Were you uncomfortable with BBTS? I know they have a delay compared to others, but they gave me some absolutely amazing customer service when I had an issue a few years back, and very much earned my business... except for when I find an item elsewhere for substantially less money.
-
Yeah, I was keeping quiet, but definitely remembered that. FWIW, my BGC figs are the only Yamoto items that I legit play with here and there, and not just have as display pieces.
-
That's really disappointing. It probably doesn't actually matter that much. As much as I LOVE the Sentinel figures, I just use them as display pieces. I think that the B2Five figures can be considered legitimate toys (and partsformers), but other than them, I don't think a single collectible that I've purchased has been anything but a display piece since the Yamato BGC Motoslaves... but still disappointing.
-
I seriously love bad-@ss female heroes, and love the BGC designs, but I'm starting to feel like I'm an outsider in the fanbase because I DON'T want them over-sexualized.
-
I'm still hoping for a regular one, and for the Bulldog too. But, truth be told, it's all about the DREAD...
-
Gorgeous work. Definitely hope you make it available, whether for free or purchase. Looking forward to printing a couple.

Consolidated Megazone 23 Toy/Model Thread for 2017-2018

While it wouldn't account for the full height difference (maybe 1/2 at most), shouldn't the ankle on the right be extended? -
As for the Moshow stuff, it still just looks to me (both original rendition and slightly more streamlined one) like they're trying to take Sentinel's design and tack on as many bigger guns and more more more more as they can. I'm still going to buy it, and hopefully love it, but it looks like it could use some paring down.

Was just digging out Kaneda bike and Otomo to take pictures of this.

I am absolutely giddy excited to see versions of the MOSPEADA that I've never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing this! Now, if I can someday come across the sidecar version mentioned in the Imai files...

I'm not sure what you mean by this, so would love for you to explain. I asked a question about people's thoughts on a specific series, which I am... let's say, pessimistic about, though I have yet to read it (I buy the trades, generally). Your response was just a comment pointing out your opinion of Robotech licensing in general. A fair statement, but not really relevant, and more of your general disdain for Robotech, which seems well documented here. (I, obviously, don't know you, and have nothing against you personally, or the opinions that you share, even if I disagree with them on some occasions. I think I just get frustrated when people venting their hatred over a property seems to get in the way of any genuine discussion... additionally (full disclosure), I'm reading your reply on the same day as reading a reply to a motion for judgment on the merits in a case, with a similar argumentative style, so, hey... visceral reaction)

I was referring to the MOSPEADA, and not the LEGIOSS.

I understand that you hate Robotech, as you make clear in all of your posts (that I have seen); this was not the purpose of my questions, though. Additionally, Robotech licensed works have shown quality, at times (I think Invid War had a high level of quality, by way of one example that comes to mind); just how stunningly, unprofessionally bad other works have been overshadows these. As to originality, I think that Simon Furman DID use some original ideas in his run, and not just "put(ing) existing characters and set pieces into slightly different configurations from normal." I have not seen any sales numbers to suggest that the works with originality have undersold those without it. Titan's business practices are... enigmatic, in my view. My point with Easton wasn't a lack of originality, but just the lack of quality that we both mentioned. In that sense, yes, he fits into the Tommy Yune pack of nostalgia over quality. This, in my view, is a commonality to all of his licensed work. It is not just Robotech, but also Power Rangers, Transformers, M.A.S.K., etc.
-
Has anyone been reading this? Thoughts? I thought that Easton was shockingly TERRIBLE on M.A.S.K. I feel like between here, M.A.S.K., and Power Rangers, he kind of rides on the nostalgia already present, rather than the quality of his own work.

I hate that this is such a rip off of Sentinel's designs... and yet, take my money. I want to own this.
