Near as I can tell the Bandai 19 has a hole similar to what Arcadia’s has. Based on the promo shots available anyway.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I had to be clever with the angle. From the side he's standing too tall and awkward. And I had to place the hand over his shin/ankle to hide the fact I had to rotate the split at the shin to get him to lunge that far forward. But it looks effing awkward from any other angle, he just can't get as deep of a front stance as I'd like. -
Of all the damn Disney Afternoon cartoons that shoulr have got movies Darkwing was the most deserving and got no effing love even as a television series. I am tempted. I used to watch this with my Mom when I was a kid. It was her favorite show next to Seinfeld.

Best forward stance I can pull off but that back leg is pretty awkward looking.
-
Xigfrid, whadda ya think? Could be scaled for 1/100, plugs for both Arcadia and Bandai 19’s, slots for the VF-1 super part attachments.

Unfortunately his ankle doesn’t rock forward enough to get a really agressive forward stance. Also the peg being so far back means no hang ten style poses either.

Like everything else in JJ-Trek has some sort of parity?
-
Isn't The Vengeance pretty much the JJ version of the Excelsior though?

Just redirect to a nearby UPS store. They don’t charge for that. NM, I read UPS. USPS... you could tell them to hold it at the local distribution center. You’d have to go physically pick it up then. No idea what kind of drive that would be for you though.

NY sent me tracking info and then didn’t ship mine either.

I kind of feel like the 202 would look best with a Hikaru VF-1J repainted with Blue stripes instead of Red. It would look like the armor from the Master File Space Wing book.

Okay... the first movie sucks, the second movie involves Khan and sucks, the third movie the Enterprise gets destroyed and almost sucks, the fourth is supposed to involve time travel. They really are going to ape every single beat from the original films aren't they? I guess the fifth one will be low budget and stupid and the sixth one they'll blow up Praxis and fight a cloaked ship!

I'm mostly just trying to be honest. It's better than JJ's first two, but not that good. I would consider everything I say more of a fair warning. Other people here have said it's great. It's not. I'm giving it credit if only because Justin Lin and Simon Pegg clearly are fans who tried. There's still a lot of the same problems, non-Star Trek things included. But there's more Star Trek here than before. You will hate how they get the Franklin airborne. I've seen those production sketches. I should have been more clear. It's the first time seen set to film. The special effects are the only praise I could give the first two JJ films. However, every shot of the Enterprise is too close. The only time you ever saw the full body of the ship in all of the first two movies is when the hull is being constructed on Earth. Justin Lin understands the glamour shots from the original films. You get a lot of full body shots, and fly-by's and stuff akin to something you would see in Star Trek II or Star Trek III. Mind the idiotic, non-Star Trek, space station. It is a very Star Trek-esque sequence though. I'll also give Justin Lin kudos for attempting to show how warp actually functions. It's not just a hyperspace tunnel like very other depiction. He actually understood there's a bubble generated around the ship and tried to visualize that. It's still not terribly accurate but it's another first and at least a little interesting even if it is just an FX shot.

Not true, Beyond improved many things from the first two films. That improvement only puts the quality ofnthe fulm around Nemesis levels but it was improved, given the situation they were left with. The movie, while flawed, was clearly made by people who at least liked the Trek franchis. You csn look at it and admit there wad a good idea here even if it wasn’t executed well. At the very least it’s the very first time we ever saw a Connie pull off a Saucer separation.

Oh, so everybody is going to have to put up with my crap pictures of 202 then. lol
-
I need to swap the armor onto the Hi-Metal R Max just to compare and contrast the look with the original Hi-Metal release for everyone.
-
How many did they send you Saburo?
-
I really need to get a Brownie VF-1A to go with this other pair of armor. Probably a second to slap on those booster parts.
-
Love that Gerwalk. All of my Radome Valks go in Gerwalk.
-
I guess I’m the first to get a 202? Put it on my original Max Hi-Metal because the blues are a closer hue to each other.
-
To be fair they really don’t make it clear what comes with what set. You have to flip through all the images to figure it out. I was confused too.
-
I wish I saw this yesterday.
-
USPS dropped off my armors. I just have to wait another eight hours to get home.

No, that was an entire other set. And the diorama is a while plastic playset, not just packaging that transforms. The packaging is an oversized verion of the VHS box the original movie came in. Didn't notice you mentioned Silver Surfer, thanks for the heads up. Now it's time for The Thing.
