I dunno about these guys. Having more valks across a common scale is always a good thing, and like Graham says, it's a good opportunity for Yamato to include 1 or 2 obscure designs like the VA-3 in each series. That said, for 1/200, it's not exactly cheap. I can't help but compare with the 1/144 valks by popy which are larger and seem to come with more stuff but at the same price point (450 yen). But then again, it's basically a single mold being re-used, so there's economies of scale and such.... I doubt we'll ever see valks other than the VF-1 in that series though. Will prob buy a few of these guys for kicks, but prob won't pick up a set.

Aye. Beautiful, just beautiful. Gurren Lagann was made to be a Revy! Enkidududududu.. whatever would be good too! Yoko as well! With all the new Revys from Macross and SF2 and other assorted shows... gonna be pretty broke!

1/60 perfect transform vf-25, great news! To be fair though, 1/60 isn't a foreign scale to Bandai, their Gundam PG kits are already in 1/60. Any case, I'm just glad that a common scale looks to be the standard for Macross stuff from Yamato and Bandai.

Wow, from that pic, I wonder if the regult will actually be in-scale with the vf-1j. Perhaps that's why the vfs are smaller than standard revys, so that an in-scale regult could be feasible?

Aye, and what we need next are Rifleman(s), Marauders and Wasps... waitamin, don't we already have wasps?

Wow, very nice, thanks for the pic! 1/60 Tomahawk to be released in September, price unknown. 1/48 weathered Fokker VF-1S, date and price unknown 1/200 Valks, 3 types、３ modes each as shown with one secret, each 450 yen w/o tax. Sculpts look good!

So, to sum up, confirmed news from the revy site and collection dx is that we're getting: Max/Miriya 1J YF-19 YF-21 Regult Can't wait! Could I hope for a Glaug?

Got a full set of these excluding the secret from a local retailer. Paintwork is much better than the first series, Super Ostrich is really something! I'm quite happy the Max doesn't have the reaction missiles though. Doesn't looks quite right without fast packs. I wonder if there'll be a series 3? Hopefully Max and Miria supers, a super elint... though I can't think of what else could be included in the series. Low Vis colors would rock though! Enigma or stealth/black colors?

This = ノーマル? Just means normal, same for both. Probably to distinguish between the vanilla valks and the super ver. =)

Yamato to reissue the standalone YF-19 in Feb: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/009006/ Don't really know where else to place this, but Hikaru's 1/48 also to be re-released: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/009118/

Saw an interesting blurb from IGN Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation. http://pc.ign.com/articles/845/845823p1.html Revoltech street fighters? Great idea! First time I've heard of it though...

I hope so! I think one of the reasons mentioned for the cannon fodderish behaviour of the NUNS pilots was that they weren't expecting the enemy, while the SMS pilots seemed to have been trained and expecting the bugs. I'd love to see the ghosts in action too. They look really great but were defeated by jamming, of all things... aren't they supposed to be autonomous? I hope they get some software upgrade to improve their combat effectiveness. I also liked how the ghosts were sent first as a screening force rather than sending the NUNS immediately. "sending the NUNS immediately"... that sounds so... weird... lol

Ah, this is where Alto's kabuki traditions come into play... in the next ep he'll kabuki the big red mecha to death using the VF-25 through a mixture of kabuki song and dance... song force reborn! /jk

From Macross 7. Not as the VF-171 but as the VF-17 Check out Mr March's great site for more info: http://www.un-spacy-qmtdb.com/Macross%207/...d-nightmare.htm

Just watched this a second time, just amazing. There was so much to like about it! From the slow reveal of the macross fleet, to the amazing launch sequence of the VF-171s, to the space battle, the hide and seek in the asteroid field and within the colony ship. I love the way the VF-171 looks, cannon fodder though it may be. And the fully loaded VF-25 looks drastically different from the bare fighter, it's looks like its got an almost delta-ish wing shape. Needless to say, I'm hooked! Bring it!

Great news! *shelves plans to get a 1/48 Roy* Btw, the price according to Graham's first scanned image: 気になるお値段は１万前後を目指しているとのこと Not sure if my translation is right, but I think the sentence says the 1/60 is aiming for an approx 10,000 yen release. Looking good for the wallet!

YES!!! And I was just hoping for one on the previous page. The new human figures look good, but what's taking my Revy Motoko Kusanagi so long?

Thought this would be of interest: http://mainichi.jp/enta/mantan/news/200711...200007000c.html Idolmaster Xenoglossia paint scheme for the flanker Wouldn't it be great if you could design your own color schemes for your planes? We'd see macross kites, M&M colors, the works!

Hmmm, pricey but I think I like the CMS one better. Could someone help to elaborate why the Megahouse one is said to be more realistic/proportionate? The CMS one looks fine to me, and I can accept that the helmet is bigger. It's a helmet anyway! Look at how large the DRYL ones are! And additional details like the thruster fins are appreciated too. More than that, I like how the CMS one looks in both modes. The megahouse bike mode looks too small for the the rider. Ray and Stick have a really long neck, so I can't imagine displaying the Megahouse in any mode other than the combined form (which I agree looks spiffy too!) Just my thoughts though.

Not sure if it has been posted, but from Mainichi: http://mainichi.jp/enta/mantan/news/200711...200040000c.html Rough translation: DYRL remastered DVD to be released 21 Dec, 10290 yen. Headed by Kawamori-san, the film will be completely digitally remastered. The release will also include a 576 page book containing storyboards and background notes, as well as a disc containing previews, commercials, and images from the famicom and sega saturn games.

#0042 Ingram 1 #0042 Ltd Ingram 2 #0043 Ingrams look fully loaded!

Just to add to my wishlist.... A Revoltech Gurren-Lagann would be much appreciated, Kaiyodo! *still keeping fingers crossed for a Fraulein Major Kusanagi*

Eh, I just ordered a Revoltech Revy... think she would look great on a Cyclone! I wonder if she'll fit into Megahouse's offering though.

To be fair, their non-Gundam kits aren't too bad. MG Patlabor and especially the recent MG-styled Scopedogs. PG-sized jets... the Skygrasper comes to mind, pretty decent offering from Bandai too. No doubt that their Eva figures are sub-par compard to the Revoltechs though.

Interesting tidbit about the New Cap websides from Ron Moore about the ongoing strike: http://tv.ign.com/articles/833/833633p1.html Didn't know the webisodes were actually shown against his will...
