treatment

hahahaha! so apt!

That's because Omega Supreme was the last surviving Guardian robot in the TF-G1.

man, the GBP-1J just rox0r!!! that Isamu is really kewl.

Not bad enough to go to a "love hotel" with him on the first date. People are welcome to their interpretations but in my opinion, even though DYRL-Minmay is more grown up, she's not quite a 90's "Sex in the City" woman. *ahem* Look at our mod Roy Focker's avatar. Remember that scene? Yes, you do. I'm not saying she's a tart and she proved it by refusing the love-hotel on the first date.

Minmay-DYRL was a bit older and she was hot. And I mean hot. All those raging pheromones/hormones, man. She doesn't want to just date Hikaru. Minmay wants to do Hikaru really bad. Really bad. And she wasn't holding back nor was she as ditzy or airheaded like the tv-version. She's quite possessive and assertive, too.

hmm. that art looks like it has DYRL-controls.

I have two armor-only sets.

here's one of mine.

finally received my armor-only set yesterday and overall, they're cool. no pics since the cam is not available. few thoughts: [*] as everyone else had reported, the nosecone armor is kinda loose. you might want to use some tissue-scrap to secure them better than the default. or Glue them together permanently. [*] The right-fist peg was too big for my super-1J. So, instead of dyrl-pose, i have the tv-pose where it's holding the gunpod. [*] The whole thing can still do a wide-stance, but kinda barely. Be aware that the vf-1j leg-pegs are shorter because the hip-armor takes alot of space. I don't know if the VF-1J that came with the GBP-set have longer leg-pegs. [*] the toy just looks damn good as a posed-toy. can't play with it that much because of the looseness of the nosecone-armor and the legs/hip-armor. it's still all good.

I'm exaggerating a bit, yeah. But he's definitely quite a bit more understated, dark, and mopey than he gets in Ep. 4. I think the trouble I have with him is that he is a little bit manic-depressive, and especially manic in Ep. 4, which is somewhat jarring in the narrative. But then again, he just saw boobies. -Al Well, Shin did reached first-base with Sara in ep-4. I mean, he one-ups Hikaru already in the studly-dept. Might have had a homerun had it not for the bomb.

No problems with my batch of FP's, yet.

The SOC-series is still the best EVA toy-line.

i really like it. good thing i waited for the sale. pardon the dusty platform, but posing as the new sheriff.

Thus far, only Mao's blood and the AFOS/AIPHOS have shown reaction to Sara's singing. No other Mayan-bloodsamples were shown to have reacted to Sara's singing, therefore they are eliminated from the equation as the Mayan people were not genetically marked as a group. Only Sara and Mao were. The only other option is that the Mayan island itself is the thing that was genetically-marked, i.e. flying rocks and flying totem. The flying totem was composed of "red clay" internally that could mean it's actually some sort of "dried up/solidified blood relic". Mao's blood was compatible with the AFOS. As for the mystical part, it is just that. It's the presentation of Protoculture-tech thru Sara in the Mayan society. She's not magical. There's something else more about her, and by extension, Mao, too. Sara's the religous head of the Mayan society, i.e. the shaman, the priestess, the Guardian of the Wind. All the talk about the Kadun by the Mayan people are religious in nature. Aries cannot scientifically explain Mao's bloodcell-reactions and the PCS coming from Sara when Sara was singing, even tho she had witnessed it personally. She has her own suspicions and it's colored by the protoculture-theory bias. It's so easy.

before you do perma-markers like those gundam-pens, try to practice with the old reliable #2 pencil. That way, you can still clean it up easily if you messed up the lining.

ok. she's hot. like very.

first attempt. different pose. I was doing it last nite, but my new puppy keeps messing with me. need better cam and good lighting and stuff. oh, yeah. just the 51" hdtv from sony. it ain't as expensive as Dafunguy's.

crossposted from the Where-to-Buy forum fyi. ok. RightStuf is doing an Animeigo coupon-sale from today till 6/20/04. 33% off. The coupon to use is steal. http://www.rightstuf.com/main.shtml now get your Macross dvd's!

it is. here's a cut from the R2's designworks pamphlet.

Yes. Of course I am. Limited but directly to the point in application and implication towards analyzing Macross Zero's story, atmosphere/environment, general feel and characters. If you're so inclined, you might also want to check what dictionary.com says about mystical, too.

You just proved that Sara and Zero are more mystical than magical. Sara is a shaman. A priestess. The Guardian of the Wind. In ep-4, she was being trained in the secret knowledge of guardianship by her father. I think the term to use with "witchcraft" is "sorcery", and not "magic". But at any rate, Magic means magic. Like pulling a bunny out of a hat. For cheap entertainment purposes. It involves sleight of hands and fakery through illusions, smokes and mirrors. Etc, etc. Such "qualities" that are not found in Zero or it's characters.

Why refer to Zero's stuff as magical when it is more mystical instead? i.e. magical typically means it just happens and unknown or spur of the moment thingymabob. There's mostly no historical, cultural, anecdotal or scientific documented processes. The term also connotes trickery. whereas mystical connotes something otherworldly and commonly unexplainable by most scientific means, but were clearly known and/or documented in history or legends or myths or cultural traditions.

you mean this?

lol! Hikaru with the afro.

damn. guess there's quite a few MW-members with unlimited disposable income.
