It's a fair and unbiased review, and he specifically addresses the improvements made to the Houquet figure (who doesn't fall apart like Stig does); he even acknowledges that picky fans will want to repaint her.

He is correct on all counts. 

 

Great work, as usual! 

Do you mind sharing which paints/markers you used and how you applied them? 

Did a lot of people skip the Eta/blue Legioss waiting for the Zeta/red? 

Just curious as it looks like there is a lot of excitement from people waiting for this release, which is a standard VF paint scheme and head change plus extras. 

But yeah, I hit that shipping button as soon as payment cleared as well... should be here Monday.

Do you have rough shipping costs? 

I remember it being really vicious even for small packages from Canada, and that was before COVID-19,

Down for three at this stage.  

Thanks Capt!

Cool!  Is it articulated?

I really should get back to finishing my one... 

So who is it safe to order exclusives from, seeing as Anime-Export are kinda crappy too?

No i don't. I just know because they emailed me.

Okay, thanks.  I have my DX Fokker preorder with them, so I'm probably screwed.

Well it looks like Oh My Primus wasn't able to fulfil their preorders. They refunded me my money.  This sucks. Though maybe dodged a bullet? Looks like this release may be a lemon.

That sucks!!

Do you know if it was all of their orders or just some?

Yeah, it's the document mentioned on the cover as "Scenario File".  I've got a lead on scans for you though, so I may be able to save you a hunt.

So this arrived today.

I couldn't find any of those isographic images tho. 

I might need your help finding those scans after all.

I changed a notfication setting so maybe that will flush it out

It seems to be something to do with Hotmail. I changed to another email account and everything seems to be working again. I wasn't able to then change back to Hotmail as I couldn't receive the update confirmation email.

Lisa Hayes just shipped.

Splendid!

so lisa hayes coming into stock soon.  haven't orderd yet.  did i miss any preorder bonus? 

considering fokker (and is anyone gonna order that WITH the guitar? i feel like its dumb but might want it)  and cheongsom minmei too.  is there any incentive to actually preorder these figures from KC directly early?  or should i just wait until just before release like i did hear with lisa?  they do make you prepay if i remember right?

One of the reasons to pre-order is to secure an order. COVID-19 etc, they could be tricky to find if KC sell out.

Is there an updated release schedule for their upcoming Macross stuff? (I only collect the 1/12 figures tho)

That would be cool, but I bought that item before I posted the link, so hopefully I will have the book in a week or so. Awaiting Mandrake confirmation.

Many thanks again, Seto!

Yeah, that's the right issue... if you go hunting for it make sure you get the scenario file with it.

Is that the appendix Mandrake they refer to in the listing?

Not that I'm aware... you'd have to track down a physical copy on Mandarake, Yahoo! Auctions Japan, or a similar site.

Some, but not all, of the material from My Anime's June 1984 issue is in This is Animation 10, but the print quality is iffy and the size is poor in both.

Thanks again!

Is this the one?  https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1148078918&ref=list&keyword=My Anime June 1984&lang=en

Well, it will be my pleasure to put my skills to work providing clarity to all who wish it.

Awesome! Many thanks for that list!  I overlooked the Bioroid Type II (Late Period).

The six types of Bioroid are as follows (art sourced from My Anime June 1984 issue):

Is this available anywhere, or are there any high resolution scans online? I'm very interested in the isometrics for the different bioroids.

42 minutes ago, Seto Kaiba said:

Seifriet Weiss's Bioroid isn't a separate model, it's just an Early Period Bioroid Type II with a red paint job instead of green.  At one point in This is Animation 10 it's referred to as Type II Custom, but with no indication given as to whether it's actually customized in any way besides giving it a different color paint (or why).  

The red one Seifriet uses has a different head and torso layout compared to the green one. At least in the Palladium books anyway... 

1 hour ago, Seto Kaiba said:

From what I've seen, most interest in Bioroids is firmly centered on the "Early Type" Bioroids that dominated the first two-thirds of the series.  Mainly Seifreit's red Early Type II Bioroid, with the stock green Early Type II and blue Early Type I as a peripery interest.  Most folks - including Robotech's official coverage - tend to forget there were four more models of Bioroid in the OSM.  Kinda like how almost nobody remembers that there were actually multiple types of Spartas head.

EDIT: To clarify terms, the Bioroids didn't have names in the OSM... they were just referred to as the Early, Middle, or Late type and Type I or Type II for that period.  The model Robotech calls the Invid Fighter or the Armored Bioroid was the Middle Type II.

So I'm a bit confused, as usual. 

I thought there were 6 variants - including the so-called 'Bioroid Worker' (which was unseen in the anime).

Bioroid Worker - lineart only

Bioroid Soldier - Blue

Bioroid Leader - Red

Bioroid Guard - Green

Bioroid Scout - Light Blue

Bioroid Invid Fighter - Brown

This is mostly from the Palladium RPG books, so there is some contradiction.

The last time I received an email notification of a forum topic reply was about a week ago. This has happened on another forum I regularly get notifications from too. Is this a forum setting or something at my end..?

Hi,

Some others comments about this new Mospeada artbook ?

Your opinion ?

Roughly, it's 85% stuff we've seen many times before, 10% pics of toys and kits, 5% promotional and concept work for Genesis Breakers.

There seems to be very little new lineart, but maybe you've seen it before... 

I just got the payment notification for the Three Zero Unit 1 Patlabor from HLJ. 

Splendid!

In that case...are we getting the Col. Wolf and dark ride-armor variants??

I'm not sure how Johnson, Shinobu, etc would work with their canon. Ie weather or not Sentinel's ride armors are reinterpretations or advancements of the original ride armors. Same for the Legioss.

Is there no love for the Legioss Drone? It seems to be completely overlooked now. I think only CMs did a version of it,

We all have to wait till October as there is another possible pre-order block open. Who knows what Bandai has planned to exhibit for the upcoming Tamashii Nations show, it's all speculation for now on what will be displayed.   

When is the Tamashi Nations show?
