Toynami's Series 2 figures went up for pre-order in May -- of last year -- and were slated for a September 2019 release. Ten months later, there's still no sign of them. Don't expect Series 3 until 2022... at the earliest. [ . . . ] Come to think of it, that's still faster than KC.

With all the custom modifications made to that vintage Imai kit (metal parts, LED headlights, sideview mirrors), you'd think he would modify the figure so it could at least sit on the bike...
-
Plenty of adult content in Part 1, too...
-
The 1:18 kit won't, but -- if he manages to sell 50 of them anyway -- it sounds like he'll be able to finance the production of a 1:12 version. Like any new Southern Cross product, it's tentative at best.
-
Man, I get so excited when I read the words "1:18 Hovertank," but then I remember their horrible, horrible prototype... You'd be better off modifying a Matchbox toy! And hell, the only Southern Cross figures to scale are Matchbox anyway...

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Gorgeous customs, @levzloi. Inspiring work. Must be nerve-wracking to transform them, though... -
I admire your optimism! Frankly, I don't believe this will ever come out.

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Guys, what are you doing? Don't give us actual height measurements for the figure! If you're gonna label each image with "1/12," you know what's gonna happen, right? That's right. We're gonna do the math. According to your measurements, you claim that Jeanne is 5'11" (180cm) in her duty uniform, and 6'4" (192cm) in her armor...? That would put Lana over 6', Marie and Charles at 6'8", and Andrzej at a whopping 7'1". See? Don't publish the actual figure heights, idiots.
-
So... you bought them to admire the box art?
-
Yeah, that's a 1:6th scale statue. Given the cost of their previous statues, I fear the MSRP...

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
tekering replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is that "Smuggler's Run" Hondo Ohnaka a whole new figure? The Chewbacca obviously isn't... -
Yes, I'm afraid they are. They're dealing with a backlog of several months, and they've got their hands full just accepting incoming packages from overseas. When the situation changes, you'll be able to read about it here.
-
What, like Alien vs. Predator? What, like Batman v Superman?
-
That seems a rather minor issue to concern yourselves with, compared to the scale issue with Kong (who was barely a hundred feet tall in Kong: Skull Island)...

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
tekering replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Any wild theories as to why they're calling it "Alternative Universe" Optimus? -
It's just fandom slang for the mass-production Valkyrie units, the brown-and-ivory color scheme most VF-1As have in the animation. It stands for "cannon fodder."
-
You guys are killin' it with those poses! Today was such a beautiful day, I went shopping downtown and took a few pictures...

[Netflix] Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy: Siege

It's much worse than that, since he'd have to commission somebody to build them; he has neither the time nor the skill to paint and assemble one (much less three!) himself. Mind you, it appears the "Fokker Army" display is battroid-only, which is imminently practical. Well, I see no mention of the tiny 1:144 Tomytec Macross Modelers version: It comes with parts for all three modes, and it's completely pre-painted.

[Netflix] Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy: Siege
tekering replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I wonder if we'll be able to see this in Japanese, with English subtitles...? Depending on the dialogue (and the delivery), it might be preferable. The Star Wars prequels, for example, are a helluva lot better in Japanese. -
BBTS has 'em up for pre-order as well. I sure hope this line does well, and we get a lot more X-Men movieverse figures in the pipeline. Hasbro, MAFEX, Bandai, Revotech, Hot Toys... you name it, they're all over the MCU characters, but the X-Men films have been basically ignored for years.
-
Can't wait to see that pic! I use my eyes. If it an't pitch black with the lights out, my Valks ain't goin' in there! Yeah, that sounds unreasonably uncooperative of them.
-
The product is still six months from release, listings continue to sell out in minutes (regardless of price), yet they refuse to offer you a refund on your pre-order? They haven't got a leg to stand on... I can't fathom why they're even fighting you on this.
-
Absolutely. You've gotta maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy with sunlight. You're gonna need more Fokkers, then. Structurally, no... Aesthetically, yes.
-
At that scale, labors would be tiny; as small as any of Bandai's Robot Spirits or Hi-Metal R toys. Unless they come pre-painted and tampographed, there's no way they'll look that good.
