So I went to check on my valk pilots and I was shocked to find Max & Miria doing unspeakable things! Apparently Max is wearing green protection... Eh, just foolin' around, I checked three valks that have had their pilots in them the entire time and no fudged pants. I wonder if it's just the CFs or somethin'?

I think someone on RT.com said this version (I think it's actually official, not a bootleg) worked great for them. I think I also remember hearing something about a wood box?? I think you can get RT: The complete edition for about $40 within the US also if you watch eBay.

Mitch, this is no way a criticism of you, but the forum has a search feature that you should use. There have been lots of long conversations about MacZero already and I'm sure you'll find many of the answers you're looking for.

Cool, thanks for the offer! At some point in the near future I'll pull it out and take a few transition shots so it would animate better. Don't be surprised if you get a random PM about this like a month from now!

Don't forget folks, this is Toynami. The fact wave 1 made it out when it did is a miracle. It was Toynami's FIRST product that didn't suffer a SIX month delay or greater. That's not anti-Toynami ramblings, it's fact.

I see, thank you for the heads-up in return

Just a heads-up Skull, there's a ban on animated avatars. I don't think there's any chance that this movie will not be released now that another company has a vested interest in it other than HG.

You know, I honestly never even considered that. Do you want to see it in the Blue or Brown GBP? I'm planning on putting up very revised review of the GBP soon (so that I could include the new release and better pics). Glad you guys are diggin' the gallery! I definitely agree about the Max armor. The color isn't quite a perfect match but it's definitely close enough. It's too bad the Miria armor is just a little too blood red. Unfortunately I'm very computer illiterate. Right now all it is is a sequence of like 8 photos of the Angelbird throwing punches (he didn't have his gun after all) that I just click "next photo" in my weak attempt of animating it.

LOL, yeah, I was having some fun and actually did a little stop-motion of it shadow-boxing.

Hey everybody, I did a huge spread on Yamato's Angelbird release on my site. I normally don't create a new topic as a redirect but I kinda went nuts on this one and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep this many pics up for. Here's some samples: I encourage you to go check it out here: the ULTIMATE ANGELBIRDS GALLERY. Mods, if this feels too spammy then feel free to delete it and I'll just post a less offensive link in the 1/48, 1/72, 1/60 thread. Thanks -

Imai did release some molded in color though. The kits are pretty terrible though. As to the size question, they're exactly the same size as the MPC as Toynami used these models in the development of their toy. In fact, the MPC is pretty much just a better version of what you see here. I wonder why these folks didn't pull the fins out?? EDIT - Yes, they are the same exact size even if Toynami says they're 1/55 and Imai says they're 1/48. Neither company has the scale exactly right. In fighter mode the toys are some whacky scale (too big) and in Battroid they're firmly between 1/48 and 1/55.

I'm doing some pretty exhaustive photo shoots of my entire collection right now, it's involved taking every pilot out at some point or another. So far no butts stuck to paint <knocking on wood>

The second screen shot from the top features a clearly over-exposed Hik VF-1S (as if he is direct line of a giant spot light from the SDF-1). As such, I wouldn't say it really supports a white head-laser argument. Basically, all discussion over what color the head lasers and shields are *supposed* to be aside, Yamato should have at least strived for consistency. We may never know if the head lasers should be white but we didn't need that debate driven home every time we pose the skull squadron toys with each other.

I'm in the process of re-working all the Yamato 1/48 stuff on my website. I just put this Updated Yammy 1/48 Review on the site. It might help you see why the 1/48 gets so much love. In the event it does not, I should be posting a bunch more 1/48 stuff in the next week or two to get some more experiences and pics out to everybody...

ghostbusters... nice

It still may be a minority opinion but I agree whole-heartedly.

I don't know why, but this seems like a good place to point out how cool Firefly was (especially on DVD with the other episodes and slightly altered dialogue). Serenity was a wonderful way of tying that story up also. Asian TV doesn't do the long drawn out series huh? No Simpsons in Asia? Well, on the one hand that saves you from the ridiculous "jump the shark" moments but some shows do go out gracefully over here too.

This thing will retail in Japan and the surrounding areas for $120 is my guess. Put a $20 mark up on it and ship it to the US and I'm thinking $170 should be the max price. For those considering going to Neova, I think it took 4 days for his package to make it to me... I call that fast. I don't know his asking price at the moment, nor do I know how quick he gets things from Yamato, but if shipping time alone counts then I could vouch for him.

At the risk of harshing the love-fest, those last episodes also have some really REALLY lame moments to them also. I know my memory is a bit tainted by the animation in some parts also though. That episode with Minmay in the fork prison and the zents smoking giant cigars and eating giant drumsticks definitely comes to mind.

I thought the old Yammy arms couldn't handle the gun but the new ones could?

There's gotta be like a pinned thread we could direct this guy to right? Talk bad about MOSPEADA man, c'mon, do it. I dare you... <heads into other room to sharpen knife> Those whose franchises include Macross7 should not throw stones.

So how do I get cabinets like those? Are they from one of the custom vendors online, are they something you did on your own, or are they something you can buy somewhere?

You need Marlboro Milds, I believe they're blue so you wouldn't even have to switch brands.
