  1. Hikaru watching Miss Minmay contest: Imma gonna fire my load!!!!
  2. I like the red hip tips.
  3. Think of it as "Bandai webshop"
  4. The GBP sporting Max looked pretty standard. You know the supers will be Tamashii exclusive extras right?
  5. No, it hasn't been announced in any capacity. A Max 1J was shown wearing a GBP at a show but that doesn't mean much.
  6. I think it's going to be GBP 15K¥ and separate Gray Goggle VF-1J 18¥. Maybe that's just what I'm hoping as the idea of including a head with the GBP is a turn-off.... although maybe that explains why Max was shown with a separate GBP... they would include paired heads with each custom like they did with the wings on the 171 and its super parts.
  7. The "launch edition" moniker implies reissues. I think it will be standalone with a reissue announced at the same time for the following month. A gray slip cover would have been great for dressing up future M&M 1Js... Not sure how a reissue would handle the visor.
  8. There's already been one Macross without Kawamori.
  9. What makes you say that? I know it was never finished but I understood that to be related to the difficulty of keeping Mikimoto's attention rather than not generating any interest. Apparently there was enough interest for it to survive moving from one publication to another.
  10. I feel like that needs to be Photoshopped to change "25% LESS SODIUM" to be "Itano's Original, 1000% more missiles" or something similar
  11. Maybe this means Macross the First is the next animation project.
  12. TRUTH
  13. Knowing nothing about Gundam... I was like "cool, live action robot fights!" Then I came to this thread and became very apprehensive.
  14. Harmony Gold doesn't make video games or comics. I don't know how the comic book industry works but I imagine it's like other merchandise where someone says "Hey, can I use your name and characters and give you a cut?" HG then says "Sure" and can either insist on the project being some level of quality.. or not. They're probably NOT specifying how REMIX or any of those other comics should play out... they're probably just scanning them to make sure there's nothing offensive. If that's the case, those are their mediums of choice because they're nearly zero effort all profit endeavors.
  15. Which is honestly, how all scifi universes should be. Look at all the people that get rankled because Star Trek or Star Wars takes liberties or seemingly forgets elements from previous movies. Kawamori's "none of it is actually what happened" is a perfect way to deal with this.
  16. I'm at lease excited to see some names I haven't seen in eons on the forums again. Welcome back folks!
  17. These types of things seldom happen quickly. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these conversations have been ongoing for a while, perhaps even pre-dating COVID and then accelerating. The suits in Japan may have even been the starting point with the Tatsunoko contract extension only happening because this was in the works and would allow all parties to have a cohesive plan forward. Everyone at HG that really had a dog in the fight is retired or dead and the kids are just cleaning up to try to keep a revenue stream going.
  18. In the merchandise front, it might mean BW won't forbid manufacturers to distribute in HG's territory so I've got my fingers crossed. Small HG manufacturers won't gain much as they won't have any distribution in Japan but Bandai might benefit. Too bad yamato didn't live to this day.
  19. My brother just asked what I want for my birthday.... I always have room for another OP.
  20. So as the one license holder who poked BigWest with a stick, do we think CW will now stop doing VF-1 models?
  21. Pretty sure those are vaporware.
