  1. Man alive, these massive, hideous backpacks have gotten out of hand on the new Masterpiece figures. He looks so great from the front, but then I look at it from the side and my heart sinks! Thankfully they're doing Beast Wars justice.
  2. Most likely a thinly veiled concession to avoid being in direct competition with Evolution Toy's offering. It's bad form to sell licenses to two different companies to produce the same toy in the same scale and cannibalize each others' market. Technically, Sentinel's should be larger, but something tells me it'll be a smaller figure.
  3. Hard to say from looking at that image if the adapter will retrofit to the VR-052. The 52 has those side-mounted exhausts which the 41 lacks, and that makes a difference. What I really don't understand is why the saddles don't have any handles. I understand that they have to follow Aramaki's designs, but seeing as how the the boxes look even larger than the ones I made, it just seems like it would be a no-brainer to put handles on them. Without handles they'd be awkward AF to pick-up/carry when you're in a hurry, and the handles offer more posing/playing options for the figure itself.
  4. It's not so much the chest being large as it is the body being too long for its legs makes it look like a midget. The gap in the middle of the torso is what makes it look awkward, but on the up-side, the fighter mode has the most compact rear of any transforming model or toy and it does look like a quality build.
  5. New Blow Superior looks great! Legioss, not so much. Looks like Sentinel caught-on about the accessories. Wonder where they got that idea?
  6. Yup, I'm officially taking payments now. As always, people can PM me if they don't already have my payment details.
  7. First post updated. SURPRISE!!
  8. The good part is that the tracking number is on the envelope. If you can match that to the tracking number provided upon shipping, Paypal will see that there's no way a large boxed figure could have been sent that way and hopefully make the matter a slam-dunk in your favor.
  9. I will only accept these if they paint them in Transformer Seeker schemes, complete with faction symbols.
  10. We're at 21 so far. Let's get this project to 30 orders so I can begin the sculpting process. There will be a secondary bonus for those who pre-order, but that won't be revealed until the orders are filled.
  11. I saw this on Failbook earlier. Scale unknown. ...There's also this Which I guarantee will be better from both a scuplting and casting perspective. I remember just a few years ago some people came to me with Wonderfest kits they paid through the nose to get, and the castings looked like stuff that should have gone in the trash... But magic Wonderfest sticker, so totally worth it.
  12. You read my mind. Done!!
  13. Looks promising so far. Still trying to think of a little goodie that I can include with the first run.
  14. Looks like 17 so far between here and FB.
  15. Based on how fast the interested parties are chiming-in, I can probably start taking downpayments by the end of next week. Life comes atcha fast!
  16. That's such a kickass project! I hope it was completed at some point because it was off to such a great start.
  17. Correct, though it remains to be seen how much detail I'll be able to capture at that size. I have at least 2 ways to go about it.
  18. Hello everyone, In light of Sentinel's 1/12 Mospeada releases, I wanted to see if there would be demand for a 1/12 HELPER CRAB (Protect Inbit doppleganger) model. I figured this would be a logical follow-up to the Motocycle Freak accessories set, and provide enthusiasts the ability to have an enemy mecha in scale with their bikes. Here's what I'm thinking: -resin-cast free-pose figure, possibly designed to work with aftermarket ball-joints -Clear sensor eye unit -Separate beam weapon and shield which can be mounted on the forearms or the back -Roughly 18cm tall -Will include fuel soda pack -Priced at about 300 CAD (From February 19th onward) Go!
  19. I'll crunch the numbers and propose something come Monday. If you know any interested parties, please direct them to the forum.
  20. I tried offering that a few years ago. Response was meh. Maybe with the Sentinel figures out now, people would be more receptive.
