    there is a downsize mp-01....its about 8.5" or so maybe? it was called pp-01 from igear. its not a straight downsizing as that would haven't been a great idea. much of it is re-engineered and its not a bad toy but it gets looser over time and use. also...its very light. they were my classics/3p prime and magnus for a while. for 6"...i think the best g1 "style" prime is classics prime (or henkei) or its many ko versions. be aware these "chug" molds have huge arm kibble and and totally non g1 like transformation. for something even less G1....yes first edition tf prime optimus prime might be the best voyager optimus toy ever....evasion prime ain't bad...its got a g1 alt mode....but its movie aesthetics in bot omde turn me off. its a great toy though. oh and of course mp-10 is the best prime toy ever....its about 9.5" tall though.

    i kinda hate them....they twist at the joint and can send a fastpacked valk tumbling....i had to glue the twist joint so it wouldn't do that. i'd rathar use a bandai stand with an EXO adaptor in that size. the new large arcadia stands are sturdy as hell....but look awkward on a small vf-1 but seem ok for the vf-0d i'm using it for.

    somehow missed it. so i guess its happening to everyone..

    so i preorder the shf x chogokin hulkbuser on NY forever ago.....now they are saying that i need to pay for it now because bandai has changed a policy? its not coming out for another few months. isn't this kinda...horseshit? lol. they took preorders saying no need to pay until it comes out, now....they are asking for payment because "bandai changed its policy". its not like they won't be able to sell them....did NY do this to everybody? if i had another source for them that wasn't outrageous i'd let the order get cancelled.

    man love those opening episodes. teh vf-1d is probably still oen of my top 3 favorite valks. the freefall saving minmay scene is iconic and referenced in frontier as well. i believe i've seen similar scenes in non macross anime/movies as well.

    i got it yesterady...spent about 15 minutes with it so far. seems fun. g1 designs in cell shaded 3d rock
  8. Mechapilot77
    i'm bitter there are no subs....again. when will i get to own a decent copy of this with subs....i mean they subbed the frontier movies...why not this?

    does the turtles being shown first at NYCC mean bluefin will get to dsitribute them here in america or are we bandai preordering a 3AM like with star wars and marvel? i am hoping the former obviously....

    yeah his feet are too narrow compared with his lower leg. they should be almost the same width (both in toon and toy). its being overlooked because shockwave and he at least retained his side profiel swoopiness in his lower legs which 3P failed at (even the new cloudblast fails there...looking angular rathar than swoopy). hot rod looks kinda body builder ish...who skipped leg day. i think they were trying to give him a more athletic looking silhouette..sort of like how they looked a little bit to "the tick" when they did mp-10....they went a bit too far IMO but it doesn't look bad. i guess if i were a hot rodimus fan i'd be more picky.
  11. Mechapilot77
    dang they were $20ish on hlj when they were released...i knew i should have bought more than one...like 10 or something haha. i just can't afford that many yeti stands as cool as they are. i think they will reissue the stand at some point...no license is required and demand i apparently there if they are selling for that much. stands and fast packs....always stock up when possible apparently.
  12. Mechapilot77
    oooh...red stripes on antennae are back.. woot!
  13. Mechapilot77
    can't say i ever liked hot rod's car mode? i thought it looked dumb when i was a kid and still do. the mp-09 and mp-29...both look "ok" to me since i think it looks dumb anyway. man i've a lot of pent up hate for that character. lol. i am definitly buying one so i can have both autobots and decepticons torture him. lol. man...should i get 2 shockwaves? i'm hesitating because what if they release a toy deco (maybe via hasbro?) later? hmmm.... also anyone see the new diabattles color? the bright one looks dorky and i never had it as a kid so easy to pass up...this one...loooks cool https://d2xngy2dw7hums.cloudfront.net/media/photos/products/2015/10/07/211859_30781474_thumbnail.jpg i also hope they will do a V2 of this guy

