  1. They usually list just after 4pm as well.
  2. Here you go... Ozma VF-25S Reissue Countdown Timer Good luck.
  3. Given the amount of out-of-work animators, concept staff, actors and production staff, HG should remove their current 'creatives', hire a few actual producers, maybe a director, and exploit as many desperate experienced writers and production staff with their own equipment as they can. Promising them a cut of the profits... There's even a good chance of being able to work on that up-coming Hollywood live action movie! After all, Robotech is a big-name brand, playing to a packed room at yearly Comic Cons etc... Mwuh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... (<- evil executive laugh).
  4. Up for preorder tomorrow.......IS GUYVER!!! And the extra display from the GSC website
  5. If you head over to jenius' anymoon.com and read the various reviews, you ultimately realise that there is no 'best' option. They all have their various faults.
  6. Curious to know what happened to the tail wings... And how it's one of the coolest Gerwalk transformations when the backpack and arms aren't transformed. Unless that answers itself.
  7. Thanks Seto. I got through those books as a kid, but they weren't amazing.
  8. Did The Sentinels comics ever actually finish the story? Or cover events in 'End of the Circle'?
  9. Blue adjustment: Hue -13° Saturation -45% (previous -38%) Lightness -10% (previous -3%)
  10. So the adjusted blue color in the right image, is it about right?
  11. Isn't final color choice usually up to Kawamori? This is a hand painted prototype.
  12. Thanks jenius. How many people were actually in attendance throughout the show?
  13. No, I only make individual parts for modding. In my spare time which I have increasingly less of. I used to talk with a member of FansProjects about 5 years ago. At the time they were all full-time toy designers who made their initial kits on the side, just doing it out of passion and trying to keep a low profile. I'm not sure how they operate now, but if they have gone independent then I guess they must have a business model by now. But still, if so it would be nowhere near as restrictive as Hasbro/Takara's. Quite intriguing what they're doing now really... Dinobot Headmasters etc. The high-end 3P groups like FansProject, Mastermind Creations etc may have good designers and can even deliver at a similar price-point (eg Feral Rex), but I'd say Takara probably has better. Hatsui was pulled off Masterpiece and assigned to the AoE Movie line... typical deluxe quality level toys. I'm sure the same thing would happen to any of the best 3P designers if they had the same restrictions placed on them.
  14. So you're telling me that when you made your Transformers Shapeways parts you were doing so on budgeted time frame? Really? Fortunately, I design mine taking however long I want. The 'restricted budget' I was initially referring to is the amount of money Hasbro allows their designers to use for each toy or wave. A third party does not have the same constraints. When Shogo Hasui was designing MP Lambor he was expecting a price point of 10000jpy, when he was told they would be 6000jpy he had to simplify it to make that goal. A 3P maker wouldn't be constrained by that.
