    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?
  22. captain america
    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.
