    Ah, but they DID go to the trouble of constructing the massive sets, see...
  2. tekering
    So, rather than using famous people in costumes, they've created computer-generated characters that look like... famous people in costumes?

    At least they're consistently MCU, for a change... When did the Mk.IV get repainted in Iron Patriot colors?

    For your blue shelf, @jeniusornome.

    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.

    Oh, that's not fair. Use a proper HD source, at least.
  7. tekering
    That's at least $12,000 worth of figures right there.

    Best of all, the set of all four (plus shipping) cost me less than they retailed for 35 years ago!

    Just the parking lot across the street. Yeah, I'm a big Ranma fan.

    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!

    And considerably upgraded, too! The stock kit lighting is... ...distinctly amber.

    Wrong Prime. This is the original Timelines one: Note the shape of the crack... and the ears.

    Except they scaled it down to match the SDF-1, of course. Still, good catch there.

    So, which 1701-E do you think this model was based on?
  15. tekering
    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.

    If I were customizing 1:48s, the first thing I'd do was replace those bony hands!

    Depends on what you consider affordable... The Aoshima retailed for less than $200. It's still my favorite... ...and it separates, of course.

    Nothing new there. Bandai's been overdoing the tampo since the DX YF-19.

    Very clean work. The decals are fantastic.

    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...

    Rumor has it Jeep wouldn't approve the alt. mode unless the hood was a single unbroken piece.

    Roy's yellow dome is, inexplicably, on Max's 1J...

    Looks like a bunch of firecrackers ready to be launched into the sky. "Too late! Independence Day was last week, fool!"

    I didn't even make it through Canto Bight. By the time the Supremacy had gotten sliced in half by "weaponized lightspeed," I figured Rian Johnson was just trolling the audience.

    As originally conceived, Bryan Fuller had mandated that no ships would have round nacelles, so I think it actually turned out to be more TOS-style than he'd intended. Frankly, I'd be happy to see them abandon Discovery altogether ("never spoken of again," as the finale states), and go ahead with the Enterprise crew using the existing sets and uniforms... ...just as teased in the closing scenes of the series. Alas, they'd already blown their budget and failed to generate a reasonable return on investment... so it's up to Patrick Stewart to save the franchise now!
