  1. Someday, someone will make a combining voltron toy where the waist of green and red lion are NOT garishly obviously giant hinges. And where red lion isn't 3 cubes stuck together. (no, red lion is not my fave lion, at all---but it does seem to look the least accurate most often and is IMHO a good one to judge the group as a whole on)
  2. I do not like the proportions on that Gouf Custom. Especially the shield/weapons. All too short/stocky.
  3. Especially that last point. If a mod (or two) says stop---STOP.
  4. Note, it has the commander-type head. They kinda retconned non-Commander types to have the other head (which only exists in 1/72, not 1/60) So it's not really a normal type despite the box label--it is a green, commander-type. Which so far, only Grace has piloted. (screen evidence notwithstanding, because they didn't make a new CGI head model for 5 secs of background shots for the other 2 green ones)
  5. Plus there's a lot fewer schemes, variants, and screen time.
  6. Yes, but it was also Grace's, and was marketed/labled as such.
  7. I think I've seen a 7-year thread revival here....
  8. The missing super packs were the last ep. But ep 7 has all the "good" shots of the CF.
  9. Yes, the cape needs to be part-swapping. But everything else works. Little different from swapping hands on a valk.
  10. Why on Earth is communism and/or Chinese politics being discussed here? Not another word, not even in response to this post, or get banned.
  11. Yes, just like there's a lot of anime Magic in the -19 valkyries--and Yamato keeps getting closer and closer with them. They should try the Escaflowne again.
  12. Because we all know how much Yamato has improved over the years. A nice new transforming Escaflowne could be the centerpiece of a collection.
  13. The "little giant" pilot ability is a HUGE boost for fighting mobile armors. It's not like a 10-20% bonus. It builds up the bar like 4 or 5 times faster I think.
  14. VF-X scheme done on the new kit---now I want Yamato to do it even more: http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2011/07/vf-11b-thunderbolt-macross-plus-hobby.html
  15. What do people do to their valks that they need any sort of "cleaner" (alcohol etc) at all? Mine never have anything more than common household dust, which is easily removed with nothing more than a small brush, or water if really needed.
  16. Yeah, I know GI Joe doesn't perfectly follow the real military, but the custom markings for the pilots should go on the nose, not the tail. IMHO, don't replace the tail stickers---add them to the nose. That's how it's been done since the early days. PS--the Skystriker has always had its weaponry layout wrong. Basically--put nothing where Hasbro says, and you'll be correct.
  17. I'll post this again, made it myself, accurate to a pixel----an F-22 and Peterbilt 379 to scale. So Starscream should be absolutely MASSIVE next to Prime in bot mode.
  18. Seconding Camaro5.com For the last gen, CamaroZ28.com (aka CamaroSS.com) was the place, but Camaro5 definitely eclipsed them.
  19. IMHO no SRT Dodge is worth it. They are a LOT more money for a BIT more speed. As opposed to base vs RT, where you get a HUGE boost in speed for the money, often for less than the price difference between RT and SRT.
  20. Wrong shade of yellow. I wouldn't spend a dime extra for a "Transformers edition" Camaro that's not even CLOSE to the right shade. I can understand if they don't want to EXACTLY match the color---but they don't offer anything at all right. Metallic dusky-orangey-gold pearl vs gloss bright canary yellow=not the same. Buy a base model in pure white (yes, white) then get it custom painted. You'll end up with something that looks a LOT more like the 07 movie, for less.
  21. I think that officially, BB's throat was injured again between 07 and ROTF. :sarcasm: What a coincidence :sarcasm: I like to think that it works a lot better plot-wise, if he just had kind of a "temporary fix" due to direct exposure to the Allspark and it was gone by the next day.
