Was googling for Tenjin's Tamashi Nations artwork, and this popped up I'd love to see an entire Macross Minus line that was nothing but prototype figures...like those first versions of the valkyries

Ditto! I regret not getting those and now the are $400 each...way out of budget Look forward to these!

I like how the SDF-1 is missing the arms

Yesterday I added it to my wishlist, and this morning I got order confirmation Did not know that is how it worked..Thanks HLJ!

Thanks for the update, will check on my order with HLJ too. doh! I only ordered the hasa 1/48 5000 vf-1...forgot to add in the plamax and it is an order stop now idiot.

Perfect...sold!

Thank you for the link, somehow I missed this before Was a great special!

so not this version http://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2009/01/replica-vf-19s-blazer-valkyrie.html but variant of it I'm going to request shipping soon will be interesting to see if they are sunburnt

I see the kite and intakes are stickers...so that explains that, and the additional blue stripes

You mean a legit normal 17? The coloring looks off from the others I've seen online. Guess it could be the camera/photos introducing a green tint. When I get them in-hand will get some better pics Any info on how to tell on the 19? What are you looking for? ( I'm the model kit guy...the toys I've not paid too much attention to) greenish tint blackish blue?

I figured they were cheap and weird enough to risk getting. With the strong dollar/yen they were $30 each. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m97182552540 https://jp.mercari.com/item/m95692071048 No painted logos, strange plastic cast coloring. Either a really weird set of bootlegs, or (let me go out on a limb here) some old Bandai DX test shots? Or better yet, test shots of bootlegs 😛 Thoughts?

wow that is just awesome

That is where the bike hits the bump, kicks into the air and starts to topple over, and they cut to the CG transformation and it lands in a hero pose.

Figured it out...there are the standard mini rubber figures, but then there are some larger deluxe versions. The catalog has the deluxe versions show, but they are custom painted

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m70089101702 There is a mini tread figure too...I don't ever recall seeing that mini-catalog. What are these figures? Just showing what the rubber figures could look like painted? That is a good variety of items!

Can't blame em..anything past M7 for me turns into a big mecha alphabet soup 😛 At the SDCon I saw people in costume and had no clue who they were...then realized they were new Delta characters. Old age is fun Feel like Scotty in TNG S - D - F - 1. No bloody Battle, Quarter, or Galaxy.

that was pretty freaking cool thanks for sharing!

Anyone know which volume has this illustration in the booklet?

Booby Duck diorama...can be yours! https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1070265384

I understand the replacement wings for battroid mode (to give that tucked up look), but why the other two sets?

Thanks for the info!

So is that big foil sticker the new Big West sticker they put on the boxes for international use? (IF this is the same box they would use for the WW release) vs the domestic market

It does time out quite well indeed! The drum marching build up in the beginning are the valks heading towards the zentradi forces The build up with the missiles on the valks displays that drum hit when screen flashes white as the pods break through Hikaru launches his missiles right when the music goes epic the high flourish as hikaru and focker's missiles hit their targets and fade out just as the ger's break in With some minor timing/shifting cuts of this scene you could hit some other big cues in the piece as well. We need a Haneda special edition cut 38 years still finding cool things!

In the dead blackness of space, that thing will stand out like a Christmas Star 😛

I think I may have figured it out-check my logic The disc 3 unused movie tracks are here. My M-4 is right there at the top, 2m59s. If you look at the BGM used music for the movie, M-4 is the opening battle sequence They reused Fate's Arrow (disc 1,track 2) from the TV series...at 2m56s (3s shorter than the M-4 track from disc 3) So my unreleased disc 3 M-4 was going to be used for the opening battle, but instead they went with the TV version. I'll have to match up the opening scene with this alternate M-4 and look for some timing cues for the sync, could be fun https://archive.org/download/AnaFTheSuperDimensionFortressMACROSSBD720/Extras/Macross OST The Complete/Scans/
