  1. Just rewatched Fury Road and in the beginning of the movie Max does mention that he was a cop. 45 years plus another ten or twenty between would’ve made max a baby pulling people over in a stroller. There were things like Furiosa having a clan set up for when she was younger. The only thing that sorta might make sense is if this collapse was a tougher thing in certain areas and Max maybe was a cop in an area that hadn’t totally fallen for at least twenty something years after whatever collapse occurred
  2. I guess that’s a thing I’m curious about. All the pictures and screen shots look really close to the kit for the movie version, the surface details seem to have less going on than the tv version and I also know that the moscato version has added detail that wasn’t on the original, like the rivets.
  3. I like your interpretation of the tv version, I’m curious on what you would change other than height on the movie version. To me the Hasegawa looks really great compared to its line art pictures and animation. I’m not the worlds best expert and don’t have every bit of technical info, so I would love to know what things about this aren’t up to your standards.
  4. It was a silly time, but I miss those comics now.
  5. Better late than never
  6. Lookin real good
  7. She’s definitely not a sympathetic character, but she also doesn’t represent all of Zeon. And just to be clear the feds were nuking entire colonies as well before the colony drop. One side would do an atrocity followed by the other side. Ramba Ral is a different side of the same military. His men treated people with respect, while even in the white base, they were torturing captives. Oddly it feels like Amuro was treated better by the zeons than the federal forces.
  8. The feet look nice, now we need to see the rest
  9. The zeon did over retaliate, but due to the speed of events it was extreme violence met by more extreme violence in a back and forth of chemical, nuclear and eventually the colony drops that brought up the treaty that would stop that temporarily, but to the basic Zeon soldier believing things were done to them to create the situation is where their story is. To be honest after watching Unicorn, I’m almost thinking everyone was just played against eachother and things could’ve started either way, but I hate the unicorn era of Gundam for trying to set that oddity up. All that aside, it’s really just back to whether a group of Zeon soldiers will make for good main characters and I think they’ve already proven that in shows and games. They seem like your basic grunts in the middle of combat facing the horror of a machine that can probably take more damage than they can individually dish out. It looked like mostly upgraded Zaku 2’s. As long as they have a better than Disney writing team, they should be able to pull it off with ease
  10. Definitely looks better than the Yamato. I like the Moscato interpretation a lot and there definitely a bit of height difference, but there’s a certain elegance to the movie version Hasegawa has put out that I like. It definitely shows in the movie that she was a bit hands on and it might have some scrapes on the hand, lower arm and feet from face stompin
  11. It’s ok to disagree, that’s where the fun is. Just remember the feds may have been seen to have started things by their sanctions. The majority of Zeon also believed the feds had assinated their figurehead. And eventually the fanatics from the federation became the Titans.
  12. The feds really weren’t much better, it’s one of the big things throughout most gundam stories. There really weren’t good and bad sides, just heroes of each side stuck fighting wars that their leaders started and war crimes were done to each side.
  13. I just got my Hasegawa at the door. It really is a surprisingly huge box. It’s a pretty good amount of plastic for a fairly cheap price.I wish I had the Moscato tv version, but it’s tough for me to come up with the cash.
  14. I’ve seen more than a few complaints about them and warnings from those that did the when these first appeared. It sounds like a great concept to have decals that don’t have an edge, but from my understanding things can easily go wrong and some have said it’s just easier using standard decals and then doing the usual to make the edges disappear
  15. If the buzz is true, he may be in for a real treat
  16. I haven’t used them personally, but from complaints I’ve heard is that they’re a bit thinner and could cause some issues while laying them down. I hear that they can actually dissolve if not top coated, not sure what the proper way is when certain paints are applied. I’ve heard that they take a lot more care when laying them down because a film can rip the actual decal.
  17. I think it’s comparing the alphabet key that comes with the regult kits for Zentradi and the key for Meltrandi that is included with the Queadluun Rau movie edition.
  18. Personally, I was sold the moment I saw the pictures. My experience with test building the Regult gave me the confidence that Hasegawa had learned a lot since their old Valkyrie kits and this kit looked so much more like the anime than any garage kit or the Yamato toys. I couldn’t help it and immediately preordered
  19. I think that’s the one thing that is interesting about the uc era is that both sides seemed kinda bad and they’ve made more interesting characters out of the Zeon characters than they did out of the feddies. Char for instance had a much more interesting story than Amuro. Bernie and his team were a bigger focal point in 0080. 0083 was another example of the Zeon being way more interesting, despite Cima selling out everyone. I don’t know if Thunderbolt counts, but I feel more sympathetic towards the Zeon and their pop music than the New York traffic sounds the feds tried to call music. 08th ms team had a more interesting story with the Zeon trying to escape the base with atrocities on both sides taking place. I think the focus on the Zeon will be fine and at the time of the end of the war might not be as ideal, they were mostly playing a waiting game til Axis could join up and that might make for a reasonable enough plot to keep things interesting
  20. that’s ok, I’m not super big on modern western drama
