  1. Just preordered mine from Amazon.jp.
  2. Yeah, that looks way off-scale. I bet the designers at TakaraTomy hate you as much as they hate Michael Bay.
  3. Thanks, Noel. I'm still trying to find the optimum lighting conditions.
  4. You won't be getting your Minmei until November, then...?
  5. It sounds absurd, and completely unjustifiable to me.
  6. Actually, it's ridiculously bad news. If they try to market 60cm Zentraedi figures, the line will implode long before they get around to releasing the main human cast. I'd rather not see them bankrupt the company, now that they've finally starting making a product worth buying...
  7. Yes, but she has gravitas, and that's something the MCU was sorely lacking before Thanos.
  8. The butt guns? You're kidding. Edit: OMG, you weren't kidding! My MAFEX Dark Knight is beginning to look right at home.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Ah, but that's not a misprint or a gaffe, it's merely a stylistic choice. To us, "shin" and "sin" are two different sounds, but there's no difference in Japanese. You could spell it "sheen," or "sin," or "seen," or "shin," and it would sound exactly the same. Students are still taught the standardized Nihon-shiki system in public school, which uses "sya, si, syu, syo," rather than "sha, shi, shu, sho." It's like saying "color" is spelled wrong because it's missing the "u"... "Colour" is also acceptable, of course, but it's much less commonly used.
  10. I tend to think of AVP as a Predator film (a brightly lit action film, that allows Yautja and human characters to interact), whereas AVP:R is an Alien film (an underlit horror movie, that further expands on alien physiology). As a bigger fan of space opera than action films, I prefer the Alien series... thus I think AVP:R is the better film. I'm hoping The Predator is, at the very least, a distinct improvement over AVP... That's not much to ask for, is it?
  11. Thanks. My camera died, so I did the best I could with my cell phone.
  12. Sentinel has released their latest Riobot, The Iron Giant. It's definitive.
  13. Ideal weight, incredible balance, fantastic articulation... and very photogenic. Take that, Bandai!
  14. After thirty years, three disappointing sequels and two hated crossovers, I'm beginning to wonder if "a good Predator movie" is even possible...
  15. Are we still confused about this? There's no mold re-use here; the "Nano Weapon Set" is just that, a set of option parts for use with the Mk. 50 (sold separately). Note the disclaimer at the top of each pic.
  16. I have both Hasegawa's 1:4000 kits and Yamarcadia's 1:3000 model, and I agree with your assessment completely. I'll be happy to provide whatever measurements you require.
  17. Oh sure, exactly the same... if you waited until after you'd completely painted and assembled the Gundam before doing the panel-lining.

    Hi-Metal R

    Yes, I believe that's correct. And "ReAction Figures" is English for dog sh!t.
  19. A Figma wouldn't scale with that little model anyway. That looks about 1:32 to me.
