  1. Wow-that totally rocks, it was meant to be in the Zentradi Heritage colors.
  2. Thanks for the video link, I enjoyed that! Its a nice format to see the booklet/line drawings, then seeing the animation in context. Very cool. It is always crazy to see this cel, as xstoys has it in his personal collection. Wild.
  3. It is a royal pain..but .working on it! I found the data, seeing how I can load it up with current versions of apache...this stuff was from 2003!
  4. Now there is a prequel I'd watch-a fleet of those
  5. Anthony sent over another video of the warehouse inventory, I'll get it uploaded later tonight!
  6. Yes...as soon as I wrote that and started looking through some old files, I immediately noticed my mistake

    Here are some comparison pics of the Space Gandam vs the Taka if interested https://baikindaddy.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-301.html
  9. All pre-printed on the boxes. I just like the idea of their sigs on them all, gives it an extra sense of reality. And the face that they used some pre-prod looking Hikaru art, the 1/100 line is very unique.
  10. oh..there is a misunderstanding. Those boxes are all pre-signed-it is part of the artwork I threw out a theory that all the names on the sides were signed by their actual voice actors So Mari Iijima signed Minmei for the box art design I'm sticking to that story!
  11. I'm gonna say Mari signed as Minmei That M and the I at the end sure seem the same
  12. What an awesome video and review! Thank you for posting this, and look forward to seeing more! It really shows Moscato is just heads above almost everyone with his skillset. Amazing. S
  13. I had a discussion with xstoys about the head shape sometime last year...it is very different sorry about the order...top left = bottom middle, top middle=bottom left another ref to maybe sometimes getting a gunpod...who knows anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyg3sGEKG8k

    Can you elaborate? Always curious to learn more from the Toy experts.
  15. Anthony is posting in various places for more interest, so please share the word if you can. There are a few more new pics here https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1318202995390507 Just crazy how many kits are here.

    So is this an official mis-packaged valk or someone putting up loose parts? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k1077364458

    I wonder how much trouble that photographer got when they blew up the negatives. "Hey Joe...is that a Takatoku logo back there? You know we did this photoshoot for BANDAI right?!" "Oh hell just print it, its too damn late now, the Toy Fair starts in 2 days, maybe they won't notice." "They did pay upfront right?"

    The hunt for the old stuff is the the best part, you'll have fun tracking them all down!

    Nice autographed find! Do you know when she signed it? Now you just need to find the other 6 volumes to have the entire set if you ever wanted to complete it. https://macrossworld.com/macross/books/series_comics.htm
  20. Is this a poor man's Legioss and Tread? haha https://www.ebay.com/itm/255879611058
  21. Wow, that gunpod pic shows there IS a big difference, thanks for the compare! Here is the mention of the variant cockpit color from the Italian TT book In their VF-1A pic, they have a gunpod in the box. Depending how you read this, it is the 4th in the group they are showing, or the 4th in the release schedule from Taka Maybe they started making some gunpods in the later releases and it was hit and miss whether you got one or not? (nothing like another rumor)
  22. The artist Toynami used for the retro-box art is Jaime Sullivan. Super nice guy and he appears at many of the SoCal cons and will gladly sign your toys
  23. You'll now need to locate the Dark Canopy variation JVMacross 😛 http://dxrobo.com/vf-1j-st-battroid-valkyrie-1100-scale-takatoku-1983/ Gotta get them all!
  24. Very interesting-there is a 1/100 Cockpit color variant on the Taka releases...there is always a freaking variant.
