seconded.

I can't help but lol at the painted out boobs on the third shelf. And I also shake my fist at you in rage and petty jealousy at the fact that you have the massive porn figure that I want but can't have because I don't have $150 to spend on topless plastic women (even ones drawn by Inoue Takuya)

It's amazing but it's too expensive, I had to cancel it. I cried manly tears inside.

I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

I vote for the VF-5, as it's the first and only VF designed for water landings. (VA-3M came much later, and it's a VA not a VF.)

The general premise is that everything that happens in BSG is the fault of a bitchy teen-aged girl.

(...continued) The transformation to Wave rider mode employs some really interesting mechanism's to maintain Perfect transformation and, while tricky to pull off at first, the result is an excellent looking Wave Rider form. Probably the coolest parts are the mechanism's used to move the arms and legs into position. The arm uses 4~5 peg joints to allow the arm to maintain full range of motion while still being able to pivot down and in like the Zeta gundam for Wave Rider mode. The legs are even more impressive, with a sliding extension concealed in the hip socket, and a plate that keeps the legs securely connected to the crotch piece while allowing the whole assembly to pivot out and rotate on a ball joint to get it into position. The mechanism on the legs can be a little troublesome at first however. The parts work by having plates that snap into the sides of the crotch in MS mode and pivot on ball joints to get the legs into wave rider mode. Un-snapping the panels for the first few times takes a lot of force, more than enough to pop the ball joints out and completely remove the legs. A bit annoying, but it's easy to re-attach the legs and after a few transformations the process gets much easier. Overall the transformation is effective, although I wish there where a few more tabs that locked in place. The whole thing holds itself together well enough but I would have liked it if the legs actually tabbed in to something at the ankle like on the HGUC kit.

The instructions indicate that you are supposed to remove the hands when you put it into wave rider mode, but I've found that you can fold them up against the arms where they look fine and don't get in the way of anything. IMG_0899 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr The backpack, while cool looking, is kind of a weak point on the kit overall. first off, while it's possible to transform the kit with the backpack attached, it tends to get in the way and it's much easier to just remove it, complete the rest of the transformation than put it back on. Also, I've noticed that the gray part that makes up the center of the backpack has a tendency to separate when you transform the boosters; after I paint the kit I'm probably going to glue that part together. Over all, the boosters are effective and look good but there are a few extra features I wished they had. First and foremost, there should have been some sort of tab that locks them to the legs in Wave rider mode. there IS a tab that connects them to the body so they don't move, but I wish they connected to the legs which would have made them more secure and solved my lack of leg tab complaint. also, I would have liked to have seen the boosters on ball joints like the GFFN toy has so that there would be some extra pose-ability in MS mode. It's not a big deal however and was probably left out because of the transformation. IMG_0900 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr As a whole, I really love this kit. It does have a few minor flaws but nothing that takes away from how impressive and enjoyable this kit is. The build process is intuitive and well thought out, and the final product is a beautiful looking robot with lots of articulation and a really interesting transformation to a solid Alt mode. If you're a fan of the ReZEL, GET THIS KIT. If you like the look of Gundam UC MS's or Katoki mecha in general, GET THIS KIT. If you like kits with impressive engineering and/or cool transformations, GET THIS KIT. If you just want an Unusual/interesting MS for your collection, GET THIS KIT. Really the only possible reasons I can think of not to get this kit is if you A) absolutely HATE the design of the ReZEL, or B) are waiting until January for the Commander type to come out. And if you ARE waiting for the Commander type, Get Both. That way you can have one in each mode. IMG_0902 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr

alright, finally got around to taking a few pics. first let me say that this thing ROCKS. I really enjoyed building this thing and I love the way it looks. I should note that the color in the pictures aren't completely accurate. the main armor color tends to photograph bright blue, but is much more of a teal color in person. IMG_0871 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr; IMG_0872 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr; IMG_0873 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr The kit has some really excellent detail on it. the lenses on the face, torso and shoulders all have very nice mechanical detail behind them. the included paper sticker sheet is meant to go either on or behind each of the lenses but they're really not necessary. IMG_0876 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr; IMG_0882 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr The cockpit opens, and the pilot is actually quite visible so you may want to paint him. IMG_0888 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr the beam rifle is nice, although it's kind of odd that the lens on it faces towards the mecha (I guess so the pilot can admire his sweet looking robot while he's shooting stuff). The shield is nicely detailed and I like the overall shape, but from the top it's kind of just a slab of teal (I'm thinking about painting it with a jagged section of dark blue like on Hi-Nu gundam's shield). On problem I do have with the shield though is that the tab isn't perfectly secure. It holds the shield on fine but it's easy to knock off while posing. IMG_0879 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr; IMG_0887 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr there are a couple other parts that do fall off. The white pieces on the arms (picture) can be knocked off if you grab them while posing the arms and the side skirts can be pulled off easily while transforming it. in both cases it's a little annoying but the parts pop right back on (also the white parts can be glued down without any negative effect. IMG_0889 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr (continued...)

you're a horrible person and you should feel horrible.

quicky update on MG ReZEL: really loving the build so far. Ended up working all night non-stop and got the entire body done, Now I just need to finish the backpack and weapons (lucky for all my classes are canceled today ). just handling it so far it's quite impressive. It's very nicely articulated although it can be a little bit fiddly, and a few pieces like to pop off here and there but overall very nice. I'm actually surprised just how big this guy is. It's actually almost as tall and just as beefy as my GFFMC Unicorn gundam in destroy mode, and that's without the ReZEL's backpack or weapons.

