    Right. "Adding logical details that the animation simply couldn't do when hand-drawn across 50 episodes" (like a zillion little no-steps, the modex numbers, and the squadron insignia) is a good thing. Completely inventing a new paint scheme (stripes!) is not.

    This is one instance where "Bandai excessive tampo printing" could look great---on Emerald Force -19F's and 19S's. They look really good with all the optional Yamato stickers on.

    Considering how many Frontier DX valks are out there, I think an SMS-logo one could be nice (even though Bandai has already done their own version)

    If you have any interest in the J-20, this pic is likely to catch your attention, insane details: https://www.airliners.net/photo/China-Air-Force/Chengdu-J-20A/7721053

    I haven't thought of Macrossnald's in years!

    They changed the green between Grace releases----but in the wrong way. It should have been made MORE brownish and less green, but they made it even more green. They could possibly make a revival version "the brownest one yet", and get closer to the 1/72 model kit, but could just as easily go even further into an incorrect "pure green".

    If anyone buys this and wants to sell off the boosters from their old one, I'm interested... (the odds of a revival Grace are low, I figure)

    Make the yellow less intense. It's not THAT insanely rich a shade on the show IIRC. They've got "fast food golden-yellow" there, which a lifetime of seeing such conditions people to associate it (especially with red) as "cheap".

    Never tried it on acrylic, but I use Novus #2 on both ABS and Polycarbonate.

    The original Yamato Sv-51 is the only valk that has drawn my blood more than once. (not that many have drawn blood at all, but the -51 is the only one where it happens like half the time you try to transform it)

    All black but yellow scanner? Then you need to make it all dusty and covered in sand.

    I still plan to wait for a KARR repaint. I mean, c'mon---it would have Peter Cullen voice clips! (if they're smart---though technically, Cullen only voiced it for the earlier "looks utterly identical to KITT" version, and not the later appearance with the cool 2-tone paint job and yellow scanner)

    Mech Invasion's Hook and Long Haul are SO good, but making Mixmaster an arm, and a conventional truck instead of a cabover, is a deal-killer. It's like they're trying so hard to be both G1 and Bayverse at the same time. Long Haul being clearly a Bayverse dump truck instead of G1 isn't that big a deal IMHO--still forms the lower torso, and it's still a generally similar-looking type of dump truck. But Mixmaster is so clearly neither the G1 position nor type of truck. And it doesn't even look good as an arm, it looks terrible. Maybe if they'd made an awesome-looking arm mode out of that cement mixer, I might possibly be convinced. And Scrapper just has a terrible bot mode with shovel-feet. (and is also now an arm...) If they redid it with the same torso bots, but made the legs legs and the arms arms, as they should be---I'd be all-in.

    Buyee is a proxy service that makes it much easier for people not living in Japan, to source from Japanese auction sites and sellers. I use "From Japan" myself. They act as middle-men, that purchase and receive the goods within Japan on your behalf, who then ship to you. You are 20x more likely to find the parts you need on a dedicated Japanese auction site/shop, than you are on Ebay etc. But many of such shops will not ship internationally, thus the need for a proxy agent within Japan that they will ship to.

    If they do Grace's in a proper olive-brownish-green, I'll likely have to buy it...
