  1. I was inspired, and thus decide to make....Aquarion GERWALK!!! 56k warning!
  2. Cool song. I actually have it as an mp3 file somewhere on my hard drive. And I like the video. However, if someone does manage to get this thing, how about uploading a high quality version for us slackers to have. Edit: I found that song. If any of you want it, send me a message. It includes that opening theme speech. 339151[/snapback] Ask and you will receive. Available only for 7 days from this date. HQ as requested, 11MB taken from densha otoko sound track. Enjoy. http://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ZSRQ4D...VA0W0NA2MUPOIVM Oh, change the extension from .bak to .mp3.
  3. I have acquired my Aquarion yesterday and i spent a good 2 hours playing around with it in different modes. This is a "short" review. Out of the box, the Aquarion vectors felt like floppy things, especially Vector Mars. Felt weird about that. But upon reading the instructions there were plastic pieces that you can append to the vectors to make them more sturdy. Cool. So 1st thing i built up was Aquarion Mars, the fugly blue one. Aquarion Mars is basically 3 of the Vectors stacked on top of each other, thus is the tallest mode. When I finally got it built up, 1st impression was, FLOPPY. The waist joint can move front and back and its loose, thus due to the back heaviness, it always droops backwards, The skinny chicken legs don't help it stand either and trying to pose it in a non-standing-straight pose was almost impossible. So the 2nd mode I tried was Aquarion Luna. Aquarion Luna as well couldn't really stand on its own. The legs which were using Vector Sol, the feet are connected to the ankle by a flimsy joint, and its not supported by a heel, which makes this another impossible mode to stand without the stand. Despite that, I like this mode pretty much. Its just so unique...don't know how to put it, but the arms opening up into a bow and arrow just appealed to me. Other than the inability to stand by itself, only thing I didn't like about this mode is when the arms open up into the bow, you have to put in the "golden parts" which have to be swapped out when the hands form back. They could've left the gold parts in the bow somehow without removing the gold parts. So the last and i would say the most optimal mode would be Aquarion Solar. Overall a very good mode. I could just barely pose it without the stand. The knee ratchet joints are pretty weak to allow it more dynamic poses without the stand. Vector Sol joins to Vector Mars by Vector Mar's head, forming Aquarion Solar's torso. Good idea i thought, until I realised that Vector Mar's neck joint is not racheted and thus too weak to support the full weight of Vector Sol forming the upper body. Thus while posing, the upper body tends to swing out crazily out of position. Abit afraid that this might cause Vector Mar's head to snap off if you're not careful. Overall, i was very impressed with the engineering of this toy. Its has complex transformation, not for the faint hearted and those who lack patience, but every part moves as it should (no joints stuck making you wonder if it moves or not) and how the toy joins up is very secure thus no worry of it crumbling in your hands while posing. Very good consideration to toy design like how some parts just fit nicely and no force is required anywhere which might cause parts to snap (ie: Toynami :roll: ). And I think this is the toy which by far has the most moving parts I've ever seen. Almost every thing I touch moves someway or other. Pretty cool. Worth the money IMHO.
  4. New kotobukiya Trading figures of Top 2. WARNING: Figures might give away some...urmm..spoilers. At least I think they are spoilers. http://www.top2.jp/goods.html#fig
  5. My impulse's feet keep falling off. Parts fitting for the impulse was very bad.
  6. Good news for those waiting out on the mass production Aquarions. I had news that its confirmed release of those. But i'm not sure if these pictures are the actual product or customs.
  7. Most of us already seen this vid. But before i download this, what is the file in the zip? I have a low quality .rm and would like a higher quality one. Actually I think Mina was around since Daicon 3.
  8. Nice. But is it me but is the CR line very bad with their paint jobs?
  9. OT: Sousei Gattai...Go...GUNDAM!!
  10. Cloud is at Level 99 without his materia, and Sephiroth remains at level 80 or whatever it was before he dies in..... Like all FF games, the hard bosses are never the final bosses. Its always some hax boss like Emerald Weapon or something...where you need equally hax materia to defeat.
  11. Very nice! I've never seen a YF-21 Doyusha in person.
  12. Yesterday while i was playing with my shadow fighter, the right flap just beside the canopy broke....a very clean break. No parts stress marks at all either. I tried super glue with little success then used a miniature glue gun and voila....good as new....almost.
  13. The hell....is this Gundam or is this EVA? 0.o UC gundam had technology to capture "souls" ?
  14. ROFLMAO! Genius!!
  15. Ahh ok....shows howmuch i've been paying attention.
  16. Yeah i had photos of the new evas in another toyboard but unfortunately it got hacked and its database got deleted but we only managed to back it up to March this year. There was a picture of a transparent EVA01 and it shows all the ratchet ball joint things. They look like the joints that came with the Spawn Interlink set some years back.
