    After what happened with the series, I kinda doubt a director’s cut would happen, but I wouldn’t mind being wrong

    Is that one of the nichimo kits?
  3. Big s
    Cool, can’t wait to see how it goes
  4. Big s
    That one’s a definite classic. Great song especially for the gamblers
  5. Big s
    Let us know how it goes. Nobody seems to really do reviews on these

    I’m with you. But I actually think the animation looks alright. Sure the gundam sucks, but there might be a fun or cool story here and the zaku looks alright so far from the preview, so maybe the other mobile suits are cool. I’m very curious about this one, just hoping it’s not a let down but I’ll give it a try. The hg kit for this looks like they packed all the crazy details and maybe this design isn’t for me, but if they treat the other kits from this that well and the designs look good I might have a lot of fun with them. I keep looking at those lower legs around the calves and am really surprised how well they pulled that off, so I gotta at least give Bandai some credit there

    Do the knee joints in gasaraki count. They bend, but while running they stretch to allow a bigger stride. It was definitely an interesting thing to see and kinda reminded me slightly of how the ED209 has a leg stretch, just not as drastic. as far as Gundam, the only thing mechanically stopping the windmill action is that whenever they show the joints in high detail without armor, there’s often pistons that allow for a good amount of rotation, but would snap if rotated too far, but that’s only been shown a few times. If it was just on simple rotating joints, then there should be no stopping a wrist from holding a beam saber around for a windmill of death easily. Dunbine had the muscles that would tear and Patlabor might rip its shirt, and nobody wants the embarrassment of ripping a shirt or worse, getting a hole in its pants

    I think they may have had a slight trim, but not totally clipped. A lot of other countries were given access to Macross shows, just not the U.S., toys that don’t have the Robotech brand for Mospeada or the old Macross are pretty scarce over here, most hobby shops this side of the ocean won’t carry the plamax vf-1 kits or the Hasegawa stuff from the old Macross either. I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of roadblock going on. The old vf-2 kit was great for its time, but has some weird proportions. It definitely needs an update and I’d absolutely love a new one, but you’re correct about the box and packaging, that was amazing. As far as Bandai and the VF-1 , like you said they are already difficult with their models of all brands. And they recently did the vermillion platoon in hmr, but limited those to web exclusives and then further limited them by not offering them on the U.S. store even though everything else comes over from other properties. I don’t think the Dunbine OVA or Vifam or Dragonar were ever released legitimately here in the U.S., but the American pbandai store has toys and models from those franchises, but skipped offering old school Macross items that probably would have sold well, if not better than something as obscure as a metal build serbine or something.

    And out of those 20, somehow the U.S. isn’t on the list

    They’re definitely a nuisance company. They somehow found a way to block everyone including themselves from profiting from Macross and customer enjoyment as well.
  11. Big s
    Same company

    I rewatched the trailer and the Zaku looking suit has what appears to be regular shoes for feet. Although simple, they look far better than the g-uuuuuugly feet. I’d like to see more of the Zaku since it so far looks kinda cool to me. Hopefully there are other suits that look cool as well. I may hate that gundam, but maybe I’d buy a kit of that Zaku. I also kinda feel that the gundam looks more like a racer than a fighter Was watching a thing on YouTube and they think the Zaku might be a police unit. Might explain the tactical shoes and riot looking shield, but it’s all speculation at this point

    Yeah, it reminds of those new ugly evangelion designs, but with the joints from border break it also oddly reminded me of the way kaiyodo did some of the joints on their mini trading figures from years ago . Although I might forgive this gundam’s offset joints, I still can’t forgive its feet.
  14. Big s
    Yup, single cat lady boozin it up

    I’ll give it a try as well. I may hate the gundam, but I don’t mind the characters yet. The other mobile suit getting trashed in the trailer looks better, but I really only got a quick glimpse. Maybe some of the other designs are better looking and maybe the show could turn out good. as far as the split on good and bad halves, I hope this doesn’t turn out to be an almost 59 episode show. 25 ish works better for me and some of my favorite gundam stuff was around the 12 ish or less with the 90’s ova’s.

    Profound ignorance is something to be proud of. It’s a great achievement

    That was more than 20 years ago. I think they would eventually try to do it in hg though. I think their vf19 kit was newer of course in a different scale and they did a very recent hg kit of that, but they have a thing for putting out a new version of things. Hasegawa on the other hand is usually more about putting something out with a slight change. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t doubt that Bandai will also reprint the old kit as soon as another anniversary happens. I would love to see a vf-11 and I’m pretty sure the 25 and 31 are already in the works. But I think their bigger issue with the vf-1 isn’t as much wave, but harmony gold. Bandai wouldn’t be able to make it for other countries without some kind of deal and they’re very stubborn. I remember the problems they had with the Star Wars models. And then there’s the problem for the consumer if they just did Japanese releases. It may not even be available at hlj. The recent Mospeada toys weren’t even available there.

    That David Mcallum one was always great for an inner city shakedown movie scene.
  19. Big s
    Definitely. Hope some more characters come out from the series

    I threw out the name Gundam Uuuuuugly ont the Gundam show thread, but G-FuuuuuugLy works pretty good
  21. Big s
    The colors make the shapes very confusing. I probably should have mentioned it was doing a high kick. It’s an uuuuuugly design with uuuuuugly colors making it a real uuuuuugly duuuuuuckling
  22. Big s
    The arms on the back are actually its thrusters and the feet are way worse than you think. More like a broken horseshoe attached at only one sidethis is the hg kit and it kinda thickens up the feet, probably for stability and still look horrible. The actual feet in the design are much thinner and look like they’d snap apart
  23. Big s
    I’m pretty sure that if Bandai does them, they’d be the 1/100 hg kits. As far as destroids, there’s a weird possibility of wave, but I think they’re kinda more of a dream at this point but I’d love to see those or even the odd zentraedi stuff from Macross 2
  24. Big s
    I didn’t hate the aerial, but a lot of the designs were very ugly and awkwardly stumpy looking in that show. But I get what you’re saying. The overall designs in these share losing their elegance for trying too hard to be different and failing hard. I don’t know who keeps trying to make feet uglier and uglier on these things and this new one has the worst of them.
  25. Big s
    I didn’t think they’d do zentraedi mecha at all, so I wouldn’t rule it out. Although I kinda think Playmax or Bandai would do them first.
