Now THAT's a labor of love! π I like the eye detail.

I just have some alternative stands already, don't need this one, and don't expect to ever use it. It would just be a shame if someone had a 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia/Valkyrie Factory and needed one while mine sat in a box gathering dust.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

I could take it leave the Jet Jaguar fig, but anything that makes Megatron look like Godzilla and not just dark gray Grimlock is a win in my book.- 9341 replies

Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV

This reminds me. I should really document my "interpretation" of the transformation to make it accurate in all forms, with ms paint or something, before I forget everything I thought up.

Yeah, this is 100% what the Siegfrieds should have looked like the entire time. Those forward-swept winglets never did look quite right, and what a miss it was to not have the protagonists use a delta-wing VF in a series named Delta. They fixed it in the second movie with the VF-31AX Kairos Plus at least.

That is a VF-1D tho. She is dressed as in Ep 27. For the first song. I'm too in for Shammy. ATM I don't remember any episodes where she is wearing that color of uniform.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Caught the latest episodes of Cultural Exchange with a Game Centre Girl, See You Tomorrow at the Food Court, and started a new series Ruri Rocks. Pretty happy with all three, TBH. Ah yes, the ever-present threat of magical bowling balls. How could I forget? π -

Yeah, Iβm just curious about how well they get that grumpy face

I don't tend to use a lot of stands for anything, but I was pretty happy to get one with the Fugu version. I just never could justify the price to get one of the original Yamato ones, but I'm happy to have one if I ever do want to use it for something.

Macross 7 definitely works better as a weekly series. It's not something that benefits from watching multiple episodes in one sitting or a full-on marathon to get through it as quickly as possible. That slow burn start of very nearly 20 episodes is a pain in the butt, in no small part due to the early lack of musical variety, but it does a good job of getting all the main characters established before the plot proper kicks off with the creation of Sound Force. I'd actually recommend watching Macross Dynamite 7 and the Macross 7 movie The Galaxy is Calling Me!. They're much tighter, self-contained stories than the main series and some of what goes on there is a little bit important later on. At least in other side stories.

Slightly OT, but I will soon be in receipt of a minty fresh copy of the Deluxe stand from the Fugu (which is a KO of the Yamato launch stand), and which I have no need of should anyone be in the market for one...

As Arcadia is arguably better in build than Yamato, at least for those valkyries that have been released under both brands in the same scale, you can rest assured it doesn't meet the Arcadia standard. In my opinion, it's >80% the way to being comparable.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Gundam almost never actually does that, though. The RX-78 was intended to be an actual prototype, but most of those that came after weren't even technology demonstrators. They were simply showy ace custom units that were in no way intended to refined into something practical, like the Double Zeta, the Nu, or the Unicorn. One of the few exceptions there is the RX-178 Gundam Mk.II from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, which was an actual production model that never got mass produced due to the Titans huffily cancelling their order after three of the four trial production units ended up in the AEUG's hands. The one infamous actually-mass-produced Gundam being the Victory from the series by the same name. In both the game version and novel version of Macross 30: Voices Across the Galaxy, Aisha does imply that she (and by extension, SMS and the Shinsei Industry dev team) planned to take the YF-30 design into further development towards a production concept. (Aisha fairly gushes about how the container system's going to revolutionize Valkyrie design.) It's not so much that they didn't have a choice after the events of Macross 30, it's that they were always planning to market the YF-30's innovations not tied to Richard Bilra's personal obsession. The novel version mentions that various SMS branches have been collaborating with the defense industry in a way the military no longer can in order to get their foot in the door of that lucrative market for themselves. -
Frontier is a real Money maker! You can still 'hop' on to a nearby country like Hong Kong, Macau or Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Check out the tickets first before you go. As for Malaysia, there's still quite a lot as there's 2 cinemas showing it.
