Besides being ugly, my main concern with the chest tabs in their current design is that the look like a break point just waiting to happen. The rectangular tag really needs to be extended down longer and lower, so that there is more of it on the back of the chest plate.

Thanks to Tochiro for the great new photos. Definitely keeping my two preorders. Nothing surprising with the information they gave Tochiro, pretty much standard for a small Japanese toy company (especially one dabbling in Macross......hahahaha). Graham

Saw this yesterday on a spur-of-the-moment decsion with the wife and son. Orginally wasn't planning to watch it as I thought the trailer looked crap. However, was pleasantly suprised and ended up really enjoing the movie. Far preferred it to Age of Ultron. Graham

So, I'm guessing no further news or pics from WonderFest?
-
I'd love a repaint of this in low-vis grey. Heck, I'd be happy if it came without the packs and stand, just the bare Valk with gunpod and maybe some wing missiles instead.
-
Yep, same for me. can't wait to get this, warts and all.

I feel that magnets just by themself, even neodymium magnets would not be an ideal solution for attaching a SAP. Even with stong rare-earth magnets, you still need at least some small slots and pegs to position the SAP parts and stop them from shifting position when being handled. Just my two cents.
-
Ha, I just noticed the red hybrid sensors on the nose are spring loaded. Graham
-
I'm hoping we do get a SAP someday, as the VF-2SS with SAP is one of my all time favorite looking space fighters.
-
Also, I'll say what I said a few pages back. This VF-2SS toy from Evolution absolutely does not appear to be designed with any SAP attachment points. There's no slots, holes, pegs, tabs etc at all in evidence for connecting a SAP to. So I sincerely doubt that Evolution is planning to release a stand-alone SAP that can attach to the VF-2SS. So all of you expecting and hoping for a SAP accessory are likely to be dissapointed. What I think will happen is that if the toy sells well enough, Evolution will modify the tooling and release a revised version including a SAP (that may or may not be removable, depending on how ambitious they feel).

I bugged Yamato for years and years to make a VF-2SS with SAP, but they always said the show was too unpopular, hardly anyone liked it or knew about it, toy wouldn't sell, etc, etc, blah blah. And also that Kawamori-San would get pissed if they made one (dunno it that was really true though). Graham
-
As I've said before, if you want the chance of more VF-2SS toys (or Mac II toys), support and buy this. If you don't care about ever getting any more Mac II toys, then don't buy it. The Japanese manufacturers need to see that there is a demand for these. As Kevin Costner said, "you pay in advance, they will come" (or something like that) In the end, the number or orders talks.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Graham replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yawn.........someone wake me up when there are some mecha pics. -
Ordered 2 from HLJ.
-
From This Is Animation - Macross Plus Movie book, published 1995. They are Active Airflow Control Units.
-
The eyes on that SD Lick Hunter figure are kinda creepy looking. And now that Yamato is dead and buried, I guess Toynami and Whore-Money Gold feels safe ripping off Yamato's urban cammo and black and gold paint schemes <_< And who is Calibre toys?
-
I'm glad I only like the look of the packs attached in Battroid mode. With both Arcadia and Bandai, the Fighter mode should remain bare IMO, just looks better naked.

Terminator 5/Terminator: Genisys, opening July 1, 2015
Graham replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Saw it two days ago with my wife and son. Really enjoyed it. Definitely picking up the Blu-ray when it's out. A worthy seqeul to gthe first two movies and far superior to T3 and Salvation. The only thing I disliked was the bus flipping scene. -
Gotta say, without fast packs, I've had no problems transforming to and from fighter mode. The instruction booklet is very clearly illustrated. While there are more steps than the Arcadia, it's still pretty easy too transforn in my opinion.
-
Dunno why some of you guys are taking an hour to transform back to fighter mode (unless it's with the super parts attached....heh, heh)!!! Without super parts, it should take no more than ten minutes. Graham
-
I'm a sucker for a Hikaru Strike Valk.
-
Tape holding parts together is pretty common on resin toy sculpts.
-
Arcadia should have released the VF-1 FAST Packs already if they wanted to make a quick buck.
-
Same here. Exact hinge placement be damned, it looks good enough for me. But seriously, that photoshopped, colorized pic looks "shut up and take my money" awesome. Graham
-
Sorry, I have zero contact and no relationship with Arcadia. About 12+ months ago the last of the 3 close contacts that I used to have at Yamato told me they have no more contact with Arcadia. They have all moved on to other jobs. So, I know nobody at Arcadia. I have no idea what their plans are. I have no contact with them. Graham
