I have high hopes for an eventual VF25 release

I have no doubt they’re planning on releasing those, and they’re gonna be pretty great.

Lets hope they produce VF-19S. 

 

They probably will. Might be a web exclusive though 

A bunch of kits went up for preorder for the new Gundam show. I didn’t care, but something that totally surprised me was the Gallus from ZZ Gundam has an hg kit. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to do since there was a Unicorn version that seems to be one of the rarest standard releases ever. But I guess I was surprised that this is a standard release as well 

I’ll wait and see if they do the A type

Those look great, but given Wave's pricing  they will likely be very expensive.

Wave’s pricing isn’t really that bad for a smaller company. Hg Bandai kits are starting to creep up into the mid thirties these days. As an example for a smaller 1/35 kit of the scopedog without the cockpit and downform parts, it’s about thirty bucks and has extra hands, round mover back pack and a machine gun. A fairly good amount of plastic. 1/100 destroids don’t even have hands or extra weapons or back packs. I’d still expect they’d probably be near that range more or less

I might be interested in this one…

Yeah, it looks pretty great actually.

With all this options, they'll only need to do the VF-1J Max and Miria. In fact, we just need the white straps and the Miria's name for the cockpit.

I have a feeling that they didn’t include those due to possible upcoming releases that might be just around the corner

Nice pick. I like their earlier stuff the best. Sort of a folk band smashed into a punk band kinda sound at the time.

waiting for premium models of Raiden, Ikaruga,

Looks like one of the Ikaruga models is getting a rerelease, probably a good sign that the other one will as well in the near future

IDK, I think KITT would find the Delorean to be too stupid to hack.

Probably, but might be petty enough to jump ahead of it and keep it from reaching 80

Saw it yesterday, did "dinner and a movie" (where they serve you at your seat)----I liked it.  I think the B/B- rating is about right.  Is it great?  No, but nothing's as good as Captain America: Winter Soldier.  And it's 10x better than true junk like Eternals or Quantumania or The Marvels.  People are acting like this is bottom-tier MCU, and it's not at all.  It's a solid movie IMHO.  Just not, 'amazing'.     

I’ve been hearing that as well. Basically not as good as the greats, but far better than the majority of the films , especially the recent ones. 
I didn’t think as many people would check this one out, but family, friends and coworkers have gone out and watched it. I guess not much to do on the long weekend or something. Most of them really had fun with it, although there were a few that I talked to that weren’t too impressed but no one that hated it yet so far out of the people I know.

And if it gets to 88mpg it can be at the finish line before the race even starts.

 

Unless KITT hacks its systems and makes it 20 years too late to the finish

Both are Valkyrie designs that are sort of impossible without cartoon magic mass-shifting, so I feel that an HG kit version would do the VF17 line art battroid proportions more justice

I remember the toy versions being very thin looking. A kit may be better, but those legs are supposed to be fairly chonky. They’d probably have to swap those out for fighter mode to keep it looking like the line art. I kinda wonder if it might be something that Max Factory is planning since they did the fire Valkyrie kit and might do the 17 variants at some point

@Big s you’re onto something about Alclad under other colors. I put a clear purple over some Alclad Chrome and it has a really nice effect. Thanks for the heads up. 
 

Yeah, alclad looks amazing under other clear color or under clear plastics like the backing of clear sensors or headlights. It’s one of those things that often looks absolutely amazing in person, but can be really hard to photograph to show others how great it turns out

My daughter went with her fiance yesterday and said it’s not a perfect movie, but they had fun anyway and liked it. I may check it out, but probably will still wait for D+. They sent me a picture of the popcorn bucket and at least it’s not pervya little weird that its like your eating his brains

I think the 1/28 Legioss is meant to be in scale with those small transforming cyclones Toynami made.

You mean B2five. Toynami usually doesn’t seem make anything

That Q-Rau is soo awesome. The paint variation is just incredible, so many different reds and grays - just so subtle  and well done.

Yeah, not only the roughness of the colors, but all the individual extra scribing for added panels and those extra sensors. It’s a lot of added work

I don't think it needs it own thread (yet!) but looks like THE GOONIES 2 is officially happening!

Hollywood is still chasing that GenX money but legacy sequels hasn't had a good track record, seems like 1 out of 10 or more are really good or isn't a box office success.

Noidea how the sequel will go but my crazy idea would be the actors the actors themselves would be the "goonies", kinda like "THIS IS THE END" where the actors portrayed themselves in a crazy situation. 

 

‘Goonies 2’ Officially in the Works With Steven Spielberg Producing

Most of them sort of have careers that are active. Maybe not all in great spots, but they don’t look too bad mostly for their ages. Are they going to be the main characters? And will it leave the planning stages?

I'm really curious to see how Bandai handles the color separation of the parts in the VF-31.

Probably lots of stickers

Probably. Personally it is something I want, but I’m just gonna hope for a moderoid version to save some cash

Nice and crisp. Kinda realistic since he only used the armor once. It probably would’ve looked brand new

Yes, but the big question is, if they did a multi-version set for the battroid kit would they include the standing figures?

'Cus I with Kakizaki being a limited (Japan only) release I'm SOL for a complete set. And still really  miffed by that!😡

They did for some of the Dougram stuff, but I don’t know if they’re gonna be that nice to Macross fans

Very Meh I wanted more Mac7 like the Vf-11, VF-19 Emerald Force and the Vf-17

I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be more vf-19’s coming since they’ve never touched emerald force isn’t too different than the Kai. Hopefully not web exclusive
