    Yeah, but that’s kinda to be expected. The markings are also a different set for those that wanted someone other than Roy or Hikaru, but that’s just recolored decals. Now people can do the Kakizaki vs Queadluun Rau diorama 😞

    It’s definitely a good show for a semi historical drama. My lady absolutely loves it and gets mad that we gotta wait for the next episodes every time one ends. It’s so far an early highlight for the year and will be tough competition for best show of the year for most people. It’s still only the first quarter and there’s a few shows I’m interested in coming up soon and one I haven’t had the chance to start yet

    While that would be cool, after seeing their other products I’m expecting a weird Macross lobster

    I don’t know specifics on sales numbers, but I always saw Gundam models in hobby shops and rarely Macross. Even at odd swap meets where you could find macross items, there was still more Gundam stuff and that was even before Gundam became a thing here in the U.S. Strangely it was easier to see things visually like video tapes from Macross, like Plus and 2, maybe the occasional videotape of the movie and Robotech Macross, but I feel as the 90’s started even things like Americanized versions of Macross kits became a rarity. Merchandise like toys and models were definitely more Macross heavy in the mid 80’s to early 90’s while mid 90’s on seemed to be more and more Gundam items of various types

    As far as a movie, it needs a bit more focus, if it were a series not so much. Disney unfortunately isn’t great at story telling these days, so I don’t expect much out of them. But there’s plenty of room for more Din’n Grogu. They didn’t die and they didn’t seem like the types to just sit back and do nothing just because certain goals were met.

    After seeing what they have for other anime in the last couple years, it seems like a bit of a list of disappointing items

    Oh, I just found this for the Eva fansseems they do bugs and odd crustaceans with various anime themes. This may just end up an awkwardly disappointing item like a Macross themed insect or something, but after a while these were the only kits I could find from them with joints and they seem rather limited

    Wave kinda does almost more stuff in 1/72 scale. I think the only did the multi modes of the VF-1 in 1/100 with a few minor variations. Other than that they were all larger scale. As far as Fujimi, I couldn’t find any examples of robotic kits or really anything with joints, but I’m no expert on their stuff. I have a feeling they will stick to what they know

    I guess they didn’t want to wait for the Battroid kit to come out

    I wouldn’t mind some of the ships. A good tv version of the Macross or some of the Zentraedi ships would be nice for a start. I also wouldn’t mind seeing some of the non transforming aircraft. I’m not super familiar with the company and have seen some real world kits, but haven’t paid enough attention to notice any sci-fi stuff from them

    Well after a rewatch, since overall it was still a pretty good episode compared to the last one
  12. Big s
    That’s a pretty cool display

    This episode was one that’s tough to talk about without a spoiler tag

    I’d watch the dub version just for that. But to be honest, it will probably just be a bunch of the usual no name over actors they usually get for modern dubs. Christopher Walken for Exedol’s head in Macross 7 please

    It’s one of these things where DC is spreading itself too wide. Too many non connected films and confusion over what is connected. There’s also the whole The Batman thing as well. But I guess I’m less interested in this since the first film felt one and done and I think I’m tired of Harley. Nowadays it just seems like you can’t have joker exist without her. That and this one is a musical and I’m really not a fan of musicals

    Some of my favorites from that line of models
  17. Big s
    Yeah, for some reason I’m not all that excited for this one. I liked the first and saw it in the theater, but so far this just doesn’t interest me as much. Maybe it’ll be greater than I expect, but for now I’ll just wait and see
  18. Big s
    I like these little kits. They’re fun to build and I think I’m gonna have to get this one. One of my odd favorites is the weird frog power armor. They have another one with fishes that’s on the way that’s equally as silly.

    If the were the proper size, my aunt would never have bought me that Rattler for Christmas. Or give my brother the Sky Striker. We never did get anyone to buy us the uss Flagg. And if that thing was actually in scale, only the richest of spoiled kids would’ve owned it

    The question isn’t whether The Mandalorian has anywhere story wise to go, but if Disney can give him a story worth watching. I could easily watch a bunch of episodes of him doing the whole bounty hunter thing to earn cash or rescuing a random village from whatever. I just don’t want a story that’s written badly and I really don’t want to waste my time seeing him constantly getting captured and needing rescue constantly.

    I feel the same about the original episodes after my rewatch. But I was kinda expecting the hype to be from people that just remember the show being better than it was. As far as my expectations, I was on the opposite end and kinda expected a lot more of the same with more cringy moments. I haven’t seen today’s episode yet, but for the most part the show was far better than I expected. There’s still some cringy moments like Cyclops scooting around the ground with his eyebeams or that whole jubilee in a video game episode and Goblin Queen going full Sailor Moon, but I’m liking far more than I thought I’d dislike. My biggest problem so far with this and the old episodes is that it does that Disney thing of expecting that you have prior knowledge of events that happened previously in other media. One minor example would be the whole thing about Morph’s face. Last we left off he just had emo shadows around his eyes. I hear there’s some story in the comics that explains things, but I stopped reading those years before Morph was actually in the comics. At that time he was a cartoon original like Harley Quin. If I remember correctly there was a similar character that showed up once in a while named Mimick or something, but I don’t really remember that character much either. I just wish that if they had a cool story to tell, they’d do that in the show rather than expect you to pick up a thirty something year old comic to fill the gaps or worse, a recent Marvel comic

    You picked a couple of good ones in my opinion.
  23. Big s
    That’s something I’m a bit worried about as well. It would definitely be a dealbreaker if they pulled that move again
  24. Big s
    Sorry, forgot about those, although that still isn’t much more to the list

    I think the big thing for Hasegawa has always been aircraft. They have done more robotic type stuff here and there, and recently have become a bit more adventurous. That’s probably why they tend to focus on the fighters for Macross. The fact that they even attempted Zentraedi mecha at all was a real surprise to me. Up until that it was mainly the battroid kit of the VF-1 and Zero a few Virtual On kits and a bit of Ma K stuff.
