jwinges

I was wondering if these are any good to see. I like stuff like 8th ms, char's counterattack, The original gundam, 0083, and 0080. I dispise G-gundam and Gundam wing. Please help. Would I like F91 MS Gundam 0083 OVA, (is this the same as 0083?) MS gundam 0083 Stardust memory the movie (again is this the same as 0083?) Gundam Evolve Help I don't want to buy anything that sucks.

I thought is was tough to decide too. I went with the mikimoto. I'm gonna use the Mech art and more for the individual covers I'm going to eventually make so I can get rid of those god awful black ones.

Just curious on the numbers for this box. Please take the poll.

Sorry for bringing up the MPC. I had no idea it would spark this debate. I stand by my opinion though and agree with some of yours. For a toy the Joon's valks are sturdier and better. QC is lower but they are based on a better product better. The MPC on the otherhand (I have vol1 and sent back vols 2&3 because I thought they were crap) is also based on the taka 1/55 and 1/100 but lacks dicast content and it quite flimsy in the joints, add in the cheezy light and you've got an MPC. I originally liked the packaging (I've only taken the MPC out once) I had it on a shelf for about a year when I looked at it and the glue was comming apart on the MPC box. I do agree that the MPC has far greater detail, but also that the legs are too skinny. Yeah, I dislike the MPC not so much for the toy itself (it was a valid first attempt at a toy) but more so for the controversy and with-holding of information about the dicast content on vol 1 that toynami pulled. They didn't tell us that they reduced the dicast by more than half until mine was already shipping. Personally, I would spend your money on a bandai re-issue if you want a 1/55. Next I would spend it on a joon's if you can get the models you like for a price you like. I'm still looking for a green one myself. And if you can get the max and millia one's then you've saved a bundle over the hard to find bandai reissue. I have 16 bandai's and I love each and every one. No major complaints. The only one I've had trouble with is the 1A DYRL version (in fighter mode there's a big gap b/w back and front plate on both versions I have. I hate the 1/60 series. Beautiful but poorly designed joints and leg system. I love the 1/48 but it does feel a little flimsy while transforming. Once its in the mode you want the thing is great. Hope this helps and again I'm sorry for sparking this big toy bash.

A few months ago Joons valks were showing up like crazy on ebay. You could get them for about $30-40 including box. I 2 for $30 with box and a loose max type for $15. They probably have the highest quality of all the 1/55 bootlegs. They are even better than those MPC's toynami makes. I know the Green one in the space gundam box fetches a little more than the rest.

Crap! I guess I should have started looking for pics from the start rather than work my way backward. I see garoquel has already started doing this. Sorry guys. Maybe I'll see if I can get copies from him or else I'll do my own. Still think somebody should do it and post powerpoint files here on Macrossworld for everyone to download.

Ok, the reason I asked if we just use our current Animeigo cases with this box is simple...I really hate the original covers of the DVD cases themselves. The black color scheme lacks any imagination what so ever. So here's what I'm thinking. We make 9 new slip covers out of the great art that wasn't picked for the boxes. Better yet how about 2 sets of 9 art. If you order Dia guard Aces box design you still get blaine 23's art as inserts for your current cases. I'm currently working my way backward through this thread and I think will have more than enough arwork. I'll scan the original Animeigo covers to get the info off the back. Each of us could print them ourselves on photo quality paper and they'd look great. What do you all think.

Forgive my ignorance but will these cases include new fold out disk holders or do we just slip our current animeigo sets in as is?

Got my 3 hand sets and stuff today. Man you make great stuff Rohby. Just a quick shave and they are a perfect fit. They look so much better than the original hands. Its a little trickier than I thought getting the gunpod in. but after its in there is a nice tight fit. No need to worry about it dropping its gun. Keep up the awsome work Rohby. Thanks.

I love these designs! ANy idea how much this might set us back?

I'm just hoping that if Eisner steps down disney will release the studio ghibli films they have in theaters. Would be nice to see a good dub of Nausicaa of the valley of the wind. I think they have the right to a lot more of Ghibli's films also. Would also like to see a good dub of Porco Rosso.

My favorite is the last one by blaine 23 version 4 (the last one on page 15 of this thead. #2 is Blaine 23's version 3 #3 is diaguard's v4. I really like the originality of diaguards but I like the mecha in blaine's versions a little more. Great designs one and all.

First, kudos to yamato for making what sounds like a great toy. A little expensive but it looks great and has great features. Now that bad. That has got to be the worst sculpt of millia that I have ever seen! Even those old robocrap figures looked better than that. I could make better than that. If I get one I'll probably take a scalple to make her have some posability. Also gotta fix her ass and chest too. Please let the yen drop soon. That way I can afford this toy.

Scratch that...just looked at the movie posters and they aren't that great. I like Diguard Ace's just above this post but there's gonna be a fold over one of the bridge crew's face.

Could you just use the original Movie posters. I think that would be really cool plus it would hold a little more nostalgia.

Man that's awsome. Smaller is definetly better. I might have to make a few of these from the regular regualt kit to go with my 10 Joke machines. Love it.

Avoid Patlabor Wasted 13. It sucks. Rahxephon Try Full Metal Panic (more comedy than mecha though) MS Gundam 8th MS team MS gundam 0083. Gotta love evangelion Gasaraki Ghost in the shell Char's counterattack Martian Successor Nadesico series and movie Voices of a distant star (rent this at blockbuster)

For anybody wonding about the quality of Rohby's recasts. They are utterly amazing. I have 5 of his recast Joke machines, like 3 of the sharpener recasts, and some other stuff. I've never seen recasts as strong as his. Got 3 of these hands on order. Amazing stuff rohby...keep'em comming.

Funny thing is that macek still promotes for HG. He's still always signing stuff and conventions and if you ever do a favor for HG (I'm still ashamed I did it) they send you this cheezy minmay postcard with maceks signature on it. I'm betting he's still got influence.

What's with the elint in the bootleg box?

Hey Joke. I think its a brillant idea. I may bid but have nothing of real value to donate. I think we've even had some trades or sales to one another in the past. I suggested running it through kevin to interest those who don't know you from the boards. Keep us posted on when the bidding starts.

Oh... Bummer, I though it was fanmade. I wish they would make a SD version of DYRL with it. Then Dub it. Mecha designs would be different so they could release it here in the US.

I was looking through my hard drive and found this little short intro of macross. Only thing...it was super deformed. I'm sure many of you have seen it. Anyway I thought it was really well done and wanted to know who did it... I do have an underlying motive. Maybe we could talk this guy into animating all of DYRL like this. Would it be feasable.

Maybe try setting it up with kevin at valk exchange. It might look more reputable that way. Great idea though.

You might get some replies and props if you did something not done before. Like a great fan dub of DYRL or a fan dub of Macross zero (this would be easy since there would be nothing to compare it to. Or maybe macross 7 if your looking for a long project. Another good one would be to strip english sound bytes from Macross plus episodes and make a dub of the movie. Find some voices that are close for the new scenes in the movie. If you did a decent job I bet you'd have a good market here on macrossworld and ebay. Might even get you noticed by ADV.
