    On the subject of reusing molds until they're dust, does anyone know how Hasegawa keep their molds in usable condition? I know polishing of molds happens occasionally, but surely there must come a point when they have to just make new molds altogether, right? And in either case, are the new/polished molds different enough to be noticeable? Like, are original VF-1 kits from 2001 better-fitting than their 2026 reissues (to say nothing of even older molds, like IIRC their 1/48 F-14 molds taken from a defunct competitor that originally made them in the 70s)?

    Yeah, I'm definitely in for the Tornado Messiah. That's one less Bandai I'll have to track down (and fumble around with fragile parts). And more 1/48 is always nice, I'll grab one just to make sure I have one. C'mooooon, VF-4...

    More direct source:

    The VF-25 is such a good design. It was so unfair to the VF-31 to have to follow up on that. That said, I already have tons of the 1/72, from both Bandai and Hasegawa. I don't know if I need another, in a smaller scale, that's likely less nicely molded. (The YF-29 was a bit of a disappointment and soured me on this line's take on the newer designs.)

    That was always a fool's hope anyway, at least in the short term. Long term, more diversified supply will allow the industry as a whole to better absorb demand spikes and prices won't shoot up as much as they do now... but that's also assuming that RAM usage will return to normal or even stay steady at a new elevated normal. Either way, this AI bubble can't possibly burst fast enough.

    It just occurred to me. Ribbons. "Reborns." Was it actually literally supposed to be "Ribbon's Gundam" and they Engrished it up?

    I want to say that manga fans felt Stampede was 1) closer to it in tone despite 2) being it's own loose adaptation. Are either of these the case? I didn't watch it past a few episodes - nothing against it, I just lost track and never got back to it. I thought it was fine for a property I was never super into, but it did indeed bring me back to the OG anime, which I think definitely stands the test of time given my nephew was watching alongside and having a good time, too.

    Who/what are Dana, Glitch, Knights of Guinevere, Park Planet, etc.?

    Certainly seems more interesting than that other thriller miniseries that I saw the other day, His and Hers. Started out strong, then ended on a stuuupid twist that made the entire endeavor not worth it at all.

    In the Robotech Battlecry game, it's referred to as the prototype "YF-1R" and shares the top spot stats-wise with the VF-1S.

    Rerelease. This came out long after the 1/72 weapon set did; a quick way to tell the difference, since they are so similar, is that the micro-missiles for the missile box come as individual missiles on the 1/48 (pictured) and a single piece on the 1/72. IIRC the 1/48 also excludes the pilots since they are included with the base 1/48 fighter kit.

    Just got back from seeing this. It's a more straight forward, slightly less ambitious but also slightly less opaque film than its predecessor. It keeps up the consistently good quality the other two established. I hear the sequel has already been greenlit, which is fine in my book; I'll be looking forward to it.

    Any places to get this? The only store I can find is Gundamit. Not that I dislike them, but just I would have expected to see it elsewhere as well. Maybe not USAGS, but at least Gundammodelcenter or whatever its new store is. 1/144 and 23cm, that's pretty big. I'm not super familiar with the AOZ designs, is this thing new to the reboot? From the original?
  14. kajnrig
    Before I click on that, yes.
  15. kajnrig
    Ah yes. In hindsight the context clues are obvious. "Hasegawa Death Stranding kit," oof.
