    Welcome! I can also vouch for ToyzInTheBox ... w/regard to pre-order used them for my SOC GX-88 Dairugger back in the day (2019) for a low price + free ship and no issue!

    Hmm with naming you have to determine which mode takes precedence in helping to identify the part. If fighter mode the tail assembly that houses the horizontal/vertical stabilizers, exhaust, etc. is called the empennage ... and since these are smaller (aka vernier) they could be referred to as the 'empennage vernier thrusters.' But if battroid mode is easier for identifying parts and takes priority, then perhaps 'backpack vernier thrusters'. Also, in space vernier thrusters are used for fine tuning direction, rotation, velocity, etc. of the spacecraft and as you well know battroid mode's backpack has the vernier thrusters on both ends which lends to this function (albeit fictional).

    Speaking of "cool" ... looks like it might get its propulsion using the mystical alien "Dyson Bladeless Fan Unit" technology 😁

    Interesting question ... so on large caliber weapons whether it be the main gun on a tank or a triple turret on a battleship, at the base of the large barrel is often a "turret slide" or "barrel slide" that after firing, functions as recoil and is a smaller/larger diameter than the barrel itself. On VF-1's the head lasers are called RÖV-20 Anti-Aircraft Laser Cannon's so I'd suggest 'Laser Cannon Slide Channels'. Sidenote: As I was looking through Shoji Kawamori's Designer's Notes book, in some preliminary sketches (p.76) he was doodling heads where some of them looked like single and double turret housing straight off a battleship. So perhaps the indentation on the head cannons is a vestigial design element that's obviously not needed on a laser cannon but still looks cool.

    That's pretty cool that you can transform it with or without the covers when forming Voltron.

    So does that make them ... butteries ba dum tish 🥁

    There might be some Triple A's (6x) in the Docking Base LEDs

    Yes, there is a battery compartment in the RH armpit as well.
  11. Bobby
    Yes, dip switches on left, batteries on both

    You'll need a phillips and once you remove that additional panel door you'll see 2xLR41's

    On each side under his arm(pits) there are removable panels to access the button cells. On the the display base the ground lighting have access panels on the bottom for housing AAA's.

    nanoblock did it to Sonic too... granted it's "official" but even the latest movie sequel it's been updated ... sonic-movie-style-arms could look like...

    Thanks F360!

    Well if you ever wondered why their were 2 little tiny people sitting in the cabin/cockpit of GoBot Psycho – it is Cobra on the left (LHD in Japan) and his trusty sidekick Lady Armaroid on the right! An early 80s-cross-over/re-purpose-a-design/milk-some-miles/etc. (like what happened to our legendary Takatoku redeco Jetfire)
  17. Bobby
    No it didn't, it was exactly as you surmised.

    Awhile back Baofeng Storm Model made a 1/144 Metal Robot Damashii EX-S Gundam that was ABS and diecast [LINK]

    Looks like you got all the ad-ons! 😎 Haha showing a visitor new to Gundam a Metal Structure is like setting the bar waaay high for their future frame of reference 😄 Speaking of which my introduction (and 1st Gundam) was to this "metal" build...
  20. Bobby
    It's quite a bit larger ... here's a size comparison next to PG Perfect Strike on pedestal (after Temjin conversion)...
  21. Bobby
    You may reconsider 😎 once you start messing with it, not only does it look cool... The catwalks and (clear) railing compliment the cockpit so well... (a little gif action) Plus, although the thing is so heavy the telescoping deck stand can still support it so you can do flying poses... (and then after a little photoshopping)... (and some more gif action)... It all just kinda screams come to papa...

    I agree, Sonic looks a little weird like he's wearing a tank top ... It's the arms but it might be the Mandela Effect of me having thought all these years that Sonic's arms were blue! Knuckles arms are red so why not? Even in the movie reboot they made his arms blue (flesh colored human skin arms w/little blue hairs would have been too creepy and they were already having a hard time with the live-action version pre-release). photoshopped looks a little better imo but now is incorrect ...

    Woah ... finally .... always always always wanted an AV-2 Variant! Great news!

    This childhood nostalgia (Playmobil started in '74) paired with popular licensing titles of the following decade (aka the 80's) might be a winning combo they're willing to wager. Consumers/collectors in this demographic (older w/discretionary $) might fancy the whole idea of reliving some part of their childhood slash introducing their kid to their childhood. As mentioned they recently just released The A-Team a few months ago ... This could take off with licensed Playmobil Star Wars/Star Trek/Dukes of Hazz/Batman/Ghostbusters/007/Magnum PI/Miami Vice/Scooby Doo/Tron/etc. creating another collecting genre. Sort of feels like Choro-Q for the states which could result in a FunkoPop-like explosion and K.I.T.T. does look cool.

    2 bids ... his work's worth it ... looks like it stayed local too. Would be curious to see what's inside it.
