I'm sure you'll get my name

I'm sure you'll get my name right at some point. But after Rodan, I've decided to grab more MonsterArts figs. However, Josh, if you want the Mechagodzilla head you're welcome to it.

Bluestreak is one of those

Bluestreak is one of those guys whose Diaclone toy had two color variants with the blue and white one being the only one with box art. Somehow they ended up using the silver and black one in the cartoon... while making a new all silver one just for the G1 toy. It's confusing to say the least.

They tried to write around it by saying he likes to talk a blue streak and that his rifle shoots blue lightning streaks. Anyways in Japan it doesn't matter cuz his name is just Streak over there haha

They're probably going to make an eHobby blue and white version that looks like the original Diaclone toy.

Here's why Gyzozetter isn't

Here's why Gyzozetter isn't in the west and probably never will- there's quite a bit a fanservice in it even though it's specifically a kids anime. They would have to do a lot of digital editing and it wouldn't be worth it. And yes, there is "hentai" fanart for it, mostly of the teacher.

Actually, there's still a

Actually, there's still a couple more original OSM characters that need to be done, Colossus Rex from series 1 and Gamma X from series 2. I would assume that they would be released together with the new female "Terra Firma" Earthling character character in the final wave.

The curve on the SRC

The curve on the SRC Grendizer's waste is actually part of the articulation these robots have. Also similar to other SRCs is the bottom hole, that's meant to connect to a connector that attaches to a Tamashii stand. If we do get the spazers i dont think they'll be making the main one that he uses to get around with, that is unless those amazing engineers can figure out some way to have the entire figure fit in there without detaching him from the waste.
