    For me, I absolutely LOVE the bikes, and it's all about the bikes for me. That said, I do like the Legioss and TLEAD a ton. I had sworn off collecting anything other than bikes a while ago... but MOSPEADA is kind of the exception when there's a toy that really strikes my fancy. Depending on the final pricing, I'll likely pick up one of each of these. As a side note, Aramaki once said in an interview that they designed the show around the bikes and that was what they really wrote all of the original proposals around. The toy companies were telling them that they needed some planes too, due to the success of Macross licensing, so they basically went back into the office over the weekend and worked out the Legioss and TLEAD in a rush overnight for a pitch in the morning, just to keep the potential advertisers happy.

    Actually, Duke from their G.I. Joe crossover line is probably a better example of the synthetic human with a people suit on.

    I was pretty sure you were, but couldn't help it.

    They make them for the 1/6 scale ones, just not the 1/12

    Ooh, you got the test body one. Very nice. Congrats!

    I don't know what I'm looking at... but I like it.

    I have a few resin model kits. They pop up online fairly regularly, though I think they're recasts of older resin kits mainly.

    THIS! Especially with a transforming Armored Personnel Carrier that can fit inside of it or, alternatively, combine with it.
  9. RavenHawk
    Haha I cheated. It has a white Pretty Armor figure stand supporting it.

    I definitely like the color scheme too. It was the second Garland I got, after the Yamato Proto Garland. I honestly would be surprised if Arcadia ever got around to that color, since I don't recall it being in the movie, but you never know. Still, if it's one or the other, the Arcadia is just a better quality figure.

    Looks really impressive. Would love to see a side shot and get an idea of the under-the-fusselage kibble.

    I didn't take new pics today, but found these that I posted when my army color first came in a few months back. The factory color has the same build quality and revision to the break-prone swingarm as the army color. So, it's improved, but still something you have to be careful with. In my particular case, the Yamato is definitely floppier, so a little better than what you see in the pics since I fiddled with the shoulder magnets a bit, but still nowhere even as close as cleanly locking into position or as durable as the Arcadia. I have all of the Yamatos and I have two of the Arcadia. To me, the Arcadia is a significantly superior product; I really just have all the Yamatos because I wanted to finish out my collection of that line and because I liked all the different color schemes. Does that help, or was there something else you were looking to see?
  13. RavenHawk
    I have both. What are you looking to see? It's identical to the regular Yamato Garland, except for the color and included figure.

    I love the look of this thing so much... and I am probably one of the biggest proponents of going "re-imagined" on this design as much as possible... but the dual exhaust? I think they may have gone too far now.

    Assembled another display case last night and started moving things around, getting ready for more Sentinel and Arcadia releases.

    I was looking into Full Metal Panic! 0 (zero), but info on it seems spotty (and no translations that I could find).
  18. RavenHawk
    It's funny, I was literally just reading up on that. Never seen it or read it, but, while looking for English translations of Rideback, I saw that the creator of that series did a run on Full Metal Panic! Looked up the wiki, and saw that both the anime and the manga are adaptations of the light novels.
  19. RavenHawk
    Definitely looking forward to seeing a more production-ready version of this prototype.
  20. RavenHawk
    Thank you. I appreciate you checking for me. For whatever reason, when it comes to manga and comic books, I really like getting the hardcopies. I have plenty of books in digital (especially ones I tend to re-read), but would love to complete this set on my bookshelf.
  21. RavenHawk
    I agree. I'm guessing it's a fairly matte finish, just with bright lights shining on it in the display.

    Finished up through vol. 5 of Knights of Sidonia... and I'm at a standstill, as I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices people are asking for vol. 6. We're into a lot of details and subplots that were skipped by the anime, and I'm really enjoying it a lot. Also just read vol. 3 of season 1 of Aldnoah Zero and my opinion has improved. It looks like the writer and artist are finally creating their own pacing, transitions, and framing based on the scripts, as opposed to just transferring the anime to manga format. Patiently waiting for Mech Cadet Yu vol. 2 and Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 2 to arrive... Not Manga, but I just read the Halo Graphic Novel (sought it out due to the Tsutomu Nihei story). I thought it was... meh. I was expecting more, since it seems to have gotten pretty solid reviews, but it just didn't do anything for me, and I don't think it was just because I wasn't invested in any of the characters. It seemed like otherwise talented writers and otherwise amazing artists just, you know, contributing something ok. Maybe they had trouble fitting within page limitations? The notes in the book from the creative teams suggest that they were given as much time as they reasonably needed and relatively free reign to do what they wanted.

    I'm sure it can be gotten for cheaper (with more patience, or more diligent searching online), but I'm pretty content with my purchase.
  24. RavenHawk
    Personally (and this is all just personal taste when it comes to these details), I prefer the new color. Something about it just makes me think higher-end product, as compared to the color posted above on the old prototype, which looks more toy-ish to me. I don't know, maybe I'm associating it with some other cheaper figure? Aesthetically, I still like the hexagons.

    I got mine on Amazon (US). It was going for close to $300, so I added it to my watchlist. Every few days it went down by like $10, then someone would buy one and the price would go up again. Eventually, it got down to $115, and that's when I placed my order. Glad I waited, because I was previously kicking myself for not ordering when it got down to $160 and then went back up.
