    Bacon is worth fighting for.

    I'm not sure what "going for" means. People might be asking for those prices, but in all likelyhood they're selling for much, much less.

    Tomino moreso than Bandai. Notice that Victory doesn't even appear in the timeline pic that no3Ljm posted above. It's almost like they're trying to erase it from existence altogether.

    Good news!! People who missed-out on the first batch will be able to get these at proper retail again. And they'll be able to spend the money they save on my update set (coming soon, working on it, no release date as yet.)

    The beam rifle on the RE is too large as well; the whole thing is pretty much a mess. This is the most dynamic CCA mecha and they turned it over to Bandai's potty-training division.

    Very cool build-up of the F91 2.0 kit.

    No comment.

    In fact, I think that the way the arms were posed in the first pic didn't flatter the silhouette. Also, I think the blue shoulder armor tips are too inclined and extend out too far, possibly preventing the yellow shoulder armors from being posed in a more pleasing (wider at the bottom) slope. Even if that turns out to be the case, it would be an easy fix.

    Considering his track record, I dare think his intervention would do no harm, and possibly help the movie.

    It costs relatively little to re-pop plastic kits when you have the dies already done; like comparing an apple to a watermelon with regards to resin models. I'm not surprised at all, considering the challenge it was to get enough orders to justify the 1/32 Legioss masters. Never recuped my investment on that--and it was one of the hero mecha of the series. Ask Mike Salzo how well his 1/32 Gurab did.

    In light of the fact that enemy mecha generally have a poor sales record among Anime toys and models, have you considered the idea that such a large kit or toy would not be cost-feasible?

    Agreed, something looks off about BigBird. More pics are needed because at the moment it doesn't look nearly as dynamic and elegant as the HGUC kit.

    In 1/12 scale?

    I can like a series, or at the very least its mecha, and not agree with certain plot elements of that series. Further, I can't speak to the agenda (if any) that the creators of MOSPEADA may or may not have been pushing: it was a one-shot series (and an OVA) that never became a franchise that spanned several decades. Were it to receive a modern reboot or sequel, that would be a different story. What irritates me (and many fans of Star Wars) is the blatant pushing of identity politics both on and off screen, many times at the expense of good writing, good casting and an almost callous disregard for the fans and their wishes... Fans without whom the franchise would never have flourished as it has. The Marvel movies too are owned by Disney, have fans that go back further than Star Wars, but they manage to keep the politics much more low-key with focus on great writing. In my estimation it's the emphasis on identity politics that's hurting Star Wars and dividing the fan-base. Some of us would prefer they kept that stuff to themselves and maybe not make some egregious (and preventable) casting blunders that may end up harming the franchise. Some people will like Star Wars and support the franchise no matter what. I'm cool with that. But as long as I can vote with my wallet I will, and sometimes to get change you need to implement some tough love, and that's my current stance. That is all.

    I'm going to concentrate on the Sentinel figures for now. If it can be determined that there's demand for Beagle stuff at a later time, I can accomodate. Be warned, though: I have a far more ambitious project in mind for next year.

    I wholeheartedly agree. You know what I think? I think it's possible that they only hired actors who would kiss KK's butt and fall in line with the SJW narrative, because, let's face it, there are way better choices to play Han. I'm with this guy.

    Actually... I was referring to the "upper receiver" area where they omitted the brackets and shortened it on the figure vs. the line-art. I'm guessing that the circular cut-out at the back is a concession made to fit on the bike's wheel. Regardless, I can do some creative cheating to make the gun unit look a tad more impressive. Whether that means a longer barrel or not remains to be seen. Possibly a slightly beefier stock barrel interchangeable with a larger unit to impress the ladies.
  20. captain america
    The front fairing of the bike is totally different. Back end has a different shape, no side exhaust and one central thruster. Helmet shape is different also. Of course, that's for the original design. How much more (or less) gets changed for the modern redesign remains to be fully seen.
  21. captain america
    I may have something to say about that.
  22. captain america
    I think he makes some good points.

    You bring up an interesting topic. In my estimation, the beam weapon that was included with the Ray figure is too small as compared to the illustration, and the figure looks silly using it as a pea-shooter without the armor. I always thought of that gun as a fairly heavy unit (too heavy for an unenhanced soldier to wield) having enough punch to breach the armor of even a Gurab. I'm actually considering sculpting a better one for the figure. It will increase the cost of the set slightly, but I think it's worthwhile.

    I think I know how Avengers 4 will end

    Also, since I'm slowly coming back out of retirement... I had posted this back in the MOSPEADA thread a few weeks ago, but I may as well make it official: I intend to make an upgrade set for the Sentinel 1/12 MOSPEADA figures which will include the following: -RPG launcher as seen in Aramaki-san's illustration -saddle-packs for the Ride-Mode MOSPEADA (3pcs) -Water bottle/canteen -a GALLANT H90 -A dash panel decal/sticker... Because the toy is rather plain in that respect. Price is still tentative, but pretty sure the set will be under $50 USD.
