    Thanks, acknowledgements like that provide motivation when the task turns out to be so much more work than anticipated... Since the individual segments didn't scale consistently, I've had to assemble the model virtually and adjust the relative size and proportion of each part to confirm the proper shapes and sizes: I've also taken the opportunity to further refine the model, adding upgrades like the new control panel and handlebar grips (as well as the aforementioned fuel cap). The next prototype will be a major improvement.

    It's not. That artwork greatly exaggerates the angle of the seat. These orthographic views are a lot more consistent: It has become clear to me that the engine pods are all oversized on Jose's model, and the front fairing along with them. I'll make substantial adjustments to scale and proportions for the next prototype. Those Navy Division (NA.D.) outfits never even appeared in the anime, yet they got model kits instead of the Spartas Hovertanks...? 🤨 Southern Cross merchandise was a joke, all right. 🙄 Seriously, though... "Seats up to 3 fashion dolls." 🤨 Those Matchbox packaging designers must've been on crack back in the '80s. 🤪

    Seats up to 3? 😲 Maybe it's not too big after all... 😉

    Oh dear, it looks like I overshot the mark... It's definitely too big for the figure. 😐 At least, the front part is too big... 🤨 I'm not sure how consistently scaled all the various segments are, to be honest. I'll have to do a little experimenting, and see what proportions best suit the Dana figure. In the meantime, constructive criticism is encouraged. Tell me where you think needs fixing. 😇

    So, Hasegawa's N-Ger came in a box identical in size to their movie Q-Rau... ...not nearly as wasteful as the oversized packaging for their TV Q-Rau. Only 30% of the N-Ger's box is empty space. 😝

    Given the total lack of online discourse, you may be the only one that watched Wonder Man, lol.

    I've always dreamed of having an electric motorcycle that looks exactly like that model... except with the mini-missile launchers on the front, of course. 😉

    Actually, it's "Kieth," not "Keith." He was one of those rare comic book writers who could also draw incredibly well.

    That's supposed to look like this, isn't it? I mean, I can see some similar design cues, but... it's not nearly as good as their Logan, even. 🤨

    Good news, gentlemen. I've been in contact with Jose in Argentina, and he's agreed to make some upgrades and corrections for this release. There was a missing shock absorber that's now been added, and the seat back is now properly curved. I'll also be adding a fuel cap. 😇

    X-Transbots' Monolith ("youth" version). I've had him for ages, just never got around to photographing him.

    You're a prince among men, Mike. I've retroactively decided to buy both Legacy Animated Optimus (through eBay, since it would cost me nearly twice as much to buy one in Japan) and the original DK-54 (through Ali Express, since it would cost me nearly twice as much to buy one in Japan). I don't know why I'm so tempted now, since I had no interest in either two years ago... 🤔

    Thanks, guys. Whatever Hasbro called it, it seems TakaraTomy didn't give it a Japanese release... ...which is ironic, given the original Wingblade Optimus Prime never got a Hasbro release.

    What figure is this upgrading, and what character does it represent?
  15. tekering
    Not if you've already released the General Lee, and thus created a market for figures to scale...
