The writer for this proposed Voltron movie looks like he's about fulfilling the live action fantasy of 80s fan boys. "He is adapting "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" for Joel Silver at Warner Bros., as well as the Green Arrow pic "Supermax," also at the studio. Marks also has "Street Fighter" in the works at Hyde Park and Fox." And what the heck is the reviewer from LatinoReview thinking when he says that the script is a homeage to the Japanese and American versions when the lions are made out of car trunk parts? Just rename the movie Junkotron then. And I think they’re stretching it a bit with the multi-ethnic characeters, all they need now is someone in a wheel chair and make Lance gay to make sure all demographics are covered.

Nope, that's not the upcoming 25th anniv. battle pack. That version came out early last year. I picked that version up for the SS and SE figures, but as you can see the 25th anniv. version of espinage SE looks totally detailed compared to this version. This pack is based on the old 80s models, I just wish they packed SS with his proper swords, backpack and bow & arrow set.

Welcome to the thread valkyrie13, I know of only a few hard-core cel collectors on MW, but the collection you have there is top-notch. Your cel of the Hikaru VF-1S and Misa I saw for sale previously on another site (or from the same scene but another frame) but was too expensive for me and that Flashback cel is real nice. Looking forward to seeing your other cels.

The poseability of the figure while having the ride armor on looks great. I hope the Toynami version comes close since that is the only figure I am in need of to complete my Robotech collection from my days as a kid.

Flash Gordon: Saviour of the Universe Edition
baronv replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Super-camp. Just remember it as a kid and seeing the bad flying wings effects and loud costumes. Saving graces of the film? Princess Aura and of course the soundtrack. If they ever make a Flash: The Fastest Man Alive movie based on the DC Comics super hero, need to tweak this movie’s them and use it in that movie as well.- 35 replies

I do hope that that gold trim is just for the prototype and goes back to the yellow color scand noted. I also hope that the color is not that pinkish and that the flash from the camera made the coloring look so light.

Recent additions from Comic Con 2007. Cel of "Evil" Guyver Aptom from Bio Booster Armor Guyver and two dougas of Wonder Woman and The Atom from the Super Friends cartoon.

I liked the Game Cube just for the exclusive Resident Evil games, Zero and the RE 1 update. Glad I didn't have to buy it since the lil lady had it to play the Sims and Paper Mario and then I took it over and got my zombie fix for it. -
Well I'm glad the o-ring and thumbs have been modified. That was my main problem with the original figures I had as a kid. The thumbs always broke after repeated use placing the guns in their hand and then once it's gone they become "non-combatants". The o-rings broke on mine I think since I liked to throw them in the pool for their "under water" missions and then the rubber would get dry and brittle and break. The only Sigma 6 figure I did get was the Storm Shadow since I saw someone modify it to look like the 80's SS and I have it to modify at a later date when I have time.

Man, I just realized now that I did forget to have the VF-17 added in the shot. Dang. I'll try and scan tonight or tomorrow since there are more takers for this project. As noted, the piece is huge, the two sections fill up my cel collection case which is able to handle small posters so I am unable to scan both halfs in one try on my home scanner. I would take it to Kinkos, but after buying two new golf clubs and paying insurance premiums this month I am on hobby spending-lockdown for a while. Valkyrie addict, the piece was done by glane21 from MW, he takes commissions. His other works are here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...&hl=glane21

Can anyone help me in finding the name of the show/dvd that showcased on either PBS/History Channel/Discover a few years back that portrayed the competition between Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics and Northrop/McDonnell Douglas in building, testing and getting the military to contract with them on the F-22. I remember it being a really nice documentary and haven't found it on DVD at stores.
-
That would have been nice, I would like to have had Flash, Torpedo, and Rock & Roll since they were my very first Joes. For Steeler and Wild Bill, then the Dragonfly and Tank would have to come out with them. Only things I see at TRU is the dang old Viper Pit 6-packs.
-
Does Walmart do pre-orders for MPC Starscream or would they list it online? I forgot if they listed MPC Prime on their site.
-
I'll have another go with the scanning and I can separate the image into four segments for whomever is interested (Dante74) since I have to scan each board twice to get each side since my scanner is only set to handle 8x10 sizes. I'll save it as a .tiff so it's crisper as well.

I commissioned the attached artwork from Glane21 a while back and someone suggested scanning it in at a higher res so it can be colored in and possibly submitted as the front page art on MW. Well I finally had time to scan in the large 22 x 16 artwork into my little scanner. With the Photoshop skills that some of the MW members have here I'm hoping you guys can help in cleaning up the piece and coloring it in for the MX community to see in it's full color glory since this is a truly nice piece Greg did showcasing all the major Macross mecha. To help fix the blurring on some sections, I scanned the pages so someone could just overlap the non-blurred sections over the blurred areas.

I think your referring to the Banpresto Claudia Grant figure? -
For those previously looking, the Robotech: Protoculture DVD set is back in circulation after being hard to find for the past year. Just picked one up at Best Buy. They sell it online on their site as well as on Amazon.

I feel that the Dreamcast did have a lot of good games, below is the list of the ones that have been rated very well and I noted with the asterix my personal DC game favorites. I got the DC mainly for RE: Code Veronica since it was exclusive to the DC at the time and then Soul Calibur. Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Crazy Taxi* Crazy Taxi 2 Dead or Alive 2* Fatal Fury: Mark of The Wolves Grandia II* Headhunter Hydro Thunder* Jet Grind Radio* Last Blade 2 Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes* Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes Metropolis Street Racer NBA 2K2 NFL 2K2* Phantasy Star Online Quake III: Arena Resident Evil - CODE: Veronica* Shenmue Skies of Arcadia* Sonic Adventure* Soulcalibur* Spider-Man* Starlancer Street Fighter Alpha 3* Street Fighter III: Double Impact* Street Fighter III: Third Strike* Tech Romancer Virtua Tennis 2K2* Tokyo Xtreme Racer Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 Unreal Tournament Vanishing Point World Series Baseball 2K2 -
Nice work, is that just a redone CMS figure or did you use another figure?
-
I can't wait then when the 2-pack SS and SE comes out, do you know when it's suppose to be released? I think the neat-o factor Hasbro did was the mail-away Storm Shadow un-masked they did a year or so ago, I really like that figure.
-
Finally saw the 5-packs at various Target stores and some single carded figures, and after initially wanting the line I am passing on them. The coloring was off on some of the items (Commando Snake Eyes) or the revamp (hooded Storm Shadow) didn't wow me. I like espionage Snake Eyes the most but can't find him single carded, and I'm stretching to get the wave 1 Storm Shadow but I don't like the trim they added to his outfit along with the dang thing sandals. The only other figure that kinda wowed me as the Cobra infantry trooper, but not that much. Maybe if the 5-packs were for $19.95 but not $25 worth I think. They are popping up now, saw them at a couple Targets so far.

Just at Target at the Irvine Spectrum this morning. They had the following 6” Titaniums: x1 War Within Starscream and x1 Rodimus Prime. For the collectors looking for the 25th Annv. G.I. Joes, they had x2 of the Cobra 5-pack and x1 of the Joe 5-pack. They also had x3 single card Commando Snake Eyes and x2 hooded Storm Shadow. I only picked up the WW Starscream for my kitbash to turn into WW Skywarp and I only want the Spy-style SE and original all white SS. So get-em while their hot!
-
Cool, thanks Alpha OTS. Next time I see a Starscream at Target I'll pick one up for the kitbash.
