Even stranger that they've screwed up the colors so badly on Boba Fett... The blue of the jumpsuit, the green of the armor, the orange of the shoulder and knee guards... all wrong. As the Boba Fett for the 501st Japanese Garrison, I'm ashamed of what Bandai is doing to our favorite bounty hunter. -
On the contrary, he's got nothing holding him back now (except for a couple pending Macross commissions). It's only a matter of time.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Is that standing Zentradi soldier from Plastic Cretins as well? -
Sure is! It was the definitive YF-19 toy... until the Arcadia eclipsed it. And then the Bandai eclipsed the Arcadia. And now, it's just sort of quaint. With a pudgy little super-deformed pilot.
-
Well, not much money... ...but there isn't a Hi-Metal R alternative for the VF-25, and they display well with HMRs.
-
You bought one Toynami Alpha, and FOUR Toynami Beta fighters?
-
As long as they're in character, I'm all for it. I mean, Steve Rogers has been a shill for decades.
-
Other users have had success reaching out to Bandai directly... and since they're obviously aware of the problem, they may be willing to provide replacement parts.
-
She scales a little large, but she fits in the seat... I must say, Bandai did a much better job with the helmet this time around. And, since you suggested using Plastic Cretins Minmay as well: There's not enough leg room in the back, unless you cut off her feet... ...but you could always let her sit up front. My hat's off to you, sir. What's that creepy goo you're using for masking?
-
Well, I suppose that's what Bandai was going for... but it's not terribly convincing, to my eye.
-
I can't help but think you overdid it just a little on that bird, Lolicon... Did it come with the rainbow canopy?
-
Looks more like an expression of disapproval to me... I'm honestly not sure what Bandai was thinking with that pose.
-
As if there were any doubt... Comparing shades of orange... Comparing pilots... ...and somebody mentioned comparing nosecones...?

The Alien/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator Thread
tekering replied to VT 1010's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, "Ore" was much better than the earlier short; predictable, unoriginal, and ridden with clichés, but an improvement nonetheless. The acting was more naturalistic, the lighting more evocative, and the setting felt very real this time. I'd recommend "Ore," certainly over "Night Shift." -

Got another 1:48 Stealth VF-1J -- with Super/Strike parts -- so I could display the FAST packs on my Low-Vis VF-1A... I might just have to give this one the "Lolicon" treatment. It's mostly WAVE Hangar parts, yes... although it's built around the vintage "Macross Factory" model kit, and also includes some Zoids diorama sections: ...and NOVA "Ubiquitous" panels (for the ceiling).
-
Well, 30 seconds is about all I could take. There's nothing more annoying than watching disingenuous young actors pretending to be excited about something... ...and yet, 90% of Japanese TV is exactly that.
-
Check your mailboxes, guys! It's true! The ball joints are awesome, Cap'n.
-
I'd much prefer a DYRL Misa, myself... ...perhaps superimposed on a tactical display...?

Make no mistake; @borgified and I have a great deal in common, including our tastes in anime, sci-fi, toys and action figures. However, we have fundamentally different ideas of what constitutes a "diorama." Isn't that a Pokémon?

Wasn't April Fool's Day a couple weeks ago...? -

Damn, that TRON figure looks like it stepped right outta the movie screen! What do you estimate the scale to be? -
Some parts of it, sure... like the cockpit, which is why the Toynami figure doesn't fit. It's also awkwardly-proportioned and malformed -- like any MEP prototype -- so it's difficult to establish a definite scale.
-
If you lack the skill or inclination to build model kits, getting the pre-built car has clear advantages... but if you're looking to save money, the model kit's considerably cheaper and more readily available. As it's molded in color, and the figures come pre-painted either way, there aren't any significant differences.
-
I sought out the tie-in novels just to find out who the hell the "First Order" were, and where they'd come from... since JJ provided no exposition whatsoever. Star Wars: Bloodline provided some political backstory, but... it really wasn't worth the time to read.
