    Definitely a nice kit for Macross fans

    The biggest changes seem to come from shrinkflation. I remember when the Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger was rather filling. Now it’s no bigger than a McDouble without the “veggies” or sesame seeds, but for more money. Oddly, it may help the American younger generation to be a bit thinner on average since the food is smaller and more costly while people from my generation contemplate getting seconds before checking our wallets. The younger people may actually get used to these smaller food items and that may become the norm.

    I always found that outfit awkward in the show. It works for the manga since she doesn’t seem out of place with lack of clothes on the ladies, but is strange in the series. She just shows up at important places with conservatively dressed politicians and such with a few dudes that look slightly homeless while she’s in a thong and no pants day for half a season, I guess till it got cold and tells people she’s the one in charge of a murder investigation or cyber security situation

    Reminds me of the time Obi chopped off a dudes hand to end a bar fight. He was skilled enough to deflect blaster shots, yet instead of slicing the blaster, he went for the mutilation move to show who the real badass was

    It’s an interesting kit in that it’s very poseable more like a Bandai kit, but the construction almost feels a bit like a hasegawa kit. Sort of a blend between old and new in some odd ways. The soft plastic makes for quick nub clean up though

    I think you’re really only gonna need a touch of gray for the head lasers and maybe some clear colors on the clear parts and a little black in some recessed areas. Don’t forget the glue on the loose bits like the circles, those things love to just plop off. Other than being a little old school it’s mostly a fun build with very few seams that show. Oddly it has seams on the thumbs and Gunpod that are the most noticeable

    When I was a kid years before the prequels, I always thought of the space ships and the battle of Hoth or speeder chases through forests of alien planets or droids and giant walking machines and large battleships and fighters dog fightin. The whole space knight thing was kinda like a little cherry on top rather than the focus for me.

    I was thinking more like plastic man struttin down the way

    I guess it’s not available at the U.S. pbandai store
  10. Big s
    Where was it available?

    Not 3 then?

    What happened, did they get sued?

    $71 ish at hobby search and I have some points there that will give me some savings, so I’ll probably order from there unless I see a fantastic price pop up. Inflation sucks and she doesn’t even seem to come with much other than the basics.

    I’m kinda glad you started with a rough one first. The old kits ain’t easy, but if you can handle that it must’ve made this gundam go together like a dream.

    They did stretch it out. The lense part is probably more of what they meant though. The artwork has always been a bit rubbery and the design team mostly just added a couple details and cleaned things up. As far as head height, that may just be the design team having a bit of artistic difference after a couple years rather than an intentional change like some of the panel lines on the fuselage or square hands for realism as opposed to a more substantial change like the VT-1D as opposed to the VF-1D. But I’m really no expert, just someone that tries to interpret ever changing line art from the age of rubber robots

    She’s up at bbts. But over a hundred bucks and they won’t get it until an entire year from now. I’ll wait and see how much she is at one of the Japanese sites. $100 is too much for me, especially when Gambit was less than $60 just saw she’s up at hlj. $85 isn’t much better especially with the higher shipping cost

    But weren’t all the super poseable ones based off another company’s resin garage kits and the 1/100’s just copied from Banpresto

    I did it again. I keep clicking over here thinking Twisted Metal

    I’m pretty sure all their Dyrl stuff was just the banpresto stuff anyway, and that was long ago and best forgotten

    There’s a few little details that could use a touch of paint though. The head lasers are all white for instance, there’s really only a few other little things that need touch ups

    Just make sure you got some glue, this thing has little bits that will just plop off . It’s a pretty fun build so far though

    Heads done as far as test fitting. There are a couple little seams on the head lasers where they connect to the housing, but like most of the seams they aren’t noticeable and actually super tiny. Not much head movement, a little back a slight bit more down and a bit of a tilt. It can torn any direction and the head lasers can point down just can’t aim straight since they don’t move inward . There’s a little detail under the clear lense piece that will look good with some chrome detailing

    The only thing I found on scale was the bbts listing it as 8 inches tall. Not sure if that counts head lasers or not. It sounds like somewhere between 1/72 and hmr scale wise

    Nice, if an English version for the switch comes up I’ll buy it. I’ve never actually played it and always wanted to
