    Works even better with TomyTec N-gauge train accessories! This otherwise unremarkable town has a dark secret... ...an ominous new addition to the skyline has just been completed. Their quiet little city is about to be transformed...

    You both are. It's actually less than THREE seconds!

    I was just thinking exactly the same thing. I'm so disappointed that this project has derailed your 1:48 Southern Cross plans that I may actively boycott MAAS Toys (rather than simply ignoring them).

    When RoboCop 2 was still in the early stages of pre-production, Schwarzenegger approached Verhoeven with Total Recall, a project with a much bigger budget (and a much bigger star). I'm sure it was an easy decision for him to do Total Recall instead. Plus, despite being set 200 years in the future, Starship Troopers is as much a sequel to RoboCop as any film could possibly be.

    So the total absence of any visible paint applications whatsoever doesn't bother you? Looks like an unpainted model kit to me.

    Actually, it depends on who you ask... https://www.kent.net/robotech/mecha/invid/enforcer.shtml https://robotech.fandom.com/wiki/Invid_Enforcer http://digitsweb.com/UG/RPG/Palladium/Robotech/invid/igna/mecha/ie.html I think we'd better just stick to Japanese nomenclature. This is known as the Invid Malar: And yes, now that Sentinel has produced two fantastic 1:12 Mospeada figures -- and will be producing at least two more -- I'm sure it's the perfect time for a new Moscato resin kit (since the Southern Cross projects are indefinitely on hold).

    Well, he's got guardian mode down... I hope he figures out battloid!

    With all due respect, I don't think either of you remember what an Invid Eager looks like: Basically, nothing whatsoever like any Matchbox toy.

    There are significant deco differences on all of them... and of course, they were originally blister-packed in vehicle mode. That's why the new blisters largely obscure the packaging artwork behind them... of which Outback is particularly guilty.

    I put LEDs into my HMR Valkyrie cockpits: Just drilled a hole under the console, large enough to fit the bulb housing inside. Stuck a couple in my HMR Monster cockpit as well.

    Given only four characters from the new Planet of the Apes trilogy were produced as action figures, I seem to be building up a pretty good ape army here... "This... ape home. You go... now."

    Highly recommended!

    Kakizaki's VF-1A was, technically, distinct from the "bog standard..." ...albeit, only slightly.

    Love it, Pontus.

    Actually, they've directly responded to my complains on Facebook: And my response: Overall, the Facebook comments have been much more positive, and not nearly as critical as we've been here...

    Holy hell, that CG rendering is godawful. Every single shape is wrong. Just scrap it all, and start over from scratch. There's nothing salvageable there. My enthusiasm for this project just evaporated.

    Honestly, I don't think SD Valkyries are cute. It's because they lack humanoid features. Gundams have two eyes, Transformers have two eyes, and many have noses and mouths as well -- all recognizably human attributes missing from Valkyrie head designs -- so other robots tend to work better in super-deformed proportions. Valkyrie faces are just too coldly mechanical to be anthropomorphized. In fact, I think that's why the VFGs exist instead. ADV's "Muh-CROSS" dub would suggest otherwise...

    The first of the 1:12 horses I ordered has arrived. Now I need to learn how to make reigns and a saddle...

    Small girls are especially cute! Image taken from my camera!

    That's probably what Gundam would look like if Makoto Shinkai directed it.

    So thirty years have passed, and they're now in a world of drones and smartphones... but nobody's aged a day?

    What are you guys talking about? How would a Kitz Concept Veritech toy possibly be preferable to an Arcadia or Bandai Valkyrie? As far as I can tell, the unique 1:72 scale is the only appeal this toy has to offer.

    I have to assume Walmart has spent millions of dollars in licensing fees, production costs, CGI and airtime to distract us from realizing that ordering groceries online, only to physically drive to the store to pick them up, is an incredibly dumb idea. Still, nice to see 'Bee getting a prominent cameo!

    Magic Square, all day long. Look at the face, dude... and the clean, unbroken lines of the pelvis with the transparent amber lights... the rotating grey thighs... even the size and shape of the feet. The battle-damage options are just icing on the cake!
