    Based on that deleted scene list, they cut out like half of Maria Hill's screen time.

    According to Robot Kingdom, MP-12/Lambor/Sideswipe is ¥6800.

    I currently own nothing, but plan to buy Super Ion. (especially since my budget for 2012 from Hasbro is basically zero---I'm getting JP-release Sideswipe from Takara, but that'll be it I think for official stuff---since FOC Bruticus sucks and sucks hard, and Prime Knockout is simply painted WRONG)

    Still a lot better than not mentioning them at all. And Shin and I already have a heck of an opinion---it's a transforming F-4 Phantom toy! That alone is worth buying. Being part of a gestalt is just gravy.
  5. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I'll just re-post the ones that were discussed in the main all-encompassing TF thread. Makes me glad I passed on Hercules---I can spend the money on this.

    An elven version of Ignis? (or has she always had ears like that and I somehow never knew?)

    I really don't think we need a *dedicated* 3rd-party TF thread. All previous 3rd-party discussion has been in the main thread. PS---all those pics, and none of the upcoming Not-Fireflight from Super Ion? Of all items, I'd think that the transforming jet would appeal most to the Macross fans here...

    Phantom Menace.

    Exactly. It sounded awful from the concept. It looked awful from the first pics. People were pretty sure it'd be awful from the teaser, and it was confirmed awful from the full trailer. Avengers has little to do with it. It could have gone up against a re-release of The Land Before Time III, and not done any better. Whereas Prometheus just looks better and better with each bit that comes out. It went from "gonna see it" to "gotta see it" to "must be there at midnight showing at all costs".

    I already said I won't buy it solely because of the (lack of) paint scheme. That count?

    I was about to link to the main DX YF-29 thread, but as it appears to have been closed with no new thread created, there is no more appropriate thread for the DX -29 at the moment---my mistake, and I apologize. (my issue with it wasn't prices/availability, but that this thread was created as a mold comparison etc thread, not a general DX -29 thread--but again, since the "main" one is effectively gone, this'll have to do)
  12. David Hingtgen
    When did this become a "where to buy" thread?
  13. David Hingtgen
    I still want a KOS-MOS that's *not* V.4. V.4 is ugly/ridiculous IMHO, yet it's got 95% of the merchandise.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Sure, just give me 9 months. I'll add in some new options, too, based on early feedback.

    OMG, I actually started reading a few of the comments after the AICN article. It's worse than youtube. I mean, they're not even complete PHRASES, much less sentences... PS---I am very tempted to re-set this thread's poll and allow everyone to vote again.

    I have Rogue, but I swear every one afterwards has a worse face. Especially didn't like Phoenix or Liara. (and would have bought both if not for the face)

    How many radars can you stick onto an airliner to make an ELINT platform? I think Russia's trying to find out: http://russianplanes.net/id77910

    The longer the nose, the worse battroid looks. Can't have both.

    Little blurb I just read: SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS---director Josh Trank is in talks with Sony Pictures to develop a movie based on the video game. It's nothing without the music. They need the original composer, period. Of course, considering that entire game was basically a silent narrative of exploration, Hollywood wouldn't allow it to be like that, so it'll share nothing of the original's feel/spirit.
  20. David Hingtgen
    At least they have good taste in which songs they do. Big points for doing "Heart and Soul".
  21. David Hingtgen
    That reminds me---where's my Figma/Revoltech Weltall?!?!?! (though Id's would probably sell better---gotta admit it looks cooler) Due to Fei's fighting style, few "giant mecha" could utilize the extreme posability better.
  22. David Hingtgen
    You mean, the re-release of Ric Olie isn't selling any better than the original? (I still remember just how badly he peg-warmed back then)
  23. David Hingtgen
    If you don't have a hard copy already, what are you waiting for? Best soundtrack ever. (for the best game ever). I'll just post this here:
  24. David Hingtgen
    While they're making G's, they could be nice and pop out some more F's and S's...

    ::squee:: (I'm a *huge* Sideswipe fan) Yup, they've already got the hole molded in for the lights for Red Alert. I've thought this since the first drawing, but does anyone else think the overall transformation is awfully "simple" for a Masterpiece, and not all that toon-accurate? The whole bottom half is about the same level/design as the Universe version. Not sure if I like the rear bumper as ankle-guards. Anyways, a big part of it will be how it's painted--will it match the G1 toy, and be almost pure red, or will it match the actual Countach that Sideswipe is directly modeled after, and have lots of black accents? (MP-12 is clearly that exact particular Countach, and the G1 markings/stickers and some of the details point to it as well. Not sure if I posted this before in THIS forum, but G1 Sideswipe is based off a particular custom Countach that is very popular/famous in Japan. Plus several recent high-end diecast models of this Countach have re-invigorated its popularity, especially once again, in Japan---I'd bet a lot of money that someone at Takara bought one of the new models that Kyosho put out of this car, and used it as a reference--not a bad thing, as it's a very accurate model) http://www.lmpcars.c...untach-lp400-3/ If the G1 toy had a bigger budget, it would likely have either been molded or painted with the same black fender arches, etc.
