    You mean you pre-ordered this knock-off Optimus Prime, but then cancelled your KO OP PO? OMG! Now I can't unsee it. You mean Spark Toy's "Alpha Pack?" I agree, but it was closer to CHUG scale... ...and these days, third-party figures are either Masterpiece- or Legends-scale. Plus, it hasn't been on the market for years.

    You obviously didn't watch the video. Lucky you. 19:01 "I didn't want to use any paints at all for when I was building this kit." 19:56 "I didn't want to bust out any paints. Didn't want to use any paints at all." 22:54 "Nothing on this kit is painted." That alone should indicate how lazy and amateurish this "review" is, and I suspect he spent as little time making the kit as he did preparing his video. It doesn't even begin to explain how someone who claims to live in Japan could have such a poor grasp of Japanese pronunciation, however. Those of us who have suffered through the ADV dubs will recognize the grating sound of "Muh-CROSS," but I'd never heard anyone say "Tuh-MEE-ya" before...

    Those retro trailers are fantastic!

    That's the advantage of miniatures, see: Scale is relative to how you choose to display it. You can put your Legioss with an appropriately-sized figure for an accurate sense of scale... ...or next to a smaller-scale figure to make it look giant... ...or even with something so wildly off-scale that it looks positively humungous. The choice is yours! You're only limited by your imagination. ...And the other figures in your toy collection, of course.

    Oh, they looked that way in the show, too... but the fingers weren't so flesh-colored.

    At least he fits in a Detolf... No such luck with Lewin's "Atlas."

    The picture is for illustrative purposes only. Do not apply to open cold sores.

    Actually, a Hi-Metal R Valkyrie in battroid is exactly 160mm, to the tip of the head lasers. Sentinel's Legioss will be smaller than Toynami's, Aoshima's, or CM's were.

    Well, I have been known to make brief exceptions... ...but yeah, I learned first-hand the damage the sun can do. My vintage Valks suffered as badly as my vintage Stormtroopers did. Sunlight has been completely banished from my toy rooms for nearly two decades now.

    Certainly not. Yamato's off-white plastic will always look ivory next to the blueish-grey hue of Bandai's DX, but none of my Yammies show signs of yellowing. My vintage 1:55, on the other hand...

    So, after the release of this trailer, are we expecting another two-year delay? It sure doesn't look like they've changed much... and the CG compositing work looks like shite.

    The absence of any Bubblegum Crisis motoslave or Mospeada ride armor in that display is utterly deplorable.

    Okay, I'll admit I have less than no interest in the Bayverse Constructicons, but your review piqued my curiosity... ...and I'm shocked to learn that those massive tires -- Scavenger/Demolisher's defining feature -- having nothing to do with their alt. mode? What initially struck me as a lazy, half-assed robot mode design is now virtually incomprehensible.

    At the extremely awkward 1:285 scale, what else could you possibly use them for?

    Sadly, the transformable toy is quite profoundly lame. The upcoming Revoltech figure has much better proportions, but doesn't transform.
  17. tekering
    For the same reason the gerwalk was, of course. 'Cause it's Robotech!

    MP-47 certainly won't supersede "Willis" on my Masterpiece shelf, but I'd happily display it in vehicle mode alongside FansToys' figure in robot mode.

    Apparently, some people still prefer Kenner's vintage line to modern Hasbro figures... ...although I really can't imagine why.
  20. tekering
    They expect to release three new figures in the next six months? I'll believe it when I see it.

    Another failure for MEP, then. Maybe next time. They have the resources, they just need a better design team.

    Especially considering there are only three countries in the world that don't use the metric system: Myanmar, Liberia, and... I keep forgetting the other one. The media tends to focus on the extremes, and present those extremes with such regularity as to normalize them. Allow me to correct some common misconceptions: Japanese people are not well-educated. They spend a lot of time in school, but the system of education is fundamentally broken. Technologically-speaking, they lag behind the rest of the developed world, and still rely heavily on the postal system, fax machines, and rubber stamps for approval. Anime is virtually unknown, unless it has been broadcast on network television for over a decade (or was animated by Studio Ghibli). Kaiju actually cause much less damage than Toho movies have suggested.

    Yes! I finally managed to secure a pre-order for the Spiral Studios KOTM King Ghidorah. Now I need to buy a bigger house to display it in.

    I think you'll find Amazon.jp can be very much like eBay, in that third-party sellers can and will charge whatever outrageous prices they want to.

    Will this be another Kenner homage figure, then?
