  1. That's very interesting because Sentinel products previously were very clearly not licensed by HG. I presumed the Japan only nature of this release indicated the continuing of that trend. Maybe we're about to see more reissues now with HG branding.
  2. Looks like they're leaning hard into weathering versions.
  3. When I had friends at Sentinel, they said they were having a hard time justifying the mold costs because they didn't think the other versions would be marketable. There was conversation about possibly doing them as exclusives but even that seemed unlikely.
  4. As long as you can't see the bottom of fighter mode, it's not bad!
  5. Someone get me one!

    1/55's revisited

    I think the landing gear bulge just looks more pronounced because of the lighting.
  7. While that may be true, TZ hasn't offered me any alternatives. I'm also only waiting on parts so the value would be minimal, not sure if that makes things better or worse.
  8. Nothing is incoming from TZ... They still haven't shipped items to me blaming Trump's tariffs... Grumble grumble.
  9. Mospeada is back!
  10. Oops, I forgot to order this one! I'll have to find one in Manda.
  11. The whole mold fits that description but it doesn't mean it doesn't look cool.
  12. 1/28
  13. Lol, so gratuitous.
  14. Wrong thread everyone. Fugu has their own thread somewhere. This thread is for the derpy dx but I hear ya. I bet a Tread will be bumping it's way too the top of my queue soon.
  15. I have both Fugu versions waiting for some attention right now so it will happen. Working 14 hour days though so slow going on the site.
  16. Wow nice mod!
  17. The same problem happens in the 11B and there are a couple other hinges that will have similar cracks.
  18. Be aware that the Yamato 1/60 VF-11 molds are prone to having lots of little cracks but they rarely lead to catastrophic failures.
  19. The one thing they didn't do, that I wish they had, is eliminate the hinge on the panel behind the cockpit. Instead of that panel flipping over the way Gakken did originally, it should recess into the cavity. The array that goes over the shoulder should swivel out on linkage that allows it to sit above the shoulder without that panel being used. The array would twist back toward the exhaust, then pivot on an arm at the back of the chest piece, and then hinge to flip up and over. At this scale, they could have been the first company to make that happen. If they ever did a Shadow/Dark variant (which they obviously wont) that also would eliminate one of the mold changes necessary.
  20. I wonder if the head lasers are too torqued if you could just spin them completely around (gently) a time or two to loosen them up? Maybe wishful thinking.
  21. Hong Kong is different China (at least, outside of China) and HK seems to have taken the tariff situation much worse. That might be why ShowZ just bumped up shipping fees while KC is struggling to find an option.
  22. It went from being lame if you bought from BBTS to being great as I haven't heard a peep about my pilot figure
  23. They really should have just made a Rodimus toy that looked more like a Fire Valkyrie in battroid mode and had the trailer transform into the stage. Transforming into the plane and mating the crumpled plant to the trailer is madness.
  24. Life is crazy right now! I have so little time but I really want to get to them. As soon as things calm down, I'll start pumping more reviews out.
