  1. Those Transformers look sweet! Wish the toys of the 80s were like those! I'm not in the Transformers scene, so I have to ask: what does 3rd party Transformers mean? They're not officially licensed products?
  2. Shhh! I'm enjoying his replies. Sounds like an alien visitor trying to blend in. "Thank you very much, male human!"
  3. The beta looks nice, but I'll stick with the brute strength of the alpha.
  4. The looks and posing abilities of the renewals are so good. So much better than the crap that came before. That's probably why I get so annoyed when I receive a shoddy product from Bandai. I know they can do great things when they actually give a damn.
  5. Don't feel too bad. It was listed as an opened and used item. I don't like getting used items anymore, as I've been burned too many times. Just be patient and an unused one will eventually show up.
  6. Great pics! Almost made me forget what a tool Luca is.
  7. Mr Color tan S44Be sure to sand down the seam line from the mold and use a little bit of putty if needed.

    Spectacular! Times like these make me wish I had sprung for EMS shipping...
  9. Thin guitar pick works best for me. Don't get a thick one!
  10. Heck yeah! I can't wait to see how that turns out! Never worked with custom parts like this before.
  11. Goddamn that gunpod is amazing! I'm envious of your big gun.

    Sold out at HLJ now. Reduced my orders to only 4 Regults so I have some room for the inevitable scout and missile variants from Tamashii web. Just speculating but I really hope Bandai releases those.
  13. Hehe well you did teach me a lot of what I know now. Haven't used pencil shading in a long time, but I do love the clean precision it affords. Maybe I'll go back to it for the Arcadia VF-4G as I don't feel it should be as worn looking as any of Focker's rides. Get some yellow arrow decals, commander type head, and make a more accurate 2012 version...

    That looks like one super uncomfortable cockpit. Bandai is saving that for the HMR Macross Plus line.
  15. It looks a little better with stickers and panel lining added.
  16. A Saburo photo shoot sounds amazing! Ohhh that's a thought. I think there are much more talented folks right here on this forum that can do way better, if you're looking for a commissioned piece. Grey is the base plastic color. Just painted over the stabilizers and rudders and nose. Too many painted surfaces on a transforming toy make me nervous during transformation (re: VF-0A.) The shading should be called postshading, I think. It was just added right over the plastic.
  17. Hehe no no I'm not really going to throw out. Throwing a valk in the trash is criminal! Unless it's a Bandai V1 VF-25 of course. There's enough little niggling imperfections that have bothered me over the years and Arcadia's reissue will finally let me fix them. This one will be relegated to battroid mode. The skulls and other markings are decals from a VF-1S kit. The rest is painted. I might consider it if I pick up a third VF-4...
  18. If you're going to mount only one pair of valks together, it should definitely be the 19 and 21! Two beautiful and wildly different designs representing the most intense pilot rivalry in the franchise. Do it!
  19. My old Yamato VF-4 I detailed way back in the day. I plan on revisiting this once I get my Arcadia reissue and doing a better job. Maybe I'll toss this one in the garbage bin.

    I'll clean them out when I swing by later this month.
  21. I feel this toy is a metaphor for the show that birthed it: lots of potential flushed away by cheapness and/or incompetence. The only thing I like about Macross II is the theme song. Kaneko Mika was (and still is) a cutie! Oh, and it's mercifully short.

    That's such a ripoff. I'm willing to sell my extra for the low price of $100 and 24,300 cents!
  23. Best stands ever!
