    The legs and weapon pod don't seem to peg together in fighter mode, that's worrying. Arms are identical to the VF-25-----already look loose, will be very floppy after a bit. Weapon pod seems to be pure friction, nothing pegged or locked into the open/raised mode. I think it may be even worse than the arms after time----a big floppy pile of parts never really holding in position. Honestly, seems like they've learned nothing over the past few years and have made zero improvements. Every issue the -25 has or develops, the -31 looks to be prone to get as well.

    A Trypticon that size would be so much cooler.

    I guess it'll be DSC, because DIS already means Disney, when it comes to entertainment.

    IIRC, the F-14 was the poster child for the "if you keep if flying, it works, if you let it sit, it'll break" theory, regarding the hydraulics. I think that frequent use kept the seals moist. But if it sat, they'd dry out and shrink, and you'd get leaks all over the place.

    Tailcode for the Sundowners but not Wolfpack?
  6. David Hingtgen
    Exactly. All-metal at least resembles some real-world landing gear. (White is more of a US thing). But half and half? Looks like a mistake.

    Macross figures

    No Mirage? No buy.

    A whole lot less man-hours to flight-hours than the F-14 needs.

    And regardless of one's opinion of the Ent-D, NOBODY thought it looked like a Klingon ship.

    Very much agree, ESPECIALLY with the spoilered part. If Elba had a bit more "meat to work with" (and less makeup to deal with) we could have gotten one of the all-time great Trek villians I feel.
  11. David Hingtgen
    Ah, I thought you meant an external difference. Just keep the hatches closed, and it's correct.

    I thought the ending was dragged out, that it should have been rolling the credits 20 mins earlier.
  13. David Hingtgen
    I was about to post that, after realizing it last night. TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9---and now, Star Trek: Discovery.
  14. David Hingtgen
    This is a difference I'm unaware of, explain please. Also--the canards actually ARE different, it's not just the striping pattern making them look that way?
  15. David Hingtgen
    I've gotta say---they're not using the increased size to increase the detail/"realness" at all. It simply looks like a large Yamato V.2 or something. As in, a 1/20 fighter jet should have much more refined leading edges, intake lips, wing-sweep gloves/gaps, etc. But I'm not seeing any of that there. Everything is "blunt" and unrefined. (and I'm not taking panel lines etc that'll be added later, I'm talking shapes/design)

    Still waiting/hoping for a 31A.
  17. David Hingtgen
    "Man-at-arms".

    Ok, they can squat. But they really didn't do anything to improve the shape/proportions of the lion, or Voltron himself much for that matter. It's still homaging/based off the original toy too much, and not the show.

    I don't own that version of the mold, but I've *tried* to disassemble enough Frontier valks to confirm that yes, sadly, they are often held together more with glue than with screws. And it's a very good glue, that can rip the plastic apart before it'll let the seam go.

    MP Seekers will all stand a lot better/easier if the tailhook fairing was removed, like on the real thing. It's sad at the number of ways I've seen them try to get around it, ignoring what the real thing did, which is the easiest option of "snipping off the part causing a problem".
  22. David Hingtgen
    I'm not seeing many new seeker molds. A whole lot of KO's of the MP molds, both tweaked and 100% copies, but almost no "new from scratch F-15 molds". Just "Howling Meteor" and that's only a silhouette, and based on the shilhouette I have my doubts as to it being an actual F-15.

    I see Tallgeese as more like this:
  24. David Hingtgen
    That too----I still can't quite figure out what the proportion issue IS, but it does look wrong to me. Simply literally not tall enough?
  25. David Hingtgen
    On that note, I'm thinking about picking up the MG Tallgeese. But I'd have to paint the entire thing, which to me kinda negates half the point/fun of a Gundam kit. (because I demand TV colors---Tallgeese didn't have white boosters and yellow accents all over, nor was there any navy). The many TV-colors repaints look awesome, but makes for much more work. Tallgeese, vs Tallgoose: I'm kinda deciding between MG Tallgeese, Wing Zero Proto, and Epyon. Leaning towards Epyon.
