It's such a smart move though because they will pair perfectly with the Sentinel toys. They should include a 1/48 version with each to go along with the Legioss toys. A 1/48 Jeep as a PO bonus for one of the figures would get my money. 

The fists and the wheels are homages to old school toys.

There are some big shadows in that shot, hard to say what the colors are supposed to be.

When they sell out, here's another option:

and this is now live, same price as anime-export, 3000yen more expensive than HLJ

Well I got one from HLJ so, someday, I'll review it and look hard for differences. 

Yes, only original Macross toys are not 

Are they legit though?

That's a healthy delay.

That chest is deep looking. This is a big improvement from the first attempt while simultaneously bringing something new in the two tone approach. 

I think it's a factor of WWM and an attempt to test the waters with some known winners... Why WWM started with a new non canon VF-25, I understand less.

Every Macross fan needs at least one Yamato or Arcadia 1/60 v2. It is still great, no doubt. 

Maybe this is just the first of the whole Delta gang getting reissues....

Gauntlet thrown down... we have to figure out a transformation for Kaneda's bike! 

Is it too much to hope they'll add a joint to the articulated hands so they're not always pointing at something?

Darn, msised it!

I watched transformers when I was six so it feels about right to me. I'd watch it with my kids... Probably better than most the YouTube stuff they're into.

Anyone in Tokyo or Osaka willing to help a fellow out?

Does anyone know of a website that documents old Votoms releases? I would like to go back and clean-up my scopedog posts and contain some historical information like release dates and prices. 

Does anyone own this Votoms Toy Collection book 

https://www.hlj.com/armored-trooper-votoms-real-toy-collection-mdw23728

I'm curious if it has a bunch of the data I would like in one easy spot. If I could confirm that I would be happy to grab a secondhand copy somewhere. 

LOL, I wouldn't argue that! I'm standing by my opinion that that scheme is better than the KC. 

There's also an argument to be made that both Max & Miria should have a white chest (matching the stripe on their VF-1) with white cuffs but make the forearms and shoulder armor bay doors blue or red to match their VF-1. That would essentially be doing what was done for Hikaru with the assumption that the white parts were white because Hikaru's VF-1 was white. If I had time I'd mock that up. It'd probably be easier and cheaper for KC too because only a couple parts would be unique between the two. Heck, if they went that route, it'd be a piece of cake to make a cannon fodder version also! 

Well, it's the first WWM release of the regular 31J so I guess it makes sense.

I really feel like they missed the mark on the GBPs for Max & Miria... they're just too similar to the paint schemes of the underlying toys without enough contrast. Rick's GBP doesn't look just like his fast packs. I actually prefer Toynami's rather simple effort:

I think I'm going to get these.

But the only M&M toys have super parts... 

Ya know, while that's true, Bandai has done plenty of bizarre things in the past. So likely they won't touch it but.... if that's your thing, you can hold out hope.

Technically not the most recent, but pretty stoked to have got the Master Made Makuros SDF-1 earlier this year. It is quite a well made.

A little fun fact, this is the toy that I get the most frequent inquiries about through my website. If Master Made is still around, they really should do another print.

Said it elsewhere, so probably should here: If anyone needs someone to try and pick up a copy for them at Tamashii NYC, I would try.

I just don't know if purchase limits will be imposed for this like they were at the Tamashii popup at Grand Central for the Max VF-0S.

If we find out it will be sold there, I will definitely hit you up!
