Shiiiittt.....and my 1/48 VF-1S with F/P is on a shelf 8 feet from the ground in gerwalk mode. I hope it doesn't take a plunge like yours....despite you promoting its durability How does one like you keep making it fall from high places anyway? Wind blew it? Cat got to it? I'm considering getting the Toynami Alpha....since it looks like the best rendition of the Legioss so far. But if I can use the money to buy another 1/48 or half of it to buy a VF-0S....i'll skip on that.

I doubt the final release will have them panel lines...but one can wish. The figure looks good only in Battroid mode, imho. In fighter mode, the air intakes look huuuuge, or it may just be perspective. Instead of the rotational calves, they should've just kept the rotating knees that were in the 1/48s. I hope the PVC is at least Gundam FIX Quality. But PVC don't make for very good transforming parts. PS: Ooh...and the tail fins bend dowards away from each other, not into each other.

That's practically all the poses you can get with em. It can't crouch or stuff.

Do the variable Glauugs and Monsters consider as Destroids?

That is the Systema Sephiroticum or the Kabbalah-ic tree of life. It is not on the dead sea scrolls but created by some scholar dude who wrote the Kaballah, a somewhat bible for some splinter Jewish religion. And by the looks of the screenshot, it seems like they threw in random mythos and "old drawings" around like the Egyptian "All Seeing Eye", Leonardo Da Vinci's human guy drawing ( i fail to know the name), I don't know what is on its leff, and Stonehenge on its right. Maybe Pasford's theory was the odd mysteries of the world (or ancient advanced civilisations )are all linked to the Protoculture.

Need pictures. Compare them to other gashapon.

What...like those DOAX ones they are selling? *edges away from dna slowly* this forum is turning creepy.

I don't see why Mac Zero is overstepping this though. Althought it remains to be revealed why the russians were the ones who originated the transformation technology and the UN aquiring if for themselves. It probably just so happens the new valks which are coincidentally designed to be variable (with the real intention of fighting giants) are also coincidentally more uber fast, powerful and agile than normal fighters, as demonstrated on how a single SV-51 pwned a whole squadron of F-14s. So its not really a Robot VS Robot issue. They just happen to be variable for the original purpose of fighting giants but have many other tactical advantages as well, like what Ewilen said. Well...that's how I see it anyway.

Who's "Insane" Itano???

So is the Monster the only random figure in this set, or is it like CF18's 1st guess, that its shipped in parts with the other figs?

Cool. Can you point me to the birthdates? I just wanna know the seniority at least.

Yes....I must have it if just for the monster.... What are these anyway? Trading figures? Who produces them? Graham mentioned Tomy?

More questions on Moaramia Jifon from M3..... why do I see her in officer's uniform in a flash at the end of the intro, and slightly taller. She grows up to be an officer with the UNSpacy? And the compendium doesn't have much info on the other Jenius daughters. Anyone know where else I can find out about them, especially on the one that appears in Dynamite, Emirria/Emillia.

Max and Millia especially need them restraints. I see the immense amount of inertia they go through in the M3 op. They were literally standing in their cockpits, fighting intertia......

With "sempais" like Roy Fokker...its no wonder.....

Good, because it will be 1 to 2 years before I can afford to get the Max and Millia 1/48s! Same....hoping that they don't become rare like them 1/48s. Problem with Yammies is that, they can get hard to find, depending on where you are. I'm sure Hong Kong won't be a problem though....

that kinda cash can feed me for a month.

Shouldn't be too hard since its almost quite similar to the YF-21, but of course we'd prefer if they redesigned it abit to fix some of the problems with the YF-21. Colors for VF-22s include M&M red and blue, and dark blue for Gamlin's in Dynamite.

Has anyone seen the anime Otaku No Video? Its a tongue in cheek anime about otakudom and its sad truths. Negative social stigmas for one, crazy buying of anime merchandise and doing otaku-ish things like customising Macross toys. It has quite alot of Macross references like the Super VF-1S in one of the main character's mecha collections, traded some cels for the "yet to be released" DYRL? movie design sketches and then the discussion that follows suit were absolutely hilarious because its just like how the members here in MW talk. "Wow! They are all going to be super valkyries this time round! And it seems there will be a new beam weapon called Strike Cannon.....doesn't Min May now look cool? Anno's Elintseeker is awesome (who is anno btw? can't be hideaki anno can it?)" etc. There was no shame in revealing the proud joy of being an otaku, despite what everyone thinks.

It does bear more resemblance to the mac2 destroid than the original tomahawk though.

Probe hasn't been updating lately has he? Was waiting for a update for almost a year that time and I gave up visiting after that.

I was abit worried about getting a girlfriend when I heard that toys and anime is a turn off to girls. Then when I discovered that people here have LIVES (not complete nerdo geeko ppl) and have gfs and wives who accept their hobby, I'm feeling more secure now.

Her name is Moaramia Jiffon (later Jenius), an adoptive daughter of Max and Millia. And her mecha is an Variable Glaug, but I don't know much, I never played M3. Macross Compendium Mecha: Variable Glaug Macross RPG - UN Spacy Data Terminal - Variable Glaug Thank you, Zero Ena.

Re-fluff maybe?
