    Exactly---they can't say "no VW's visible at all in any footage"---but they can definitely say "no making toys of our design". Think how many movies show an airplane taking off----yet aren't licensed by Boeing...

    Possibly stupid question, but it keeps bugging me: What is Jehuty Anubis, or Jehuty ver. Anubis etc? I've played both games and seen most all the anime. There's Jehuty, and there's Anubis, but they're 2 very different frames. But 90% of the merchandise lately seems to be "Jehuty Anubis"----why/what?

    Yoshinol.

    Did we ever really get a look at Trypticon in station mode? (external/overall) I wonder if the transformation is at all feasible/plausible. (heh, he actually seems smaller in bot mode, which is kinda rare for a TF)

    I've been playing just the opening 5 mins of the demo, to try out various "tweaks" to my Shepard(s). They changed the hair colors---as in, even if you directly import/copy, the color may be very different. All the reds are much redder/brighter now, really messes with my paragon Shep's look. Eye colors are different too, IMHO. Blues are still blue, etc, but just about every option looks different than it used to. (this happened in ME1 to ME2 as well, but to a lesser degree) So I'm spending time now to figure out how I want things, rather than on launch day when I'd rather be actually playing. Also---Kotobukiya Bishoujo Fem-Shep! http://www.bigbadtoy...ail&picture=out Unlike their Liara statue, it'll be hard to argue that the face is wrong...

    Forget Fort Max, where's Trypticon?

    Does it light-up uninstalled? As in, does everything work fine right up until "that last step of sealing it inside" or has it never lit up in the first place?

    20 ish hours for a good run in ME1. Good as in, doing most things, but not everything. ME2 can vary a lot depending on if you go for upgrades and loyalty missions, but it is definitely longer. But ME1 has MUCH better plot IMHO, and actually sets the stage for ME3 far more than ME2 did. Plot-wise, ME2 is darn-near a side-story IMHO. It's the collectors, not the reapers.

    F-22, doing, well, F-22 stuff: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ee3_1329082051

    Googling pics, it looks like they're the same shade of grey as the engine nozzles. So go see what matches.

    And I just got done painting all the missing bits etc on my green -27....

    That was my thought---last ditch effort to take down as many people with him as he could----thus, they immediately sliced the arms off to prevent that scenario.

    From the multiple Bulkhead toys the past few years, we know Hasbro knows how to make very bulky bots with intricate transformations, so that doesn't explain FoC Bruticus.

    If they'd only tweak it and make a flightsuit Grace version.... (hey, that body looks more like Grace's than Sheryl's IMHO)

    Slightly OT question----in the first pic, the two big obvious screws----how tight should they be, as in, from the factory? My VF-1S seems to be quite loose there, as in the shoulder can kinda flop around 1-2mm in every direction with no resistance there in battroid mode. I honestly can't remember if that's how it was, or only after I replaced my hinges (official Yamato ones from Graham). I'd have to tighten them WAY more to "hold them down" I think but then it'd also be much harder to lift-n-swing the hinges out 180 degrees to transform. I tightened them down some more recently, but it seemed to have little/no effect. I don't really want to try to "tighten as much as I possibly can" for fear of damaging them. It's just something I don't ever recall see being mentioned about the v2. In short: In battroid mode, is the hinge itself supposed to kinda flop around? Just a small amount, but easily? The arm/shoulder armor is nice and stiff on the balljoint, and the metal pin joint is good, but the hinge assembly itself moves around freely at that screw/plastic ring.

    Bandai also got his approval for the v1 DX VF-25. And Yamato got his approval for "Shin's" low-vis VF-0, except for the one that really was Shin's soon thereafter. Anyways---I do think the black markings are correct/likely. It's VERY similar to the "skunk stripe" pattern many F-14's have. And we all know how people (even the animators) love to have F-14-based markings on their VF-1's. Roy's valk wouldn't look like it does without the Jolly Rogers...
  18. David Hingtgen
    I'd buy the VF-11 in that scheme. Seriously---was Yamato so burned by the VF-11 they won't even do repaints? I'm betting even the most complex repaint is cheaper than the cheapest new molding of a head or something.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Most every transforming toy will have identical pins and hinges----practice on one of those first, THEN attempt a pin-removal on an expensive out-of-production valk. Any Transformer™ will do fine for practice. Personally I sacrificed a BM Silverbolt to learn pin-removal.

    I believe it's supposed to be the Missouri. (I'd have used the Kentucky, as it was actually built but not finished---would have worked very well in an alternate history) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Kentucky_(BB-66)

    Seems FoC Bruticus is doing the "any limb can be any position" thing. THAT right there is a massive fail IMHO. Would explain a lot, too. If they were "dedicated", they'd probaby be better. IMHO.

    Please re-release Milia's 1J with a baby pod, just so I can get her 1J...

    Just saw the "roaring head" 6in classic Lion-O. I think I may actually prefer that sculpt. Did they change the plastic the sword's made of? Looked a lot less bendy in-package. (also, several 6in Cheetaras---she still HTF?)
  24. David Hingtgen
    Diecast feet!

    Could it be any more pink? I mean, most people would at least have left the TIRES black or something...