MG ReZEL arrived today! Had a chance to take it out of box and go over the parts, I'll get to building tonight and will have more pictures+review tomorrow night (I hope ). box is a standard large box, thin box (same size as the force impulse gundam). lots of plates. mold quality, color separation, part count etc. are all what you'd expect form a 2010 master grade. I especially like how many clear lens parts it has, and that they're all molded in a very bright pink color. I was a little worried at first that it came with such a large sheet of polycaps, but the instructions have all but a dozen crossed out so I don't think it will be too polycap heavy. 4 ABS plates (mostly the legs and torso.) I don't think it's A complete, freestanding ABS inner frame but it's pretty good. the sticker/decal sheet. the metallic stickers for the lenses appear completely unnecessary as the lenses are tinted plastic. I was kind of disappointed that it has such a small sheet of rub transfers and only a generic sticker sheet. I personally like the Katoki bumper-sticker look, and I was disappointed that bandai didn't give you the stickers necessary to do a marking scheme like the GFFN release. also it doesn't look like bandai will be doing a water-slide decal release for this any time soon, so I went ahead and ordered a set from Samuel decals. I really like the manual for this one. It's standard master grade on the inside, but rather than the ugly textures on the front and single product shot on the back, you get a clean version of the box art on front and front/back shots of the MS and wave rider modes on the back. first impressions are good and I can't wait to get building. I don't have a Zeta 2.0 to compare this one to so I can't say how similar it is but I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. (I can't wait to check out the transformation.

I have no problem with dubs in general; but the ADV dub of SDF:M was pure, unadulterated pain.

I think you should just make this your avatar right so we don't have to keep posting it.

My MG Rezel shipped from amiami yesterday, and now it's in SF customs. hopefully it will be here Monday or Tuesday. I've also got an MG Deathscythe EW coming from hobbyWave so I've got plenty of stuff to build, unfortunately fall finally decided to catch up with the bay area and now we've got nothing but cold and rain

Depends. How much are they asking for it? Do you REALLY want a 1/6 scale Minmay statue? The quality on these aren't all that good; sculpt is VERY dated looking, they're not very detailed, paint apps are simplistic and not all that great, some of the assembly is poor (parts not properly glued together etc.) The main thing is they're big and the package+little character card have some nice art on them. I got mine for like $20 and I like it, but I wouldn't pay much more than I did for it. (BTW The little card mine came with was of Minmay in a swim suit. )

Ok, now that's funny!

yeah... no they don't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oItKg8l7htE

I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm sure it's unbelievably stupid.

I think the key piece of evidence we need to take into consideration here is that this is an anime. When do situations like this NOT result in rape in anime? So clearly Guld raped her. As for OP's question, I think Roy Focker was on to something a page back. What really happened is that Guld was secretly in love with Isamu, and when he walked in on the two of them together he flew into a rage. Not at Isamu for stealing his girl though, but rather Myung for stealing his man, and Isamu for choosing a woman over him. So he smacked Isamu and attacked Myung. It's at this point something in his mind completely snapped, and he came to the conclusion that it was his fault for being gay, and decided to from then on deny his homosexuality. From there he raped Myung and reworked the memory in his mind such that he was always after Myung and Isamu was trying to steal her away, rather than the other way around. From then on, he lived with the delusion that he was always the heterosexual male that had his girl stolen by his best friend. It was only at the moment where he thought he had killed his friend and love interest that Guld realized he had been living a lie all this time. In that moment he embraced his Homosexuality and came to the realization that Isamu is his own man, and guld can't make Isamu change who he is no matter how much Guld wishes he could. Having accepted both himself and why Isamu and him cannot be together, Guld is finally able to be at peace. oh god, it's almost 4 in the morning and I'm trying to type... why?!?

Clearly Mylene ended up with Isamu. Clearly Isamu showed up, punched Alto in the face and proceed to get with both of them (and every other woman on the show). You see, after blowing up the SDF-1, saving the day and sleeping with Myung, he looked her in the eyes and said "sorry babe, but I'm to much of a MAN to be tied down..." and proceeded to fly off into space in an unending quest for find more wimmins.

rape, definitely rape.
