    Actually, I was thinking of those when I said it. HMR is roughly 1/100, yeah? Mav would seem like Captain America before the jab in that company.
  2. Radioguy
    They don't need to go that far. 🙄

    Yeah, I own it, but the 1A head looks wrong when I first encountered the image of a camo valk, and even a 1D, both as shown on the Revell box art. First impressions, ya know? But, I would lay money down now for a TZ Axoid! That scheme is a holy grail for me. Problem is, those schemes are Revell conceptions, not IMAI, nor anyone else. I mean they got the legs on backwards in those pics! Also, it was from before HG had ROBOTECH as a license to defend, so I don't know if it reverts to them, or somehow stays with Revell. Could be some entanglement there. Still, be it kit or toy, I believe the Revell versions were the first SDF era valks to be released in the states that weren't imported Japan retail kits. Honoring these schemes as part of the beginning of the ROBOTECH brand would make sense...to me, at least.

    Kinda mongrel valks you'd find at the pound. Seriously though, an alternate timeline where Hayao/Ben survived is an obvious storyline idea if the series ever gets readapted and stretched. That could allow for a green 1J, or even a 1S. Me, I always imagined a VF squadron on Mars for Axoid to fit into. Native stealth mode! Orbot being a trainer for wherever the Woodland 1As were deployed, etc. I think someone did do a custom Yammie 1:48 1J in green and flipped it on eBay awhile back, but said it was based on another character. Never seen anyone try customs of the Revell schemes on the toys...yet.

    Thanks. An odd bod in a scaled Macross scenario. Mavericks stand alone, apparently.
  6. Radioguy
    Thanks. I doubt any of us will ever want to feature this aspect. Damned odd. Is the material cheaper than what GITD plastic might have been? It just seems a waste now. Actually, the kit itself always appealed to me as a base for my dream Revell Axoid if I can paint a damn. Short of that, I'd always wanted a non-canon Kakizaki VF-1J (Love green, love the head better than the 1A) so swapping a 1J head onto the 1A with a green stripe. Just ideas really. I'd considered a 1D assembly kit for a Orbot, although doing the camo would truly be a nightmare. Popping a 1D head on the Woodland 1A would make a mongrel with that cockpit unless I could swap the 1D Assembly cockpit with a try on painting that...actually, that's 1:48, so nuts to that idea. Just dreams. Not all come true.

    Odd, how Sailor Moon Cosmos doesn't have an official figure out when it debuts on NETFLIX tomorrow. (Seen nice customs on eBay, but that's all)
  8. Radioguy
    At 8", where is he on scale?
  9. Radioguy
    Yes. Your 4th will be for cel shading. You have the assembly kits? Do you still have a unpainted VF-1J?
  10. Radioguy
    Well, if you were to buy another...
  11. Radioguy
    Thanks so much @BlueMax!
  12. Radioguy
    I'd prefer to see your review over all if you did. Consider it a public service. 😉
  13. Radioguy
    Yeah, I'd choose a standard finished set. At least to start with. 😉
  14. Radioguy
    Oh, for those worrying about the box, this now appears on both ShowZ listings: *When ordering the cardboard boxes, we will make them larger to ensure the packaging flap can be shipped without bending
  15. Radioguy
    Hrmm, not as good as I had thought. Still nice, though. I'd have bought it for just being clear red.
  16. Radioguy
    Got my shipping notification.
  17. Radioguy
    Yeah. Red fast pack sold me most, I have to admit. GITD mechanic covers too. Still looking forward to at least Valk Factory quality on the figure, though.
  18. Radioguy
    I thought that's for Motormaster?
  19. Radioguy
    The whole time I watched all three, I was thinking on what I had to do to make him a KARR. I imagine dumping that EEPROM and flashing Cullen clips on it would be the biggest hurdle. Kept thinking changing the transparent red visor and scanner to yellow would be obvious, but putting a Megatron head on him in black might be even more apropos.
  20. Radioguy
    Squats?
  21. Radioguy
    Yeah, Amazon has cancelled POs on this, but I was just given an offer I couldn't resist (a mix of promotions that brought this under $100 there), and I bit. Let's see what happens...
  22. Radioguy
    I'm even more worried now. Are you just feeling pragmatic, or relying on some past experience in a situation like this with Bandai?
  23. Radioguy
    Macross hoarding is a terrible disease. I pride myself on helping fans like yourself declutter and improve your lives with my takeaway service at very reasonable rates. Just call 1-800-GOT-VALKs and leave off the last s for saving...space.
  24. Radioguy
    Ah, a herd of Schrödinger's Ostritches. (Yes, they are called a herd)
  25. Radioguy
    LP saying now they just emailed Bandai "again". Now, I'm worried.
