  1. To be honest most of the pictures have been fighters, so the battroid needs some love😻
  2. It did have something I really wanted that the other revives didn't and that was closed fist hands. Seriously is it too much to ask for. The mk2 only had the basic grip hands. I guess the gouf had them too and the web shop version I have actually has both left and right closed fist hands.
  3. I just saw the first episode the other day and it has some really great looking backgrounds. Hopefully it won't dissapoint me as much as everyone else.

    I don't think the price is too high on this line. I do think the choice of which item is an exclusive is based more on the items that are direct recolors. The Roy was a repaint of the Hikaru with all the same extras plus a special stand. This Millia is a recolor of the Max with the same extras. The line is pricy if you compare it to Japanese toys of maybe a decade ago, but these are prices in line with today's toys and action figures.

    Got mine on preorder. And I didn't think there'd be any news when I checked this thread today.
  6. Varnish is another word for a top coat. There can be a varnish for different uses like in this case for model kits. Most product will say what they are used for and may have a warning on what not to use it on. If you have any pieces of the sprue left over you can use that to test any product you have questions about.
  7. I personally have seen no problems with future. The only issue I have had with the product has been trying to figure out what the name it's going by since it keeps changing. The last time I bought some it went under the name Pledge With Future Shine, but it may have changed again.
  8. To be honest the Eva always looked like it was wearing some trendy shoes.
  9. Enamel does yellow due to the oil content, but the humbrol may not have a high enough enamel content to matter. Future is mostly an acrylic gloss coat with water and a bit of soap mixed together. I have never seen it yellow unless the kit was left I direct sunlight for a few years.

    I like the idea of missile effect parts. That was one of the most interesting suggestions I've heard in a while.
  11. I just saw the pilot episode and I hope that the do some improvements before it goes on. The costume made him look very light weight and the color along with lines molded in the suit make him look oddly old. The basic story is interesting, but it comes off kinda creepy instead of comedic. Maybe it's that some scenes kinda linger a bit long instead of getting to the point. If they make more I would probably still watch it.

    That's been the case in the past as well. Remember the vajra, sh figuarts Sheryl, Ranka and from gundam char aznable sh figuarts. But most robot spirits have been ok especially the inclusions of some neglected Dunbine figures. I personally am not worried yet with such a new line that put out 3 of my all time favorite designs in action figure form for the first time in a few decades.

    The other destroids are a bit smaller and less complicated so the cost would probably be less than the 1a, so maybe $50 or $60 range.i doubt they would be more than $75. So a four pack would probly be cheaper, but bandai would more than likely sell them seperate.

    I think bandai wants to build some hype at the hobby show and we may get some news on more than just one upcoming hmr release. Hopefully some nice destroids and zentraidi mecha.
  15. I tried watching Ninja Slayer and gave up after the first episode. The opening made the show look like it would have an interesting quick crazy anime style, then the first thing in the episode is a paper cut out look kinda like inferno cop. Inferno cop was better because it's so short it doesn't have time to get annoying, but ninja slayer felt like a big tease and a let down. If I knew what I was getting into I might have liked it better. Anyway I was recently doing a trial for funimation channel and got a message that they are teaming up with crunchyroll and will reduce the cost of premium membership to $5.99. I guess the plan is to have subs on crunchyroll and dubs on funimation, but still have more newer content on both as well as exclusives for both.

    Wave hasn't put out any older macross kits in a while and the vf4 is still not finalized. Also hasegawa does some nice kits, but all Valkyrie. I am glad hasegawa finally did a gerwalk, but I think the battroid may need an update.
  17. It says the substrate is acrylic and enamel. I don't know if it would be enough enamel to yellow, but hopefully not. Tamiya clear could also be used the same I would imagine.
