    Looking nice so far! meantime, I dare someone to take a Runabout model and do the Griswold Family's "green station wagon" space version, complete with Grandma on the top of it (National Lampoon's Vacation) and Lindsey Buckingham singing "Holiday Road" programmed into the base that can play when activated!

    Hmmm...this makes me wonder if micloning could be used for some other stuff...such as replacing damaged bodies, or even retaining the DNA of a younger version so that aging could be deteated. Simply transfer the consciousness to a younger body...

    I seem to specialize in the "weird" nowadays...

    I saw the Zentran Valk in the Macross II rpg books; interesting design, but it felt a little "naked" without GERWALK mode. On that note: while I understand your point about GERWALK mode, I recall in DYRL that Roy Focker had this team use GERWALK mode in battle as a way to swing around the incoming battlepods during the opening battle scene: (around 1:54 in the following video):

    Hoping for an SDF-1 reissue; would also love to see the old Imai VF-1 kits reissued (need some parts badly and some VF's I don't have yet!). Same,,,adding that to the list!

    Well... when I built my custom valk, it was a Zeta Plus that was the basis for the framework (I modded the daylights out of it):

    I think (just my opinion anyways) that the difference is that in the original Japanese productions, they treated the mechs (in this case, the mobile suits ) as a means by which to tell the story. The characters were the primary point and the story was set in a war drama that happened to be one where mankind is using an advanced combat system that is robotic by nature. In 'Murican productions, they treat the mech as the whole point and the characters are secondary tack-on's. You just don't get the tension, heartache, loss and pain that the original stories convey because Michael is too busy setting the fuse for the next 5 tons of TNT. on the "junkyard vomit robots beating each other back into scrap"... that pretty much sums it up.

    At this point, I'm done speculating on what they might release. I'll have more to say when they release some merchandise into the North American market.

    Yeah. They also need to darken Adam/ He-Man's eyebrows a bit. They almost get lost in the scenes and he looks browless to me! O.o

    No... I'm a bit leery to put anything else in aside from lighting. I know I could use batteries, but those get expensive after a bit, and I'm not sure about trying for house current, as I'm no electrician, and I don't want to burn the base (and house) down. Otherwise, I'd love to put in much more lighting, sound effects, an electric motor for the elevator, screens to replay scenes from the cartoons, etc. I just don't know if I could do it in a way that wouldn't turn the cardboard into a fire hazard. Hence the solar powered light. If anyone has ideas though (folks here should know more about this than I do), I'm all ears. There's a member on TFW2005 (Maximal prime) who's doing the entire Ark and Mt. St. Hillary and his work puts mine to shame! https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/w-i-p-g1-ark-diorama.1208935/ Seriously, check his stuff out; it absolutely ROCKS!!! He's nearly done with it!

    Currently working on my Transformers Activity Center: I just put in the new med center, and redid the landing pad: At least the gang seems happy with it:

    Yeah... with the loss of TRU in the states, that left many like Hasbro and such without a major venue for their collector's stuff in a brick and mortar setting. Kay-Bee Toys had been working on a comeback a couple of years ago, but they failed to launch when they couldn't get the financial backing together (it would have been a disaster anyways, given COVID and all). There used to be other places such as FAO Schwartz, Child Kingdom/ Child World and Toy Works (later merged with Kay Bee); now, it's pretty desolate. Then also consider retail stores like Caldors, Bradlees (mostly northeast US, admittedly) tanked, and K-Mart and Sears in the states are one foot in the grave (and the other sliding in) thanks to Eddie Lampert's BS "business practices", toy manufacturers have lost a lot of retail presence out there.

    Looks like they used the same body for both red and green, TBH. I wonder if they did that just to get the prototype shot up?

    Honestly, I would just paint the blue on the edges and use a sharpy fineline marker if you feel you need it. otherwise, I'd just leave it off if I were you. It's going to be a pain that you just don't need bro.

    Double post

    BTW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I like doing the toys because they tend to be built stronger than the models. That said: I'm also willing to go to great lengths to correct the imperfections, and will even graft kit parts onto a toy if I deem it necessary. Well bro...you could always mail it to me.
