll assume.
  21. Mommar
    I went with two from Amazon. Can't beat that cheap DHL.

    So you don't care for color/look of the other fighters so you're just going with blue for all three modes?
  24. Mommar
    Wow, three?
  25. Mommar
    The Legios has always had downward sloped wings.
