  1. Cruise sure looks good next to the desiccated corpse of Ed Harris.
  2. Yeah, Gundam FIX did it much better a decade ago, at the same scale.
  3. Ah, but they DID go to the trouble of constructing the massive sets, see...
  4. So, rather than using famous people in costumes, they've created computer-generated characters that look like... famous people in costumes?
  5. For your blue shelf, @jeniusornome.
  6. You got that right. Their video suggests -- as the enemy ship is "closing fast" -- three women in skirts and heels ran from the SDF-2 (in the foreground) to the SDF-1 (several kilometers in the background). Why even go to the trouble? They could have merely edited a few lines of dialogue and eliminated the SDF-2 entirely! How appropriately Robotech.
  7. Oh, that's not fair. Use a proper HD source, at least.
  8. That's at least $12,000 worth of figures right there.
  9. Best of all, the set of all four (plus shipping) cost me less than they retailed for 35 years ago!
  10. Just the parking lot across the street. Yeah, I'm a big Ranma fan.
  11. Awesome find on Yahoo! Japan auctions: Animedia "Idol Photo Packs" from the mid-eighties. They feature these little booklets with unexpected tidbits of information (like the girls' measurements!)... ...and some original Mikimoto illustrations I'd never seen before! I put it closer to 5-inch scale... Shipping to Japan cost me more than the value of the toy!
  12. And considerably upgraded, too! The stock kit lighting is... ...distinctly amber.
  13. Wrong Prime. This is the original Timelines one: Note the shape of the crack... and the ears.
  14. Except they scaled it down to match the SDF-1, of course. Still, good catch there.
  15. I thought that SDF-2 nonsense had been struck from canon years ago. There's nothing in the animation to support it, of course; in fact, prior to reading the comics or novels, I'd simply assumed the couple times "SDF-2" came up in dialogue (clearly referencing the SDF-1 onscreen) were merely typos in the recording scripts the director didn't catch. Not that it matters either way, of course. Robotech has been dead since Shadow Chronicles sunk it.
  16. If I were customizing 1:48s, the first thing I'd do was replace those bony hands!
  17. Depends on what you consider affordable... The Aoshima retailed for less than $200. It's still my favorite... ...and it separates, of course.
  18. Nothing new there. Bandai's been overdoing the tampo since the DX YF-19.
  19. Very clean work. The decals are fantastic.
  20. I finally acquired the HD remastering of Otaku no Video. We all know the show is full of loving tributes to Macross, but I never noticed the Mospeada reference before: Now, if we could only get Scramble Wars an HD remaster as well...
  21. Rumor has it Jeep wouldn't approve the alt. mode unless the hood was a single unbroken piece.
  22. Roy's yellow dome is, inexplicably, on Max's 1J...
  23. Looks like a bunch of firecrackers ready to be launched into the sky. "Too late! Independence Day was last week, fool!"
