    I think Leo was the only one you listed that had any complaints, but those were usually silenced once people saw that he was picking some better and more challenging roles for a while. As far as race/ gender swaps, I’m usually ok if the actor can pull it off and the movie turns out to be great. That unfortunately doesn’t always happen. It also sometimes gets a little cringe when it gets overdone like what happens with most red heads, but if the actor or actress can truly deliver then it gets forgiven.

    Is Wave actually making it or just distributing it from another company? Looks a lot more hefty than what they usually make, but a lot of their more ambitious kits have been from other companies like Academy doing the Galient kits or Orange Cat doing the Tekkaman ones. As far as this one, it’s not my favorite from the show, but I definitely like the details and the little dude. And is that little dude actually articulated? Looks like it has several joints. I might have to get this one

    I think that would be brown washing, but to be honest, I like Pedro a lot and even if he is in everything, at least he usually puts everything into his roles for the most part.

    Is the dark weathered looking Kamjin just a prototype or an alternate version that’s going to be available for purchase? Not a fan of metallics in the armor, but at least it’s the least offensive one color wise, but if that flat green weathered version is available, I’d definitely purchase that one

    I’m just hoping it’s as simple as a web exclusive release

    Thanks for the pics, really cool to see details on how it goes together

    Sorry for all the troubles. That water heater had to be tough. We had to have one replaced just the other year. Ours house is on a slope where the main floor is in top and the bottom floor is set up as a bedroom, but we’ve just been using it for storage and laundry. The water heater is behind the bottom room in an odd crawl space where you go downstairs and then crawl up into a an angled floor because of the slope. Luckily it didn’t explode or anything, just kinda died. But getting the replacement was a pain because everything had to squeeze up and take some tight turns in there. And of course it went out right after the pros replaced it. Kept having to crawl in and relight the the dang thing. Turned out there was a problem with the thermo pile and had to get new parts and another repair crew. anyway, the VT-1is looking really cool. Sometimes it’s fun to try some new techniques

    That’s an interesting transition. Very reddish from the top view, but more greenish towards the bottom

    Thanks for the info. Have they set a price or date for preorder? I saw a lot of cool toys being teased from the comic con online and nothing has me as excited as these figures

    I know what you’re saying. Kinda like that episode of Brickleberry where the bear trusted the wrong person

    The lower body always kinda bugged me. Kinda like an oversized uncut………

    Not a huge fan of the 25, but might get an armored S if they put one out

    Yeah, those bodies are just copy paste unfortunately. At least the color on the ace is getting a little closer to the proper one, still a bit off though. And they’re still awkwardly showing the elbow pads in the wrong spots. after rewatching the frontier episode with Temjin trying to start a revolution, I noticed a few of these guys running around and they did have a different color. Maybe they’ll do something closer to that one day. Also the elbow pads were on the back of the arms in that episode as well for them. I honestly didn’t notice these guys were in Frontier many years ago and I assumed they only had movie style body armor, but realized they were there just the other day while doing a rewatch on Hulu

    Did they at least fix the cg for her. She looked like trash in the previews

    I figured these would be on the way . Just kinda figured they’d finish delta first, but then again it’s Bandai and they might never finish something

    I kinda expected something. They had been putting out odd teasers the last couple months and I figured something was coming

    Chernobyl dog?

    Maybe try a cheap plastic spoon and a spare decal to try and see how things go and get a feel for it. Do a crappy scribe on the spoon to give it texture and that will really test the methods before trying it on an actual kit. Party spoons are great for testing.

    For aircraft, I kinda like Satin coat. It gives a bit of a sheen without being too dull. For tankish type armor, I like plain ol’ dull coat

    It’s doable, but can be very risky. You kinda have to sand the lop layer a bit, and poke a tiny hole for the softener to soak through. This method runs a few scary risks since the weathering is already applied and can just make everything even more noticeable, or ruin the decal the best way I’lve found to do decals from the start is after the base colors are layed down to use a gloss coat and then lay them down. After they dry, use the softener like microsol or Mr marksofter and usually that allows it to conform better. You can do the needle trick if there is a spot the decal didn’t conform to well like with a panel line and the softener gets under there and usually does the trick. Then there’s a couple other techniques that work well for blending the edge to make it disappear. You can mix your base color with some clear and spray around the edges to blend them in, or there’s the method that takes a bit more work and that’s to put a few layers of gloss over the decal and use a smoother sand paper and gently sand at the edges to level them down. Be very careful not to over sand and ruin the decal or the base color. Then add a final gloss to make sure the edge is gone. As long as the edge is gone using whatever method works best, then you can do all the weathering and final top coating to finish up.

    They look great, who’s actually making these and has there been a price set for them and any idea of when preorders go up? Sorry for the question jumble, just way more excited about these than most other properties right now.
  22. Big s
    I hate the idea of bootlegs, but I just can’t afford $100 plus shipping or $134, plus a little less shipping. I’m totally priced out on these

    Yay!!!!!, I heard there was something coming for Battlestar Galactica, and I’m super happy with that scale. The figures look great and the viper looks awesome. Maybe a cylon fighter as well🤞

    Looks like the Muppets have been around so long that they had to replace their Captain America as well

    I get the feeling that the universe will come to an end and a new beginning and Keith will still be there smoking a cigarette looking like nothing surprises him
