    Doubtful there was any measurable impact for the average consumer...but I always order my stuff and have it shipped via EMS or some other express shipping....I guess to know if things have taken longer to receive we'd need to hear from folks here that go with the proverbial Chinese slow boat to determine if shipping via boat has been any slower to them as of the last year or so....from casual posts I have read on here folks seem to be receiving their stuff in the expected amount of time, some even said they had received their items quicker if you can believe that....so go figure...

    If the tariffs go both ways, which do....then probably...it really depends on what is covered in the Chinese side of their tariffs... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxbusiness.com/economy/china-responds-tariffs-us-goods-after-trumps-tariffs-chinese-imports-take-effect.amp The busts likely have nothing to do with the recent usps shenanigans....those busts were part of a months-long investigation from before all the tariff nonsense....

    Nah....totally unrelated to current clown show... https://apnews.com/article/usps-china-hongkong-shein-temu-b456d7b6d66780090bd5bef862dfda13

    YJA is going to be your best source for these and many other older Macross posters....sometimes Mandarake too.....for YJA you will need to use a proxy...

    It's not great but that's definitely the "look" they are going for...like the early style Spiderman comic books...with a modern edge that will probably get some people all worked up if the stories are boring.... ...as far as the style they went with...whether it works or not is debatable.... It doesn't bother me at all, so I'll keep watching....

    It's literally has his name on the print....lol Is it a book with his Macross work?

    That B/W image is a real departure from his current MtF style and looks very different from anything previous, in terms of his character 'style'....I like it... As for the rest of the images, only the MtF stuff hasn't been collected in some other previous Mikimoto artbook....maybe they want to include his latest illustration from the 4K DYRL release....not surprised by the delay, but it may closer to release now than ever before.....I'll make sure to quote myself one year from now!...

    The comicbook style doesn't bother me at all....with that said, I totally get your point, for me, no matter how good the animation is, if the english voice actors are terrible, I can't watch...which basically tosses out most dubbed anime for me....and I don't partucularly enjoy subbed tv or movies....

    It's ok....more disposable entertainment.... In terms of the look....maybe it takes place in that comic book earth shown in the last Dr. Strange movie....

    I thought I remember a guid about how to tell, specifically for the poster you are inquiring about....I will see if I can find it....unfortunately, the particular poster you are looking to buy is one that does have bootleg copies, official resized versions, etc.....

    1/55's revisited

    jvmacross replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Thought that on BW-licensed Macross toys...it was either 1982 for "TV" based toys...and 1984 for "DYRL" based toys...

    With the exception of DC....all of those other IPs belong to Disney....and so does the Alien IP.....cautiously optimistic...I had no issues with Romulus either...actually just watched in on D+ over the weekend....my biggest issue is that I had no reason to subscribe to Hulu....and still don't....will just wait and see how this show is received by fans and critics I guess....

    Sadly, based on past 'mistakes'....KC usually double downs on things pointed out as needing improvement....poor sales may be the only way to get the message across...

    I believe the issue with the regult/battlepod is that potential customers have been turned off by what has been happening with the KC line before its release that even though the Regult is actually a solid release...the damage to their rep may be too great for many to overlook and give them another chance....the current Max fig doesn't help KC....it's probably now all up to the diehard fans to help KC through this hump....even though I do not particularly like the Max fig....they more or less kept their promis to release it close to when they said they would....I am guessing a March-April release for the first wave of Zentran figs....however, I won't wait that long before reaching out for an update if none is posted on their FB page...cautious optimism is all I can have at this point....

    Pretty sure there is only one person making those calls at KC....you can simply post these questions on KC's Facebook page and he will either ignore you or double- down on his decisions...imo, he has made several decisions that I found to take his brand a few steps backwards beginning with the change he made with the leg tabs on his VF-1's.....this fig would be the latest change that made it worse compared to previously shown prototypes.....one can argue that using cloth is a bad decision in itself...at least for the current implementation....the next bad move may be the paint choices he has shown for the Zentran pilot figs....he really just needs to stick to the canon colors....no need to get creative on that...

    Chocolate pudding?

    KC Max fig.... So basically everything I disliked from the preview pics...I still dislike with it now that I have in in-hand.... Additionally, the hands seem off...like too large for the fig...they are also difficult to remove and install...the gun in the pics is from the Hikaru fig.....without it every hand included just looks odd....and the weirdest accessory is a video game controller....guess a sort of homage to the video game scene in the show...I think a container with his video game tokens would have made more sense.... The only the face that I have installed is "ok"...the other 2 just don't seem right for his character.... This is easily the worst Macross fig release from KC....I don't regret the purchase, but hope that their next release...the Zentran figs...will make up for it....time will tell....
