I'm more than happy to prioritize my Southern Cross projects, if it encourages you to do the same. π

Case in point: Check out the detailing on the inside of the missile covers! π² We are all blessed to know @captain america.

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
tekering replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Looks legit to me. I mean, did none of you watch Rebels? π€¨ -
I just want to state for the record, I HATE having to paint tiny details by hand. Thanks for the "before" pic, @jenius. βΊοΈ This took much longer than expected. π³ We love the little pilot figures, Sentinel, but could you paint them yourselves next time? π€

Heads up, the Micro Galaxy Squadron Imperial Shuttle is available again at Walmart.com! -
Given you both have the same problem, are we to assume this is a widespread issue? Are they ALL this way? π€¨

Or, like the Inquisitors in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, they could be thrown in with no explanation whatsoever. π

That's damn cool... ...but the AT-ST is clearly the Return of the Jedi version. βΊοΈ

I think that's supposed to be the Walking Cannon mode, actually... although it's hard to tell. π Strange thing is, it looks nothing like the Massimo Tonielli design MEP displayed in New York three years ago: "Decent" is charitable, but it's an improvement over the 3D-printed prototype above. π It's not a poor design, by any means, but any attempt to engineer a transformable toy inevitably results in aesthetic compromises. I'd much prefer a non-transformable model of each mode that wouldn't require such compromise.

Don't worry, something much more accurate is on the horizon... ...but you'll have to paint and assemble it yourself.

Considering the cockpit has to be large enough to fit Roy, Rickaru seems just the right size to me. π Of course, I'd be shocked if their VF-1S comes with an appropriately-tall Roy figure. π²

Good grief, 37 steps! This is as complex as your Buster kit!* π² *Well, almost. Those destructions were 38 steps. π

Looks like that ship has sailed. π

I had a friend in high school who drew derivative mecha like that. Very similar proportions. We weren't impressed with them, either. π

Yeah, with all these ugly (and unnecessary) design changes from Sentinel, MoShow, and now Pose+, it's beginning to seem like they're deliberately avoiding copyright infringement or something... π

You'd think, with all that blatant Photoshopping in their promo pics, they wouldn't leave half the windows unpainted... π€¨

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

I've had KFC's "Rhinohorn" for years, and it looks nothing like yours... Looks like they must've gone back to the drawing board. πΆ- 9401 replies

Seriously, guys? Am I the only one who thinks Playmates did a better job THIRTY YEARS ago? π€¨ Sure, the lack of "aztecking" is still egregious, but at least they'd bothered to paint the escape pods and phaser strips, back in the day... π

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nah, that's not personal preference, it's canon. The "Fokker Special" doesn't have black ears. it's just another one of those baffling KitzConcept mistakes. π Thanks for the great comparison pics!- 2626 replies

tekering replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's shoplifting, pure and simple. Any of us can take advantage of inconsistent distribution, lenient return policies, and ignorant and apathetic staff, and profit off our crimes on the secondary market. The only thing stopping us is our (rapidly-eroding) sense of morality. π€- 17898 replies

I remember those... As starved as we were for new content, most of the Eternity stuff was a disappointment -- not as eye-searing as Comico, but poorly-illustrated nonetheless. Malcontent Uprisings were the only Robotech comics I actually enjoyed reading.

Almost. π€ And that's what's keeping me from pulling the trigger. These are barely a head shorter than Yamarcadia's 1:60 VF-1s, and barely a head taller than KitzConcept's 1:72 VF-1s... Just awkwardly-scaled enough to need a shelf of their own, and just awkwardly-scaled enough to be incompatible with everything except Hot Wheels cars. π
