    The T-Bar system has to go, period! I epxect this from anyone making a new VF-1 toy in the size class of Yamato's or higher. It's sad that one of the "simpler" VF design has to rely on this outdated method for leg deployment I would like to have fuselage that aligns properly with the backplate and no void "airy" spaces behind it, allowing for proper seat tilting and egress hatch functionality and none of that faux extra parts things that we have to use.

    The Xi Gundam better be the MG Ver. Ka for next year and nothing else!

    Nice! I like that there is no more filler pieces necessary at the back of the leg and the whole chest area looks more snug in fit compared to the Yamato/Arcadia implementaion. On thing that has got me intrigued and hoping is that horinzontal cut just where the cod piece is. I really hope that is a waist joint, that would put this this realisation above what we have now.

    Yeah, I am not really 100% convinced with Katoki leg thing argumentation. HGUC version of Unicorn or the Nu Gundam Evolve Mode look proportionate to me, granted one doesn't transform and the other has a more subtle extension. For PG I would have thought they could find a better middle ground between transformation and proportions. And isn't Katoki behind V and V2 Gundam, those aren' very leggy designs. You know that ridge on the biceps has always bugged me. It seems like it was intended to extend too, but was completely forgotten (even by Katoki himself) to be implemented.

    I was listening to AFN Wiesbaden radio this morning and had to laugh. They were mentioning the trailer and how the team was hyped for it. Anyway they were saying that amongst the team was a private that apparently after watching trailer asked if "Ultron" was a Transformer! I guess some fictional universes are not easy to distinguish. Good thing I wasn't drinking coffee at the moment.

    Well if it indeed is a PG, then I am shocked that a lot of the problems with the MG have seem to have made it over. - leg to arm ratio still looks bad - you still have that plastic bit interfering with inner elbow articulation when in NT-D mode - and still nothing seems like it locks and holds together

    BRITISH LEYLAND FOREVER YOU PUNKS!!

    Heh, from a European perspective your complaint is funny to read. I'm with you, thought it was good show, but would never give it a triple "A" ranking. Story and characters are nice, but when it comes to the robot mecha-pron eye-candy Turn A does not deliver at all. I noticed on MW there seems to be a somewhat burning passion for Turn A compared to other places, maybe it's conditioning from constantly defending Macross 7. Wish I knew they were selling for $30 somewhere else, I think I paid on avarage something like 40€ - 50€. But Gundam Unicorn was released like every half a year, so it wasn't that bad and looking back at the OVA, each episode has been a worthwhile investment.

    Caught these previews for Ultimetal Optimus Prime from tfw2005. Snap fit magnetized armor! And normally I am not a fan of lights and sounds, but for this I would make an exception. Sadly I do not have the funds for this.

    The face of the Basara figure reminds me of Gingerbread Man, a bit eerie in a way.

    F-Type vs Corvette - tough one, as I like them both. Have not driven any of them, so I can only really judge the aesthetics. Being a biased Jag driver I would have to give the nod to the F-Type. There is something about the modern and clean design style of Ian Callum that clicks with me.

    Hi, the lowest I know of is at NY. They are offering it for 3,620 JPY. MG 1/100 Hi-ν Gundam Ver.Ka - HWS Expansion Set
  13. lechuck
    Happy for those that wanted a PG Unicorn Gundam. I guess that means no more new MG anouncements for this year. This probably explains why there was no MGs to coincide with OVA #7 release. Still waiting for a regular release OVA bare bones green Psycoframe Unicorn and Banshee Norn.

    For me it's water slides > good stickers > dry transfers If the plastic backing of dry transfers wasn't so stiff and as cumbersome to apply, then I would rate them much higher.
  15. lechuck
    Well it's an oldtimer that that they have revamped for modern times. But have you seen the MBs, modern cars that have a slate tacked on to the dash. Really ruins the cockpit.
  16. lechuck
    Which MG kits where those? I am pretty sure that every MG since Gundam Mk II Ver. 2.0 has had this approach in the manual.
  17. lechuck
    You do realise that Optimus Prime has the same "brickish proportions" too, just like in the cartoon. Optimus Prime is coloured - just like Star Saber - after the cartoon (see a pattern here). Takara doesn't really care if people outside of Japan have any connection to Star Saber, the pole was not directed at Americans, Europeans or you or anyone else. And I fail to see what the iconic status has to do with the actual toy implementation? MP-10 might be "the greatest toy of one of the most iconic characters", that still doesn't garantee it to be the best toy of line. If you like Star Saber, that's great. If you don't, that's perfectly fine too. But please stop spamming this thread with these childish denounceations and move on. The whole "spacebrick" thing was maybe funny ten pages ago, now it's just stupid and annoying.
  18. lechuck
    Wow, Star Saber looks so much more refined as a toy compared to Ultra Magnus (and not because of the lack of colours in that image). Star Saber definitely stands a good chance of dethroning MP-10 as best MP yet.
  19. lechuck
    Err... Bandai has been doing that for quite a while now with other MG kits and not just for Turn A or X.
  20. lechuck
    More detail than MG? I prefer to have my Gundams with a nice, solid inner frame with cockpit and pilot figure, which doesn't look like plastic matchsticks slapped together to emulate a frame.

    I was excited, then I went to the site and saw 1/144 scale... meh
  22. lechuck
    What exactly does the logo represent, can't make it out?

    Amazing what an integrated waist joint can do for the battroid. Now if we could only get some double jointed knees, torso joint and forward pivoting shoulders in future valks... Pic request, can someone do some close-up profile shots of the head (no fancy angling). Would appreciate it, thanks.

    Why is everybody acting stupidly suprised? This is what he looks like in the cartoon, what did you expect white with black and yellow striping?

    Hate the Batsuit (what's up with all that vein-piping?) and disappointed that aestethic insparation is being drawn from DKR. Is my perception wrong? I have always seen Batman as a sleek and clever martial-arts fighter not a big brutish brawler.
