    I have a small dremel 7300 and it has a low speed setting that is fine for styrene or abs without melting plastic. The common ones at Walmart or target don't have that low of a setting, but some of the smaller ones do.

    That would make a lot of sense seing as Jar Jar is such an important polotician, that he would need some outsiders to sneak those plans away.

    I have had some luck removing enamel paints in small spots with just a clean rubber pencil eraser. Enamel paints don't stick as well as other paints, but when painting clear parts especially thin frames it's always a bit scary.

    It's $20 cheaper than the US release, but $60 is still very high for such a small amount of actual film time. I watched all 4 episodes already and really liked them even with having the worst soundtrack to anything ever, but that is an insane price tag. If it was $30 or maybe $40 I would pick it up.

    I'm afraid to try to remove the guns at the rear on the regult and haven't heard of anyone doing it yet. I like the regult enough that if they do release the variants I would buy them all even the recolor for the movie.

    Filling it like that may prevent the swivel of the joint. There may be a way of get a piece that could fit fixed on one end and maybe have a wider top to lock it in place keeping the joint action. It's possible some one with far better experience on these fixes could figure it out.

    The odd thing is that they have the same price.

    Thanks for clearing that up. It been years since I've even seen the old films/ova's. I don't have a working vcr, but have the tapes boxed up. The only thing of guyver I have on dvd is the complete set of the tv series from a few years back. I still think after doing a search it seems strange bbts is the only place I could find listing that variant of the figure.

    It is strange that the other sites don't list that movie version. Was the Guyver II in the manga originally female, I haven't read it yet so excuse my ignorance.

    Seti88 listed it as 1/12 bb8 and after looking at those pics the 1/12 set is next to the 1/2 scale version on the post which was why I got a bit confused. That's the Godzilla of bb8's compared to the other one.

    I really hope that leg can be fixed easy. That's the side swivel joint at the knee and to fix it straight would be very easy, but to keep the swivel will be more complicated either way I hope it can be done.

    1/12bb8is already out in a two pack with r2. The other stuff has been announced but those are new pics.

    I doubt the kit price will change much if at all.

    There really isn't enough news on this thread for a figure line with so many releases. Anyway I was on Hlj and noticed that there is a preorder for a figma guyver 2 fm. It says it's one from the manga, which must take place sometime after all the anime, ova, and movies ended. I have never read the manga in hopes an anime version would come out with at least an ending, but I thought the figure looked really great so I had to preorder it anyway. Hopefully more guyver figmas are on the way. I also have the guyver 1 figma to go with it and thought it was just a one off thing.

    My daughter and I loved the first one cheese and all, can't wait for the next one. The suits toward the beginning of the film looked very anime for a live action film, especially around the ankle area.

    For something as small as the eyes they probably don't need the blue or green paints for previs work. If it ends up something that needs to be erased or replaced like a cybernetic arm they most likely would take those steps. They may also be doing away with those eyes for more realism. On an agent for a secret government branch they really stand out, like a comander in a one piece thong bathing suit.

    The LA anime expo announced Kawamori as a guest, so now the question is that since last year it was a big robotech thing will be talk much about that or just talk about Delta, or maybe we'll get some surprising news that Harmony Gold worked out a deal to let all the Macross stuff come to the US. I know, wishful thinking🙃

    The eyes themselvesare enough for tracking for cgi due to the color contrast. The ones for deadpool were tracked by the area around the white eyes on the mask, other films have done cgi eye additions without the help of green or blue pants. Not sure if he will get different eyes in this or maybe a prosthetic for later, later production pictures and footage will give us a better idea of what direction they go. Either way it's looking more believable as an actual film.

    It's wave so I doubt extras will be included.

    The tail fins on the Roy look like the sprue is connected wher it's painted black. Some times a quick fix for that situation is using a black sharpie over the cut mark and dull coat or gloss if it needs to be shiny.

    I hope they stick with old school Macross until it's all done, then maybe Macross 2 or plus

    I did say closer to the source material, not an exact copy. The new film turtles are almost twice as big as they were in the old days and they are very hard to look at. Part of the what made me love them as a kid was that they were short and almost cute, something you don't expect to kick anyone's butt. The other thing here from the trailers that I have problem with is the over use of explosions and slow mo. None of the previews show what they physically can do. And just because the comic was dark it was still fun, but I don't think a film will ever be made that will capture all that. I also liked them having tails, which was something that gets left out here and there with different versions.

    That price for a wave kit is not surprising at all. They don't pick items other companies do and they don't have the high production of a company like Bandai. Since there are no moving parts I would expect the detail to be high if not spot on.

    Personally I want a great f2 version. The new one is a good representation of the anime and the old one looks like the one from turn A.
