I wasn't all that enthralled with Zootopia, and rank Nemo in the lower half of Pixar. Will see how Dory is.

Thankfully it seems almost all the potty humor is gone after the first hour.

A7--oh come on, you can't just knock out a Zeta Plus A1 over the weekend, when I've spent a week on the wing leading edges alone!

::googles Kairos:: It fits the theme, with Elysion etc. Also, not being FSW, it should have a less sword-themed name. (I know, Siegfried's not a sword----but he's a very famous swordsman)

Oh hey, protip for the non-light-up display stand: See how it has a rectangular top? You'll likely have a choice of two parts to install into the belly. And you do NOT want the one with a rectangular hole in it, when using the non-lit stand. Trust me on this. You want the "blank" belly-piece, and drill out the holes from the backside. Of course, the banking adapter looks to be quite different, so all that may change.

Bandai Gobots/Machine Robo Series Toy Thread
David Hingtgen replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think Cop-Tur is out, sadly. They can only do characters from the Japanese show. These are very much "toys of the Japanese SHOW CHARACTERS", not new versions of the toys from Tonka/GoBots. There's a difference. And that means a lot of the "prominent in the US" characters, are not available. Anyone know if any of the ships were on the Japanese anime? I so want Dive-Dive and Man-O-War. -
Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 11 - READ 1st POST
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Best song in the series so far---is one of Fire Bomber's, sung by kids. Basara never managed such a sad version though. -
I think the banking adapter is new, haven't seen it with any other kits in that line.
-
But they were fairly close, and not so skinny. These are too far/too skinny, looking like they're floating way far away.

I just can't get past how Daedalus and Prometheus look (not) attached to the sides in cruiser mode. That overhead pic deters me every time I think about getting it.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 11 - READ 1st POST
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Sorry, didn't see any notice about GG's delay. (I'm trying to scroll quickly, in case of spoilers). I almost wonder if the rule should be more like 24 hours after subs are out, instead of 24 hours after airing. Or like, 12 hours after subs, if people want to openly spoil as soon as possible. Thankfully people seem to still be self-censoring due to lack of subs at the moment, even though it's technically no longer required. -

Still no subs? -
Do they ever use THE Voltron theme? Even Voltron 3D used it. (Best part of that series----and Dracotron)

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
David Hingtgen replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I own it. And didn't use the faceplate stickers. It's no substitute IMHO. I've seen headmasters, so I'm ok/used to a "faced" Brainstorm. But yeah---comics Brainstorm, and the original toy---I prefer a faceplate.- 9361 replies

Saw Roy, where was Milia? Same scene? As for the comedy---yeah, with how much humor comes from the pilots, we really didn't need an additional dedicated funny-man in Coran. For toys---I pray for a good one. I REALLY like the designs, especially with how green lion has the shield integrated. Makes green and red more distinct, rather than simply "a bit rounder vs more edged" like the original. (Yellow and blue always were more unique, mainly in the heads/spines, but now they're even more so)

No, the VF-1 is the sole exception IMHO and the only one I plan to keep.

Mike---you got a GREAT deal on that Smart Robin. He was going for well above MSRP not that long ago, and to get the bonus head included----I'm envious. I want the head pretty bad, but not willing to pay half again what I did for the entire figure.- 9361 replies

Absolutely. Recent Bandai toys are 10x more "fun" to transform and swoosh around with, than recent Arcadias, in my experience. One or two more sales, and I'll be Arcadia/Yamato-free. (just waiting for a true Isamu Bandai -19)

How's the hood? I've read that in general the KO's lays flatter/lower---but my question is, does it sit further forward----my biggest issue with Track's hood isn't sitting up too high, I can reduce it 90%---but the thing is, it sits too far back ,revealing lots of silver at the front. (or, if I move it foward to close that hap, it then sits REALLY high) And does the hood snap/click into place at all? Also, the canopy (it's more than just a windshield on that mold)---does it sit down flush on top of the doors, near the front? Mine always wants to angle up a bit, and is never all the way down. It takes a TON of fiddling just to not have a huge gap around the mirrors---the side-glass never gets down to the top of the doors like it should.- 17667 replies

That's how it is in the show, so that's pretty much expected.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
David Hingtgen replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In what way? KO Tracks seems superior to real Tracks in every way. I'm kinda annoyed, to the point of considering selling my Takara to buy a KO.KO Sideswipe is the only I know of to have notable issues consistently, and only the early ones. Everything else is same "luck of the draw" as a Takara AFAIK. PS----Sideswipe's paint job (or lack of it) is still a huge sore spot for me. My fave Autobot, period, and his alt-mode is basically ruined by all sorts of paint issues---especially ironic with the much-touted "perfectly matched to official Lambo specs" color. Yet it's still very inconsistent panel to panel because it's so poorly and thinly applied.- 17667 replies

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

I didn't realize the LERX-thingy (technical term) had nearly that much movement range. -
You should offer a special SWS stand for the YF-29.

In my experience with their Super Flanker, they were remarkably well thought-out with the sprue attachment points---often in locations where pieces joined, or under-gated. Also, they seemed to detach very cleanly, best I've ever found---I don't know if it's simply due to the small scale or a certain mix of plastic, but I recommend going against the norm, and try snipping as flush as you can on the first cut. On the smaller pieces at least. Odds are good it'll release very cleanly.
