Company name seems to be Wave-BJ or something. Indicates that this is their first Minmay release. Anyone heard of them?

Double post, gah!

Unformed Misa. Yecch.

They're articulated at the neck, shoulders, wrists, waist and hips. No elbow or knee articulation, unfortunately. These things are mostly for looks.

Ah. So it is. MOVERS, PLEASE!

I just got me a few of these. They're not very poseable, but they look really great for being barely three inches tall. All the parts are interchangeable too, and they stand up just fine. The detail on these things is amazing. Grab them if you can find them! Armored Core One Coin Trading Figures Series 1 Second series coming in July... Armored Core One Coin Trading Figures Series 2 P.S. Most of you probably already know this, but for those who don't.. the mecha designs for the Armored Core series were provided by His High Froatiness himself, Shoji Kawamori! One more reason to pick these up. Heh.

Cool. Too bad I already have my set.. these prices are insane! On another note, any of our resident artists feel like putting together some custom DVD cover art for these babies? I'd buy.

Okay, since the hentai suggestion was thrown in.. -Milia in clone chamber Surprised that one hadn't come up yet, with all the green-haired ace pilot Meltran fans in here.

Heh. Ouch. Funny, though.

Others here have asked that question many times before. I wouldn't mind seeing an update of the classic designs and characters using today's animation. It would be good to see the series that started it all, looking state-of-the-art but retaining all of the elements that made us love it in the first place. But I doubt it's going to happen. Keep your fingers crossed.

I'd have to agree on that armor. It's pretty damned fugly. But a shining white Convoy clone always looked neat to me. prime damn it. convoy was mecha. Optimus prime was the character in tf. His lool may ghave been based on convoy the toy but he did nto look much like convoy nor is he a mecha. I realize that. I'm not talking about Hasbro's 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Optimus Prime, though. If I were, I'd have said so. I was referring to Takara's Masterpiece Convoy.

If Takara manages to make a Masterpiece Megatron that looks as good in robot mode as Masterpiece Convoy does, I'll be very impressed. Convoy's basic design was a lot easier to make a good-looking robot mode out of than Megatron's. Poor Megatron always did look funky by comparison. Here's hoping.

Normal Figures -Focker, Hikaru, Max and Kakizaki in their SDF TV flightsuits with helmets -Milia in her "date" outfit ("Meet me at the park?" ) or Meltran flightsuit -The Bridge Bunnies -The Three Zentran Spies -Claudia -Captain Global with pipe Diorama Figures -Focker in VF-IS cockpit (I know, a cockpit has been done already, but I'm a Focker fan) -Hikaru kissing Misa while a large Zentran freaks out (preferably Bodolza or Britai) -Misa sitting at a cafe table with picnic basket and dog (Minmay had her table scene, so I guess Misa deserves one too) -DYRL memory plate (the little plate that had the song lyrics on it) -Max and Milia VIDEO GAME SCENE!

'Zilla (and anyone else of legal age), You're a grown man. That's what being an adult is all about. Making decisions for yourself. And of course, dealing with the results of those decisions. I buy these things because I was never allowed to spend my money on the things I wanted when I was younger. Christmas and birthdays were only two days out of the year. Besides, the technology today blows away most of the toys I had as a kid.. of course they're going to get my money. Buy what you like.

Your vendor probably just hasn't seen the Minmay variant yet. She comes in a normal-colored version and a second version in which she is painted in lighter colors. Apparently, the lighter colors are to emulate one of Haruhiko Mikimoto's painted illustrations of Minmay in that scene. "Portrait" Minmay Normal Minmay I'm pretty sure that the Hikaru cockpit diorama is still the "rare" figure though.

Exactly.

I must wholeheartedly agree. Except maybe with that part about "their awesome Uncle Agent ONE." Mwahaha. How about "Super Incredibly Modest"?

Maybe I'm going to see a lot of repeats, but I'm just curious. There seem to be a lot of customs flying around in here lately, and I'm wondering what kinds of custom work you want to do on your Macross/anime toys. What do you want to customize for yourself?

Yeah. I have a few customs I want to make, and they'd certainly benefit from good-looking custom hands like those. Keep us posted.

You mean you aren't? Liar. <mutters something about Evil Jesus Pokemon-hoarders>

I remember seeing them somewhere. They were bigger and looked far better than the tiny standard skele-hands. I'd get a set for sure.

That's because your interest in anime goes as far as Major Focker, his VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, booze, women, blowing crap up while intoxicated and ventilating giant aliens before going out in a blaze of glory.

Yeah. What he said.

Me too.
