I'm suprised Toynami hasn't considered releasing the Minmay doll at all . One would have thought they would like to make reproductions of the characters from macross

If words can be pictures, Here are 2 links that will help you make up your mind

Escaflowne

Prime

Personally I went for the Prime without any regrets

want more errr heres the trailer

.....he looks more like a twisted Woody Woodpecker instead,

chris

well to me he looks more like the unholy fusion between Woody woodpecker and a TIE Fighter!

If you didn't like Bugs then by all means don't look at this...........

The thing I find strange is that companies spend a lot of money on ideas lke this, and never once does it occur to them that they just defy common sense. Bugs and the gang are iconic for a reason. From a design point of view there is nothing to be done to make them better........ Why re-invent the wheel?

Oh well, let WB fail.........As long as they keep putting out the Golden collection I'll be happy....

Looks like someones been raiding the batman beyond wardrobe again

I knew Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo was gonna get a western distributor Too bad 4 kids didn't pick it up . They needed a replacement for kinnikuman 2nd generations

Just stumbled upon an old article that describes Japan's own proposal for a F-16J replacement

Too bad it didn't fly . It was cancelled due to budget restraints and the failings of the F-2 fighter

I really hate the way they lumped Zoids and transformers in together . They were completely different toylines !

personally I think Armor replicas are getting a bit overrated just check out the lovely "Tornado GR.3" they did recently

I collect mainly dragonwings, Corgi AA and i have a 1/48 Eurofighter from long prosper models before they went bust

well if you guys wanna see some variable bikes with a twist check out bandai's latest offering

for a minute i thought it was a clever photoshop but then i noticed the side profile's a giant airfoil with mower bits tuck onto it for stability . What i don't get is what his he using for yawing and directional turning

predaking beats devastator heds down

thundarr, Blackstarr, Zandor...

wish hasbro were as uppitty on copyright when it comes to transformers too so we don't have to resort to names such as "buckethead" as opposed to scrapper for the new constructicons

Wouldn't the matchbox minmay count as a singing minmay doll?

wonder if the japanese release will be a better quality than the this initial release?

Tokyo Mew Mew suffers the most even when the manga is already translated with their REAL NAMES

With all these unlikely anime titles 4-kids are grabbing wonder whats next on their shopping list? , Doraemon, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. (They'll need a ultimate muscle replacement), Onegai Teacher, Bomberman jetters (could replace kirby) or even dare I say it,,, Naruto?!

if i ever see one i'll buy one but i'm a lil unsure on spending that much on something thats no bigger than armada hotshot

As i said on a fellow zoiders board that is a pretty sweet repaint I liked how you retooled the Kong to take its rightful pack too .

Well since posting Zoid customs here seems to be ok Don't mind if i highlight my custom too the Ptera-Sinker ?

The lower bottom right shows the initial prototyping stage and the remaning 3 show the completed model

howabout getting it some Zoid CP-Cannons and calling it Command Wolf : Irvine. Its the right color aswell

from the Macross "lovely Gals collection" anyone still got that article from that japanese mag?

Summer 2005?! I can't wait that long

Added: Take a look at this thread over on F-16.net. It mentions the accident which you're probably referring to (occurred during F-14 testing), but more important it has some very cool screen caps of Tomcats dueling Zeroes from The Final Countdown. I can't believe I still haven't seen that movie. Looks like it was recently released on DVD.

Ah the fianl countdown the film wich nearly lost a tomcat in RL Check the dogfight scene with the f-14s and texans and look out for the f-14 rooster-tailing near the drink As i remembered the pilots nearly got a court marshall for doing that move

10-The A-4 mentioned in topgun though was meant to simulate enemy migs is nowhere near as fast as the tomcat(although jester in the movie said it simuilated migs and was indeed faster).

Yeah, even as a fourteen year watching the movie when it first came out, I was stumped at that, too. But I figure he [Jester] meant the A-4 was fast at maneuverability. What do you think?

I know if the Tomcat and the Scooter were in an air race, there's no doubt who would win.

Scooters may not outrun anyhing but they are very very Maneuverable . there are well documented cases of A-4s outurning even f-16s

ironically the A-4 was actually meant to be a fighter until its role was shifted to light attack once the supersonic jets were available at design stage

further irony about this is A-4s nowadays are being given the fighter role in overseas countries everywhere

but back onto the subject Does anyone hre remember the Grumman XF-10 Jaguar the true ancestor of the f-14?
