edstuff Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Whoa whoa trooper, Invid are the Robotech or Mospeada license territory and Bandai doesn't go there. Also, if they stayed in scale at 1/90ish the Invid would be bite sized. I'm afraid Hi-Metal R toys are Macross only and as of right now, just the first arch of Macross. Well somebody needs to make some gosh darnit! Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 My wife appreciated your compliments. She told me she wanted to appear in another video around the time the Monster was confirmed. After she had acted as a background in the Makuroso video some of the comments were about it being sexist and unfair to use a girl just as a background so I figured she should have more of a role the next time around. Since the Monster is both simple and phallic it seemed like the ideal review to let her have some fun with it. Since I knew all the features in advance I did most the writing and she did some fine tuning and some ad-lib. Man the feedback has been all over the map on that video. Some people definitely take their toys very seriously but it's my hobby and i get to have fun . You're welcome. I'm glad she got to hear the positive things I had to say about the review. By the way, does she handle your toys frequently? She seems to have the knack for handling toys properly, as seen when she moved the arms so that the joints don't get stressed in the wrong way. In other reviews, sometimes I cringe at the way they manhandle their toys, especially expensive ones. Anyways, I hope both of you don't take the haters too seriously. Keep up the good work and continue having fun as you see fit Quote
RocketGTR Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I really enjoyed your wife's review jenius! As was stated before she does have a good speaking voice. Got a good laugh out of it. And happily mine arrived today! Only a couple more hours til I get to go home and crack it open. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Us Mospeada fans could only dream of Bandai getting a hold of the license to do all the mecha..sadly..now it looks like it's gonna be Evolution Toys... Quote

Oh if only. I just don't see how ET has what it takes to improve upon what toynami/aoshima/CMS already produced. Quote
edstuff Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Ordered mine! Woo! Used PayPal credit and now gonna put some toys on ebay to cover it. I got 6 months to figure it out Quote
Professor Dire Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I think someone asked for this pic: Ahh there it is. Thanks, to you and your lovely wife for the excellent review work. Quote
beatsing Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Ordered mine! Woo! Used PayPal credit and now gonna put some toys on ebay to cover it. I got 6 months to figure it out I like the hwr more than the Glaug. I think you'll enjoy it too. Quote
arbit Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 My wife is awesome and always happy to hop in front of a camera. The comments section of the video is pretty humorous. Lots of people had fun with it so that's cool. Some people got very angry about it which is inexplicable to me since the thumbnail serves as a pretty decent warning. Someone who is clearly struggling with English keeps trying to leave a profanity-laced comment that essentially says that if he wanted to jerk-off he'd go to porn sites.. I think the humor was lost on him. Hey, over-the-top toys deserve an over-the-top review. Gives new meaning to Boobytrap. I think someone asked for this pic: We need to see the 1/72 Monstar scratch-build next to these. If you havent seen it. Quote
edstuff Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I like the hwr more than the Glaug. I think you'll enjoy it too. The pics of it next to vb6 did it. I always passed on it cuz it just seemed a little off. But this one is a must have Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 My review is up! I figured it was appropriate I pull out the big guns for the video... you'll see what I mean. In the meantime, here's my scale comparison Is that a California accent? Kinda reminds me of a Philly / Delaware thing. Quote
edstuff Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 A friend of mine came up with a really cool idea for displaying it. Once I finally get a detolf setup he told me to put some spent shell casings around it's feet. I think that'll be pretty awesome. Just gotta see what caliber works best. Quote

derex3592 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 ohhh---good point! Hadn't thought of that! Quote

Thessair Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 The 7.62x38mmR used by the Nagant revolver might work as well. I'm picking up my Monsters after work today and I'll give them a look. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I'm gonna have to dig around in some of dad's old brass to see if I can find something interesting... Quote
jenius Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Is that a California accent? Kinda reminds me of a Philly / Delaware thing. She's a Southern California girl. She wasn't trying to do too much with her voice but to me it sounds like she was channeling the girl from the Adam & Eve commercials you hear around Valentine's Day on the radio. Love the idea of some shells near the monster or used in a diorama, good call. After handling this toy some more I really really really hope we hear about more destroids soon. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Not to conflict with any of Bandai's upcoming Macross releases, I hope there is a preorder for a Destroid in October for a January release. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 And I hope its the freakin Spartan or Phalanx and not the two we ALWAYS seem to get! Come on Bandai! You're on a roll! Keep it up! Quote

It was an awesome review. I'm sure you both had a blast doing it. I kept expecting to see '1-900-MONSTER 3.99 a minute' flashing on the bottom of the screen. Quote

edstuff Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I was assuming .45 or even 44 mag Maaaaybe 9mm even but assuming that as the smallest. Don't have my monster in to tell yet. I'm hoping I didn't throw away my old 44 brass when I moved but wouldn't be surprised if I did. Quote

Despite all of the supposed hate I tossed at the VF-1's (and the 19... I do honestly hate that thing) I'm looking forward to any fixed mode HMR Bandai can produce. They've knocked every one of them out of the park, as I knew they would. Quote
Thessair Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I'd kill to see them release a Queadluun-Rau, but I would really weep like a little baby if they put out a Gnerl. I love those things and I never could afford the John Moscato kit. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) +1 TV Q-Rau in Hi Metal R line and then I WILL have to buy the Max TV VF-1A and I'll die a happy man. HM-R Gnerl?? icing on the cake! Edited August 9, 2016 by derex3592 Quote
Big s Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Is like to see the rest of the tv and dyrl mecha, but a gnerl packaged with a cool stand would be awesome. Quote
beatsing Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 The pics of it next to vb6 did it. I always passed on it cuz it just seemed a little off. But this one is a must have Me too. Don't like the vb6 short barrels and weird feet. Quote

Yes more destroids bandai Dunno much about artillery but do the shell loading at the back look small for the size of the barrels? For plastic shells, koto used to sell bullets and shells that might be big enough but requires painting and doesn't look as good as brass. Quote
bbrain Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 My review is up! I figured it was appropriate I pull out the big guns for the video... you'll see what I mean. In the meantime, here's my scale comparison: omg.. i read the thread here, but i just now watched the video review. best review ever brotha! gotta show my gf this one lol Quote
Professor Dire Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) 400mm shells would be 4mm at the 1/100 scale (Natch). I will have to take a look at the footage of the MKI firing to see what kind of extraction base the "brass" has. Addendum: After watching this: I see that the MkI uses a smooth cannister shell with no extraction tooling. The MKII is a newer model relatively and may use a gas, atomized, and/or hypergolic propellant. I sort of remember mention of an advanced propellant method being used.

Agent-GHQ Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 image.jpeg Yeah I'm keeping the shipping box. how many pieces are in a case? if one, those fukkers from AmiAmi might as well just ship them with the case Quote
