  1. I would double-check that... it'd make sense that Yamato would have reissued them after they made the change to avoid this dilemma, allowing everyone to upgrade there team to later editions, but it seems hard to believe they put more Kakizakis on the market with how slow it moved.

    Sure, maybe BW approved it under the pretense that both the Yamato scheme and the Bandai scheme are correct, depending on which mission M&M were on because their super parts got repainted occasionally. Maybe the Bandai HMR VF-1J Max is the DYRL version... it would explain the arm armors but would not explain why Max would ever have that ride instead of a 1J head on his skull colors.

    I don't know what point you're trying to make so I'm not sure how to respond. Are you saying it can't be that Bandai wanted to do something different? Are you arguing it has to be that the Bandai scheme must now be considered correct? Bandai just cheaps it out and doesn't do a separate TV arm armor mold.
  4. Did you try using a nail and just popping it off?

    The answer to that is the beginning of the previous anecdote. M&M's super schemes have always been questionable... a fertile land for interpretations.

    I very much doubt that, if they could reissue the M&M VF-1J, they'd go with the Bandai scheme. There's room for multiple interpretations and it's quite possible that Bandai went to BW and said "We want to differentiate our product so this is the scheme we'd like to use, are you okay with it?" BW would have then looked at the checks Bandai cut and said "Yeah, you do whatever you want."
  7. No, exclusive that will be sold November 26th, 3 per person. Not sure when it's shipping.

    Which joints are the problem?
  9. Hard to decipher but it sounds like some paint and a sticker sheet so you can really jazz it up. Do people just put a black Light in an desk lamp?
  10. It's the green bits, not the blue.
  11. I think it is glow in the dark and I do want one.
  12. Actually no, the HMR Dougram being released is 1/60 scale so that's not the concern. Edit - adding measurements will definitely be a big part of updates going forward. I'm thinking about making a comprehensive list of all toys and measurements and the calculations of actual scale.
  13. Yeah, I don't think you can get TV Kakizaki with a clear canopy and you can't get TV Roy with a rainbow canopy. Hikaru's 1j and Max's 1A can be had in late or new styles.
  14. I think "who has the best box?" is an inappropriate poll question.
  15. Man, I had no idea how much effort revising my V2 post was going to be. Here's the latest version of the release collage:
  16. I'm sure I posted there a couple times but was not a regular and probably late in the game.
  17. Yes, I have a picture of the box but it looks like it didn't make it into the collage.... I'll get that figured out this week.
  18. Oh yes, the chunky monkeys did the same thing... good times.
  19. Totally agree, give the Gakken a few more points of articulation and a true to anime paint scheme and it could be amazing.

    I'm sure something could be engineered given the right materials and changes to the mold. It's not the size, it's the price.
  21. Yes.

    Hmm haven't heard from HLJ yet.

    You can occasionally nab one on Mandarake for a decent price
