    Hello, I know I'm a little late. But I just discovered this 1/48 Southern Cross Spartas thread now. Does anyone know if the 1/48 Southern Cross Spartas kit is still available for purchase. Because, I'd like to purchase a kit. Thank you.

    Hopefully we'll get news of the western release soon.

    I just got one. I already have the biggy, and just needed a lil one for my 1/100s

    Totally preordered. And yes those are the correct arm packs

    They have their own approach to it... The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has a profound love of theme naming. In most cases, all the ships of a particular class follow the same theme. You've got the usual ones named for provinces, towns, islands, peninsulas, etc. Then you've got the ones where they really went ham with it and every ship of the class is named for kinds of rain, or wave, or ocean current or just different adjectives stuck in front of a common word. <Something> Dragon, <Something> Moon, <Something> Whale, etc. China does something similar, with all their submarines of a type have the same name. All the boomer subs are Long March #, and all the regular ones are Great Wall #. Maybe farther down the road, once some of these emigrant governments in Macross are more established, we'll start seeing more idiosyncratic naming schemes for their warships. (Though I guess it's pretty hard to maintain a theme across potentially hundreds of warships.)

    Rumor says that Nanjin has also be contributing into Factory Entertainment 1/6th figures (from what I read on Collector's Freak) and the the uncanniness of the face sculpt and paint on his EXO-6 Star Trek line is very similar (either it's dead close or totally looks like total abysmal), So when EXO-6's Trek license expires on 2027 (the beginning or latter 2027 is unsure), then there is a very good possibility that he might go with the Factory Entertainment line. Edit after further though: After reading further in the JP figures on Collectors Freak: It's $350 USD for each and the the pics are very doctored by AI since it's based on the statues that was created by Iron Studios (you have to look very close to see the teased pics). Will it be like Star Ace in which they do a real s*** job on the products and charge what ever the prices they feel like? Mondo's Tri-clops is up for grabs if anyone wants it tomorrow, but you got to pay the tariff fee and shipping. Is it worth $255 USD for a "Limited Edition" figure? It's you're call.

    Nah, this is what happens when Dave Filoni has creative control. IMO, there's not a lot of difference between his output and an AI tool's. They both mindlessly regurgitate and recombine preexisting material into a glorified mad-lib story because they lack imagination. The AI does it because that's all it's really capable of. Filoni does it because he thinks that's actually a good way to write. Everything has to be a crossover, a callback, a continuity nod, or a cameo. Every character has to know, meet, or be related to every other character with the fewest possible degrees of separation. I'm sure Filoni didn't think it out any farther than "Well, Mando's going to an ice planet so we have to have tauntauns". One more callback in a promo that's been nothing but.

    Beat me to it!! So good. It’s up for pre-order at the usual sites. Looks like the correct arm armour packs for the TV super?

    There's a lot of nice posing options there.

    This is my first post, and it looks like a mega dump of the progress so far. Follow Haotian Niu or DONW999 on facebook and Instagram for WIP and videos demonstrating mechanisms. Now to the main thing. I know this thing is unpopular, otherwise there would have been Bandai or Yamato/Arcadia toy already. And to be completely honest, I don't think it has any right to be. It looks weird and buffy to say the least. But in a round about way, it also looks kind cute. So I decided to have a go at it. Took me about a 2 weeks to get where I am now, which is most of the transformation mechanism is completed. Studio Experten(http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/va3/index.html) is a huge inspiration, which I got the links from this forum. Thanks a lot. I cant find any high quality Studio HalfEye version, and yes, I have looked through the achieve, which is the low quality I was talking about. So far, I have replicated the Experten mechanism through their photos, Great, GREAT reference. However I also notice there are quite a few very weak points that requires a lot attention. The printed model is very flimsy at the moment. The torso transformation mechanism has these for swing hinges, that are almost impossible to secure. The hips are on these, in comparison, tiny parts. I can't imagine their 1/100 scale is any more sturdy. Other than those, I also reinforce the wings some and developed the best possible printable ball joints. There are many things that need revision and I can see this would be a long and arduous journey. But I promise you this, I will finish it.

    Looking forward to more.!

    Sad, but I guess Culture-style ship names don't come off the same way in Japanese

    Pretty sure there's been alot of it, but it's been years since. I'm too lazy to dig out my Strike-Hikky, but here are some from others that I can still recall: Hacchaka has this static from his 2020 review : https://hacchaka.net/archives/52052122.html Here's MarkH's attempt from his yt-video at 12:39 time-stamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yHcRqCMykg snapshot sample: hope these help you out! add/edit: here's a couple of recent ones from Robolabo's video at 11:05 and 13:17 time-stamps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dojg1jYJSCc snapshot samples:

    It's definitely original toy-accurate! But I think general consensus is that the original Devastator is the worst of the combiners and kind of a mess, especially from the back. Whether toy supremacists or toon supremacists, people seem to want a cleaned-up and idealized Devastator.
