  1. A painted Borough Superior is possible, but we'd be lucky to even see a mock-up prototype for the Bartley...
  2. Wait, why did they make Pikachu a talking stuffed animal? Oh, right. Because ted was a big hit. And Paddington. And Christopher Robin, even. It's what Hollywood does now.
  3. In other words, their system automatically defaults to whatever price the item currently sells for on their site, and customer service has to manually adjust the pre-order price to what you were originally charged. Just wait 24 hours, and check to see whether the price you'll be charged is back to what it used to be.
  4. Yeah, that's a great deal. Last one! Here's the product page.
  5. Be careful what you wish for, buddy. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_BotBots
  6. Man, this could've been an American Sailor Moon, but it's turned out to be Ben 10 in drag.
  7. Really? Looking at the battroid proportions, I was thinking just the opposite...
  8. It's odd that Yamato never gave us a 1D, yet we got those non-canon color schemes... I doubt Bandai will ever give us these, though!
  9. Looks like a fixed-pose resin kit to me. It's not bad... ...but Captain America could do much better.
  10. Sorry, my MPM-7's in pieces at the moment (gotta fix that half-assed weathering job HasTak did), but I think their vehicles modes scale very well together. Of course, measuring the wheelbase and confirming the dimensions with online stats is the only way to be sure.
  11. It's been years since TakaraTomy last gave us a Diaclone homage in the Masterpiece line: Here's MP-42, Cordon. I can help you there, Noel... A Figma stand, actually. See the gap between the arms? It fits in there pretty securely. There's almost no metal in the VF-11, so the weight it supported easily.
  12. It's certainly not the worst we've seen...
  13. I'd say even 1:144 is generous... but it's impossible to determine the actual scale these Death Star panels represent. I bought four sets myself.
  14. Oh, I really don't like the white pinstripes.
  15. And, for those of you who prefer using Amazon.jp: https://www.amazon.co.jp/超時空要塞マクロス-愛・おぼえていますか-minimum-factory-組み立て式プラスチックモデル/dp/B07JMT83J6
  16. Rainbow canopy on a removable cockpit module! Well, not at the prices they're fetching on the secondary market, eh? As much as we worship the YF-19 (and well we should, it's a work of art), the one thing that always disappointed me about Macross Plus is how little respect the VF-11 gets. Despite its auspicious debut -- in one of the finest action sequences ever animated, I might add -- it's never given any attention, treated as merely an outdated model ready to be replaced by the New Hotness. They might as well just used ol' VF-1s for the opening sequence instead.
  17. The Thunderbolt has always been my favorite of Yamato's valkyries. They never quite did the YF-19 justice, but they nailed the VF-11... at least, in fighter mode.
  18. Not if it's 1:6000, as labeled. The Megahouse is 1:5000. That's a significant difference, as any Star Trek collector can tell you.
  19. It would be impossible to transform, at that scale... although I suppose some fiber-optic lighting is feasible.
  20. Yuck. The cel-shaded paint work may be screen-accurate, but the surface detailing certainly isn't... Is that supposed to be... rust? Or... moss? Acne scars? I'm sure it's intentional, but it looks entirely too much like a really amateur paint job... Like, the brush was dirty, and the paint was too thick, and it dried too quickly, and the painter mixed acrylics and enamels together...
  21. Yes, S.H. Figuarts Tendo Akane... an expensive piece to acquire on the secondary market. As was Hibiki Ryoga. Thankfully, the Revoltech turtles were re-issued, so they can still be found at reasonable prices...
