    That’s a lot of weight for this lil legs.

    That’s how it was for me as a kid. I had a very small group of friends that knew about it, but no one else either heard of it or they didn’t like the show. We had quite a few comic shops and those comics were instantly in the bargain bin getting discounted more and more as the years went by. We also had a few gaming shops and Robotech had very few players compared to D and D Or Battletech and many of those players thought the mecha were fast originals and everything else came after. I do wish Robotech had been more popular, but it really wasn’t. I think Harmony Gold clinging to the brand with such a tight grip hurt them overall. If they had struck better deals early on they could’ve marketed themselves as a company that was able to bring the rest of the Macross franchise overseas, but they have become a mostly forgotten relic. When the 90’s anime popularity hit they were behind the times to bring thing’s forward. They did a couple runs of Robotech on tv, but the new generation of anime fans weren’t as happy with stories being changed from the original and they would seek out the original versions of DBZ, Sailor Moon and Macross as best they could. If harmony gold did things right they could have been in better shape. Now they just have increasingly worse comics and have to rely on toys that most people are buying because they can’t get the Japanese versions as easily

    Looks great and a lot of the detailing looks very believable, like if you photoshopped a cool airfield or hangar around it that it could fool the eyes into thinking it’s the real thing

    I just always remembered those comics forever in the discount bins at the comic shops. I don’t think kids ever lined up for them. Comics with toy and cartoon tie ins rarely lasted with only a couple of brands that stuck around. I think GI Joe might be the only big title I can think of. personally, I always thought at the time Robotech was first airing that each show was a different season. So I kinda thought at the time that it had three seasons. It felt longer than a lot of other shows I was into at the time like Dungeons and Dragons

    I don’t know, I haven’t actually known a single person that remembers Ulysses 31. But Thunderbirds was a different story. Although most people knew as the weird puppet show. I think having an odd style of tv show made it more memorable

    I get what he’s saying though. When I was growing up everyone remembered go bots or transformers or GI Joe and voltron , but if you remembered Robotech, you were kind of a rarity. Even when the show was first airing a lot of the kids I knew compared it to a soap opera and didn’t like it. After it aired and meeting people in the gaming community( which was another odd ball rarity of a group), there were many that swore that Macross was a ripoff of battletech. That brought up many arguments from me and only an even smaller group of people. It was pre internet and finding information to back up your side of an ultra nerd argument wasn’t that easy.

    I think these people are doing it as more of a show off kinda thing

    That’s like a collection of some of the ugliest artwork ever allowed in comics.

    So an average zeta series female pilot. Those chics were written in such an awkward way on that show. Then again most female characters in gundam were awkward. Not saying there weren’t some odd quirks with the guys, just seemed that if they were female, you wouldn’t know what side they’re on

    Some people have already shown off finished prints of the new master grade kit that hasn’t even really been announced yet.

    Snarf looks totally satanic

    The pods and guns can be easily removed from the back

    I know Rozz definitely had some major issues, and I’ve seen both in concert, but I prefer the older music. The valor years are like a completely different sound mainly because there was no one left from the original band. I remember in the early nineties you could actually catch a show by two versions of the band. As far as Rozz, I also liked Shadow Project.

    Not too many live vids with Rozz seem to exist. It’s wild how things have changed in the age of the cell phone. Nowadays you’re guaranteed to find a video on YouTube of any concert no matter the status of the band.

    You should crumple up a brown recycled napkin and put it on a stand in front of it and do a shooting effect for fun

    Yeah, I’m confused

    That Duke looks more like one of those forgettable action villains from a Van Damme movie

    I might check it out. It looks more like a home watch though

    Odd to see it as anti earth, yet set up for atmospheric flight

    I think it’s a weird color illusion. Unpainted it definitely looks longer, but with the colors and lighting it somehow looks different

    You could also see if anyone here has an extra set of the decals you’re looking for

    Maybe you could leave the sheet intact and lay down the masking tape right on top. Then peel the tape and place it on the part

    I keep thinking that TLA stands for the live action rather than the Last Airbender. If he gets drunk on air, he’d probably be pretty bad with cough syrup
