    Lol, 110 - we're in for it now!

    From that last vid, I'm guessing this is going to be a hefty sumbitch. BTW, HLJ has the 2nd issue for preorder.
  3. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Hmm, how do I convince mama bear that this is definitely a Valentine's Day movie we have to see?

    This came out of left field: Vixen 357. While the translated version has been out there for a while now, it's cool to see it or get the royal treatment.

    So I've been asking HLJ to offer subscription services for the Hachette kit. The end result is that they can't offer a subscription, BUT they will now offer individual issues for sale. 1st one now on preorder: https://hlj.com/space-battleship-yamato-2202-1-350-yamato-weekly-magazine-001-hsjwym001

    Nope they didn't. The shot is from The Man in the High Castle where an alternative outcome of WWII takes center, so that's why we see a Kamov helicopter buzzing the Yamato.

    A whimsical coming of age story that centers around the glory days of japanese arcades and video game consoles? Yeah, I think I'm hooked on Hi Score Girl. The second episode was a love letter to sick days and the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 so I totally connected with it.

    Kyo looks good, even better than the upcoming 1/6 figure. Terry Bogard might just get a well sculpted figure.

    Surprisingly, Books Kinokuniya couldn't offer their services for the Hachette subscription. My best guess for anyone who wants to get in on this is Amazon JP or some proxy service.
  10. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yeah, that must be it. I think that kit hit the market before 2199 was released.

    Huh, even though they're at the same scale, the Hachette model is going to be longer at 3.1 feet as opposed to Bandai's at 2.8 feet; a difference of just over 3 inches.
  12. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Just for kicks I asked Books Kinokuniya Web for a subscription quote to get the whole model. It might be cheaper for those who live close to an actual Kinokuniya store.

    No worries. I'm just glad Sentinel is actually taking a stab at it.

    What is this? http://www.hcj.jp/2202/home.html Is this another build-a-ship project from a magazine subscription?
  15. Valkyrie Hunter D
    My Google-fu is weak on this one. Do you have a link?

    I got the small Dorvack Ovelon helicopter from that toy line. Totally loved it.

    My cousin is a huge Garfield nut and would absolutely adore this. I need to find this for him.

    Anyone else tinkering around with Launchbox for their retro needs? I really dig the UI on this one. Got MAME up and going for it and so far I have no issues with. For the SEGA consoles, it's apparently easier to use Retroarch within Launchbox. It just strikes me as odd to use a frontend within another one.

    Ooh, I need this for my black Getter-thanks for the heads up!
  20. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yep, my AC bundle is finally on the way too. Time to dust off my VR goggles!
  21. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Mmm, bulky mecha - totally loving it. It reminds a lot of a Zenith wanzer from Front Mission, especially the upper body. I just might have to get one if it makes it to the production line.

    I finally got my Wei Jiang Blackout. Frankly, I don't like the parts-forming going on with the fuselage pieces. Was it all done for the Scorpinok diorama gimmick? With all the engineering done to improve upon the original Studio Series Blackout, WJ could've knocked it out of the park by integrating the fuselage pieces in the transformation. Another niggle I have is with the painted red and white stripes on the tail rotor piece; they're not painted straight as they wrap around the piece. It just looks sloppy when compared to the rest of the paint apps on the toy. While they were at it, they also could've molded the tail rotor blades in the same color as the main rotor blades. That being said, I still think it is a killer toy. It feels rock solid and stable. WJ did an excellent job with the molded details and the intricate paint apps. Its imposing presence on my shelf almost makes me forget about the huge pieces left out for it's alt mode. Anyways, much kudos to WJ; this is a serious upgrade to any movie Blackout toy released in the past.

    Definitely a unique, and killer, take on Getter. If I can track one down when more funds are available, it will be mine.
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    And now an English cover, which actually isn't too bad!
