    The valkyrie toys are expensive to produce, and have a razor thin profit margin and sell in small quantities. CDs are cheap to produce and have high profit margin and sell in huge quantities.

    Actually, during the same Q&A session Producer Kawamori complained that the 3 pillars of Macross limited what he could do story wise. He wanted to get rid of one to be able to tell a new type of Macross story. He already did this once with the Musiculture.

    in a nutshell, he changed his mind. that is just what we heard when he did his question and answer session at the takarazuka macross museum event. tomorrow he may have a different explanation. but for now each and every macross story takes place in an independent parallel world.

    from the mouth of Producer Kawamori "it`s a parallel world"

    its impressive that just adding a picture of a cute girl can increase sales of a WW2 ship model kit by a factor of 10. some people though the Sheryl and Ranka marking YF-29 was silly but this is why.

    I think you are missing the even more obvious effect of M7. It was not "highly emotional effeminate males" but actual young girls that was brought into Macross fandom. Initially male fans of M7 may have been indifferent to this, but once the girls grew up to be women of child bearing age, they quickly saw the benefits. The result is, today we have another generation of Macross fans, who are the offspring of fans of M7. Living here in Japan I have seen ample proof of this. At the last crossover live event, fully half of the audience were female. During the performance of Totsugeki Love Heart, Yoshiki Fukuyama had the audience sing the chorus, with directions that all the females do it, followed by the males. The female sung chorus was just as loud, if not louder than the males. And those young girls, are now middle aged women with discretionary income. One of the few macross events still frequently being held, is the Oshare Macross. Held at the Marui department stores they have merchandice like jewelry and such that is primarily marketed towards women. This puts money in the pockets of Big West, funding future Macross products. Even if some of us are not M7 fans, we must thank the series for ensuring the future of Macross. Please, Agent ONE. visit us in Japan and lets have a drink at Fire BomBAR and you can see how diverse the M7 fanbase actually is.

    we have the ability to do live action frontier. musiculture was just the tip of the iceberg, let takarazuka do it.

    you may think its simple, but to do that an expensive metal rig has to be built that fits flush to the side of the monsters face, just to print that one detail.

    two things you say that are mutualy exclusive are tampo printing and limited run. The cliché(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad_printing) is very expensive, the smaller the run the greater the cost per unit. If you make a 100,000 units like a star wars toy, the cost per unit becomes negligible. But for under 5,000 unit runs like for Macross, its cost prohibitive.

    Me and Dyna Gold want to go. Is there a specific date set yet?
  13. Bariaburu Faita
    Glad to help. See you again next time.
  14. Bariaburu Faita
    Want to go. Who else is going?
  15. Bariaburu Faita
    Wish I could be there. Let here know her fans in Kansai appreciate her singing.
  16. Bariaburu Faita
    the main reason I see, is that it would make for a boring movie.

    he "retires" after almost every major movie project he directs. http://blog.livedoor.jp/dqnplus/archives/1783936.html

    so many doujinshi must be on the way to the printers now.
  20. Bariaburu Faita
    It was my fault for bringing up the politics. I vote to drop it and just carry on with instead, which toy company anywhere in the world should make Pacific Rim toys, and why.

    http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01135/Sci http://www.hlj.com/product/SET88807/Act and by checking places like mandarake you can find revoltechs under 1000yen. where the sentinel tends to sell at a premium above original retail price.
  22. Bariaburu Faita
    excellent, even lower price, and higher number of possible fighting partners. Esp in 1/144 HG scale.
  23. Bariaburu Faita
    well the sentinel costs 500% of what the revoltech version does, so naturally it is much higher quality. And sentinel still lacks others in its line to play with.
  24. Bariaburu Faita
    My vote for which toy company to make Pacific Rim Jagers and Kaijyu would be Kaiyodo, in their Revoltech line. That would be relatively affordable, and have a pre existing horde of mecha and kaijyu to fight with in huge dioramas.
  25. Bariaburu Faita
    Please dont take it wrong, its about Japanese not liking the Movie Pacific Rim, not you. If you visit I will be glad to show you around the Kansai area. And the Tokyo guys would likely say the same. And we will all introduce you to Japanese who have no problem with whatever nationality you are.
