    That's one of my all-time favorite MG kits. The box illustration looks amazing with all the panels in spread-eagle mode, but I leave all the Psyco-frame parts closed on the actual kit, otherwise the kit just looks like it's trying too hard and comes across as silly. I need to modify the handle on the shield also.

    Another insightful article. http://www.superherohype.com/news/409511-last-jedi-spoilers-rian-johnson-on-reys-parents-snoke-and-more#/slide/1

    I don't recall if I said so explicitly up until now, but I loved it. Saw it twice so far, will likely see it another 2 times in the theatre if time permits.

    Also, new information about deleted scenes! http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-the-last-jedi-deleted-scenes/

    I'll just leave this here.

    Great review, thanks for sharing! The pragmatist in me thinks a lot of the issues can be fixed by just paying attention to details. Screw holes could easily be plugged, dies can be "massaged" for better parts-fit in key areas, the sequence of assembly and painting can be altered. Paint apps can be improved, and plastics can be changed. A much better product can be had by tweaking just a few little things; no need for major (expensive) re-tooling. Also, while it would likely come at the cost of transformation, these can be customized and repainted just like Valks. Lots of potential for someone who's not afraid of a fixer-upper.

    I've been contemplating something, having seen the film a second time.

    Bingo!! Add to this that many people cling to notions/ideas/beliefs which are comforting, but not founded in truth or reason... Only to be blindsided when reality comes-a-knockin'. Rian Johnson took a baseball bat to many of the sacred cows in the SW universe, and I for one would like to thank him for having the guts to do so. Darkness rises, and the light to meet it. I could spend a whole podcast on that one sentence alone.

    Great little article. Contains spoilers, though. http://www.slashfilm.com/the-last-jedi-defense/

    Just as an FYI, I will be having a 1-day holiday sale on December 26th with anywhere from 10 to 30% savings. Prepare your piggy banks accordingly!

    It's definitely worth seeing again.

    Bandai kits actually have beautiful, vibrant colored plastic... Very much unlike this, which looks like its plastic comes from recycled drinking cups or something. Granted you can't use polystyrene for a toy, but still, that translusency really kills the otherwise great look of the figure.

    Baby Crabs have just hitched a ride on Santa's sleigh, so most of you should get them before Christmas!! In the meantime, here are the destructions for your downloading pleasure--which need hosting because the MW interface is giving me attitude.

    Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I've been casting my tiny brains out and will be able to ship come Monday. I'll use the weekend to bag, pack, and fill customs forms accordingly.
  17. captain america
    And just to follow-up on my update, casting has already begun in earnest, with excellent results. The down-side to all this casting is that my floor looks like a fruity mess!

    You tell me.

    Thank derex3592: his builds, his pic. I take full responsibility for the advertising slogan, though. It's a great time to be a MOSPEADA fan!

    The holiday season is upon us: tremble in fear!!
  21. captain america
    It begins!
  22. captain america
    Send me a PM and I'll transmit the payment info.
  23. captain america
    Hey guys! I've got the pre-requisite orders and can now accept payment. I'm updating the shipping information in the first thread. When all the payments are in, I'll begin the silicone surgery.

    Indeed, I think some people grossly underestimate the cost and complexity involved with manufacturing, especially when subcontracting is involved. Just an FYI, know that the toys that you see in big retail stores are loss leaders, so night-and-day difference with highly detailed collector toys. With that said, ET deserves praise for scaling-up their Legioss so far beyond the published stats. In fact, it comes closer than any previous Legioss toy to the anime style sheet size comparison. Based on the size of the pilot in the Gosu cockpit that Ted posted, it's probably still a hair undersized, but close enough.

    Thank you for all the awesome photos, Ted! I'm glad to see that it has markings and those will definitely enhance the appearance once applied. I wonder how it would look next to the Gosu.
