  1. These modex "errors" seem limited to the DYRL releases, thankfully. You're funnier than he is! Yes, but nothing informative or useful... certainly nothing that addresses the modex numbering specifically.

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm afraid you're gonna have to get used to all the lazy acronyms used in these forums -- users here can be as bad as the US military. AJ refers to Amazon.co.jp, otherwise known as Amazon Japan.
  3. Is this meant to represent an Earthbound Prometheus during the Malcontent Uprisings?
  4. Yeah, the legs are very well-articulated... ...so why would the feet need to rotate?
  5. That interview was for the TF Source Report, and I was asked to add more Transformers-specific answers to satisfy their readership... I found some of the responses from fans quite entertaining. The DYRL "remastered" DVD release was the first to incorporate the Flashback 2012 sequence into the closing credits... and there's at least one Blu-Ray release that also uses some of the footage (despite the SD video quality). I still cling to the hope that a film print of that sequence exists somewhere, because it desperately needs high-definition remastering. It's among the most beautiful animation ever produced by hand.
  6. Technically, it's from the ending sequence of Do You Remember Love?, depicting the launch of the SDF-2: However, since the sequence was not completed in time for its theatrical release, it was instead used as the ending sequence for the first Macross OAV, Flashback 2012. Like all Valkyrie designs, it has later appeared in video games. Yamato's original VF-4 release was based on the game color scheme, because they hadn't secured the rights to Flashback 2012; Arcadia now has the rights, so Hikaru's "unseen" Valkyrie will finally be available to us in all its 1:60 glory.
  7. The DX VF-1 is nothing if not photogenic... No, dude... that's just as half-assed as Bandai. If you're gonna commit, go the distance.
  8. No Skull Squadron is complete without Kakizaki.
  9. "Your lack of military decorum is most unbecoming, Mr. Kakizaki. What do you have to say for yourself?" The TV Valks don't, but Hikaru's VF-1S has the exact same number on the bottom of his wing.
  10. That sort of practical logic applies to Bandai engineering, NOT to Bandai marketing.
  11. Yes, and yes. Yeah, I was just being pedantic, and ended up making more work for myself... Nonetheless, all is right with the world again.
  12. Whoah! Don't think using a little thinner will make your work easier... The black coat is much too thin already.
  13. Not quite yet... Gotta fix the markings first.
  14. No, the mold was always that way... even before Transformers.
  15. Kenner's first 1989 Batman figure (see above) was based on William Shatner, who had been cast by Tim Burton because he wanted a fat, middle-aged Batman for the film. Unfortunately, Shatner decided to direct Star Trek V instead, leaving Burton stuck with Michael Keaton (and collectors stuck with a wide variety of Admiral Kirk Batman figures). This fascinating tidbit of speculative Kenner history has been brought to you by Hydra. Hail Hydra!
  16. Exactly. People are quick to jump on Kathleen Kennedy as the scapegoat, but she served exactly the same role in producing Rogue One and The Mandalorian as she did on the sequel trilogy. We must lay the failures of the ST on writer-directors "Ruin" Johnson and "Jar Jar" Abrams.
  17. Filthy! She's a real fixer-upper. By my calculations, it's almost exactly 1:100 scale. It's gonna need a complete disassembly, a thorough cleaning, and a detailed weathering job.
  18. This is the oldest toy I've ever purchased... ...one of the only Star Wars toys I never even saw as a child, actually.
  19. Those studio execs are really cutting it close this time... They've only got a week left to announce the next delay.
  20. Indeed it is. It requires assembly, paint, and at least a hundred separate strands of fiber-optics laid... ...but I'm a little overwhelmed with commissions that need to be completed first. Close the doors, seal the windows, and keep the humans out.
  21. Great job on the Bandai, derex3592. I did similar research for my (roughly) 1:3000 display:
  22. Unfortunately, the show increases his size to a citybot on the scale of Metroplex (!), so Titan Omega scales with your Siege figures about as well as Unicron does. See Prime and 'Bee down there?
  23. What's the point of having figures if you can't fit them inside? The Hot Wheels version is closer to 1:22nd, actually. You can never trust the stated scales with Hot Wheels... Just look at their "1:50" Star Trek ships. Oh, it's much bigger than you think... As sh9000 pointed out earlier, it's actually 1:6 scale.
  24. Are you a fan of the design? Is anyone a fan of the design?
