    This one just sold on Yahoo! Japan Auctions back in June:

    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.
  3. tekering
    Oh sure, exactly the same... if you waited until after you'd completely painted and assembled the Gundam before doing the panel-lining.

    Yes, I believe that's correct. And "ReAction Figures" is English for dog sh!t.

    A Figma wouldn't scale with that little model anyway. That looks about 1:32 to me.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. They displayed their Back to the Future II flying DeLorean back in 2015, and it still hasn't seen the light of day.

    I'd always assumed that was an early Megazone 23 design... especially since Harmony Gold still had the license at that point.

    Are they the same size as Gundam Converge figures? 'Cause I've got lots of them... ...and it would be cool if they were display-compatible, since the proportions are identical.
  10. tekering
    Those are cool, but much too small. Here are some slightly higher-res versions. That one's called "The Last Supers."

    No, he's talking about the process, and you're right -- the technology continues to improve rapidly. Look at what EXO's capable of these days! I was merely taking the opportunity to critique the Thingiverse model, which (surprisingly) nobody else had commented on. Yes, but it would also be a tremendous waste of time and talent. Our erstwhile Cap has a gift for finding the gaps in our collections -- enemy mecha, spaceships, weapons and accessory packs -- and making the stuff that other companies don't. That's where the demand is. The SDF-1 has been done, and done, and done again, and will be done again in the future... Hopefully, with a much more accurate 3D model we can print ourselves.

    I believe that's from the Gundam PS2 game めぐりあい宇宙 (Meguri Ai Sora) from 2003. They depict the original Zaku I Black Tri-Stars from the Battle of Loum, the Zaku IIs used at A Baoa Qu, and the Doms they used on Earth during their fateful encounter with the Gundam.

    The quality of the prints isn't gonna make much difference with such a poor 3D model to work from. The whole point of a larger, more expensive model is to provide greater detail and accuracy, but subpar modeling like this defeats the whole purpose. I mean, despite how much fans complain about Hasegawa's 1:4000 kit, look how much more detailed and accurate the parts are: A model ten times larger should therefore be ten times MORE detailed, not ten times LESS. That Thingiverse model isn't worth the time or the effort to print, much less the cost of the filament.

    They've been animated before. Check out this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5nMowEesrA Edit: How the hell do you guys embed YouTube clips?

    You may be straining the definition of "toy" a little. I mean, there are 3D-printed kits you can order that are larger -- one of them even based on the same MP-10 engineering that created this massively over-scaled knock-off -- but I wouldn't describe them as toys, either... ...whereas this guy just needs his die-cast smokestacks attached, and you're ready to go. Pictured with the TakaraTomy MP-10 Masterpiece Convoy, for scale.

    Introducing Lewin Industries' "Atlas." Yes, "Atlas" is THAT big. 71 centimeters tall! Biggest transforming toy EVER. And rock-solid, too... This ain't no combiner, yo.

    Okay, so I know I'm really late to the party, and it's old news, and it's so common as to be worthless on the secondary market... but I laughed my ass off when I saw it, and I just had to buy it.

    AGAC? AJAX? AJAC? AGACs? This site and this site say AJACS, this site uses AGAC, this site says AGAC/AJAX, and this site uses AJAC and AGAC interchangeably. How about we drop the inconsistent acronyms and Robotech nomenclature and just use "Auroran," eh?

    Heads up, guys. R2KF's re-pop of Moscato Models' "Kamujin" resin figure scales perfectly with HMR. At least, as depicted in the anime... ...as unrealistic as that may be.
  23. tekering
    My Kamujin has arrived, courtesy of R2KF and Moscato Models. I intend to fully articulate the figure before painting, of course, but for now here's a quick-and-dirty assembly just to establish scale: Agreed. That's why I think he scales great with HMR... pretty much exactly the "cartoon scale" I was hoping for. He'd be hard-pressed to fit into either of those cockpits, of course, but that's the height Zentraedi soldiers were depicted at in the series... and Quamzin was supposedly taller than most Zentraedi (as fleet commanders typically were, it would seem). I just hope Bandai follows suit with their Vrlitwhai figure... if it ever sees the light of day, that is.

    "Henshin," Cap'n? Isn't that a little disingenuous?
  25. tekering
    It seems the toys have always compromised fighter mode for armor-soldier... perhaps this one does the opposite. Definitely something new and different going on with the cockpit and nosecone there.
