    As I said----it's the Zoid's face. The head is always the most-critiqued feature that can make or break any figure, from a Sheryl statue to a Gundam.

    While I would like a -19F to tide me over until I can get a YF-19 v3, I still passed this time. I think I need it to be down to like $125 or something... (or a better paint scheme---the white stripes are better than the -19S's, but I still just don't like the deep blue that much) (Of course, what I *really* want is a VFX-scheme VF-11--or Milia's)

    Psycho Geno Saurer! http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYZD75 Never in a million years did I expect this to actually be made in any form. So bought. I don't recall it having extra missile(?) pods on the legs though. ::edit:: Seems it did. Still, it seems there's always SOMETHING that Koto does in their interpretations of Zoids that I don't like, and on this one it's the twin cannons on top of the head--I can't help but think they look like nostrils or something. They're way bigger and more prominent/bulging than in the animation. They should be like small ports, not big muzzles... (really, the "face" is very important, and it may be a deal-killer for me)

    You just gotta squeeze them harder to get more out of them.

    Hey hey, it was probably nanotech-infused ice, normal laws of physics don't apply.

    Anyone know what the big character chart is showing? I mean, having Isamu and Sara paired together just doesn't make any sense at all. And Basara NOT with Mylene? Also---background of this link: http://b.bngi-channel.jp/macross30/character/character_10.html Very APHOS-esque.

    I would assume it works like any aircraft control with a lock on it---you cannot move it fully from one extreme to the other, without also lifting/pressing another latch to permit full movement. This is usually incorporated on the flap handle (and thrust reverser lever), to prevent accidently choosing fully extended or fully retracted from the opposite condition. So on a valk, I'd assume it naturally "stops" at GERWALK mode, and you can't go all the way fighter-battroid (or vice-versa) unless you "press the button" to allow moving it all the way from one side to the other. (and thus simply moving the throttle without pressing the button would make it automatically stop at 45 degrees, so you don't have to worry about "hitting the mark" in the heat of battle) I know on the F-16, you cannot simply "slam the throttles" all the way forward to full afterburner---it will stop at full non-burner. You have to rotate the throttles up/out a bit to get them over the stop. (learned that from the time I got a few mins of F-16 sim)

    That's what I assumed/hoped as well.

    On that note, I've now been looking for a v2 Alto for one year. I wanted one for Christmas---LAST Christmas. And it had just come out in Oct I think, and I started looking in Nov. Now it's Dec, 13 months later...

    Sad that a joke like that is probably less geeky than the "real' explanation.

    He uses shears. (I figure if anyone will get that, you will)
  12. David Hingtgen
    Dang, that's awesome.

    I wish this board had reputation points so I could give you some.

    I saw Malak several times. But Revan and Bastila? They may as well be convention exclusives. (and how anyone approved Malak's headsculpt is beyond me--the jaw is worse than Trap-Jaw from He-Man---it's 3x larger than it should be, and should NOT be a separate piece--makes the character look ridiculous)
  15. David Hingtgen
    This is why I would pretty much only ever build this as Hikaru's TV 1J, and hope there's room for the wings to move easily inside the gloves.
  16. David Hingtgen
    'tis what it says. The SW-XA-1. (I prefer the SW-XA-2, myself) One of Kawamori's not-quite-canon designs.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Despite being a huge KOTOR fan, I never saw Revan, nor did any of the people who helped me look. But I never even saw Bastila's wave/case. (I haven't bought an SW figure in years, but I would buy KOTOR ones if I ever found one)
  18. David Hingtgen
    One of the "unaltered" lines there was one of the ones I didn't understand AT ALL in the theaters--should have re-done them all IMHO.

    That YF-29 looks more like Alto's, than Alto's does. ::edit:: Or apparently, it's a VF-29B. Man they got those into production fast...

    She was unquestionably the best part of GI Joe: Rise of Cobra.

    Milia's VF-1J? Awesome. Pink YF-19? Maybe awesome. Grace sighting? Awesome. VF-27 in game? Awesome. Please oh please oh please let Grace be an unlockable VF-27 pilot...
  22. David Hingtgen
    Bigger than I thought. Might snag it if HLJ gets more in. (Since bandai still doesn't want my money for a v2 Alto.)
  23. David Hingtgen
    Possibly the best part of the movie, sadly. Or not?

    Considering how different the enterprise looks from all the other classes in that universe, I can't imagine there'd be another class similar enough to be confused with it. Certainly not for the coming out of the water scene. MAYBE for crashing into it. BTW was it ever said the new one is Constitution class?

    How big is a GFF Unicorn? (And do the armor panels hold tight when they're closed, or do they get sloppy over time?)
