    That's my hope----that the movies will make really neat/worthwhile armor set. Sigh---a valk designed with a replaceable weapons module---and they don't even fight in battroid mode in this series, much less try different weapons.

    I was very wrong for years. But I was also very young then. I know better now. Murcielago though----even those who KNOW still seem to get it wrong. Also----the "Hurricane".

    The fold crystals seem to pop up on a hinge---head clearance?
  4. David Hingtgen
    Yup. They're all like that.

    Plus---Bandai does tend to tweak each release. Look at the YF-29. The second one may be too early to get any improvements, but the third release should.
  6. David Hingtgen
    Yes, but even brand-new F-15 molds, aren't licensed. That's the interesting thing.

    ???? Everything I've read said it's not mis-transformed. There's a lot of hope that it is, but analysis of the parts/hinges, and mostly importantly, Peaugh, who's handled it, says that's the way it is.

    Movie Jetfire is licensed by Lockheed.

    Which is ironic, as altering the headlights and tailights is usually sufficient to AVOID the need to license a vehicle mode. RiD/2000 almost got away with Sideburn in the US. And of course, I've yet to see any F-15 TF be licensed, yet the F-22's are...

    I'm ok with Messer being next--the more -31's as a whole they sell, the lower the demand for each successive one---thus easier for me to get Mirage's.

    Sigh. Yes. . (To be fair, there's several official figs in the pics above)

    Titans Return Triggerhappy: He rocks. But the factory put his wing insignias on sideways. (they're aligned with the wing's trailing edge---which is against common sense/aesthetics, and against the box art and factory artwork diagrams) It's a fairly common issue, even some MP figures have "insignias aligned with the wrong edge". But with Triggerhappy's wings having a 45-degree sweep, they're REALLY off.

    Says who?
  14. David Hingtgen
    Ok, need to check *everywhere* today it seems.
  15. David Hingtgen
    F-104, Erusea, Osea, from the team behind AC5 and AC:Zero. And we all know what Erusea means:

    Anyone heard of Revan somewhere besides Gamestop? That's every sighting I know of in the US.

    Viggen simulator? Where's my SR-71 intercept mission? (though, actually need JA-37 for that)
  18. David Hingtgen
    I liked Cars 1 a LOT. I hated Cars 2.

    The Triggerhappy/HotRod wave is out----but I haven't even seen a sample pic of the Takara versions. There's not morally that much of a gap. I'm a HUGE Truggerhappy fan, and the mold is great----but Hasbro of course used tons of that awful milky warm grey plastic. I need to see what Takara's version looks like.

    Fine, just 100x more likely to be difficult to do, and not last long once done.
  21. David Hingtgen
    The V8 should be easy to do. The rest----maybe thin trim lines in the center, like this: Again----would be quick/easy, minimalist. Easy to re-do if mistakes are made, or touch-ups needed later.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Ack, didn't see the "reboot" note. (Though I have to ask---why?)
  23. David Hingtgen
    Got raised lettering/striping? Use a paint marker. Works amazingly well. Painting "areas" usually requires a ton of prep work on covers and are best left to pros or those who don't mind hours of sanding and prepping.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Most 3P samples for reviewers don't include instructions, and are often not 100% tweaked tolerance/fit-wise yet, so it's easy to miss a step and not want to risk breaking something by experimenting. Especially when you have to pass it on to the next reviewer. Better to miss a step and post a follow up, then break it in half on-camera.

    Wait wait. They switched from Katy Perry to Demi Lovato? Are they just cycling through singers, paying no heed to consistency? ::edit:: Yeesh, almost all those voices are new. They recast the entire species.
