Yeah those two figures look more like cosplaying the dirty pair than actually being the dirty pair. They look like crap to be honest.

The only way I'd improve the Yamato is replace the 3rd bridge with another shock cannon turret and add more AA guns to the side/bottom of the ship. I'm pretty sure the anchor is a Nishizaki thing btw.

Hey guys, I think this might be the first topic I've ever actually started on macrossworld. I've actually been contemplating to do a thread on Kaiju for a while especially since there really hasn't been one that I recall. I just couldn't decide on a way to kick it off. What changed? Well with Pacific Rim coming in a couple of months, and next year the american Godzilla reboot now is as good a time as any. That and thanks to Media Blasters, and Miramax releasing Godzilla Vs. Megalon and Godzilla Vs. Biolante respectively I now own all the Godzilla films on dvd.* Of the two I have to say I enjoyed Megalon more. Yeah its cheesy, but its entertaining as hell and Media blasters did one hell of a job on remastering it. Biolante while it has amazing special effects(the G suit is the best of the heisei era) the story isn't that great and I'm still trying to figure out why people over at tohokingdom.com think its one of the great G films of all time. Its still not as bad as the garbage that is Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah. What's the worst one to you guys? Aside from the 1998 american film? Speaking of the 98 film, its actually enjoyable as giant monster film, as long as you don't think of the monster as Godzilla himself which is what the Japanese have done with several of the millenium era films. Anybody else here like Giant Monster figures, toys, and etc? Feel free to discuss them. I've been buying the U.S. Bandai vinyls off and on since I think 2000, but lately it seems they've gone to crap. The latest run is a bunch of reissues with the exception of I think Showa Mechagodzilla. The paints are all wrong(spacegodzilla is black instead of blue) and each figure comes in both a normal version, and a lame gimicky version that feels softer and has sparkles. The only one I picked up was the GMK Godzilla since I missed it the first time around. *(All the films have been released in the United States on dvd with the exception of 1984's Return of Godzilla. I broke down and imported the original Japanese version because it was subbed, and is very different than the american Godzilla 1985 cut.)

Yes which is exactly why I'm against this film being made despite being a robotech fan. To be honest I'm expecting much worse than a Bay film. Much MUCH worse. I'm talking Rise of Cobra and Wing Commander the motion picture bad.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm

It's about as much of an expansion pack as Wings of Liberty was a complete game.- 44 replies

She's also known as Zhao Yun and this particular figure is based on the artwork gracing the cover of the 14th volume of the manga aka Battle Vixens.

You want dark? Look at the two ewok stand alone films. Caravan of courage introduces us to the Towani family crash landing on endor and reuniting after being split up. Family friendly right? They all die with the exception of the little girl in the first five minutes of the sequel.

Given the prices I've seen people pay for custom's, 3rd parties, and knockoffs I'd say the fans.

Nope! I loved the prison episodes, and killcrazy was hilarious!

Didn't say. Discotek is still a small company and doing BD's is expensive for them, but they said they would do it for the right title. If they aquire gunbuster too it might be BD time.

Discotek media just announced via their facebook page that they picked up diebuster(gunbuster 2) for a complete series sub only release for most likely 29.95.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
renegadeleader1 replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I personally think the best sandbox games were both the Mercenaries games. I absolutely loved how it would pretty much give you a mission, and only suggested a way to complete it leaving it all up to you how to get it done. Assassinate a guy from long range so you aren't seen? Forget the sniper rifle and call down the carpet bomb. Drive a ambulance along a long winding narrow road covered in mines? Use a chopper and airlift it to the destination. Of all the sandbox games I've played these were the best. I wish there was a sequel comming, but thanks to EA that's not going to happen- 6945 replies

Personally I'd go with the Shizuka Queen's Blade figure. I always liked her character and $72 is a bit of a steal for that figure. I also believe it will be harder to find than the Black Widow later on. Unless you are collecting every Black Widow and really need this one I'd skip it. In a few month's Marvel will no doubt release another Black Widow in a new pose tht will be another must have impulse. Funny thing is the comic store I get my Gundams at seems to always have these hard to find figures including Black Widow, the pole dancing Kanu Unchou, real style Kanu, and Powergirl. The prices aren't bad either compared to online.

ROBOTECH- VALKYRIE PROYECTO
renegadeleader1 replied to MILKAUTICO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In robotech chronology there was a "global civil war" going on when the SDF-1(Zor's Battlefortress) hit Macross Island. All warring parties ceased activity and worked together to salvage the ship in the face of a greater threat. All of the human's transforming technology in robotech's universe come from the ship so this short has to take place after the SDF-1 first hit. My guess is this is set just prior to the SDF-1 launch and features an advanced zentreadi raiding party. -

That's because the developers that made the first Far Cry weren't involved with any of the sequels. Crytek got dumped and went on to make spiritual sequels with the Crysis series. Far Cry is developed by Ubisoft Montreal now going off in their own direction.- 6945 replies

ROBOTECH- VALKYRIE PROYECTO

Gainax are punks too for the Daicon III & IV videos. Outside of the girl(who was probly a knockoff) they owned none of the material and had pirated ELO music to boot! -
ROBOTECH- VALKYRIE PROYECTO
renegadeleader1 replied to MILKAUTICO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Agreed and agreed. -
I disagree. The book was written in 2006, set in contemporary times, and yet all the military can do is use incompetent Vietnam era cold war tactics. Not very well researched, or representative of the modern military.

I've thought about this for a while, but does anybody else think now that the fellowship of the ring had it easier, even though by their time 60 years later Mordor was on the brink of destroying everything?
