Why do the armors look so radically different and organic in that Twin Blood OVA? And the evil brother's human form is fairly different between the two as well .

The buyer wanted the armor on.

pencils progress

Just received mine today from Tisinc via Amazon. This bastard is much cooler and larger, actually, than I expected. Heavy too. I think some of you will regret it if you don't get one.

It hasn't arrived yet, but I plan to leave it in cruiser mode as well, next to my other Capital ships like DX titanium Galactica and various Enterprises.

FYI, Tisinc is peddling their wares on Amazon.com now and they have this toy for $119 plus $8 shipping. That rivals or beats all of the ebay overseas prices I've seen. Also, if you have Amazon.com gift certificates like I happened to, you can snag it at a nice discount to boot. I know they have a bad rep with some here but I figure they have to play it straight on sales thru Amazon or else. I ordered one and got the ship notice and tracking number the next day.

Look, it's pretty clear the SDF-1 has knees and they are shown both in the lineart and the movie. You totally ragged on the guy when he was at least partially right and you were partially wrong . He should be allowed to continue posting.

Bent Knees Pic:

Actually, the Macross DOES bend it's knees in DYRL. It's in the scene where it's on earth floating over the island that Hikaru and Misa were on. The Meltran ship blasts off it's main guns and knocks it on it's ass. There is a clear front-on shot showing the knees bent.

I think he's referring to how people post endless wish threads for a YF-19 fast pack or a tread/beta, for example, and then when they are actually produced, there are an equal number of threads about "WTF I'm not paying $x for 2 pieces of plastic and a dildo" threads by a lot of the same wishers. It's kind of annoying after a bit. But whatever, that's what it's all about I guess. On these renditions, I actually like the rounded edges they have gone with. I think they are closer to the line art than Toynami's sharp edge approach. The Legioss has very rounded edges in the lineart.

Bet the whole set costs not much more than Toynami was going to ask for just their Beta. It probably also puts the nail in it's coffin. But I can't believe that Toynami didn't know CMS had this thing in the works. As much as some of you guys want a Tread toy I'm surprised you're already griping on things like super accuracy the attaching arm. Be happy they can link already.

New work in progress

Anyone else think it's odd that the colonies have had space flight technology for over 5000 years (Per the fact that Tyrol said in the Lion's head nebula episode that the 13th colony followed a supernova that happened 5000 yrs ago on their trek to Earth), yet their technology does not seem to have progressed very much (other than FTL drive which really does not seem to fit their tech level). Look at how far we've come in the century since 1907. They should have some crazy futuristoc tech, not wired handsets. Even the newer Pegasus was not far beyond Galactica technologically.

Yeah, if one of those hits customs with your address on it, I see a Fox News Alert with an overhead chopper shot of a ATF team surrounding your house in your future.

Yeah, they keep trotting it out to shows sso what's the deal? They making it or not?

Tigh's also a huge hypocrite. After all the hatred he's expressed in previous episodes and early in this episode about Sagitarrans and others who wouldn't fight the cylons. He got pretty high and mighty with that doctor considering he's been party to a few secret executions of his own. Of course that makes his character that much more realistic since people do rationalize things to justify their own actions vs. others'.

Did you all catch that the license plate on Hiro's dad's limo was NCC-1701 ?

There was a link posted over on TBDX that had very nice multi-angle shots of each finished figure, but their BBS is down. Anyway, they really look great and fairly poseable. I'll be picking up the Garland and Proto Garland at least.

When did Graham say Orguss is unlikely? He knows what the line is so I don't think he will comment for fear of ticking off yamato. I still say it's the most likely.

They're only 10cm tall and do not xform. But they look nice.

Nope, can't be Mospeada because as JS Arclight says HG has the rights tied up - even in Japan. Remember that their MPC alphas were actually released there as well. I'd say it's Orguss. I know there are new smaller scale Orguss toys coming out from some other company, but that means nothing since in Japan they license based on scale. Just look at all the companies besides Yamato currently pumping out Votoms toys in different scales.

I like having PVCs of the pilots to pose with the mechs as well. Baron V, you know they did release one of the female Gundam NT-1 Alex pilot, if you want one of her.

Yeah, this is cool. I have a Hobby Japan with a drawing of a racer Garland. I was going to do a custom and this saves me the trouble.
