    Great weathering, gorgeous photography, but such an ugly, awkward battroid...

    Oh, I love this sub-line. The AKOM Masterpiece series!

    Yes, the "Project BM!" behemoth. Their 1:6 Tetsuo is fabulous, too.

    Is black humor not your thing? Brightburn? More like Slowburn. It takes the film 75 minutes to accomplish what the trailer established in 90 seconds.

    If it doesn't light up like TRON, I just don't see the point. Not to mention those lovely sound effects...

    You just made my day!

    It's cute you still think you don't want it.

    Thanks (as always) for the informative review, Mike. The comparison pictures are particularly appreciated. Even Constructor is too short, based on the typical size combiners appeared onscreen... ...but of course, they're consistently inconsistent in their depiction at the best of times. Still way off, I fear. Sunbow scale would require absurdly large combiners, or ridiculously small Transformers... Even those tiny decoys look too big...! Assaultus (and frankly, every other combiner team) remains too small even for Siege or Earthrise-scale figures. It always does, I'm afraid. For a franchise explicitly designed to sell toys, they cheat scale so damn much it's very difficult to be satisfied with the product they're marketing. Look who's damning with faint praise now...!

    That's correct. That's equally correct.

    For anyone curious as to what a DX Chogokin 1:48 scale Glaug might look like... Almost too big for my light tent!

    Hi-Metal R

    No, Episode 6.

    No, there isn't. I don't know why they bothered to number those decals. Water slides.

    In an attempt to de-escalate the situation here, I will state that both Jason and Noel have responded to the situation in a reasonable and professional manner, and both have offered acceptable compromises: Noel has offered a complete refund if the product is returned. This is standard and acceptable business practice from a manufacturer and retailer. Jason has asked for a replacement box to be shipped to him, free of charge. This is not an unreasonable expectation, and certainly a better outcome for Noel than having to lose the sale by offering a refund (much less losing a PayPal dispute). Here we have a rare opportunity to see how a manufacturer deals with customer service issues first-hand, where both parties are contributing to a public forum. Jason is a respected collector and a friend, and I think if he cools down a little and shows patience, he can come to an acceptable compromise with Noel. We're grateful to have Noel here to address him directly, as we have great respect for the product he produces and want to continue to engage with him directly through this forum. If he cools down a little and shows a little understanding, he can come to an acceptable compromise with Jason, and avoid damaging his public image where many serious fans and collectors congregate. Don't let this get out of hand, guys. Ignore the bruised egos and avoid the personal attacks, and we know you can work this out.

    Hey look, new Cannon Fodder! Welcome, @TeaSeabz. Come to drop some knowledge, have you? Note that screw covers are meant to cover screw holes.
  15. tekering
    The lanky proportions certainly suggest a Yamato, but the extensive tampo looks like a Bandai DX... but significantly different. It does come with screw covers, right? 'Cause those holes on the legs are deep and pronounced.

    You mean who's already masked off the visor and sprayed it grey?
  20. tekering
    Well, here it is, with no surprises... just a straight Arcadia re-release of the ol' 1:60 vanilla. As before, it lacks even the tampographed UN SPACY the Yamato release had... A "premium finish" release would be most welcome. The GBP also wants for some of the usual markings... but remains the most well-articulated of all the armored Valkyries. Look at that poser showing off.

    The picture is for illustrative purposes only. Do not attempt to use as a laxative.
  23. tekering
    Right here, @arbit.

    Incidentally, you got those backwards, @sqidd. The armor is consistently grey (not blue) in the TV series. Oddly enough, the toys have always gone with blue for the armor, which is closer to DYRL (but isn't really consistent with either)... ...but never with the yellow-tipped DYRL missiles...! Yes, the "goggles" are much more consistently grey in the episode (except when they aren't). However, once the armor is jettisoned, the coloring becomes consistently inconsistent. Yeah, I dig the "ambulance" scheme.
