I attended many cons he was a guest at and his lines were insane. At C2E2 some years ago the chatter was he had more people waiting for autographs than the MCU guests.

Is there a good site for third party 1:6? Like onesixthkit.

Gonna order that Lady D as soon as I’ve had enough to drink. I rather not go through eBay.

Tbf not everyone keeps up with everything everyone else does or is a fan of. All I remember from PR behind the scenes stuff is that the blue guy was gay and got bullied a lot and the green guy was a dick but got better. I think the yellow one died, but I'm not positive. I think the red one got arrested for something a while back.

I'm glad they made up. That's awesome. I had no idea because the last I heard about it was years ago when someone else mentioned the whole bullying thing.

It sucks that a guy you like died, and it sucks more that he died in this way, but being mad that other people don't keep up with your niche of fandom details isn't really fair either.

Try not to get upset at people for not knowing the whole story because not everyone follows everyone else's fandom. To phrase it better, always assume ignorance over malice.

She's not 1/6 I think, she's 1/12 or whatever the figma size is. No clue on where to buy them though. My usual haunts are onesixthkit and tnsfigures but she's probably available at toyswonderland? too. All places I've placed orders and had nil trouble.

When it comes to slandering someone over provably false information, maybe do your own drat research into if he did or did not do these things.

It's not loving hard. The fact that people picked up the 'oh he bullied David Yost' poo poo and ran with it because of the bias against him is part of the problem with his image I was talking about before.

Ignorance does not absolve anything. Do not use it as a shield.

Be a loving adult and look into it your own drat self if its worth enough to talk about. Otherwise all you spread are lies and hate and I will take that personally about an actor who just took his own life for reasons that are not our drat business.

Sadly impossible. They're meant to be suit accurate, which destroys that possibility. But I'm fine with it- I've wanted a suit accurate Dragonzord since I was a child. I made a whole post about it here and everything.

They are actually- about 8 or 9 inches, to go head to head with the Godzilla stuff. All of the monsters and Zords are being scaled with the Godzilla line, so I'm obviously happy about that.

They did the God, Nobel, Master, and Fuunsaiki to reasonably modern standards a few years back. In a true surprise move they did the drat Devil Army a little while ago, because a variant of it was in Build Divers Re Rise. But no real sign that they were planning to go deep into G Gundam until this.

So, good news: This seems like a good sign that they intend to make modern kits for the whole Shuffle Alliance in the near future.

Bad news: It's P-Bandai. So each of those kits will only be available from the Bandai Website for a limited time.

I last did some over 20 years ago but have got the bug again. There are some stunning designs out there, with a use of colour that’s almost mind blowing. And like you say, it’s just a nice, chill way to unwind during an evening.

Kind of

They're all scaled to look the way they did in the show, which are in turn scaled to match the Godzilla line. So, the Megazord and Godzilla are used as the Baseline- those two should come eye to eye or nearabout, Megazord might be a little taller.

Dragonzord therefor is a little shorter than Megazord, and Tyrannosaurus is a little shorter than Dragonzord- at least when crouching.






So in theory if it all works out, this is where their heights would line up. It's why combination is impossible for what they're going for- much like with Transformers, you cannot have perfectly screen accurate G1 designs that can also transform, or especially combine.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha, no. Although they have been a lot better lately at getting some things out (Jean, Black Suit Spidey, classic Iron Man), there’s still a bunch of stuff that keeps slipping back further and further (BoP Harley just came out 3 years after the film, hah). Not as bad as Mezco mind but then what is?

I’ve just been buying two of each for troop builders. The only one I don’t have doubles of is the grey Viper leader, since he’s in a 90 dollar 3 pack with two standard Vipers. (If it goes on sale though..,,)

Don't know if any of you gents are looking for older Mythic Legions, but I have a few I'm trying to offload:

Faunus: $225
Elf Ranger: $120
Magnus: $100
Sir Girard: $100

Those would be shipped to Con-US at least. If there is interest, I can grab pictures for anyone curious. All are 'sealed', at least they haven't been opened. Mythic Legions don't really do shrinkwrap/tape so...
