    Well, you need a well-articulated figure to ride a hovercycle properly... LEDs mounted in the engines would look much more anime-accurate: That could be accomplished, with an electromagnetic base... 🤔 Now there's a practical solution that wouldn't increase the price. 😅

    Okay, since there seems to be some serious interest here: HR-32 Flash Clapper (as modeled by JOSEBLACKSOUL on Cults 3D) 3D-printed in light grey photopolymer resin, at 12K resolution (0.05mm layer height), and scale-adjusted to Kitz Concept's Dana Sterling figure (approximately 1:10 scale). I won't know the exact price until I've got a prototype finalized, but it'll cost significantly less than the Dana figure itself. I'll have a sample printed and photographed by the end of the month.

    8cm wide, 14cm long. Almost exactly the size of a 1:72 Legioss, actually.

    If I separate the fuselage, I could print one large enough to fit a 3.75" figure. 🤔 At about 1:22, this would roughly scale with the MEGO figures, the upcoming Factory Entertainment BSG Viper, and the vast majority of my Star Wars vehicles... ...oh, and my Max Factory gerwalk, too. 😁 For starters, though, we're just accurizing the vintage 1:35 Monogram kit.

    Nah, @SteveTheFish has me working on 3D models of the Buck Rogers Thunder Fighter now...

    How do you figure that? I figured those figures must be their figures, since the figures figure so prominently in their promo shots... 🤔 No figures? Go figure. 🤨

    Looks pretty shabby to me. Those seamlines are godawful, and you'll need to make major modifications just to get a decent pose out of that dinosaur. 🤨 Philistines! 😡

    This disturbs me as deeply as it did when I was a chlid. 🤨 It continues to keep me up at night.

    Damn, you really made that old kit shine... Literally! 😍

    The clothes make sense to me. The moustache, however, does not. 😒

    Toyrise is merely an imprint of TakaraTomy. They've been manufacturing transformable toys for nearly 50 years, and control a large segment of the Asian toy market. They can well afford to experiment with unorthodox designs. 😋

    I doubt Japanese law allows multiple companies to produce the same products, at the same scale, from the same IP. Otherwise, it would probably happen a lot more. 😉

    Jervis Tetch, Zatanna, and a Clock King...?! That's spectacular news.

    You captured his speech patterns so accurately I heard his voice in my head. 😯

    Sweet! 👍 i thought the new Viper designs were an equally respectful homage. Again, I'm happy to validate your feelings, but you do understand the intention there, right? Like every other aspect of the show, the cinéma-vérité realism extended to the space battles, applying the same documentary-style camerawork we've seen on the nightly news since the Vietnam war. That's how real dogfights have to be shot -- panning and zooming to follow the action as it happens -- and applying that aesthetic to a science-fiction space opera was truly groundbreaking... ...if a little jarring to oldskool fans. 😝 As opposed to the 1978 technique of reusing the same six model shots in every single episode? 😛 The original series was just so compromised by technical limitations, budget cutbacks, broadcast standards and practices, and television executive oversight, it's a miracle that it lasted as long as it did... until it became so unwatchable ABC canned it for good in 1980. Ironically, NBC made the same mistake that same year, retooling Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for its second season, with results almost as disastrous. 🫣 NuBSG, on the other hand, was so successful it not only completed its entire five-season epic, it spun off several TV movies, a prequel series, and a web series... and regardless of whether it satisfied your personal expectations, you certainly can't deny the universal acclaim it's received. So say we all!
