Figuarts Zero Mirage's left arm can actually rotate, but the range is limited. I would have liked to pose her holding something other than her helmet, but I'm too lazy right now and have no props. My idea is to have her holding a drink or something. (Maybe a knife?? Would be funny...)

Mirage and the VF31S arrived today. The Scopedog (Pailsen Files version) arrived weeks ago but I was too lazy to take a picture then.

Focker premium version, here we come!

Seriously though, when are we gonna see more Garland? A VF-0D reissue would also be welcome news at this point. I'd double dip to own one I know doesn't have a FUBAR leg.

If it's a Focker premium I hope it means the not-premium version goes down in price

Unfortunately it's the drakens and the 31J.what about the others?

I got:

VF1A Battroid and Fighter

VF1S Battroid and Fighter

VF31J Fighter

VF31C Fighter

VF31S Fighter (on the way)

That said maybe TomyTec produced too much? Though some variants already sold out online.

I wasn't planning to watch this but that super bowl spot has lots of scenes straight from the animated movies. I like that they incorporated it though I'm not really enthusiastic about the over-all story, Anyway, a rewatch of the animated movies will be helpful/recommended before seeing this one.

They should make Kickstarters for English versions...or even have English side by side with Japanese text. Though it may make the master files more expensive.

I'm guessing no3Ljm will love a Makina figure like in the pics...mmm yep

Another wish popped into my mind regarding a new Delta series. I wish Mirage's valk would now have an emblem. As it is it feels bare compare to Messer's and Arad's. As to what that emblem would be, I have no idea though.  But I want it to be bad-ass looking like the shinigami.

There's an existing May'n thread with lots of posts. Could you merge or append this with it? So that we'll have one thread for all May'n-related posts.

My dream which will never come true: SHFiguarts SDF Macross figures for EVERY character! AND in different dress versions...

I'd also like those SHF SDF Macross figures...On the other hand my SHF Zero Mirage shipped today.

That figure looks awful.

Do I need to watch Enterprise before watching Discovery?

May'n at a Taiwan TV show - Idols Of Asia, sings - Towards the Light (Izetta, the last Witch) and plays some music games!

Nice find. It's amazing she's also learning Chinese. Though it makes sense, it seems every year she's in Singapore for AFA. But I'm not sure how many times she's been to Taiwan.

There's going to be a planetarium, an amusement center, toy shop...

Can we have them finished by February please? lol

On the scoopuda thread I said they should get a better writer if it's Delta 2. As an addendum maybe they should also get a better composer. Of all the Macross series it's only Delta that doesn't have that something that really stands out music wise to me. I know it's kind of vague but I'm not that confident of the story getting better so maybe they should also try improving the music.

If it's Delta 2 they should get a better writer. But I'm not keeping my hopes up that it'll improve.

There's a whole subforum dedicated to where to buy these things, online or at physical stores:

I've already read them it's not that up to date. He will be there next week so it would be nice to know current status and how his hunt for stuff goes.

Any idea on the chances of grabbing one of these off the shelves at retail? Will be in Tokyo next week.

If you get one could you post where you got it? Or any other Macross stuff you might come across. I'll be in Tokyo next month too would appreciate tips on the availability of Macross merchandise.

This is a pass for me. For the price I could get 2 or 3 HMR valks and still have some money left. Maybe they should do something like a Kickstarter to get new products/designs going? Obviously there will be people buying this Hikky but they're stuck with SDFM while Bandai gets to release the valks from the latest Macross series. For one I'd want to see their take on something like from Macross Frontier.

if you missed out previously and prefer to shop there, brownies are showing "in stock" at HLJ http://hlj.com/product/BANN06245/Act

Glaug is also in stock http://hlj.com/product/BANN04090

But I'm not that excited on these two, I don't have extra money from this month's budget. It would be different if regults were the ones in stock...I'd be endlessly debating with myself for days whether to get one or not haha

I'm not a modeler too, and I was able to assemble these with just a nipper, a knife and glue. Maybe some clothes clips to hold glued parts together to dry. Macro-able eyes and small fingers needed too, the parts could be very small, haha!

Tweezers might also help with the small parts.
