If you mean Lunamaria Hawke who pilots the red Zaku Warrior, she looks nothing like Frey IMO, she's much more cute and should not die, at least not before giving us some significant panty or shower scene fan service . Graham (Lunamaria's No.1 fan)

Yep, that's a good price. Graham

Yep, I noticed that when I saw it at the cinema, which is one of the main reasons why I purchased the DVD. Gotta love that pause and slow-mo function Graham My favorite part of that scene has to be watching it with the commentary on so she proudly proclaims "TWAT SHOT!" LOL.....I'll have to watch that part with the commentary on. I usually never bother with commentaries, find them too boring. Graham

OK, apparently there was a 1967 Hanna-Barbera FF cartoon, which was quite faithful to the comics and featured pretty good art for that time. This did feature all 4 FF members. Then there was a 1978 FF cartoon, which featured lousy art and replaced the Human Torch with a Robot called Herbie. I've read some stories that say there were concerns about children setting fire to themselves, which lead to the Human Touch being replaced by Herbie. Other stories say that it was beacuse the Human Tourch rights were held be another company for use in a possible live-action movie or TV series at that time, so he could not be used in the 1978 cartoon.

How about a VF-1A head, with two extra lasers stuck on the side. We could give it our own official designation an all......oh no wait, Toynami already did that . I say somebody does a 3D scan of Shawn's head so that Capt America could do a realistic sculpt of Shawn and we use that as the official MW 1/48 head. Shawn, what do you think buddy? Graham

I want to know where's Herbie, or whatever the silly robot in the cartoon was called? Graham

Heh, brings to mind images of Doom strapped to some table in a UFO after being abducted by aliens, screaming "No...........not the anal probe!" . Graham

Heh, I don't think I've read any Marvel titles for 22 years ! Graham

OK, I've just renamed this topic to more accurately reflect the thread contents. As the new title implies, please keep discussions on Bandai Gundam plastic model kits to this thread. Graham

I don't think we want to go that route, but you can easily create your own Gundam thread to discuss whatever specific area of the Gundam franchise interests you, e.g. start an 'official Gundam Zeta' thread or 'UC Gundam' thread or 'sissy, skirt wearing Zeong' thread if you want to discuss those specific topics. We alread have an an official 'Gundam Sentinel' thread, for discussing all things Sentinel related. Anyway, back to discussing Destiny. Graham

Here's the direct link. It's not in this thread. It's in another thread on page 2 of the toy forums. Graham

While the AnimEigo Macross DVDs may now be out of print, it's not really accurate to call them unavailable, as they are still pretty easy to buy online from a variety of places. Graham

Ouch! Graham

That's more information than I really wanted to know, thank you Graham

Given that the title is 'Macross & Orguss Design Works', I think it's a pretty safe bet that it covers Orguss as well Graham

I have pruned the non-Destiny replies and amended the thread title. Graham

Yep, lets keep this thread about Destiny anime/toys/models only please. No discussing that skirt wearing sissy Zeong! Graham

Actaully, wasn't the team of 5 heros in Gatchaman called 'Science Ninja Squad' Graham

I don't know if I would call him great since he endangered his squadmates with that recklessness. But he did take out 6 or 7 enemy Powered Armor all by himself in under one minute IIRC using only a gunpod and bayonet, no missiles. That makes him a pretty good combat pilot in my book. Graham

IMO looks more like Jabba's barge. Graham

It definitely seems like Destiny is going for a more of an ensemble cast approach, rather than focasing on a single main character. I think I kind of like this. I do wish Lunamaria Hawke would get more screen time though. Graham

Hmm.....although I like the Zakus in Destiny, I do not like that new Gauf, but then again, it could just be Okawara's art that makes it look bad. It will probably look much better in the anime. Mind you I have never really liked Gaufs, except for the Gauf Custom in 08MST. I for one hope that we do not get Doms or Gelgoogs in Destiny. I've never liked them. Graham

Because only the expensive Japan only release is out so far. The cheaper international release for the US market and the rest of the world doesn't come out until March I think. IIRC there is about a US$60 price difference between the two. However, it's not known at this time whether the international release will differ in any way, i.e. packaging, quality, features or material. Graham

Err....because I wasn't really sure whether to post it in the anime or toys forum. I mean it's a book, so it's not an anime, but then again neither is it a toy!?????? . So I thought, post it first in the Macross anime section so people who mostly visit that section will see the news and then move it to the Macross toy forum as I guess (in my mind at least) a book is closer to a toy than an anime .
