    I noticed the Deadfish release of Ep 4 seemed lower quality (more pixelated) than earlier eps. Like they dropped the video bitrate or something. Most noticeble when there's lots of "sparklies" (or missiles!) on screen.
  2. David Hingtgen
    True, but I find them easier to accept than UUUU's weird paw-thumbs.

    So it seems few people like the Anubis-head? I love it. Though I also seem to be one of the few who likes the head on Messer's -31.

    13 or 4? I'm tempted to do 4, but 13 is so much better-known.

    I had FP NotWeirdWolf on pre-order, but cancelled it. Snout is ridiculously long, and the colors are all wrong----which is strange, as FP/MT has the best paint and color matching of ANY toy company. Hasbro's has perfect colors (wish their Triggerhappy did) and a much better wolf head.

    Ok, just a quick overview from last night (it's hard to take good pics at night under CFL's): I tried to give an impression of the paint job and the many small markings tampo'd on. A single piece of one of the intakes has more printing than my entire Arcadia -19 I think... Bottom pic, note the tailfins have each RWR/light painted---white, red, silver.

    I hope there's at least one repaint of the commander-type. Actual pure black with gold would be nice.

    As I said---I've got *a* 1/144 Tomytech Gimix series kit. It's just not a valk. They have planes from real-world, games, and anime.

    G1 Triggerhappy was so simple, and has a Cybertronian alt-mode, so he's in the "hard to be massively better" category if an MP or 3P came out. Kind of like Soundwave---the G1 was already fairly "perfect"---new ones are just bigger. Sure they're better, but it's not like MP Bumblebee levels of better than the original.

    It seems strange but true, but the "Ace Combat effect" seems to work in real life: Nowadays, it's not the airframe/engines, it's the avionics/weapons. Give me an F-8 with AESA, ASRAAM, and Meteor, and I'll happily go up against a Gripen wielding AIM-9J's...

    Man, if there's a character I was NOT expecting a new figure of, it's Triggerhappy: Very pleasantly surprised, and he is SO bought. He was my one and only Targetmaster. (excluding Piranacon, who only sorta counts)
  12. David Hingtgen
    Well, the first one is the worst by far. Try the second, see if the improvement is enough to keep hoping it'll eventually become good. (I'm still watching, but MAN that first ep turned me off...)

    I could go on for pages about Uranos' jet modes, but suffice it to say---Harrier's the worst by far, followed by Falcon. Phantom's probably the best. Ares has MUCH better jets. But the Rafale's better than the Tomcat. (sorry, I don't know Liokaiser well enough to know their real names, much less TFC's names)

    Anyone interested in any pics/sort of a build? It's not a valk, but I just got one of these kits and plan to start it soon. It won't be a full build article or anything, but I could highlight some things people are interested in.
  15. David Hingtgen
    That's being generous/optimistic. My answer is "zero chance, don't waste time writing an email". You might as well ask the FAA to do something about bad food on a North Korean airline...
  16. David Hingtgen
    I thought I saw very finger-looking things in a view of it in Ep 3, will try to find it.
  17. David Hingtgen
    This. My fave "Macross Idol" and she's not even mentioned.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yay. Remember to watch when combining Tigris and Fortis's blades in blade-staff mode. If it gets tight, don't force it. Separate and sand, and try again.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Thus, why Allosaurus remains my all-time fave. Don't have to worry (much) about them feathering him up.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Raptors? Feh. Deinonychus FTW. Gimme one of THOSE.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Exactly. Somehow they don't seem to know the shape/angle needed (the "chin" is often too pointy for the "right" size to fit) Also----what if you don't want one THERE? Or want one at all? Molded-in spots are generally bad, as both pro- and anti-insignia people have issues with them. Simply leave decently blank/smooth spots, on chest or shoulder. Then it looks good either way----if there's no sticker, there's no obvious "molded spot" that's empty. If you want to use it---you should have a range of sizes/styles that'll work. In short----don't force a sticker location, but also don't prevent me from using one. It's fairly simple to do--just don't put ridges and valleys and dimples EVERYWHERE. Leave a spot or two more plain/flat.

    Diesel: Chest, on center silver "block" (need to replace with smaller one, as the indentations lead to peeling "crown points"---gah, if only it was SMOOTH there with no depressions, it'd work so much better---but that's my #1 irk with all 3P figures----lack of smooth areas big enough for an insignia. Cab doors, hollow chrome (so black shows through). Trailer, center of "main sword" section. T-Bone---tiny one bent across middle of chest that keeps peeling up due to acute angle of chest-plate. (see complaints abovee). Center of doors in car mode. Last Chance---center of hood, center of doors. Others: I wanted T-Bone's hood insignia to be off-set like the G1 and CC/Breakdown's, but you have to use a tiny one to do so. So I went with a big one in the middle.

    I don't remember Visionaries much----I have much better/fonder memories of the OTHER hologram toy--Super Naturals. (and I dare say they simply had superior holography---they were "deeper" than Visionaries)
  24. David Hingtgen
    I will likely sell my Arcadia -19 if Bandai does a true Isamu YF, or a YF or 19A with neat colors. Then I will be Arcadia-free and almost Yamato-free. Don't know if that's good or bad.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I think most of the Frontier DX's have at least one wing insignia like that. It's harder to tell since they're angled anyways, but I think quite a few are "not quite right".
