You mean Kathleen Kennedy? She's the one calling the shots now. If Lucas were even consulted, it would only be as a courtesy. -
There must be a translation problem here.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Mech iDeas did a great job with "Bluster" and "Trench" (their Animated Huffer and Pipes), yet sales were disastrous -- five years later, and retailers still have them on clearance -- so I doubt any third-party would be willing to take on the financial risk now. Plus, direct head-to-head competition seems to be motivating 3P character choices nowadays.- 9240 replies

I'd keep it lower to the ground, if I were you... It's a significant weight, and a fall could result in significant damage. -

Oh yes, this page is full-on Marvel. Ridiculously enough, however, it's the best Robotech comics have ever looked...!

The Alien/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator Thread
tekering replied to VT 1010's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In that case, I'd recommend you hunt down this version: The "AvP2" warrior design incorporated elements from Giger's original Alien, Cameron's redesign for Aliens, and the longer appendages from the later sequels... and, since it's neither blue, nor green, or brown-tinted, it's about as "generic" as a Xenomorph figure can be. It's also the largest of NECA's drones at this scale. -

Whoops! That's the latest NECA release, from their new Alien Resurrection line. It stands about nine inches, fully erect. I ordered mine from BigBadToyStore.com. Who's Simone? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/44143-kitz-concept-robotech-toy-line/?do=findComment&comment=1482839 -
Simple answer: Mospeada merchandise has always been superior to Robotech merchandise, just as Mospeada is superior to Robotech.

The Alien/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator Thread
tekering replied to VT 1010's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, that's the easy answer, obviously... ...but I assume he meant "warrior" Xenomorph, as opposed to a chestburster, facehugger, or any other representation of the life-cycle (not to mention variants like the neomorph, queen, "newborn," "Predalien," or "Deacon"). Of course, that still leaves numerous options... ...without even considering battle-damaged variants... ...film or toy concept variants... ...or comic and video game variants. I think you'll have to be more specific. I mean, the typical Xenomorph drone has appeared in seven films over the past four decades, and every single film has redesigned the suit... ...and between Kenner, Aoshima, McFarlane, NECA (and several other manufacturers), there are several competing versions from each film. Some have a preference based on the quality of the film they represent... ...some have a preference based on the aesthetics of a particular design... ...and some just gotta have every variant of every figure from every film! -
Were you aware that Toynami issued a recall on that particular model? As much as I laugh derisively at "the high level of quality that our customers expect," I must grudgingly respect them for taking responsibility for that particular dumpster fire. That doesn't excuse the rest of their product line, of course, but it does suggest that the Shadow Alpha was, somehow, even worse. Refunds were issued, no questions asked, for a full two months after the announcement.

Yes, many blame Bandai for underproducing their DX Chogokin line, thereby creating a secondary market for scalpers to exploit.

tekering replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
I see the black background is throwing off your color balance -- slightly green tint in the old pic, and significantly violet tint now. I occasionally experience similar problems, but it's easy enough to fix in post. -
The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Fair enough... I've never even bothered transforming mine. I have absolutely no use for a transformable Walther P38 replica, and its accuracy can't hold a candle to the Walther P38 BB guns I have. I think it's a common fallacy to assume MP-10 established a new scale, when it fact it was MP-3, Kawamori's Masterpiece Starscream, that established the current scale. Sure, MP-5 (Megatron) and MP-8 (Grimlock) were outliers, but MP-9 (Rodimus Prime) was consistent with the Seeker scale, and MP-10 (Convoy) was designed to be equal in height to Rodimus, as the ubiquitous handshake image constantly reminded us: Thus, MP-10 was merely following an already-established scale, not setting a trend.- 9240 replies
