    Hi-Metal R

    Seems like a good time to repost this. Mike, just grab a tape measure and put it next to one of your transformers at any of these heights:

    Hi-Metal R

    It's technically non scale but the releases range between 1/80 and 1/100.
  3. I agree with the hopes we get all the variants. Curious if this sound booster is a straight reissue with new clips.
  4. Mine should go up this weekend, just waiting on my voice to recover from a head cold to finish.
  5. I love the box but don't understand or like the mash up paint scheme. If they went full autobot it could have been epic.
  6. Looks like Arcadia has a lot of competition in the VF-1 space... Maybe this will be the mold's last hurrah, like the repackaged 1/48 VF-1 toys from Yamato.
  7. Haha, sounds about right.
  8. The hands were pretty bad and likely getting brittle at this point so don't fight them too much. Best to remove the hand, install the gun, then reinstall the hand. I think someone here sold cast hands once upon a time and there were some with the GBP and TV toys
  9. I thought the same. I'm guessing they were concerned the way the wings are grabbed in battroid might cause them to come out with the weight on the backpack.
  10. The first Genesis breaker you seemed to sell well, I wonder why they haven't announced a second... OR THE TREAD??? Maybe they'll announce reissues of all the Legioss and then do the TREAD.
  11. I took mine out for a hot second but I'm still focusing on the YF-21 for now. As someone else observed, the stabilizer that is frequently broken was knocked inward on mine but it wasn't enough to break it.
  12. My first VT-1 has intact vertical stabilizers.
  13. My VT-1 from Yoyakunow is arriving tomorrow.
  14. While the sentimental side of me still loves glossy plastic toys, that matte finish is looking superb.
  15. The Matchbox 1/3000? I don't have any tutorials but it's a very simple toy. I took one apart and put it back together for funsies. I have one now that has been needing a shoulder repair for years... some day I'll get to it.
  16. Call it the "Moshow Cyclone" as they're the ones behind it and it won't confuse it with previous efforts. I agree... it does seem like that rider might not be very natural on that bike. Roboemo, it feels like you're probably as much an authority on the uniforms as any of the show's creators. What I mean is, since we haven't seen something specific in the pretty hefty amount of production materials that are public, they likely never laid out nuances. You could probably outline it all and it would be as close to canon as we'd ever get.
  17. Thanks for the quick report, I was curious if they would make some improvements but it sounds like a straight reissue other than the text.
  18. Yamato's GnuDou was a really good battroid only toy that emulated the line art very well.
  19. My brother gave me a little handheld system (anbernic) that emulates lots of systems and is preloaded with roms. I just spent my train ride back from SDCC playing DarkWizard from the Sega CD... train ride flew right by... I forgot how grueling that game was.
  20. Better than blue spandex with a big 'S' on the chest.
  21. I imagine we should believe that it is the mechanical element acting like a traditional knee.
  22. The more complicated the pose+ alpha gets, the less I think it will be made.
  23. I kinda like it as a battroid mode only toy... Almost feels kit bashed to make the other modes work.
  24. I'll check my archives when I get back from SDCC but hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction beforehand. This was 16 (maybe 17) years ago so it may take some dredging!
  25. Toynami was making their own masterpiece toy but abandoned it when they saw the Beagle and instead made a deal with Beagle to import their toy with a new head as part of their masterpiece line.
