Zephyr's Thread ver. 3.14a

[MEDdMI]

Look at what TMM found at our local toy shop! Took my time building it. Will likely add a little detailing at some point. Today we spotted Celes, but that one's already in TMM's Loot Pile from BBTS. Just waiting on Windam now...

Rayearth is cool. So many stabby points though. XD

 

[Zephyr]

Yeah, it's very pointy, though mostly in the fire!

 

[Zephyr]

Hot dog, this modding shit is easy.

 

[Zephyr]

Yeah, that was pretty good.

 

[Spin-Out]

what JAM Project song was W's theme

 

[Zephyr]

Being a DS game that was functionally a beefed up GBA game, it didn't have one.

 

[Zephyr]

In which the party stands in a cluster for two entire rounds and loses a considerable amount of HP, like idiots, because we're too busy arguing about where chocolate comes from.

 

[Zephyr]

AMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGO!

 

[Zephyr]

With the experiences I had with the Rayearth kits and Gradion, I was fairly worried about how Eldora V would turn out, being a combining robot. I guess Good Smile must've taken some feedback to heart, though, this lad's joints are tight, and a number of the high-use swivel joints have a locking mechanism in assembly so they can't just slide off with normal use. I'm impressed, and more hype for their Voltron now.

 

[Zephyr]

...well, it only took me a year and a half to get around to Selece and complete the trio.

Looking back at the datestamps for Rayearth and Windam was a mistake.

 

[MEDdMI]

I did mine and the combined rune god, but apparently forgot to post about it.

 

[Zephyr]

God, I never did get around to buying Combined Rayearth, but at this point I really don't know if I want to do that kit for a fourth time...

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Yeah, building the same kit over and over gets old.

::: quietly ignores his five Master-grade Strike Gundams, six High-grade Zakus, and shelf full of Astrays :::

 

[Zephyr]

Those at least don't have the arms fall out when you look at them funny.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

One of the Zakus sheds parts if I look at it wrong, but it's a really old kit (technically it's not even a High grade because the grade didn't exist yet, I just lump it in), so that's just age and wear.

Never actually built a Moderoid myself, although I have Voltron and the Thunderjaw on preorder. I keep waffling on the Big O.

 

[Zephyr]

I dunno if Eldora V is indicative of an overall quality increase, but it's definitely a fair bit nicer than the regular Rune Gods and Gradion. I know I heard some iffy things about some of the Patlabor kits that I think predated the Rune Gods, so I'm hoping Goodsmile's just finding their feet and thankfully doing it a bit quicker than I expected.

I've been eyeballing Giant Robo, Getter Dragon, Gridman, and got Voltron on preorder as well.

 

[MEDdMI]

God, I never did get around to buying Combined Rayearth, but at this point I really don't know if I want to do that kit for a fourth time...

On the plus side, the feathered wings it has have some really sweet range. Will try to remember to take pics.

 

[Zephyr]

Yeah, the big wings are part of the draw, but the rest requires me to finally pull the trigger on Getter Dragon, for silly SRW reasons.

 

[MEDdMI]

Who's really motivating whom? Lol
