    I picked up three of the VF-0A combos.. Might still grab two of these, but probably only one. I am glad I grabbed two of the original VF-0S releases though, so I at least have enough missile clusters to equip one of the 0As with them. On that note though, they do look good paired with one of the brown missile pods and one of the clusters on the outer mounts. That might be my favorite loadout.
  7.

    Well, not that much of a surprise, we sort of knew it was inevitable. Tomahawk better be next. I don't know what comes after blue-balls.
  10. Decals are on. Now it’s time to panel line, detail paint, weathering and do washes. I already see some areas that need more attention but I’m moving on for now. Have to admit I’m getting excited!
  11. Nah, they've been mixing and matching versions of events and designs pretty much the entire time. Macross runs on Broad Strokes Continuity, which Kawamori has sometimes attempted to explain as all Macross titles being dramatizations that emphasize or deemphasize parts of an unseen "true" history or that they're all equally true. In practical terms, it just means Macross has a multiple choice approach to the past and that designs from all versions coexist so they can use whatever they feel best fits the new project they're working on. We saw a fair bit of this in Macross 7, where the in-universe Lynn Minmay Story special that Fire Bomber was hired to work on mixed and matched a DYRL Vrlitwhai and a TV Quamzin, and of course the in-story version of DYRL? having scenes that aren't in the real version like Max and Milia's wedding. It's very prominent in Macross Delta as well, where Berger Stone's historical summation shows things like the TV series ending of Frontier, but with Alto using the YF-29.

  14. "Yes." You see, we're dealing with a character who has a nickname that is a variant form of his given name. His given name is written ミハエル (Mihaeru) which is the katakana rendering of Mikhail or Michael. His nickname is ミシェル (Misheru), the katakana rendering used for his name's French variant "Michel" (but also the feminine "Michelle"). Back when the series was being fansubbed, this naturally caused a great deal of confusion because his name was being pronounced inconsistently by different characters. Some fan subs went with the assumption that he was Russian based on the Russian sounding pronunciation of his given name and that his surname is spelled/pronounced "Buran" (ブラン, Buran, which can also be used for the French "Blanc") like the Soviet spaceplane/space shuttle program. Some fans assumed he was French and that his nickname was his actual name, and rendered his name as Michel Blanc instead. Official materials (e.g. Macross Chronicle) and merchandise have since cleared the matter up, that his given name is meant to be written "Michael", that his surname is "Blanc", and that the French variant we hear "Michel" is an affectionate nickname. That's generally incorrect (see above). A lot of fans have guessed about what the nationality/ethnicity of his Human parents might be, but AFAIK there has been no official statement on the matter. The few books that do talk about his family generally stick to mentioning that he has Zentradi, Zolan, and Human ancestry. Sometimes they get as specific as to say the Zentradi is in his grandparents generation, but that's about as specific as they get.

    There goes, probably, the chance of a reactive armor. Was expecting Bandai to reissue the VF-0S in bundel with the armor since it is the only variant animated equipping it.

    Next release: the VF-0S again.... this time with QF-22000D B https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15468/?wovn=en
  17. Here's a better closeup of Iceman's head sculpts. The ginning face in the low quality ones looks goofy af. The clearer photo looks excellent though.
  18. I honestly dislike the effects parts for Ice Man quite a lot. They could have done so much better.
  19. Mihael Blanc's real name is Mihael Blanc, and his nickname is Michel, which is pronounced Michelle. Michel is a French form of Michael. Blanc is a French surname Mihael Blanc is of Zentradi, Zolan, and French Human descent.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Only 4? We need 7, one for each mode.
  22. Looks like everything from sometime Saturday until yesterday. Including my last two reviews.😞
  23. I kinda figured that, but was just wondering if maybe there’s was something more to it, like certain fleets had a different uniform or something. I guess not
  24. When there are a lot of runners, I usually make a few alphabetically ordered stacks if the runners aren’t made just for specific sections to make it easier to get to. there are a few kits that have parts separated for certain steps though, like their VF-1 battroid that mostly had them set up that way. It made it easy to organize that one. there’s also the option of reading the manual for the section you’re working on and just grabbing the necessary runners for that particular section.
