    They're two different things. However they have nigh-identical sculpts, so they look the same in pics. The diecast one isn't out yet, and is smaller.
  2. David Hingtgen
    Just like the VF-31 never fights in battroid either. Perfectly matched, those two are...
  3. David Hingtgen
    Mirage's unique coloring was one of the few good aspects. (Plus, my flightsuit Mirage figure just arrived---and her valk should match it).

    In the (presumably) professionally lot and taken photos, it still looks awfully reddish. I note that the molded plastic parts are darker and more purple than the paint---not as good a match as Bandai did for Hayate's. The plastic parts look about the right color. But there's SO much paint on the Delta valks, there's more paint than raw plastic. And since the paint is a bit off....

    But it simply shouldn't be "so close to red that it only looks sorta ok in some lighting". This is not anywhere near pure red: Surely the Japanese fans are commenting on the color???
  6. David Hingtgen
    All the more reason to wait for a white Roid version.
  7. David Hingtgen
    The model kit's color may not be perfect, but it's a WHOLE lot closer than the DX looks so far. Heck, even the TakaraTomy 1/144 is better.
  8. David Hingtgen
    That's what makes it awesome.
  9. David Hingtgen
    That version was wrong, the new pics are even more wrong. They're making it redder, when they should be making it more purple. Or again---yeesh, just match their own model kit!

    If the F-35 had been cancelled, we could have afforded more F-22's or a butt-load of Super Hornets... Or, just replace all the Block 30 F-16's with Block 60's... Or even better---replace the F-15E with F-16XL's...

    The renewal green VF-27 is a completely different green than the original, and completely wrong. It's the main reason I never bought the newer one---mine is much closer to show-colors.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Sure hope that's not the final colors. Not TOO worried yet, but will keep an eye on it. I mean, really, how could it NOT match the kit colors?
  13. David Hingtgen
    In stock to order at HLJ this minute...

    The Bandai Advance VF-19 still seems to keep going up---is it having any effect on the Arcadia YF-19's price? Thinking of selling my Arcadia, but if all anyone wants is the Advance version, maybe I'll hold on for a while.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I have the exact opposite opinion. ('cuz I want this in live-action on the big screen): Note: I saw this "live" when it aired, and thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'm happy it became a meme all these years later.
  16. David Hingtgen
    YF-19 is like that too IIRC.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Probably both, but mostly the former. "Didn't give it enough time to sit/cool/cure" is the cause of a LOT of issues for figures---warped parts, stuck joints, peeling paint. Sometime another 10 secs to let something fully harden would do amazing things for quality.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Top one.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, it seemed to last about 36 hours before it went down. Let's try another source:

    You should be able to put 12 on a Super Hornet, but I couldn't find any pics showing it's been done.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Second that---I may like the C even more than the D, and would love an Arcadia one. (that, or Shin's D in the proper shade of blue)
  22. David Hingtgen
    Parts list available? There's not a zillion but it would be nice to be able to see what I'd need. PS---my vote for the chest guns is also 3938.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Well, more like the super-wide body makes the legs very far apart. He's like as wide as he is long (ignoring neck and tail---just the body). Looks odd to me. I mean, all Sludges look like that to some degree, but this is too much.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Have seen many say it's the 3P figure of the year/ever. If I wasn't so picky about Dinobot dino-modes, I'd have picked it up already. (Too wide).
  25. David Hingtgen
    Did the neck-replacement mod on TFC not-Snaptrap. Not as bad as I feared getting it in, but removing the old one was a pain. A minor difference, but every millimeter helps. Wish the new neck-hinge wasn't light pink though, makes the "floating head" effect stand out more---the original was solid green. Deep pink or dark grey would have been best--darker and blend in.
