And the real kick in the nuts with that helmet is that for the exorbitant price tag....it was a hollow shell. No type of head support, foam, or anything.
Looks great to me. I completely trust Bandai to pull this one off correctly. Look at what they've accomplished in the past. Any doubt I had of Bandai's toy mastery was lost when I got my DX Yamato.
Takatoys, can you fix or repost your images from this thread? They were awesome and very valuable to those following the mods you made, and your custom stickers as well.
Thanks!
Sorry doodz, real life intervened there for a couple of months, got new job, new car, Otakon, blah blah etc.
I'll get these added this coming week.
Thanks!
Those aren't 1/6, the Misa and Minmay in the front are CM's figs on custom stands I made. The Minmay in the back is a 1/6 scale that you can get on TMP Anime's site.
Somebody recast the standing pilot figs, I can't remember who. I'll see if I can find out.

And don't bother modding the pilot to stand up, get one of the Seika pilot sharpeners and remove it from the base. It's exactly 1/48 scale.

Well, that would be because I killed the last thread.
We don't like to advocate open downloads of other people's hard work here. Buy the book, it's WELL worth the price.
'nuff said.
I don't think it's offensive either, quite tasteful in it's own right, if a bit odd.
But, there are underaged members who surf our forums after all. Making them click the link Noriko provided will only delay their viewing of nekkid Japanese girl by about .10 second.