  17. Woah...some people are bitter. In any case, none of that matters anymore. Hey...i don't think Athrun went into seed mode once in this whole show, did he? I might've missed it though. I mean....even Lacus herself went into "freaky seed mode" towards the end, just like season 1. If Kira Yamato was the only successful experiment in that super coordinator program, why are there other super coordinators like Shinn, Athrun, and assumedly Lacus as well? We might get a flashback in season 3 where all of them shared the same nursery or something and then they go their seperate ways when blue cosmos attacks the facility or something....
  18. And show how humans only would unite under a single cause or threat. The irony of war. Why not? Change it a little.
  19. Woah...was my Valks that sparkly white before? Crap...now i gotta check if my valks have yellowed slightly.
  20. Thanks for the input, Azrael. I don't know nuts about the MSV and manga storylines, which i suppose would clear things up abit. Here's food for thought for a future SEED sequel. World is in chaos now. Both ZAFT and EA have no leaders. There will be factions and everybody wants to be leader. The world is at war....again. Call it the Dark Age of SEED. Lacus tries to unite the world but without a sizeable army and people losing trust to her, she finds it difficult. blablabla.....aliens called The Swarm attack and ZAFT and EA have to band together to fight it off. It would be interesting to see Gundams fighting off Uchu Seishins (Space monsters).
  21. Well to be fair for Shinn, you have to admit he did have alot of those pwning moments, like how he pwned a coupla Destroys and pwned Kira, as well as pwned Athrun in a Gouf. Well on the bright side, Luna's still alive and well, despite my worse fears.
  22. That's not what I meant. I'd think that someone as uber as the Ultimate Coordinator would have more eyes on him, or at least under surveillance or something. But nobody seems to know of Kira's existence except Kreuze, and Rey, who hate Kira so much for making them who they are. Can't remember...did Zala know about the Super Coordinator program? Another question, when Rey shot Gil and apologised for it , he said somrthing about "Sorry...but my destiny...." . Gil replies "I see". What did Rey meant by that? It sounded like he didn't want to kill Gil, but Kreuze did, so those "destiny" genes he inherited made him do it? I think it was more invasive than to just "map" your genome. They probably would somehow stifle your aggresiveness and other traits. Otherwise, people will get unhappy again and wars will start again, which is not what Gil wants. Otherwise they wouldn't fight a war with Gil just for that. Anyway I think the whole theme of "Why do we fight?" is getting annoying. Do you guys feel the same? Half the time I'm not sure wth is Lacus saying. Its more like "Do what you want. Follow your hearts" and Kira and Athrun seem to go "Woah...i've been bestowed infinite wisdom. OMGBBQ, Lacus, you're the answer to all my questions".
  23. Just watched episode 50. Man....what a crap ending. It seemed like they had some stuff planned but didn't have the time to animate it. DOM people got crap screen time.... And I think I felt very deja vu-ish during the final battle. Yay....lacus and archangel saves the day again with 2 uber mecha in METEORS. Mwu la regains his memory...and i swear if he died at that part he was protecting the archangel...i'd shoot the writers. Ok....question time. I watched the SEED fansub version so i not sure if it was explained properly. The Destiny Plan is some genome stiffling thing that makes humans into utopian zombies, right? How did he intend to use this? I saw some servers or something being activated on the Messiah....but is it something that he'd have to inject into every individual on earth...or was it sorta like a bio weapon that spreads across the globe? And 2 seasons have passed and we don't entirely know what's the deal with SUPER COODINATOR SEED Kira Yamato. What makes him so special? Was Kreuze and Rey just prototypes for what would become Kira? I think i better go read some supporting text. I'm confused at the timeline now. If Kira was so special, how did Zaft allow him to live a normal life on Heliopolis?
  24. Ooh...banana Gundam! Yellow and blue? Blue angels paint scheme perhaps?
  25. Are you talking about the shows or the toys? I think overall Eureka is a better show than Aquarion is, but the Eureka toy's paint application are downright horrid. I was down shopping wishing to pick up one of the Terminus (the light blue or Holland's red one) but zomg....none of them at the shop had proper paint application. Like if it wasn't paint bleeding off to the other sides, it was paint not even applied to some small detail.....each toy had a different problem. I never played with one of the toys before, but i think its made of PVC and joints will get loose over time. I'm still not sure if i wanna get the Aquarion. Online reviews say that it can't stand without the stand since its top/back heavy due to the extra backpack that one of the vector forms. And with that kinda money, i was thinking of routing it to a new Ipod Nano instead.
