    Interesting, Hush gets a plastic coat vs. Gambit with his cloth one. Wonder why Mafex differentiates here?

    I understand where you are coming from with that assessment, but judging by size and price alone doesn't do Sentinel's Legioss any justice. I don't have it in hand yet, but just looking at the images it becomes apparent that there is a level of engineered sophistication and intricacies while still retaining a very good aesthetics and proportions of the subject matter. In that respect I would say that Sentinel's offering provides better value for the price even when it is a smaller toy or perhaps because of that. Sure the DX VF-1 has solid engineering and is also visually appealing, but with its bigger size why did we not get a rotating cockpit and working egress hatch or double jointed knees and forward pivoting arms? Also don't forget that missiles and strike/fast packs have to be acquired separately if you are after the full effect. Retrospectively looking at it that way, it makes the DX a pricey half-hearted attempt by Bandai in contrast to Sentinel's efforts on the Legioss. I got a payment request NY already with the 24th being the deadline for payment. Slightly surprised that Amazon Japan has not triggered yet.

    Nice classic pose, but those Iron Man boots are still backwards and need to be twisted around.

    So far I have had no issues with the condition of packages from AJ. The items I got were always shrink wrapped to a cardboard that is stuck to the bottom of the box.

    It seems Bandai's GunPla devision has got something up their sleeve for MG. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/457984

    I now belong to an elite group of people that is a proud owner a Lamborghini. Sunstreaker is a great MP - aesthetics, proportions, articulation and engaging transformation, it is all there. A stark contrast for me, because prior to this I picked up some of the older MP+ carbots to round out the collection. The earlier era of MPs are far too simplistic and compromised in many departments and so the experience quickly becomes boring and leaves one wanting. I hope we eventually get a v2 of Sideswipe, the current one looks to outdated to be placed next to Sunstreaker.

    So it's Wing Zero EW... talk about underwhelming. With the screening of Hathaway's Flash around the corner I am surprised Bandai is not releasing a heavy hitter like the Xi or Penelope to tie-in. Do we still have free slots this year for more MG Gunpla releases?
  8. lechuck
    They have, e.g. Unicorn, V2, Crossbone or Thunderbolt Gundam.

    Next Master Grade Ver.Ka announcement incoming (29 May). Please let it be Xi Gundam or G-Self https://nextphase.bandai-hobby.net/gunpla.html

    He did return, Wesley was there at the Riker and Troi wedding scene in Nemesis. How and why he was there was never explained though.

    I think I am looking forward to this. But "meh" to the Klingons, they have been done to death now. How about the Tholians as a main antagonist for a change.
  12. lechuck
    Nope, this is classic Kingpin from the comics.

    MP-39+ Spinout getting a release in November. A pity that no Decepticon derived counterpart exists, I think that would be something I could see myself buying.

    Hopefully Mafex will issue an alternate standard Magneto down the line. Purple cape and short hair for the win!

    The MAS-01 Optimus Prime also has them. Never been a fan of those wheel casings sticking out on the side of the legs, but Ultimetal does it best.

    For those that like Bayverse Transformers, MPM-10 has been revealed. I must say that I do like the stop motion advertising.
  17. lechuck
    I wish they would have done Star Convoy and Super Megatron proper as MP, rather than repurposing mass retail toys.
  18. lechuck
    I have been looking out for MP-29+ as well, but find the current going prices very steep. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for at manda?
  19. lechuck
    Haha, if one were gutsy you could walk in to work with that Spider Bracelet and throw people off that walk around with smart watches.

    Who here has MP-44 and is still impressed with it? Six months in - I still have OP v3 on my desktop and really enjoy picking it up and messing around with it on a frequent basis. I can't think of any recent toy or model kit that has kept me entertained for this long. I think Takara has done a masterful job here. I know some are hoping for a MP-44+ toy deco version, but I would actually prefer to have a -44D - for Devastation version. To differentiate it would have cell shaded painting, no chrome and the Autobot insignia with white backing. Accessories would include an alternate accurate game-head as well as S1/S2 heads, Ion Blaster, Energy Axt and a Star Saber. Trailer and all the other parts would be omitted.

    Gundam F90 II arriving in July (P-Bandai release). https://www.taghobby.com/archives/442981

    I am lost, what exactly does "Concept 2" bring for the Freedom?
  23. lechuck
    Even Hound won't fool me - it took a while, but my order from NY finally came through.
  24. lechuck
    Woah... that Spider-Man! I can't quite discern it, but the icing would be if that new body has a ball-jointed torso instead of the usual ab-crunch/waist swivel system.
  25. lechuck
    This looks much improved over their initial release, that is some serious overhaul KC have done. Kudos to them for striving for improvement and already going about it in such a short time. @Kuma Style when you get the time could you please go through all the articulation, it would be much appreciated. This VF could be king when it comes to poseability, very interested in the dark knee section, waist and that new shoulder/armpit joint.
