  1. If it's a new story to be serialized in Dengeki Hobby magazine, I imagine it will be something similar in format and content to the monthly Gundam 'Advance of Z' or '00P' stories serialized in Dengeki Hobby. If that's the case, it could either be really interesting or complete crap as these Gundam side-stories that get serialized in Dengeki Hobby tend to be full or really wacky and hideously ugly looking MS variations, that have all sorts of crap hanging off them. I hope the VFs don't inherit the same curse. Graham
  2. Looking good. I think the VF-171 canopy and longer nose are going to be the most difficult part to do of this custom. Graham
  3. Big 'NO' to any transformers style gimmicks in Yamato Macross toys. Definitely no light piping. As someone else mentioned, to have light piping for the eyes, that usually means the back of the head also need to be clear plastic. No light up or sound gimmicks please, either. They are usually pretty tacky. Unless they can be fitted into an accessery part such as a booter, they will usually compromise the sculpt in some way. When Harmony Gold tried the light up eye gimmick with their MPC VF-1, most us us hated it. As for joints, I don't recall being impressed by the joints on Transormers toys. Most of my sons Transformers have at least some floppy joints. Graham
  4. I used to love the underwater level! Graham
  5. How exactly does the gunpod attach to the connecting piece? It's not quite clear from the pic. Does the gunpod's handle (grip), just slot into a rectangular hole in the connecting piece? Graham
  6. That looks really cool in a retro kinda way. Will have to look and see if they have more on YouTube. Graham
  7. Renato, would the gunpod attachment peice also work with the VF-19S's gunpod do you think? Graham
  8. Glad to hear that the game play will be similar to MUF. Graham
  9. The middle head laser is still okay on mine, but then, I haven't tried pushing it. I hope you guys were able to glue yours back on OK. Graham
  10. Will be watching this project with great interest. Good start so far. Graham
  11. Anytime a director whose only experience is music videos is asked to direct a genre movie, it's a disaster just waiting to happen. And agreed, we don't need another origins movie. Is there anybody on this planet that doesn't know how Spider-Man got his powers by now. Graham
  12. I actually bought it on DVD when it was first released (although I forget why). I think I managed to sit about 3/4 through the movie, before ejecting it from the player and tossing it in the trash. Graham
  13. R.I.P. Only seen Perfect Blue and own the DVD. Great movie. Have to make an effort to see his other movies. Graham
  14. Still haven't seen any of these yet and wasn't even aware they had made a '3'. Graham
  15. I've had this theory in the back of my mind for a while now, that Lucas may pull off a huge retcon with Clone Wars and completely change the Star Wars story, with Anakin not turning to the dark side and not becoming Vader, but instead being killed by Vader, as Obi Wan orginally described to Luke in A New Hope. Sounds crazy, I know, but so far though seasons 1 and 2, Anakin is just too goody goody, to be anywhere remotely near turning to the dark side. While he's still impulsive and does things his own way, having Ahsoka as a Padawan seems to have brought out a more resonsible side to him and mellowed him quite a bit. I don't recall seeing any flashes of anger from Anakin or him losing his temper yet. Graham
  16. Wow, that's ugly IMO. Looks more like something out of Super Robot Wars Original Generations, than from Armored Core. I remember when I used to play Armored Core on my PS1 and it had nice looking realistic mechs. Graham
  17. Just watched the season 3 trailer. Looks awesome. Nice to see Cad Bane back. Graham
  18. Another reason for not wanting to sse Phase II armourin series 3 (besides it looking fugly), is that I don't want to have to buy a whole new set of Phase II Clone Trooper toys for my son. He's already got about 30 different Clone Trooper figures and if I buy anymore, my wife is gonna go ballistic! Graham
  19. Haven't watched the season 3 trailer yet, but I hope the Clones keep their Phase I armor in season III. I far prefer the look of the TV Phase I armor helmets, looks more heroic IMO. I always hated the look of the Phase II helmets. Yes, I know they bridge the gap between Storm Trooper armour, but they still look ugly IMO. Graham
  20. Looks great. A must buy. Graham
  21. Easy pass for me. The only 2 movies I like are 'A New Hope' & 'Empire Strikes Back' and I'm only interested in the original theatrical version of A New Hope. I have no burning desire to replace my DVDs. And I still don't have a Blu-Ray player yet. And Han shot first! Anyway, these days, my meagre Star Wars interests are more with the Clone Wars CG series, which I enjoy watching together with my son. Graham
  22. Nah, never played a single Zelda game. I never bought into Nintendo. Never liked their cutesy characters. The only Nintendo console I ever owned was a Japanese Super Famicom, so I could play Scrambled Valkyrie. Back in the early to mid 90s', I was far more of a Sega Mega-Drive fan. I can't stand Mario Brothers, naver could. Don't like the game and as mentioned, hate the cutsey characters. Never was a Street Fighter fan and the only Tetris I play is on my cell phone, when I'm travelling and really, really bored. Will probably pass then, or catch it as a rental. Graham
  23. Hmm........never heard of the lead actor or the comic book before. May give this a try if and when it is released here. As for the director, I liked Shaun of the Dead, but thought Hot Fuzz was just so-so. Graham
  24. Head of catering! Graham
