Help me out guys. Is the Valsione a gigantic girl mechanoid thingie, like an Eva, or is it just a fighting robot with a girl head. The kit is confusing.

The robot mimics the pilots' motions using something similar to the G Gundam Mobile Trace System. The anime face is part of the package. Also, the pilot complained that her dad's terrifying SRW2 end boss robot wasn't cute enough.

You mean the Valsion, the red clawy thing I had to destroy in a previous mission. Yes I can see that.

Ignimbrite posted:That's designed to go on the Dark Horn so I don't know if it'd actually fit on the Gun Sniper Being designed for the Dark Horn didn't stop Leena; the Leenasniper already sports two apiece of the main gatling (sans belt) and 3-barrel beam launcher at top left, and actually supports it all pretty well on the HMM. And everything for the HMMs seems to be 3mm pegs and slots, so go nuts mix-and-matching with add-on packs, Transformers (Legends/Scout-size) weapons, weapons from the Tomy/Hasbro 1/72 Zoids, and so forth.

Although most zoids little nubbins are the same size. It'd depend on how it connects to the body.

So, I'm curious, how are the Bandai 1/72 Macross Frontier kits? I've been eyeing Ozma's Armored Messiah for a while now, but I'm a little worried about the stability of it. Has anyone here ever built one before?

I have built that exact kit and think it's great. The design means it's much more involved than, say, an MG. The plastic is also thinner out of necessity, so it's probably more fragile, but mine's held up well and hasn't fallen apart like people sometimes report zeta gundams doing. There's also very minor parts-forming involved (some interior support pieces and the hands off the top of my head).

They were in scale with the 1/400 Gundam Collection figure line that never sold that well here. I wish they had brought over the tabletop game that you can play with the 1/400 toys though.

A thing I was thinking about translating on the side ended up being super tedious, so I went back to translating manuals. I don't even remember what people wanted me to translated, but I had a WIP for the MG GM 2.0 so I figured I might as well finish tha-  what the gently caress why is there so much text for a gm DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE OF EFSF MS posted:The Goal of "Operation V" was the Development of MS I really wasn't sure on Operation V since the wiki can't seem to decide if it's called that or Project V, so I ended up going with what was used for the Origin translations. The other two subsections are titled "A Comparison of the Development/Operation of a Mass-Produced MS and the Principality of Zeon's Zaku" and "Concerning the GM". I will get to them... eventually.  Also some dude on eBay was offloading a bunch of manuals, so now I have this huge stack. I can actually do stuff like MG God and Master now.

Oh, hey, it's German Fenice.  Just by coincidence, I was painting my HG Fenice Rinascita yesterday! It didn't come out so well in the photo, but after I used some anodized paint to change the color of the beam mantles, I went over them with some sparkly nail polish and the result looks pretty stellar IRL.

Considering they've only ever done so in deformed style, I cant imagine the nightmare a gunpla designer would go through to make a faithful version that can transform and combine without any of the ABS plastic shattering horribly. Seems like a job for those premade Robot Spirits toys. By the way, if you're'r going through SRWOG1/2 make sure to beef up the SRX squad; they enjoy the usual advantages combiners/transformers get in SRW games (mainly that they can both tank and dodge, get to mess with unit deployment limits, get more wespons with ammo, and get three pilots' worth of crazy spirit skills). If you're playing the ps2 version none of this is a big deal, but the GBA versions can be pretty tough. The Fairlions are also pretty good (and as far as femme mecha go they're nice to look at), I didnt use them because I really dont like Latooni's arc, though.

To be fair, there are far worse prices than $175 per large metal transforming robot.

Volks made some sick non-kit SRWOG stuff, I think the best (and rarest) is the Grungust, or so I've heard.Neurolimal posted:Man, does anyone else really hate it when a companies' wacky april fools gag is something you actually want/to see The Nendoroid people had this problem two years in a row, where the cry of "I wish that was real I would buy the hell out of that" was so huge they ended up making them for real in the end. Last years was a Fundoshi set for your Nendos so they can be dudes in various loincloths and it's good as hell.