    hmmm..the stand backpack is a little too big but shocky is supposed to have a big packpack anyway so its not a stretch ...at least not a big one. the muzzle as backpack doesn't look right to me...for one...the color...secondly the shape. i thought QW's solution was fairly good tohugh it is partsforming unlike this apparently. still...purple partsformed backpack vs. grey perfect transformation....i thin kpurple wins for me. oh well. still love the mp line but not a fan of the current direction of the design aesthetics since magnus.
  15. Mechapilot77
    so i'll probably get one of these if the price isn't too outrageous. dollar to yen remains strong so perhaps it will work out for me. if not...not biggie....there is no nostalgic connection for me and this design. its just a cool fighter. not even sure i'd transform it ever if i got it. the battroid isn't too much of a reward. haha
  16. Mechapilot77
    as happy as i am about the vf-4 being reissued, i'm wondering if the fb2012 colors will be done and.....more importantly for me.... when are they going to reissue super and strike parts for the VF-1!?!
  17. Mechapilot77
    on masterpiece shockwave....no one is going to comment on the backpack that has to parts form from that stand? yes the grey baackpack probably doesn't partsform (or it may?) but i don't have a problem with that. the bad part is the non integral stand (at least i hope the stand isn't integrated with the gun mode!!) is a slip on cover over the real backpack...because the rael backpack is the muzzle (which is too long). also the panels on the outer lower legs...dull grey plastic? cmon, that was solid metal on teh G1 toy and also on...quakewave. they could at least give us a nice brushed silver paint look (or shinier preferably). Those are my complaints so far. otherwise it looks good. they got the torso more right than FT (legs of course are more accurate but somehow...look off too in some ways?) but ist still too small compared ot animation model or G1 toy. anyway it'll be preorderd when it shows up on hlj or similar. wonder if a toy deco will come out eventually. i hda the g1 toy so that was my main reference...i always thought of the cartoon using the lighter colors so that it could be seen easier and no other reason. EDIT_...the g1 toy did not have metal panels where i mentioned..but metal thighs and toes...still....i wish for that feature. glossy grey or silver paint will do though!

    yeah phasma sold out quick. i was cart jacked at hobby search i think it was on her but got her on CDJ. FWIW this regult was not that hard to get if you were up for it....i literally could have ordered from all of the following: amiami (i bought 3 from here), hobby search (was available when checked, even added to cart to test but then removed), plus CDJapan. i literally could have had 9. anyway, had i not stopped after 3 to get phasma i'm sure would have had time to check at NY and others too. anyway, fear not those that missed it....the armored 1J which is way more popular and it popped up at release...also HLJ hasn't even put up their preorder allotment yet and they get more at release as well. check NY, and hlj around release time....thats how i got my armored 1j.

    Although i did preorder the strike vf-1s hikaru....i am hoping this will be a more SDFM line vs. only DYRL. the regult being the TV SDFM regult is a god sign. so is the glaug (though the glaug appeared i nboth). i've got no problem wiht the armored 1j having dyrl leaning tendencies even though i still think of it as the SDFM version. i really hope we get TV style Q-rau's too. can't wai tfor that glaug and some more valks and destroids...this line has so much potential. i'd never ditch my 1/60s but this is a nice little diversion.

    amiami site hangning up on me....load dmmit!!! went thru!!! booyah!!

    yeah to be fair takara's is not as swoopy as the g1 toy nor anime either. quakewave was trying to avoid the G1 toy skinny leg day missed syndrome but over compensated and also dropped some of the swoopyniess. a bigger problem for me was the torso was too narrow and not deep enough. still, on its own....pick up a quakewave and you can't tell me its not a great toy. from certain angles it still looks awesome....straight on in a static pose was never its strength.

    i think i could get down with 3 regults at that price maybe...but if they announce varaints i'll probablayu just get 1 or 2....
  23. Mechapilot77
    lets hope they dont make a crappy V1 from teh delta's hero valk and then follow up ith a decent v2 less than 2 years later. get it right from the start bandai!!
  24. Mechapilot77
    wait....whats the difference with teh one they released earlier this year? i'm not orguss expert (never seen the anime)...the one they released earlier thi syear was beautiful but i coudln't justify the price.
  25. Mechapilot77
    i think i will buy hot rod just to have other transformers posed torturing or killing him for his idiocy and future emoness as rodiumus. lol
