Has anyone read Attack on Titan? If they ever make a season two are there going to be giant robots in it? Or are Titans the fantasy equivalent of Gundams, and thus there will be no added robots? Inquiring minds want to know.

TTerrible posted:Its easy to make articulated models when its all just flat panels with no detail on. I picked up a himock for the scale modelling thread challenge and I do not understand the hype at all. The Himock is literally designed to be the most generic thing possible so that you can kit bash it. It's a target dummy. You picked the most basic kit made in the last ten years at the scale with the least detail and don't understand why the cooler ones are cool

They're not as simple as you think though, the more complicated ones have full inner skeletons and some of them have ingenious construction to allow for cool things You just don't see it because the armor goes over it and covers up most of it

Avenging Dentist posted:I think his point is "I don't like how the robits look." Yes, this is exactly it. I think they look like cheap action figures because they're large flat expanses of coloured plastic. I like the ones that have been made into dioramas or whatever and have been painted. I just do not get the attraction to $200 happy meal toys.  vs No ammount of "but but but they have multie types of plastic on one sprue and a fully articulated skeleton  " changes that.

gotta agree with TTerrible here. Red robit looks like a big toy, regardless of the level of detail, and also p dumb Like I'm also not interested in paying $20 for the red one The more detailed ones are cool though

"GW is bad" does not imply "Bandai is good" though. For what it's worth I kinda like the Geirail because he reminds me of Bastion from Overwatch though.

TTerrible posted:Seriously? Some of the prices people talk about in the Gunpla thread are insane. yeah they're not all $20. They're sized by price and the larger more detailed kits regularly clock in at $100+ Guy Goodbody posted:It is unpainted. GW models don't look very good unpainted and without glue either The quality of GW's models is irrelevant. They're overpriced and most of the new kits are overworked spindly crap. I wouldn't buy that red gundam though, because it looks dumb as poo poo, not because it is better than an unpainted GW model gently caress not everything is about comparisons to GW TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jan 27, 2017 |

Noone buys the $100 robots and assembles them on an action base. That is not a common thing at all.

I think it's a little disingenuous to say "oh yeah they're all $20," when those particular models are -to me anyways- fairly unimpressive and usually not what's shown. The 1/60 models are cool as poo poo though, and well worth what you pay, even if they aren't some shining example of dirt cheap models

You're being incredibly disingenuous. Lots of people spend hundreds of dollars on them and just snap them together on a stand with their transparent glowy lego swords. I'm not saying people don't put a ton of time into them and paint them (I said as much several posts ago) but those don't get posted here much.
