there's a Planet Eden crate?

yup, the UNCF crate is fantastic.

gave me the idea to get the other "ship" crates: Kirishima and Izumo, I-401 from Arpeggio, Bentenmaru from Bodacious Space Pirates, Shimakaze from Kancolle (wish it had at least some english text though).

hoping they come up with one for the SDF-1, ARMD, Prometheus, Daedalus. there supposedly one for the Bebop, but i have yet to see pictures, so might be a myth.

then there's the "organization" line (eg. NERV, Umbrella) which is where SMS will fit in.

and a bunch of "squad" crates (Gakuen 35, Gate Regiment 3, Keron Army, Anti-Skill, etc) where Skull squadron will sit.

passed by my local store on the way home.

the supervisor was kind enough to open the Asmodeus sundae box.

the popsicle is separate, and the figure looks fine without it.

it's bigger than i expected. the sundae is life size and looks yummy!

couldn't resist bringing home a dessert treat.

jenius, internal dimensions are 493 × 335 × 303mm. i recall it couldn't fit my Yamato boxes (too tall) but should be able to fit 2-3 Bandai boxes

thanks jefuemon. appreciate it.

jasonc, i think i have your mailing address from our last paypal transaction. hmmm...

that last one was a commercial release by Takara.

this is the image inspiration :

they sure nailed it!

edit: just for kicks, here she is without glasses

not being able to relate to combiners other than Devastator/Menasor/Superion/Bruticus is making me feel old.

does anyone have this, and if so, is the popsicle removable?

and non-MC figures are usually skipped unless they have boobs or can show pantsu

there were a lot of figures produced for GitS, though they tended to be smallish and crappy (but a handful were 1/6 - 1/8).

the manga spawned gashapons too, as did SAC along with trading, prize, and action figures.

non-MC figures are not common, even for wildly successful shows. but there were figures for Batou, Togusa and the blond chick with the missing lower half. i have a figure of CEO Jameson (the box robot with a brain inside) and the nurse.

i wouldn't say there was a dearth of GitS figures. maybe just not the types we want to collect.

i recently got this (2015 release) on clearance:

the site myfigurecollection lists at least 30 Motoko figures, excluding gashapons and action figures.

the following figures are all from the past decade, not including those from ARISE:

there are also more than a dozen Motoko posable figures, including one by Yamato.

still, i'm looking for the definitive Motoko figure. it could've been the one shown above with a Tachikoma base, but the face sculpt is subpar. shame, as it was 1/6.

and all manner of shame for this one

I don't have anything new coming in until april and I've only preordered one thing in the last month. I think I'm going through withdrawl or something.

i know the feeling.

my "therapy" during "slow" months is to trawl amiami's pre-owned section for figures i was interested in but not enough to pay full price at release...

or for stuff posted here that i wasn't even aware of and missed out on.

seriously, this thread is poison

what would be a good search term for these folding/collapsible containers at YAJ?

or if anyone's interested, i'm willing to pay commission to get these (SMS, Skull Squadron), as well as the Survey Corps (Attack on Titan) and Gurren Lagann.

anyone up for it, please PM me. thanks

this will be my first male One Piece figure (i have Robin with the big hand cannon).

not really familar with One Piece but thought this one looked fun so PO'd it at a local store

ooh, shiny!

i don't really like bigger than 1/6 but i previously got Cecilia at clearance, my lone 1/4 figure, so i thought: heck, i like Houki anyway.

while i probaly shouldn't go crazy collecting this line:

i'm thinking i might as well add Rias to round the menage a trois

that's what i thought too, so a secondary confirmation would be nice.

however, the fact that the 31 and 171 mechacolle have different lengths suggests an intention for proper scaling rather than box scaling.

so maybe there is technically no conflict in the licensing because mechacolle are unfinished kits while Gimix are pre-finished.

or this might just be a similar license sharing arrangement like Hasegawa making a 1/72 non-transforming 25 and Bandai's transformable kit version.

yup

drool. i collect these. have about 10 of them from various animes.

are they event exclusives? can't seem to find them on the usual websites.

i want the SMS and Skull Squadron so bad.

count me in for any and all Vajra

was on the fence because i thought these were box scale, but that Dengeki link spells it out: 1/144. wohoo!

this is the first couple of minutes. took me 17 minutes to transcribe.

i hate podcasts and this is only the second one i've listened to.

but i thank those who contribute in any way, shape or form.

We have an official broadcast date, finally. April 3rd will be when Macross Delta begins to air. In the Tokyo area it will be airing on Sundays at 10:30pm, which is quite an early time slot specially compared to Macross Frontier which aired at 1:25 in the morning.

[unintelligible] it was later than that. I thought it was some time after 2.

I remember it changed from week to week depending if some special ran long so they have to push back all the late night stuff.

[unintelligible] it will be different on where we live

Either way, it was also broadcast during week days.

Fair enough, of course it's not going to be 10:30 in the evening all over Japan. That's just for us lucky residents of Tokyo.

Depending on whereabouts you are, it could also be at 1:05 in the morning, 2 in the morning, 1:30 in the morning, so we're quite lucky in this area. We're gonna get a decent time slot, and right at the end of the week/beginning of the new week, So we'll start of Monday with the new episode fresh in our heads, every week.

Which is good because that is when folks are home for work and stuff.

Right. Right. Like people don't work in Tokyo on Sundays, despite what anyone may have you think.

Oh really? because i read somewhere.. Oh, they must've been mistaken.

Yeah, try, try reading quality stuff.

suspicious video.

no cables connected to the TV? not even the power cable?

also, the only cat i've seen that doesn't react at all to a loud noise

man that stinks... it wasn't a cat was it?

that is so cool! congrats!

my electronics skills at the moment are limited to connecting speakers to the AV receiver and putting batteries into the remote

but one day i will put my EE classes to good use

thanks for clarifying.

i guess that makes the Kaiyodo Gashapon Regult definitely smaller than 1/144, but not small enough to be 1/350 (btw, wasn't MechTech making those?)

dang, i blew quite a bit of cash hunting down those gashapons when i should've been getting the Revo's

Toynami, HMR and Revolt. I have to say out of the three, the HMR is the best.

if the HMR in the middle is supposed to be 1/100, then that makes the two Revo's on the right more like ~1/144.

i know the Revo's were released as non-scale but i also recall some reviews state they were 1/100-ish

was there ever a Scout variant of the Revo?

imagine if the sound unit wasn't just for the afterburners, but also for the buzzsaw gunpod effect.

any Delta events planned in mid-May? planning to hit Osaka and Tokyo
