  1. They've gotta be on ball-joints, as they're all parallel in fighter mode. Adjust to suit.
  2. Started out good, but went on way too long. And the whole singing bit was just inane. Just show the first 15 secs, and it's a great commercial.
  3. Piratical! (a small nitpick---really should have had black tailfins, instead of being the same grey as everything else----the black stripe on the fin is insufficient)
  4. And it's more than just her looks---she's even playing Grace's role/acting like her.
  5. Thank you, I kept thinking "surely SOMEONE else must see this, and it's not just me being biased towards Grace". First we get Kirara-Ranka, now we have Blonde Grace...
  6. Robots with capes/cloaks/shrouds are cool, but that's crossing the line into "robot wearing clothes" which is just inherently wrong IMHO.
  7. Is that with the wings fully forward? Because the kite-logo is quite crooked... (I'd assume that's some weird "80% forward" position, based on the gap at the root and the panel-lines for the flaperons etc) But why use such an odd wing position to "show off" how it looks?
  8. While blue Bluestreak is an obvious choice---"G1 main release all-silver" is just as likely, though probably lower in fan-demand.
  9. No. These markings are aft of that, and not any sort of recess/intake. They are merely "markings" like the black wing stripes. They are grey, and a sort of elongated-Z shape. Just look at the Hase kit or the 1/60 Yamato.
  10. THAT looks good. Overall color-wise, tampo-wise. Cockpit's too dark though. (and feet etc are still a tad too purple, but not TOO bad) And still missing the grey markings on the upper intakes. (seriously, just look at the 1/60 Yamato, they're right there, and the outline's even molded-in on the new Arcadia one---just paint between the lines!)
  11. Darn. I've already heard the Leon-Grace one. True that Ozma-Grace makes no sense.
  12. Totsugeki Love Heart by GRACE? (would have preferred Holy Lonely Light, as it's THE best M7 song, but this'll do)
  13. I'm pretty sure the magazine pics/behind the scenes stuff of Rogue in X3, had more exposure than her actual film appearance in X3. True--what a waste.
  14. Starshipmodeler often has a few hidden gems. I got my Hase YF-19 there. http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm Gundamstoreandmore.com Imageanime.com
  15. That's a great example of the VF-0D's color. It's a kinda dull grey-blue, not "BLUE!".
  16. Well, tripling the price of something does tend to make people question the value of authentic vs KO. Takara's re-release price is so inflated, that the *cheaper KO* still costs more than the original US release!
  17. And even up to the finished film, it could still be wrong. The tank in the 07 movie is Brawl, (according to everything from toys to games) but the actual subtitle in the film says Devastator. So it could still be "wrong" that way.
  18. Ok then---no UN SPACY markings? Fail. (and one side needs them to be upside-down!)
  19. Dang. I remember seeing the Wing Zero at Toys R Us, but never bought it as I had the PG kit. I did buy the Arch Enemy Tallgeese III though. (and it's for sale!) The Arch Enemy figures are very nice, I'd still say among the best mecha figures ever to be mass-released in the US.
  20. Based on what's been shown at the UK ToyFair this week, some stuff seems 99% confirmed, and some stuff seems "likely, as there probably isn't much mis-information going on at that place". So, we now know (probably) that: The Lamborghini Aventador is And the fan-rage-inducing (once it becomes more widely known) identity of the grey cabover truck is the evil Decepticon Months ago the producers said people wouldn't be happy when it was revealed---and boy were they right! (of course, that brings up the point---if you know your target audience won't like it that far in advance---why do it in the first place? With how little most Bayformers resemble their G1 namesakes, why even use the names at all? Either use more appropriate ones, or make up new ones.) If the "new" Star Trek movies had "Kirk, the evil Klingon doctor"-----a lot of fans wouldn't take that well. This isn't quite to that level, but it IS really, really messing with an established, iconic character. Or maybe they'll pull a reverse Sentinel Prime with him. But that'd seem even worse somehow, frankly lazy/cheap, since we just saw it in the last movie.
