GMANIFESS

About time Broadside gets some respect. He was a badass in the Wreckers comics.

And anything is an improvement over his G1 toy...

So where's the pullout shot?

LOL.... pullout shot..?? no happy endings with only 6 chain bases right now....

But i did get my 1/72 Armored Ozma kit in the mail today. So expect comparison shots to the 1/60 DX soon.

I dissembled the big 6ft x 5ft 1/48 Dioarama hangar. Retired the 1/48's to the attic.

Downsized to the one shelf of chain bases....

A bit boring... but still a work in progress....

I'm all in for this one. RZA & Russell Crowe have been working on this for ages.

RZA is a big fan of old-school kung fu flicks, new school kung fu flicks & anime. He has been working on his Hollywood connections for a while, and with Quentin production money, so i expect a live-action Ninja scroll / Iron Monkey type action with endless Shaw Brother's Homages with a Wu-Tang soundtrack.

Can't really go wrong.

Plus Lucy Lu doing her Kill Bill character again...

Yes. Send it.

Or you might be able to upload it directly from your PC into this post.

That would be awesome. unlikely. But definately needs to happen.

I am not looking forward to the Max vs Miriya stage.

If it's the same as the PSP version then you have to beat the other meltrans, fight Miriya outside, then fight inside the capital ship with extreme close quarters combat. If history repeats itself, there will be no tuning for Max's VF-1S so expect EX/Chronical levels of difficulty.

Not really his own agenda but he would be getting something out of this little evil plot, i.e. he would get a "kickback".

That's what i'm wondering. He already owns a shipping empire, but dissolving the SMS seemed suspect. I guess his motivation to hopefully see Minmei again was overwhelming.

Macross Frontier (tv) storyline question:

Was Richard Birla (SMS Owner) in on the plot with Leon Mishima & Grace? Or did he simply have his own mysterious agenda?

I'm wondering now because new president Leon calls Birla in episode 22 after getting off the phone with Grace.

True. TV hasn't been the same since that writer's strike a while back. The reality show plague continues...

With Thundercats & Avengers animated pretty much over, if Tron gets cancelled then Transformers Prime & Young Justice is the last US animation on TV for me.

We are simply going to have to get the word out & support it.

I hate when damn good shows get cancelled because people just didn't take the time to check it out... then when they do it's already gone.

Indeed. And if they get big enough their production cost could drop & the savings could past to the customers. Being able to bypass child-toy safety laws that plague Hasbro transformers, they could continue marketing as adult collectibles and thus could truly be a powerful entity for collectors. Giving fans what they really want: High level engineered tranforming toys not plagued by lame gimmicks or retarded paint applications.

Who is the inspiration for this new Warbot? It doesn't look familar.

Are they trying to make up a diverse mix of old inspirations & some new stuff to not get sued by Hasbro/Takara?

Yeah. I knew that song would be a problem. You just can't control what they get exposed too sometimes, but you have to regulate their reactions. That's parenting. Happy Belated Father's day to us....

Well compared to half the sexual crap on the radio & my other option of Wu-Tang CD's... Sharon Appple is still the safer bet. Regardless, Idol talk isnt on that disc anyway.

I'm more worried about my son singing dumb sh*t like "IM SEXY AND I KNOW".... WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE...."

Which he inadvertently got from that stupid M&M's commercial......

You know.... Some Sharon Apple is not exactly PG....

Well every Sharon track on the CD is in mostly Japanese so yeah other then some sexy beats & sultry rifts... PG as far as im concerned...

I'd stil be enjoying my historic & hilarious Clash of the Bionoids VHS for kicks if i had a functional VCR, but i look forward to the best, most state of the art version of DYRL the world currently has to offer, & will continue to enjoy any newer version technology eventually provides.

I burned a few CD's of Macross music to have some PG rated music in the jeep. One was some instrumentals mostly from DYRL & Zero, and the other was a sampling of various Sharon Apple & Sheryl. My 5 year old enjoys them both. He hums & sings along. He wasn't amused by Sheryl's music until he saw a few scenes & realized they were "battle songs". But his favorite by far is the original Japanese theme song for SDF. He sings "Mak-U-Rosss" all day....

Those Springfields are getting very popular nowadays... like hotcakes or something.... seems like every other range is practically giving them away.

Wow.... i wonder if that is tranformed properly. That is major kibble for a 'masterpiece'. However, it's forgiveable for being so awesome in other places. I look forward to a Black G2 repaint.

-Looks the same height as Prime!

-He can be posed to press his own eject button!

-Looks like it can the old G1 cassettes too...

-bad posing on the displays....

-Ravage looks a bit off...

Soundwave is as good as bought. Do you think it'll have an MP3 gimmick?

Probably not this release. But i can guaruntee this mold will be milked. We will absolutely get the Soundblaster Black & Red repaint. Then maybe some Japan exclusive with an MP3 mechanism. .Or maybe get a Soundwave with a non-transforming cassette that is a functional MP3.

Use compressed air & a feather duster for my anti-dusting campaigns.

Yeah I like my collection open and accessible. My friends get a kick out of them, but they know enough not to take them off the shelf.

AGREED. Look all you want, count em, be amazed... but unless you've been transforming toys since 1984 & have bought atleast one $200+ high end collectible in the last decade- DO NOT TOUCH.

Excellent use of those Yamato stands, i didn't even know they supported Battroid modes.

And great use of those flight pose stands. They are life savers.

I enjoy seeing collections out in the open, on the shelf cold & hard & not confined & sterile looking.
