    Hmmn. I don't see leg armor, unless they made it green. Could just be the original on display to look cool, not indicative of a new version/rerelease. (Like the Ozma 29 there too)The coloring reminds me of the sample/prototype Grace DX, so it's likely it's the EXACT same one.

    Want *pilotsuit* Aila.

    Exactly. That kind of money should buy a nearly hot-spot-free lighting system. That looks little better than using Christmas lights inside... Also, if EVER a kit could use some "RG-style subtle plastic shade variations"---it's that. Really, it's ALL PURE WHITE? Not a single sprue of slightly off-white? (or 3-4 shades, like the statue-style RX-78) Yes, having the "grey" of the RX-78 would look off/wrong, but as Bandai does have and use multiple shades of "pure white"---surely they could have used some of them here. (there's green-white, yellow-white, and purple-white that I know of) Alto's VF-25F kit is purple white, the MG 1.0 Zeta is green-white.

    There's definitely some diecast, you can easily tell in the unpainted pics. Black=plastic, silver=diecast. Feet and barrel for sure.

    DA:Inquisition is going to be awesome (and very long/huge by all reports). Lots of stuff to prep for though: EA origin account linked up with gamer tag(s)? Check. Go to DA Keep site and link up history/achievements of past DA games from old Bioware account? Check. Play quest minigame at DA main site to get more freebie DLC weapons? Check. PS4 Deluxe edition pre-ordered? Check. Now just have to buy a PS4. PS---DA quest minigame is here: http://quest.dragonage.com/en-us/ Final segment only seems to work with Chrome though. But you get free weapons not attainable anywhere else. (two swords and a staff IIRC)

    He'd be #1 if he only had a head. (Sad that many of the otherwise-awesome GoBots had no head---like Staks) And Tux is the best GoBot, because he wears a top-hat. (on his HEAD, because he has one)

    VF-25? No it's not. Bandai seems dead-set AGAINST making money from it (especially the Ozma one), by making as few as possible with years between reissues.

    I believe the best hope is long term---the comet is still heading towards the sun, and the amount of sunlight the probe gets will slowly but steadily grow. It may be enough at some point in the future to provide power.

    I'm also in the "doubting it" category, but even if they do make it, it won't matter----they'll make like 400, which will sell out in 0.26 secs, and then they'll wait another 3+ years before re-releasing Roy colors...

    Dive-Dive. I mean c'mon, ballistic missile submarine. Most powerful (read:destructive firepower) alt-mode ever. And something never done in a TF (AFAIK).
  12. David Hingtgen
    Reminds me of that time I found an oatmeal box full of GoBots...
  13. David Hingtgen
    Gotta agree with that. It helps hide the actual shape of the car. Manufacturers, take note---THIS is how to paint a car, if you want to confuse spy-shots etc. Black and white checkerboard-patterns don't work...
  14. David Hingtgen
    Yup, go look at the jet-modes of the Go-Bot jets. Many still are among the sleekest, least-robot-kibbled transforming jets ever. They clearly went for jet-mode over bot-mode. (for the better, in many cases). Can't remember his name, but I dearly loved the orange MiG-21 guy. (as I think he was about the only MiG I had as a child---you could buy a zillion small Matchbox/Dynaflite F-14/15/16's etc, but "badguy" planes were very rare) And yeesh---the G1 Fireflight had 100% retracting, hidden arms in jet mode. And hey, they were even ball-jointed back then! They went backwards. "uh, just stick them on the sides, yeah, nobody'll see them..."

    Does he have places where MP Laserbeak can perch? That ridge on his forearm kinda looks like MP Soundwave's.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Fixed
  17. David Hingtgen
    So---worth renting on Vudu?
  18. David Hingtgen
    *except the YF-23.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Umm, you just kinda proved our point. (Since Hiro's aunt is just a re-hashed Elsa---imagine how good the original is)

    Now, Yamato had about the best "paint to plastic" color-matching I've ever seen in anything, so here's hoping that Arcadia can match the VF-0D's plastic equally well to that paint, if that's their intended color.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Those pics, yes. But I've yet to see a production Yamato/Arcadia valk exactly match the sample pics. We never know exactly how it'll look until someone actually owns one.
  22. David Hingtgen
    It's exactly as grey as the "real" thing. And was the primary issue with the previous tests----too saturated, not enough grey. More than any hue or brightness change, it needed to be greyer to match the show. It's like saying the YF-19 is an ugly shade of sandy-beige---yes, it may be----but that's what color it is!
  23. David Hingtgen
    I don't think I've ever seen that before. Can it hold it with the gunpod attached?
  24. David Hingtgen
    There is nothing to attach the adapter to. The v1 VF-27 needs something like the YF-19 fighter-mode adapter---a large clip to attach to/surround the fuselage itself. The v1 VF-27 has no parts included at all to attach to----but much like all the other Frontier valks, there are slots in the bottom of the forward fuselage where the diecast hip-bars clip into in fighter mode. But Bandai never made a bracket/clip to use them, and the VF-25's etc doesn't fit. The v1 VF-27's come with the valk and gunpod, but nothing else---no stand, no adapter, no bracket. But they've got mostly "similar" holes/slots as to the -25, so something could surely be done, much like the YF-19 clip, or a modified version of Bandai's own VF-25 fighter-mode adapter.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Still could use a non-renewal VF-27 adapter. There is no way to put it on ANY stand, as-is.
