    Hi-Metal R

    So is this just the max.

    I guess the film is almost at $400 million in earnings due to the overseas box office and has become the number 1 video game based film of all time.

    I just did a quick look at that site and the prices don't look too bad, but some items seem like the label didn't match the picture.

    To be honest I forgot they made an ultron.

    China seems to be holding it up as a victory for the Chinese box office. They may have rescued this film from financial disaster and may have even turned it into a success if their numbers are correct.

    Man that's only 2or 3 bucks more than the smaller more ugly ones.

    He's there to tell everyone that he knows how to make a good movie, but I hope no one listens. All the live action movies and a good majority of his animated stuff has been terrible or boring or both.

    Everything is going on in that picture, everything🤓

    I have a feeling that the price on this will not $400, but maybe closer to the $100 range as a low and maybe around $200 for a high estimate. So far the cockpit looks like two halves with visible detail that needs to be shown. Unless they go with an internal structure it's possible to even be lower than my low estimate, but max factory kits have usually been at the $50 plus range for smaller kits. Then again those smaller kits had moving parts and as far as I know this vf1 is just the fighter mode so moving parts would be minimal.

    For me a guilty pleasure is something you find good for whatever reason, while all your buddies would poke fun of you for liking. Most shows and films I like l, I'm proud I like. But as far as music there are bands I will only play if I have headphones or I'm in my car alone. Mercyful Fate is high on that list. The music isn't the issue, it's King Diamond and his extremely over the top high pitches that sound like cartoon character. I can't even defend how bad it sounds, but when I'm on the freeway I have to crank it up. Of coarse the windows are rolled up and nobody else is around. And who thought Mellisa would be a great name for a dark heavy metal album. I also really like the Christain Death album Only Theatre of Pain. The music is great and the guitarist was from the Adollescents, I may have misspelled that last one, but any way it's got a very dark punk sound with a vocalist that sounds like a stereotypical tranny on a rant. Either way when no one else is around those two are my biggest guilty pleasures.

    Is that a discount price? The last time I saw these they were $20.

    Has vr ever had a real start.

    I hand brush the panel lines on most of my kits. I use a lacquer top coat after the base coat of paint, then after the top coat has dried a couple of days out of paranoia I use oil paints I bought at Michaels arts and craft store. The oil paints seem expensive at first, but they last a long long time when thinned. Just make sure the thinner doesn't dissolve the lacquer. If the topcoat is gloss the panel lines will be smooth, if the top coat is dull the panel lines can giv a grimmy look. After the kit is finished I put a final top coat. If the base coat is lacquer you may not need the first top coat. Just play around with it.

    Are those markings the usual hg sticker? I don't see an outline, so I was wondering how those markings are handled. I really love the box art on these. The web exclusive box art is usuall very dull, but these look fantastic. I may get them just as a display for the boxes alone.

    Either it's a watch or a kit of a watch or a magic teleportation device or🤐

    Have they stated a price yet. By the looks of it they may be going large, but simple to keep the cost down kinda like the large scale scale simple gaundam bandai put out a couple years ago.

    I just preordered the revoltech from Hlj, anyone know when the figma preorder starts. I'm just gonna get both to compare.
  18. Big s
    They have to hear it.
  19. Big s
    The teaser for the figma looks like the same design. The revoltech looks good, but I have had slightly better luck with figmas. Some of the revoltech figures fall apart, but don't break. The figmas I have from the last couple of years seem a little tougher than they were, but I'm still a little worried about messing with them much. If sh figuarts did these comic style designs I'd probably go with those, but for now maybe if the revoltech comes out sooner than the figma I'll pick one up and see if it's one of the good ones and decide on the series after that to see which company is the option for me.

    I was just at a Hobby Town, (or was it Hobby People, I always get the two confused) and they had some of the new hg IBO kits for $11. They may be a little higher than ordering from Japan if you don't count shipping, so if you live near one in here in the U.S. It may be an alright alternative for buying. They also had various mg, sd, rg and hg kits. And for those looking for paints there's also a new type of model master paint that comes in small bottles that are lacquer based for those having a hard time getting a hold of mr color, like me.

    While other companies are doing movie versions I'm glad someone is doing the comic style. Looks like from the teaser a Spider-Man is coming soon. The other one has a bigger look with sharp looking nails maybe venom. Any one know if these will only be Marvel or will other companies be involved like DC?

    The newest preview looks amazing. The cgi has really come a long way. I showed it to the family and had a hard time convincing everyone that there were no live actors. And was that an Audi?

    That's the first revoltech figure I've been excited about in years. I have a few of the micro ones from MGS, but the last large ones I bought were the og alien and the predator. Those were great, but the Ironman was a crappy one. It looked good, but it fell apart easy and the weight of parts made it want to lean in odd ways. I hope this will be one of the good ones.

    I would love some non Valkyrie items like destroids or enemy mecha or even just other vehicles.

    Bought some sale items mostly classics. Part way through Cashaan and it gives me a smile. The animamation is almost Hanna Barbera with robots meant for a kids show, with action that is sometimes absolutely brutal with overkill that seems common. like robot rats that steal food then incinerate everything from people to the poor alleycat or goofy looking robots stabbing people in the back with giant spikes and then electrocuting them. Finished Space Adventure Cobra and loved it. Some of the storylines were a bit too silly, but it's a great combo of 007 and outlaw star. Also finished Turn A gundam and liked it enough to finish it. I haven't seen every gundam show, but I have seen quite a few and this one is a bit lower on my nonexisting list than ZZ. The designs and backgrounds and animation quality are high and the story needed far better writers. The decisions characters made were all chaotically stupid even knowing the odd situation they are in. The bonus interviews with Syd Mead were very interesting. Also finished the episodes of Ajin on Netflix. The cgi animation is as bad as the Knights of Sidonia animation, but even with some slow episodes I found that I just couldn't stop watching. I hope more episodes are on the way.
