    Gotcha! Just out of curiosity, have you checked 1/20th?

    Just curious, but why the Van kit?

    I don't know who you are aiming the question at, but, if it should be me, my late friend Skip made them from original decals and corrected the cowl decals as well

    Strictly a resin kit if you really want one. http://futurattraction.com/ http://futurattraction.com/6.html

    Didn't the Datsun Pick Up share the same of the same parts as well?

    Well, this movie was not exactly a History Of Drag Racing epic and it was done on a very small budget, and so was American Graffitti, and I think Dave Uyehara did a great job assembling some cars that resembled the time frame of the movie. All they needed was a car that actually moved, not a perfect, period correct restoration. This was a mule, it had to start on demand, run on demand and crash on demand. And one must also remember that the Nostalgia movement was barely going by a few die hard folks. They ran what was available and made it as reliable as possible. Only those in the know figured out that it was not exactly correct, but to the average movie goer, it was an old car that he raced. My build is not faithful to the movie car as I decided to slightly correct my build as I saw fit and took a few liberties with it. This build is more faithful to the movie car and that is fine.

    Looks like the collector market is about to take a hit!

    I would probably be the same as the current on in the kit! It is just a detail matter, not a make a blob matter! I only used the Soldier as an example that good detail can be achieved, even on smaller scale figures! I bought the Moebius Joker for around $6 bucks, since that seems to really matter to you. But, they include the Batman and Bane figures in their kits, and those are the same price as the ones without the figures.

    And they are pretty darn close!

    So, they can't make a decent mold? Moebius did it.

    How is it possible to make figures in smaller scales, i.e. 1/35 and smaller, with way better details than a larger 1/25-1/24 scale? It has just boggled my mind for so long. I am sure they have access to 3D machines as well.
  16. Daddyfink
    Not a bad kit

    Considering that they did not paint the resin Joker figure in the Goon car kit, I highly doubt they would pre-paint two generic plastic dudes in a tool kit.

    So, are we about to see a wave of GOTRB kits on ebay? People always start dumping as soon as a hint of a re-release comes out. These kits did fetch a good amount when sold and the resin replicas are not cheap either. Glad it will be available, and affordable, to the masses!

    No, what is sad about this post, is that there will be more post about this vendor, and more, and so on. I think they need to make a sticky about Unreliable so more more postings about it are made. Maybe a bad vendors sticky? They have one for out of production, so why not?
  24. Daddyfink
    Yup!
