    Hey Ted. Wow great comparison with a classic (and Japanese) Inbit kit! Just a few thoughts: the box looks exactly like the kit I had back in the late 80's, but the resin color and casting method are totally different. I remember mine being made of that very common 3-minute (Alumilite) resin and the parts were much cleaner. It might still be genuine, but I'm also wondering if maybe someone might have kept the original kit parts and replaced them with a home-made cast. In addition to the mono-eye, the Retppu kit has better under-foot detailing too, IMHO.

    I wouldn't expect anything beyond a slight massaging of the tooling to improve tolerances. The hideous transluscent recycled plastic will, in all likelyhood, be back for future variants too.

    While not purely SOLO news, there are rumors that KK is getting the boot. No confirmation as yet.

    Looks like it's set in the 80's, which means we could see many more iconic G1 Bots & Cons. Like!

    I guess I do! I (and probably many others) had hoped that Bandai would seize on that no-brainer opportunity, but it looks like Captain America will have to intervene.

    See, now GaiaGear I'd pay to see as an OVA and buy lots of models from that series. Those designs were insanely beautiful and put many of the current Gundam designs to shame.

    Has Bandai ever really deleted a series from the UC timeline before? Don't get me wrong, Victory has a LOT of problems, but there were one or two mecha that I think would be interesting to have/scratchbuild, if only to have alongside the Victory units.

    That's actually... Really nicely done! Just goes to show that a live-action film can actually work...With a few small tweaks here and there. I mean, if they can do Pacific Rim, they can most definitely do Gundam.

    The real star of Top Gun was the F-14 Tomcat, and apparently it's not in this new one. We have to make due with this Cruise guy.

    I think Alex Becker is spot-on. Delivery like a sandpaper dildo, so fair warning for those with delicate sensibilities.

    And a rather successful one at that.

    Sh*t is getting real. Mill is up & running, lathe is on its way. Muahahahaha!!!!

    Wessex Transfers. Very professional and excellent product!

    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?
