    In other FSS news it is good to see that the manga is getting another chance in English. Originally it was published by ToysPress here in the states and was pretty hard to find when new, and is damn near impossible to find now. I m glad it will officially be available again. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-07-04/titan-manga-newtype-to-release-five-star-stories-manga-in-english-starting-in-march-2026/.226320

    Just got the notice the my Bloodsucker is ready to ship. I have been really impressed by this line and this one looks like it won't disappoint.

    NIN's soundtrack will be the star of the film. I do still enjoy listening to Daft Punk's work in the Legacy soundtrack.

    True; there's only so much of Planet Dance one can take! I loved those, especially Dynamite 7! The story and songs were really good!

    Would like to see that as well; after all, they did bother to design and build them to some degree. Admittedly, I'm getting the feeling of the "special hero group to save the day" vibe from the continual "PMC" stuff they've been doing for the past few series. It was beginning to make me feel that the regular forces were not considered to be competent to handle anything other than being "cannon-fodder". I even began feeling that way about Macross 7 with Sound Force. At least with SDFM and MII, the heroes were part of the regular UN Forces and not PMC's with mecha you wouldn't find in said forces. Maybe I'm being a bit persnickety or too narrow in my field of view here; that said, would like to see the pilots stand out in what they can do with a good mech more than seeing what the latest model can do while brewing coffee, prepping your tax returns and choosing your lunch order for ya! Yeah... I agree. That paint scheme really works on that!

    Tron v 2.0, I would say. Just like Windows versions function in a similar manner but don't necessarily look alike.

    *jealousy going on right here* Seriously, nice job!! I'd love to do that to a 1/55 someday! Meantime: next build coming up: Stay tuned...

    Secrets of the Silent Witch had a pretty decent episode today.

    If you insist. šŸ˜‰ Starts around here and continues across the next few pages. Also made some racer schemes, a Pixie Squad version of the 25, and then wandered off into some Delta alternate liveries. Some cool stuff by others posted there as well.

    First video review of the Bloodsucker....šŸ‘šŸ»

    At the very least, link it here. It's definitely on topic!

    Caught the first of the new episodes last night - Part II of "Hegemony" - and I have to say I still hate what Strange New Worlds has done to the Gorn.

    Silent Witch was okay today. But Monica and her speaking issues can get a bit annoying.
  24. Papa Rat
    Hahaha.

    Thanks, the teal scheme has always appealed to me, Frontier fleet has a good sense of style. I won't spam it here, but I made battroid versions of the scheme and played with a number of other imagined liveries down in the Fan Works section under the "3D Collections" thread, if anyone's interested. My stuff starts around page 4, and some others have posted cool stuff there as well.

    Maybe Iā€™m a freak, but I like the whole putty, sand, prime, sand, putty, prime, paint loop. It just feels good once it all comes together. I work it like a meditation. Maybe having a kid has honed my ability to be patient and work patiently? Lol

    Macross II: Lovers Again was another one where the members of the main cast in the military all use the same model. Possibly the most strict example, since the only "ace custom" variation is a special gunpod on Nex's machine rather than any performance differences. It is rather sad that we don't get to stick around and see emigrant governments actually adopt their respective 5th Generation machines, though they do get acknowledged here and there in novelizations and games and manga and the like. (It's also worth remembering that all of Macross runs on broad strokes continuity, so there isn't any such thing as "unambiguous" canon anyway.) There's definitely an element of "the hero must have a distinct machine" that I'm sure the toy partners enforce... though as of Absolute Live!!!!!! even they seem to be dialing it back somewhat and making the ace custom machines more closely resemble the production ones. (That might have something to do with fans thinking the VF-31A looks better, too.) That said, I think the tendency to have the protagonists equipped with the latest and greatest VF ahead of the actual military is pretty silly. It kind of worked in Frontier, because the story's theme was heavily about abuse of corporate power and influence and SMS's parent company more or less ruled the titular fleet indirectly through sheer financial power and even SMS's staff were in a way dehumanized as disposable. Delta doesn't do as good of a job with it, since the whole premise is lazily copied from Frontier even though Xaos is not anywhere near as wealthy or influential as SMS or its parent company. I get the feeling Macross's creators have started to cool on the idea of PMCs too, since the materials for the second movie increasingly depict Xaos as incompetent and other PMCs as criminal. Hopefully once we get away from PMC protagonists we'll see more mass production machines getting to shine. NGL, that kinda rocks. I'd buy that in a DX. We've gotten a couple New UN Forces color schemes for the VF-25 thus far. The two main ones that show up most often are essentially the same as Alto's VF-25F and the generic SMS VF-25A but with New UN Forces markings instead of SMS ones. There's also the unlockable New Game+ colors for Havamal in Macross 30.
