wasabi-elephant's post got me to thinkin' (scary, huh?)...
Here's what Yamato should do to further drain our wallets:
Use blue paint, instead of yellow or red, in the Roy or Hikaru 1S production process. Easy DYRL Max 1S.
Use green paint, instead of red or blue, in the Hikaru or Max 1A production process and change the number to 012. Easy DYRL Kakazaki 1A.
There. Two quick and simple examples of just how easily Yamato could expand their model line and make some fast cash. Very little retooling required. No fuss, no muss, no problem. Will it happen? Probably not.
That being said...
Datterboy, it would not surprise me to see a Max 1A reissue. Or any of the existing versions for that matter. I just don't expect them to do something new.
-
Sweet! It does come with the pre-painted joints on the hands!
-
Back for more, huh? You just never learn do you?
-
Gotta give more props to fulcy for the VF-1D hollow head lasers! Excellent work, as usual! Thanks again!

Neova's posted a good pic here.

Here's some clearer pics, with respect to Graham and Wicked Ace.
Later, scooped-out style headrest
Hope they help.

I haven't had that problem, but in the last two weeks I've received e-mails from other members about auctions I've never been involved in. I got an e-mail from a buyer saying he was pissed his item didn't arrive and he was going to leave me negative feedback, but I wasn't the seller. Just yesterday I received another e-mail from a seller asking me to pay for an item, but I hadn't even bid on it. I just ignored both cases figuring it was someone phishing for my info, but if eBay is having problems, I guess that could mean I just received the e-mails by mistake. Either way, it's pretty scary how eBay can let this kind of thing happen.

Yes, that is exactly what Mann should have done. Same era, same clothes, same music, same damn everything. I'd rather it be an homage to the original '80s series than some Hollywood-cookie-cutter-buddy-movie-uber-gay crap. If the casting gives us any clues as to what the finished product will be like, don't expect much. I don't understand why the hell anyone still hires Colon Farrell (yes, that's how I spell it). The guy is a complete and utter douche-bag and his best acting is when he pretends to not be an a-hole. Jamie Foxx is at least likeable, but if he starts acting stupid, it won't be Tubbs.
Maybe to compete with Brokeback Mountain, Tubbs and Crocket will be lovers so it literally is gay?
No, that wouldn't work. They already tried to make it easy on Colon Farrell and cast him as a homosexual in "Alexander" and that movie bombed. The most natural thing to him and he blew it (pun intended). And that was directed by Oliver Stone, who is normally able to get a good performance from his actors. Hell, even Kevin Costner was good in "JFK". How bad a slam is that to Colon Farrell!? "You're no Kevin Costner!" LOL!

What would be the point of a remake be if it just completely imitated the original?
Uhh, the point would be to make a good movie. This is going to blow. Like Colon Farrell.
-
Sorry, the movie may be called Miami Vice, but it is NOT Miami Vice in any way, shape or form. Yes, there may have been lots of guns and shooting in the trailer and fast boats and planes, but it just did not feel like Vice to me.
And Farrel and Foxx are completely the wrong casting choice as Crocket and Tubbs IMO.
What would you have them do, dress everyone in pastels (hold the socks) and blast Phil Collins (as if he's any better than Jay Z)?
Yes, that is exactly what Mann should have done. Same era, same clothes, same music, same damn everything.

I really wish that Don Johnson and/or Philip Michael Thomas would have just f**king snapped when they heard about this film and stormed the set in a horrifically fantastic killing spree. That woulda been sweet.

also whats the diffrence between the tv vf 1j and the dyrl vf 1j?
I think that's supposed to be Hikaru's DYRL VF-1S, not 1J. The only 1J even shown in DYRL has the GBP armor on it (in a 2-second scene), and looks to be the same paint scheme as a TV Hikaru 1J.

Aw, dammit! I knew I should have sold off my spares when they were going for $300+ a piece!

PM Anasazi37. He's got what you need.

You're welcome, DatterBoy. Glad I could help. Looks awesome!

You left in the middle of the season-ending cliff-hanger? Wow, that's harsh! LOL! Personally, the whole "Exodus/Enemies" two-parter is one (or two, depending on your point of view) of my favorites from the entire series.
Anyway... I will admit that the early seasons are the best; everything was still new and fresh. Although it was nice for the Sci-Fi Channel to pick it up after Showtime passed on season six, the cheese factor has gone up. But I like cheese... and so must other people; it still draws a huge audience, even in reruns.
Plus, it's success has also helped lead to the strong ratings for "Atlantis" and "BSG". It's been renewed for a record tenth season (gotta beat "The X-Files", can't just be tied), so you've got to give them credit for that.

While I'm happy for you getting more time with the family, I must admit that I'm bummed to lose your fantastic service, Kevin. Thank you for everything you've done for all of us over the years.

I laughed my ass off when I saw that comic in the paper! The guys at work thought I had lost my mind!
-
Pretty cool. Now where's the 1/6 scale valk?
-
-
It's here in the models section.
-
Seeing Devon Aoki reminds me of that episode of "American Dad" where Steve and Roger the alien go on a double-date and Roger gets stuck with the mutt.
"But Steve... she's so ugly. Sooooooo ugly."
-
Looks good, but what are the chances we'll get these pre-painted hands?
I expect they'll be just plain white (or white-ish, if you will). Regardless, someone here has to recast these badboys.

Other 1/48's
in Toys
We need some 1/48 enemy mecha! Since we've got 1/60 Q-Raus, I suggest 1/48 Glaugs and Regulds! If you think the boxes for 1/48 valks are big, just imagine how freaking huge these would be! Postage would cost as much as the toys, but dammit they would be sweet!
-
Looks damn good (as usual)! You know I'll be down for some of these!
It's hard not to order two.

Is it even Japanese? With how Matt and Trey think, it's probably not even a real language. Just nonsense surrounding the key phrase of "protect my balls". That's good advice though. Now everytime someone attacks me with a katana, the first thing I think of is, "Are my genitals secure?" LOL!
