You buy a lot of lottery tickets, don't you?

Yamato's website says that the Boomer is 4.24" and the AD Police are 4.00". It also says 1/15th scale. So, that means the Boomer would in reality be 5'4" and the AD Police would be 5'0". If we assume that it should really be 1/18th scale, and not 1/15th, then the Boomer would be 6'4" and the AD Police would be 6'0". I think that this proves that Yamato's 1/15 are really 1/18th, at least when it comes to BGC... not sure about the Megazone 23 Garlands... ... and I should've ordered the 1/18th CMs MOSPEADA to match my motoslave, instead of the 1/15th Megahouse MOSPEADA...
-
I know, but I'm thinking of the bodyguards for the Genom execs, who, even compressed and in their skin, still looked to be well over 6' tall, maybe closer to 7'.
-
Yeah, I always figured that the bodyguard ones were like 6'6" or 7', and then when they kind of bulge out to normal boomer look they were more like 7'-8' tall.
-
There's also the question of if the Boomer is REALLY 1/15th scale, or if it's scaled to match the Priss figure. Remember the debate about the Motoslave saying 1/15th, but the separate figures originally saying 1/18th.
-
You're both probably right. It would be different if these toys had real skeletons to attach parts to, but really most toys are just shells, more exoskeletons with joints than anything else. I don't even know what you would make pieces out of if you wanted to make your own.
-
Would there be any way to take a beat up Legioss or TLEAD and make them into an Inbit, while maintaining the joints? Or would trying to mold on new shells to that skeleton just be way too much work?
-
Sorry, slacked off. I need to post up my review of Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles.
-
While I'd rather have a vinyl Inbit than no Inbit at all, I still prefer toys with actual movable parts and joints rather than vinyl.
-
That would make more sense than the acronyms do!
-
I'm definitely getting it, through prefer a US site if at all possible.
-
Cool, thanks. I'll have to see if I can find it on eBay or anything.
-
I know I asked this in the previous thread, but can't remember what the reply was, and am having trouble finding it now. What was that page taken from? I LOVE these designs!
-
I'm just going to keep denying it and refusing to look at the dozens of pics proving it IS indeed a TLEAD... sooner or later, someone will find that one magic pic that calls it a TREAD first... just have to keep waiting... keep denying...
-
I think we're at the point where any and all of that is down to personal preference. It looks like the Beta was named, by the creators, as the TLEAD, so this is probably the real name. However, I still prefer the name TREAD. I prefer Ray to Lei. As for Scott, Stick as a nickname sounds better to me, but Stig as a Nordic name makes some level of sense too, but I don't know if their is any merit to this, or if this is a coincidence and something that ADV made up.
-
There were several pictures of this in the previous thread. You can make it LOOK like they're linked up, but they don't really link up. As for the Aoshima Alphas, I've usually seen them for the same price as Toynami, or even $10 or $20 more (I think because of lower production numbers).
-
I need to rewatch. Sadly enough, I only just rewatched the movies about 3 weeks ago, but really mainly paid attention to the Garlands.
-
Now I REALLY can't wait for my order to come in, and to set up that metallic Boomer next to my metallic Priss.
-
I suppose, though I'm sure you could find a way to write it in.
-
So, final opinion: What seems to match the Yamato Garlands and Motoslaves better? A 1/18th CMs MOSPEADA or a 1/15th Megahouse?
-
I ordered mine from the Yamato-USA site. Says it's a March preorder. Of course, my Beagle/Toynami Cyclone was preordered from Robotech.com, and they shipped theirs like a week later than all of the online retailers.
-
Not that different, seeing as how any non-MOSPEADA Robotech characters were changed so that they no longer really looked like their Macross or Southern Cross counterparts. If you didn't know any better, never heard of Robotech, and watched the animation (forget the dialog) you could legitimately think this was MOSPEADA 2. The only thing that would have to be different would be that, you know, it would have to no suck.
-
That's the Super Cyclone and Devastator that I mentioned above (though it wasn't called Devastator in the original MOSPEADA designs, I'm sure).
-
I had similar hopes, though, realistically, I didn't believe that it would happen. That was my suspicion as to why it was made so New Gen-centric, with no recognizable non-MOSPEADA characters, so that it could be potentially marketed in Japan as a sequel to MOSPEADA. Maybe it would have, if it had been any good. I got into Megazone 23 and Bubblegum Crisis for the same reason, as MOSPEADAs cousins... lol
-
Was the Devastator Cyclone just created for the RPGs, or was it in the unproduced Artmic designs? I have a picture of a bunch of unused alternate MOSPEADA designs from Artmic, but it isn't in them. Actually, I found a Devastator picture that is Artmic signed and dated:
