Yeah, pretty fugly in my opinion. The orange, okay, that's passable, but whose idea was it to let brown get in there?

Turdburner.

I'm over at TFW2005 too (TransFan84), and yeah it gets pretty heated there sometimes. It seems a lot calmer here. To me, anyway.

Still waiting on Takara-Tomy MP-11 Thundercracker and Skywarp and especially Megatron v.2. The Decepticons need their leader.

i was going to get in on the grimlock rush but nah i'll pass... i was let down by the possibility of a mp-10 re-release hoax

Takara-Tomy MP-10 is being re-released. It's the others that aren't, those being MP-11, MP-12 and MP-14.

It's such a gamble with these imported, niche items. I made sure I got my GX-64 as soon as possible because I didn't want to sleep on it like I have with other things, miss my window of opportunity and then have to pay outrageous secondary market prices to get it.

Live and learn, I guess. It's an absolute steal at nearly half off, though. Great for people who were still on the fence. I admit that I thought it would've sold better than it has.

Holy crap! If you were on the fence for the GX-64 Yamato or want a second one, here is your chance it's on sale!!

Ffffuuu....

Oh well. I got mine and I'm happy with it, but that still stings.

Thank you, Warrior.

So does this include a Yamato that is in scale with it?

Chris

From the pic, it looks like the previously released Yamato is in scale with it.

I'm sure Yurisha and older sister Starsha are in the works, and they'll both be excellent. I'm just hoping that Megahouse doesn't cheap out on Starsha's sculpt and not give her any legs just because they're never visible under that super long dress.

The paintwork on Melda's helmet and visor is just spectacular. I'm so impressed, overall.

Got Melda a few days ago. She's great. Really pops.

speaking of boobages...

.. holy MOLY.

what bothers me is that her boobs are so big and her top is so low that it looks like she just doesn't have any nipples. give me an explicit version and I'd buy it.

Agreed. While I enjoy boobage too, these particular ones look really strange. Which is a shame because I think the rest of the figure looks great.

That's a beautiful figure for sure-the colors just pop out at you, but I was never fond of the character....

Her fighter reminds me of a Garmilas version of the F-4 Phantom. I hope we get toys of Earth and Garmilas fighters at some point.

I sincerely hope that Captain Okita won't be the only guy in the "Yamato Guys Collection." I'd love to be able to have most of the core characters on my shelf.

I can't wait to see Kodai, Shima and Sanada. For the girls, Yurisha and Starsha. Sasha would be nice but since her only appearance in the show was after her death, I'm not sure whether her figure would be upright or horizontal. If it's the latter, that'd be kinda morbid.

Megahouse Kaoru Niimi open for preorder.

Holy CRAP. Ordered.

Was I the only one cringing every time he used a box cutter to open the doors? Paint chips/scratches anyone?

"THIS is why we can't have nice things."

Seriously though, when I saw that I wanted to take the damn ship away from him. "Gimme that, you friggin' savage. Here, take this set of cheap plastic farm animals."

Yeah, it does. But it's nice considering the smaller scale. Something I can pick up and mess with more easily than the GX-64.

Oh please, you'll thank me like everyone else has.

I'm sure I will.

I justified the purchase with the reasoning that collecting a fleet of ships will be less costly this way. Maybe get a buncha Gamilas ships for the Yamato to shoot at, heh. Though I may spring for a full-sized Andromeda if they do one.

Damn you, Kyp. I just bought the Megahouse Yamato 2199.

Megahouse Captain Okita is out.

Plllllease MH...give us Kodai and Dessler next.

Damn straight! I like female figures too, but there are so many instances where I can't have a full cast of a particular show on my shelves because the male characters just weren't produced, period. My Captain Okita should be here any day now, and since he's part of what Megahouse is calling their "Yamato Guys Collection," I'm hoping that means that there will BE guys to stand alongside the girls. Bring on Kodai, Desler, Shima, Sanada, etc.!

Just hold down the button to start the Wave Motion Gun's firing sequence, then let it go to fire.

Glad I got the GX-64 when I did, AmiAmi is sold out now.

Chris

Dang. That was quick.

Just ordered Yamato 2199 Capt. Juzo Okita, by Megahouse.

The ship needs her captain.

Damn it, I just broke down and ordered the GX-64 from AmiAmi.

Chris

Very gooooood....

The Star Blazers version of the GX-64 is just the Yamato 2199 sold under the Star Blazers 2199 name. Now, whether that's just a sticker on the Japanese box or a newly-printed box with Star Blazers 2199 on it, I don't know. The base/stand may or may not have been changed as well. I'm not clear on that either. The ship itself is the same. Price is anywhere from $230-$280, and you can find it on most major US retail sites.
