  1. All art is subjective and no disrespect to gunnm/alita, but in my humble opinion Katsuhiro otomo's art is in a class of his own. Akira would take some time to read thru fully but i am still enthralled by the lines and details 35 years in...

    Bandai is certainly getting their mold investments worth in macross! Even delta has gotten me considering color swapping supers on the DX line. On M2, i wonder if this SAP release marks the beginning of a foray into non SDFM/DYRL HMR's. To a certain extent is kinda a slap in the face for the original macross, since M2 is taking a valuable(christmasy?) November release slot in the 35th anniversary year of SDFM. They could have waited till an '18 March/April release, and that would kept the focus on SDFM valks this year. Unless of course, there will be another special HMR release for christmas? (really doubt so) Just an observation, not a critique.

    Might have to do with the fact that M2 isnt as popular as SDFM or folks spent on the evo SAP packs not that long ago....either way am just glad got the pre-order in easy peasy!

    Yeah the lineart back support bar looks way btr and out of the way than the HMR or evo implementations. I guess it was too difficult to follow the lineart, not sure how that would work in physical form, looks like possibility of the disc moving along the top ceiling of the cannon pack, or compression going on at the hinge. Macross lineart is always da bomb. Look at em gorgeous lines, and i thk the HMR captured a lot of it.

    Ok Painting painting.. j/king.... am really hoping they release the acrobatic versions now... just will have to wait for sh9000 to customise them till then! Back to the topic at hand, yup they got the proportions and look of the vf2ss pretty down accurate i must say. Cant remember if there was that unslightly bar on the back, holding up the cannon pack on the head, but i guess you cant run away from a form of support. Plus its a nice touch the missile doors on the SAP packs open up and arent just for display. I must say SAP gerwalk mode looks like a total TANK on legs! Yup am wondering how the leg joints also avoid from spreading too far apart in gerwalk mode. There must be a hinge mechanism helping it angle out, but i cant seem to see it. It doesn't look like the HMR has a tilt up mechanism for the wings in gerwalk mode, those hinges seem more attached to the shoulders than the wing. But if the wings do angle up, thats some pretty nifty engineering there!
  18. LOL reactions on youtube aren't used to it being TV series production quality... Still would look forward to catching it tho.... woof woof!
  19. Yup, am referring to DX'es and related parts Also includes any non-macross stuff that are insta-buys...
