    That's the advantage of having action figures: you can recreate the movie that should've been. Yeah, I'm talking to you, J.J. You could've reunited all these characters for The Force Awakens -- Lucasfilm brought all the actors back for you -- but instead, you kept them all apart, and now half of them are dead.

    That's because they so horribly mismanaged the merchandising... Three weird little statues, and a $250 Hot Toys figure? I haven't seen a toyetic property with such wasted potential since Mad Max: Fury Road.

    Oh, a Hirogen warrior would've made an awesome figure! A Hirogen Nazi would've been great, too. Unfortunately, all we ever got was that Hirogen Borg from Art Asylum... What a bizarre, random choice that was.

    That's all well and good, but... where's Harry Kim?

    I bought the other four Planet X Dinobots, but never bothered with "Vulcan." I didn't see a significant reason to upgrade. Of course, I only looked as far as the robot mode. That alt. mode is fabulous!

    Are the spelling ("Zentredi," "Cammander") and grammatical mistakes ("However he originally") intentional, or just typical Toynami QC?

    That's stupidly small. Won't scale with SH Figuarts, Marvel Legends, MAFEX, Revoltech, Play Imaginative, or... ANY other company producing Iron Man figures. Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, Hot Toys.

    Baby got back! Extremely humanoid proportions there -- I'm sure the fandom will eat it up -- but regardless, it'll be a great kit. The Furai IDW Prime was one of the nicest injection-mold kits I've ever assembled, and the articulation was crazy good.
  10. tekering
    Yeah, I couldn't figure out why it looked so awkwardly-proportioned until I realized I was seeing a HasTak mold.

    Flashback 2012 (anime) vs. Macross VF-X (video game) color schemes.

    I'm not loving those hinged panels hanging under the intakes in Armo-Diver mode, either. I imagine this Legioss will best be displayed in Fighter mode... ...but good Lord, the pilot looks huge in there!

    Okay, that's fair point. I don't know what Arcadia was thinking there... They really should've followed Bandai's lead for their "Premium Finish" releases. Bandai's colors were much more accurate.
  14. tekering
    Bandai set the precedent, having produced the first transformable VF-4A model. Those are the established colors now, superseding whatever RPG or fan-art depicted before. Like jenius said, it never transformed. Beyond what was depicted onscreen in Flashback 2012, nothing was canon until the Hi-Metal R. Despite appearances, yes.
  15. tekering
    Yes, that's the Eta. Seeing Sentinel's Legioss next to their Houquet, their "1:48" looks a lot more like 1:60 to me... Definitely closer to Toynami/Aoshima size than Evolution Toys, anyway.
  16. tekering
    So... if I melt down the thousand dollars' worth of Evolution Toys Legioss I've bought, will the recycled plastic be worth a dollar?
  17. tekering
    Those are customs, right?
  18. tekering
    Hmm... maybe FansToys are too small, then.
  19. tekering
    I've always used the Sunbow cartoon for scale reference, myself... The Dinobots were always depicted much larger than their toys were, so we sometimes forget how big they were intended to be!
  20. tekering
    With all due respect, Mike, I don't think that's necessary... HasTak provided us with the perfect Siege-scaled Grimlock a decade ago.
  21. tekering
    FansToys' "Dibots" are indeed closer to their animation models, and more accurately-scaled than Gigapower's... ...in robot mode, at least.

    Check our thread on Macross figures, tankball... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/36970-macross-figures/?do=findComment&comment=1476741 Oh, and check your math, while you're at it.

    Being in Japan, Amazon.jp has been my go-to for every Japanese toy. They don't charge my card until it ships, domestic shipping is free, and I always get it on release day. However, recent pre-order pages all have this "10% consumption tax charged item" notice, and I don't know if that's included in the list price or not... and, despite their "pre-order price guarantee," they're not always the cheapest. Arcadia's Proto-Garland is a case-in-point: there are three third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace, and they're all asking less than Amazon's own pre-order price. Anime-Export got my business this time. Not only do they accept PayPal, but their asking price is the cheapest -- a full ¥3200 cheaper than Amazon!

    Macross figures

    tekering replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    That can't be right. That's over $20,000 USD.
  25. tekering
    They transform your bank account into a smoking pile of rubble. Oh, and speaking of which: This 1:50 diecast German crane cost over $1000 USD. CM's Patlabor figures sold separately. No more complaining about the cost of Macross toys!
