It is still one of my favorites. I loved the show and film. I hope one day we've some more products out of this.
-
I think it was popular in the 90's but newer viewers probably have not seen it. Most younger anime fans don't apear to be familiar with non gundam mecha anime. My daughter loves a lot of older stuff that I show her, but her friends have no clue when it comes to these shows. They mostly like high school comedies, or sports anime with a few liking things like One Punch Man or stuff like Tokyo Ghoul. Any way I hope funimation can do a decent voice over. I haven't heard them do a good dub of a serious anime in a while.

I'm wondering on what's new in the directors cut. I'm a bit used to the old voices due to watching it on fox and then picking up the dvd of the series and movie. Hopefully the new voices are alright. Anyway last year Hlj had a sale on the giymelef alseides resin kit from kotobukiya, so I picked it up for $30. I haven't put it together yet. It has parts that are smaller than I thought, but comes with abs joints although you have to drill holes to attach joints

The commercials are gonna kill this service. They seriously better rethink that.

Doctor Who is a bit different. Very few people saw the old one here in the U.S. back in the old days and the newer one became much bigger due to the old fans and newer fans including a large preteen female following. I guess chicks dig doctors and being British makes him hotter or something. Anyway Star Trek has a mostly old fan base with a few newer ones from the shows in the 90's and a bit from the new films. Maybe Star Trek needs more British people and doctors and British doctors. Then again maybe the problem is that doctors in star trek don't make money at that point in the future.

I'm not gonna buy the fighter if the other modes aren't happening.
-
If the monster is a favorite then this is the only toy of it since 82, 84. It was a massive must buy for me. The transforming monster was kind of a tease that someone could do a monster, but not until hmr did my dreams come true of the real deal. I believe there were only 2 plastic kits made and they don't look or feel as good as this. I wanna see what's next for hmr and hopefully we get some more news soon so I know how much to save for the event.
-
So now I'm questioning if they are going to do a battroid for the 31a. With all the other releases they put out a fighter, battroid and gerwalk pack at the same time but I can't seem to find info on the other kits for the 31a.
-
I need to see a better picture, but it almost looks like more hip clearance and I'm not sure on the little helmet vent details.
-
Since it has the garbage bag joint covers I'm pretty sure the inner frame will be on the skinny under detailed side, like the thunderbolt gundam inner frame.

I'm more interested in the character designs and droids -
I think the eye is a clear piece with a sticker for color and a flat curved piece over that. A drop of clear color pink or red would make it look better.
-
The gerwalk pack is just 2 kits one battroid and one fighter with extra decals on the vf1 models. If these are packaged the same as those then you just need a fighter and battroid. The gerwalk pack just saves time by putting both kits together and include extra decals.
-
They do require glue. The fighter has some extremely small fins toward the front that don't even have a peg and are very hard to see the angle for attachment. Most of the kit on both can be super glued, but some parts like the small fins or clear parts are better with styrene glue. The gerwalk can be disassembled, but I feel like it would be risky with some pegs being not much wider than a paper clip. I actually broke one of the ball joint pegs off the hip section during assembly, luckily ther are two sets with the battroid one for the stand and one without. The best way to have all 3 modes would be two of each kit and have a battroid, gerwalk and fighter, but the cost would be almost $120. I did however find that due to the size the battroid is easy to modify for better poseability with nothing more than a needle file. Another thing was the missile attachment on the wings need to be glued in and I left mine off because I would never be satisfied with the alignment, I would just probably look at them weird every day wondering if I got it correct.

I was looking at the death trooper kit and it looks fairly customizable with weapon and equipment options. Lots of interesting bandai products coming soon. -
Sorry I wasn't sure when it was coming out.
-
So has anyone seen the show yet. No one I personally know has seen it and most of the people at work didn't know about the cbs streaming service.
-
I'm a toss up between the tomahawk and spartan, although I can't think of a great model or toy of the spartan to come up in the last few decades. I am still hopin for more zentraidi items as well.
-
I was just about to mod that large blaster from the storm trooper kit when I noticed the death trooper kit has a pistol, rifle and a sniper with a scope. So I will probably just pick up a couple of the death trooper kits and pass down an extra sniper to one of my scouts.

The sh Han looks good so far and the 1/12 death trooper kit seems promising. Still hoping for a kit of that droid. -
The price is a bit steep for me. I really like votoms, but almost $500 and no extra weapon set.
-
So far the sh figuarts macross figures seemed to be just a tease.
-
I guess it's time to find out how many paid to stream it.
-
I guess I was confused by the wording. All that evil dead stuff confuses me as well. Any way original film with familiar director and producer that have a decent record for horror/suspense films and good reviews as well. I may have to see it.

I'm not really worried yet. Other lines of toys have have products that have been sitting around on shelves and they still produce them like robot spirits, or sh figuarts from bandai or even figma from max factory. The dunbine robot spirits often can be bought months after release and come close to the price of the hmr vf1a. I still see some of the sh figuarts dbz figures and more costly avengers stuff. And some figmas surprise me as far as how long a character I thought would sell out are still available like ghost in the shell or metroid figmas. I do see the hmr Valkyries selling out well for preorder. As far as I know the 1a, 1j Hikaru and the 1j Max are sold out and that's the next 3 releases. The other destroids are much smaller than the regult, glaug and of course the monster, so the cost won't be so high and people would be able to afford them. It's really only been about a month since the monster came out so I can't say it's selling bad and I haven't checked the availability of the glaug or regult but if I'm not mistaken I think the regult isn't so easy to find at this point and I haven't heard of any of those going on clearance sales yet, so again I am not worried at all at this point.
