    Flashback 2012 (anime) vs. Macross VF-X (video game) color schemes.

    I'm not loving those hinged panels hanging under the intakes in Armo-Diver mode, either. I imagine this Legioss will best be displayed in Fighter mode... ...but good Lord, the pilot looks huge in there!

    Okay, that's fair point. I don't know what Arcadia was thinking there... They really should've followed Bandai's lead for their "Premium Finish" releases. Bandai's colors were much more accurate.
  4. tekering
    Bandai set the precedent, having produced the first transformable VF-4A model. Those are the established colors now, superseding whatever RPG or fan-art depicted before. Like jenius said, it never transformed. Beyond what was depicted onscreen in Flashback 2012, nothing was canon until the Hi-Metal R. Despite appearances, yes.

    Yes, that's the Eta. Seeing Sentinel's Legioss next to their Houquet, their "1:48" looks a lot more like 1:60 to me... Definitely closer to Toynami/Aoshima size than Evolution Toys, anyway.

    So... if I melt down the thousand dollars' worth of Evolution Toys Legioss I've bought, will the recycled plastic be worth a dollar?
  7. tekering
    Those are customs, right?
  8. tekering
    Hmm... maybe FansToys are too small, then.

    I've always used the Sunbow cartoon for scale reference, myself... The Dinobots were always depicted much larger than their toys were, so we sometimes forget how big they were intended to be!

    With all due respect, Mike, I don't think that's necessary... HasTak provided us with the perfect Siege-scaled Grimlock a decade ago.
  11. tekering
    FansToys' "Dibots" are indeed closer to their animation models, and more accurately-scaled than Gigapower's... ...in robot mode, at least.

    Check our thread on Macross figures, tankball... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/36970-macross-figures/?do=findComment&comment=1476741 Oh, and check your math, while you're at it.

    Being in Japan, Amazon.jp has been my go-to for every Japanese toy. They don't charge my card until it ships, domestic shipping is free, and I always get it on release day. However, recent pre-order pages all have this "10% consumption tax charged item" notice, and I don't know if that's included in the list price or not... and, despite their "pre-order price guarantee," they're not always the cheapest. Arcadia's Proto-Garland is a case-in-point: there are three third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace, and they're all asking less than Amazon's own pre-order price. Anime-Export got my business this time. Not only do they accept PayPal, but their asking price is the cheapest -- a full ¥3200 cheaper than Amazon!

    Macross figures

    tekering replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    That can't be right. That's over $20,000 USD.

    They transform your bank account into a smoking pile of rubble. Oh, and speaking of which: This 1:50 diecast German crane cost over $1000 USD. CM's Patlabor figures sold separately. No more complaining about the cost of Macross toys!

    If the DX Chogokin YF-19 was any indication, I'd say Bandai has the Plus license now.
  17. tekering
    Yeah, Playmates 2012. I have 'em, too.
  18. tekering
    You clearly haven't been following the comics.
  19. tekering
    Great pic! Lame toys. Honestly, Sentinel doesn't have much of a bar to clear.
  20. tekering
    Have they been exposed to direct sunlight? I have thirteen of the old 1:48's, and none of mine show any evidence of discoloration whatsoever. They've been on display for many years, but only in windowless rooms.
  21. tekering
    It was all about modern re-imaginings, back then. I loved the full-on Dome Zero Classics Rodimus.
  22. tekering
    I suppose a thread like this is justified for films that don't fit under the "Anime or Science Fiction" umbrella... or otherwise be of any interest to Macross fans.
  23. tekering
    Yeah, I assume the editorial staff were acting out of spite.
  24. tekering
    Out of morbid curiosity, I looked up Robotech: Breaking Point, an Academy Comics title in 1996... Now I actually feel bad about making fun of the Titan Comics run. Copyright infringement and tracing could only have elevated such shockingly amateurish work. I had no idea professionally-published comics could look like that... especially one inspired by Macross. No wonder Harmony Gold pulled the plug!

    A meter high? Sorry Haslab, I'm backing Zeta's Unicron instead. P.S. This is Unicron were talking about, Mike. There is no such thing as "too big," much less "way too big."
