wow me too
-
at 1/60 scale they need to up their game and make it look more accurate to that custom or something to differentiate it. for the moment seems its a simple upscale? at 1/100 scale they were/are just the about right
-
ok i gotta add those packs now! looking nice if a little too blue
-
this set really does look great, just a bunch of money for it though most would rather spend on figures rather than backdrops....though these are really nice.
-
so is nippon yasan ever getting these in and shipping them out? they've had my money for a long ass time now.
-
FWIW there will be a fast pack set. For those that already perordered the 1/72 VF-1 it'll be an additional ~$50 (total of ~$140 including shipping vs. projected MSRP or ~$170) It will have the UN Spacy kite logo (this is robotech not dyrl). they have not decided whether those that order both will get it "all in on box" gift set style or just packed in as another box in the shipment). oh the fast packs will have LED lights as per so far the one photo on their main website.

i got to say i'm loving this line still. HMR super ostrich? awesome....will be ordering at least 1 probably, 2. i never got around to getting the yamato...if arcadia ever does a reissue i'm gonna be on top of that too. and yes Nousjadeul-Gers would be friggen awesome (because i can't imagine arcadia making them in 1/60 after the lackluster sales of the yamato Q-Raus) don't think they've even been teased at this point IIRC....also robot spirits did do a Q rare but those sold poorly (and are too small to be 1/100)...hopefully that dosen't put bandai off from doing an Nousjadeul Gers. wait...key info...when is the super O going up for preorder?

its tiny though as all teh studio series are. think that starscream but like the size of a larger deluxe or smaller voyager. downscaled if you will -
Toynami's look way way off except Roy and Millia just a touch off, rest are WTF. Kitz concept Minmay looks pretty good but why that outfit instead of a more iconic one? Minfactory 1/20 look good, a little "updated" artwise but gets the Feel of the original art pretty much there

Mp-10 does a lot if things right, still my favorite transformers toy overall. That being said, it's way possible to improve on him. Like others have said double jointed elbows, more range of motion in knees joints, a better leg/alt mode look and maybe slightly altered proportions. Anime accurate simplicity isn't on my list, nor is hyper detail that is made up and changes the overall design aesthetic (looking at those imaginariun statues names me sick). Mp-36 while went slavish to toon in proportions (well if you're looking up at him like the animation guide which the designers failed to take into account),does actually have more detail to him then say inferno (which could have been brilliant, but ends up looking decidedly unpremium),and sunstreaker does lack kn added you detail he actually has more real world mechanical toy hinges and panels so again looks world's better than detail deleted inferno.... Maybe the line will wake up learn how to combine toonishness without defaulting to detailess panels and surfaces like ironhide and inferno. im hopeful but afraid they will pull an MP inferno move for the next prime. -

mp 17+ cartoonifying prowl. meh. i mean if you are gonna continue to cartoonify things, you should start making an mp-10+....not that i'd want that (although i'd get it because optimus and mp-10 is great mold). the bright blue headlights and windows look horrid in the pictures. at least mp 14+ fixed the thigh coloration thing (while making the rest worse)...prowl was nigh on perfect IMO. i mean we all understood the blue in teh cartoons was in substitute of being able to draw clear glass with reflectinos right? also the last "+" was mp-12+...they tinted the windows blue...not made them almost super opaque bright blue like this. this is either a bad design choice or a bad photoshop in the official image.- 16946 replies

as glad as i am that bayverse gave a boost ot the TF brand 10+ years ago making many things possible....i'm REALLY REALLY happy they are rebooting. hopefully we get better designs and better stories...one thing...they better still retain peter cullen for optimus though
-
anyone actually get that minmei speaker?
-
seems my childhood TRU made the cut and isn't on the list. memories man...i love toy aisles back then and i'm sad for those losing their childhood TRU's.
-
i SOOOO should have bought an extra set or two...displayed with the lions like that is so nice!!! i'm grateful i was able to get one at least though.
-
wow they've gone downhill since the king of beasts version ... that thing was rock solid. thoes breakages look VERY identical btw.
-
mine is also in that status since then
-
THANKS!
-
hmm, not my favorite option (because i'd probalby have to paint them) but if that is best available...you have a link?
-
honestly i hope bandai somehow gets the license and does them in dx chogokin treatment. i'd prefer arcadia's treatment but then they'd cost as much or more as the EVO toys ones and would slow down their macross releases. An HMR sized toy would be too close in size to the toynami and cm ones i own. i haven't picked up the toynamis in years but i wish someone would make or sell hand replacements so that i could handle them again (too scared otherwise) and pretend like they're good enough (the betas/tlead are good enough for me btw)...i didn't feel like the rest of the toys would fall apart (at least on my copies) otherwise until i read about yours recently. I'm sure Sentinel is capable too but their pricing is on the higher side as well.
-
It's looks good and I like lights but it really does look like they ripped off the yamarcadia, added more label lines, a wash , and removed an ankle extension/joint. Okie it's really 95 percent an Arcadia copy in my estimation....hopefully they will prove me wrong... And It's a little small for my liking but I may bite if it's decent
-
based on the 19 next to it...this is at least 1/48 as the 19 is a bigger valk...by far. so this wont replace my 1/60 collection but damn it'd be nice if this were some premium (better than DX and better than current arcadia) offering....sort of like a one off (but we know that won't happen...too easy to retool). i'd be happy with just this 1J and a 1S or too. (heck i still have a couple yammy 1/48 because i like the presence and this one has it too). i do wish we'd get that super big 1/35 with tons of extra detail vs. this new teaser. i guess we will see if either will come or just more vaporware. if i had ot pick i'd pick the bigger 1/35ish vs. this new 1/48ish. proportions seem better in battroid (and as i said before more detail).

Man that is sweet ! I love the art style on those old 80s kits
-
always wanted one of those, and a modern sparta but not sure how much coin i'd drop for one.

wait i thought preorders from PF millia came and went? or did i imagine that. i ordered a regular one fo rmillia...haven't seen a max preorder yet. as for bandai 1/35...what does that have to do with it? different scales...i would think different licenses, no? i mean HMR overlaps both SDFM and DYRL stuff and is released in same calendar years as arcadia stuff, no? i don't htink i coudl afford to collect bandai 1/35 anyway, can't imagine what they would cost. i'd get myabe 1 or 2 at most, and it'd be the sdfm 1j hiarku and the 1s roy and of course FAST packs for roy's even though it was hikaru that used them.
