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

This is the real price???😳

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

Imagine Bandai made Mospeada Models and made them as cursed as their Transforming 1/72 VF-1 line 💀

Luckily they’ve dropped those years ago

Only way I can see this happening is if Bandai decides to produce a new show (Mospeada: Frontier ???) and believe they can market their merch during its run. But then the characters and story would probably end up more like Delta than the original or even the genesis breakers side story. 

They do some surprising classics lately, but I think moderoid would beat them to kits, but hmr is an odd possibility. But it’s a long shot since they’ve never touched the franchise

Yeah I had no clue. This is a surprise to me since they are labeled lacquer. Anyway, hope it works out. 

I think the only big issue is durability, and the aqua clear should help, just make sure to test it first because it does take away some shine, but not a lot. Save some sprie

I might get a 31A, but I’d probably skip the rest from delta

Hopefully the HG line jumps around with releases for different series because I care less about Delta.

Same

Looking at some other cels from the film, the concert definitely gave her more of a greenish blue hair, like my cel, than in later scenes. I personally like the very blue hair in the 4K. 

 

 

I watched mostly on a worn out videotape of the U.S. release and I remember the more greenish look, but that all may be due to inferior quality of the video tape on an old school tv that may have had color issues or just a poor master copy that was given to American distribution. It wasn’t until the later dvd version I had where it looked a bit more blue.

I do have to say the Alclad gloss black looks beautiful. It does smell like enamel though. 🤔

Regardless I’m liking how it went on in one shot. 

That’s mainly because they require a gloss black enamel base coat to work 

5 hours ago, Papa Rat said:

Thanks. I had no idea it was so delicate. I guess it’s time to order that aqua clear. 

It’s mainly because it’s not really a true lacquer. There are some chrome paints that are far more durable, but they can be pricey 

3 hours ago, Papa Rat said:

This will be my first go with Alclad. For those with experience, is there anything I should consider when spraying it?

Alclad goes on very easily and looks amazing, but can rub off with a little touch. I tend to only use it on parts that I’ll never handle, like the back of lenses. They do make aqua clear that can seal the paint to make it more durable, but it will lose some of the shine. Other top coats can totally ruin it. Just be aware of its limitations and how to use it.

Basically I want HG kits of designs we don't already have DX or HMR toys of. Kinda why the VF-2SS is not on my wish list.

I kinda feel the same, but wouldn’t mind one. I’d still rather see the J or metal siren.

2 hours ago, Graham said:

I'm also not listing or expecting HG kits of any of the non-transforming mecha, as so far this HG line has not gone there. Although, I'd definitely buy a DYRL N-Ger if they made it and also kits of the small and large Vajra.

While I have my doubts about non transforming models, it is still a rather new line. There’s definitely some room far a little surprise here and there. I do think that something like a Queadluun Rae is more likely than most of the destroids or other suits, but would like to see the armor from Plus and some of the M2 armors

Tomahawk, Phalanx

I kinda doubt Bandai will do these two since wave is already right about to have them in 1/100

40 minutes ago, Chronocidal said:

Don't forget that image has two more series covered up in the middle row.  One of them is Seven, the other could be Plus, so I could see them doing a VF-11 for both.

Definitely would love some 11’s. I like the one from plus the most as a basic vf, but would absolutely spaz if there’s an armored one from 7🤞

I'd buy a HMR Legioss.

Has Bandai ever done anything for Mospeada. I couldn’t think of anything, but it would be cool to see

Nice set.

The only way that Delorean is winning would be with some time travel shenanigans 

Still can’t get over this faceHe did all the cocaine. His spider senses are WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird that Mcfarlane’s most spawn action figure isn’t Spawn

From the series pictured I'd buy:

Queadluun-Rau and Nousjadeul-Ger from SDFM.

VF-2JA, VF-XS, Metal Siren, and Mardook Mecha from Macross II.

SV-51 and Destroid Cheyenne from Macross Zero.

VF-171 and VF-27 from Macross Frontier.

VF-31A and Sv-303 from Macross Delta.

Those are some interesting picks, I’m hoping that they do the non transforming mecha as well. Not sure if they will, but I do have hope, although I’m also still hoping for an hmr tomahawk……………

If they do the VF-25, perhaps I can finally throw out the old VF100 series in my collection... 😆

I threw that junk out a couple years ago. I was a little sad to do it, but also very relieved. I had the armored red stripe and sniper basic pack and they would just stand there looking pretty, but every now and then would fall over and it would be like a grenade exploded. They didn’t even fall to the floor, just kinda to the side or something and it was hamburger hill all over the room from a fall of an inch or less.

I wonder if the still available Wave 1/100 VF-1 kits would impact the chances of a VF-1 soon in Bandai's lineup. I'm still thinking about grabbing some of the Wave kits...

I don’t know if that’s as much an impact as the fact that they’d be really limited on where they could sell from. Hlj is probably the only place in Japan selling them to outsiders and Bandai would have to jump through some licensing hoops to have over seashores stock them.  I kinda get the feeling that they started with Plus due to American interests to test the waters though. But I don’t know if wave is really gonna be an issue as much as just another reason to hold up a little longer.

I'll be interested to see if they do a similar multi-version release for the battroid kit.

It wouldn’t be too difficult. Just need a movie hand set and pack in all the head and decal options
