Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
fifbeat replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Bought/pre-ordered every single Hi-Metal R Macross toy available. -
They still have pre-orders up for Regults at both Yesasia and Motor City Toys.
-
Hopefully there's a possibility they made the "upper legs" bigger for the final product. Doubt it though.
-
Pre-ordered as well. If it ends up sucking, I can always re-sell and get my money back (plus profit)...
-
Cheers. Yeah, Macross keeps me coming back. I get in, and out, of it every time. Obsessions always come back to haunt me. Something about this stuff that can't be ignored. These valks are like drugs. Pre-ordered. I think you're doing a flawless job. Keep it up.
-
Thanks for posting this article. Very VERY interesting. If this guy isn't involved, not sure if I'd be interested. If the two Yune brothers are going to have a say, then, uh, I dunno...
-
It's just a play on how long it has been since I've been on his site. His youtube vids are much better. Sometimes he has female models doing transformations.
-
That totally explained it. Excellent read on the link F360 provided. I swear, I haven't visited your site since 1964! But have been keeping a close watch on most of your videos.
-
F360.... thanks for the info. I should have known better to check out Anymoon first, but I've been paying closer attention to his youtube channel than his website lately. That Hi-Metal R VF-1S looks VERY gray... I'm assuming it's just the way the photography is.
-
Cool, so no need to pay high dollar for the previous "Hi Metal" Roy. If anyone can still answer those others questions... cheers.
-
I've been so out of the loop.... can someone fill me in? So what's the difference between the Hi-Metal R and the original Hi-Metal line? Correct me if I'm wrong: the only Hi-Metal R's that have been released so far are the VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Red/Black) and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie? Do the two above have the same plastic color (off white/grayish)? Is a Hi-Metal VF-1S (Black/Yellow) coming out soon? Thanks so much in advance. I've done research on the net, but I still want someone from this forum to clarify for me. Appreciate your replies in advance.

=D http://www.cityonfire.com/the-robotech-saga-continues-with-love-live-alive-dvd/ So i take it, this was 1985's Genesis Climber Mospeada: Love Live Alive dubbed into the world of Robotech... interesting.
-
Trailer is out now! =D http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/pacificrim/
-
My thoughts exactly. Especially when it's not even Subtitled.
-
Sorry about that. My bad. =D
-
I think Macross fans will get a kick out of this: Check out the plot. It involves piloted-giant robots fighting alien forces, supposedly the size of monsters like Godzilla. http://www.cityonfir...new-sci-fi-pic/ In other live-action Japanese Robot news, check out the trailer to a Hong Kong film called Let's Go: (trailer at link below) http://www.cityonfir...g-kong-blu-ray/ EDIT: Mods, sorry, I meant to post this in "Anime or Science Fiction" please move. Thanks!
-
Need some non-color lights in there. Otherwise, not bad.
-
Yeah, you figured the webmaster at robotech.com would login and make a simple 2 second update. Waiting as well.

5.5 FOOT LONG PLAYMAKE SDF-1 TOY anyone know anything about this thing
fifbeat replied to ae_productions's topic in Toys
I remember this thing. Yeah, 1985 they were in and around stores. I never bought it. I remember it being pricey and... well... look at it. lol boxy and terrible looking. It IS what it is. Literally. Nice find though. A for sure collector's item. -
I agree. Most of the knock off packaging from the 80's looked 10,000 times better than these. Slap some damn anime on there (ie Bandai). How to make Yamato box art: 1) Type in Space Background in stockphotos.com 2) Mask out toy photo 3) Pick a generic serif font, bold it, then apply a embroid-type filter and stroke to it 4) Put random starbursts in and around the picture ATTENTION ALL GRAPHIC DESIGNERS: Yamato is hiring graphic designers. Must own your own copy of photoshop and a powermac. We'll pay you $13 an hour! And 10% off all product (excluding exclusives). Japan residents only please.
-
Same here. Heck, most of the time when you're watching the movie/TV show - the stuff doesn't match the line art; and it all looks better or worse, depending on the angles, etc. etc. etc. As long as the final product looks good, I'm happy. With the "almost" TV version of the SDF, I could totally bend for; especially since Yamato is actually doing a slightly different version to make us happy.
-
That would be close enough to me. Never knew they were that different (other than the color and arms).
-
I want to hear them too! I never realized the difference between the TV and MOVIE version. Thanks for posting. Any compare pictures in transformation form?
-
I don't know. I'd take it as a compliment... at least you know there are people out there looking at your work. My thing is: if you put it up on the net, say bye bye...
-
$400.... not bad. not good. I think I'm down.
