FlyingPika Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 i am in total awe of that garland....... even a figure, and its hugeeeeee robotech the movie was not butchered...... The dubbing etc was good. Yamato has shot right to the top of my books, if this wot they have been working on i can wait for the yf-19 FP. VB-6 and modat 5....... both dreams come true... i actually remember about 2-3 yrs ago riding home on my bike going thro this twisty winding downhill peice of road preying that yamato will make a garland... i honestly never thought it would happen tho. I bet with the 1/48 armour you'll have to keep the nosecone off. YAMATO CAN HAVE MY BABY ANYTIME =THXNS and those of you that havent seen megazone 23, its >>>>>>> macross *runs around in bliss abit* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Nope. Just guns. It's a lot like Macross and Akira, not like Gundam. The garland certainly carries a gun, but I remember a "lightsaber" fight near the end of the second chapter between the strike Garland and the Hargun (I think), pretty much a la Gundam UGH! Good thing the Garland carries a gun. As for the pilot, it is supposed to go inside the bike when in "Modat" mode, If Yamato could pull this off it'll be a kick ass toy, but if you look at the line art there's a lot of anime magic on that, 'cuz there's no way a person with two legs could fit in there.

Fort Max Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 There was a drawing I saw yesterday via toyboxDX which showed exactly how the cockpit opened up. on that Mecha anime hq place I think, sorry I forget it's proper name.

EXO Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I have that lineart that shows the guy inside. Also there's a wooden mock up of the Garland. So they had it thought out since back then... Transformation should be feasable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 That Garland looks cool, and though I haven't seen Megazone-23 I might be interested in that particular mecha. I think I missed the post with the scale, what was it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 The figure they used is 1/18 scale, but he looked kinda small. My guesstimate would be 1:15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drad Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) Ouch. If that Garland takes a direct hit to the chest, the pilot's looking at having both of his legs busted.. at the very least. I'll leave the rest of you to consider the other possibilities. Edited September 1, 2004 by Drad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Oh dear, just as I suspected the revised head laser sculpt on the VF-0S head with those widely canted head lasers looks awful in fighter mode. The lasers are angled too far out the sides. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 do you think the headlasers could've bent out because of the stress from the sculpt? i mean the lights the model were under could've been heated up the proto enough to bend the lasers...oh well, i guess that's what modding is for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LePoseur Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Just a little clearing up for the non-Megazone23 fans. (Without giving away plot points or spoilers) There was a "lightsaber" style weapon used by B.D. against the Garland in the first movie, but that was the first and the last you ever see of it. I assume that the original (coming out of the early 80's) had lightsabers and beam sabers squarely in the "cool" center of the brain. By the time Part II came out, all of this was dropped, and it wasn't until Part three until there were melee weapons (Eiji's knives) again.

connor99 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Man, the VF-0S is a real disappointment. Might have to settle for a HASE kit. 1/48 GBP Armor and 1/60 MONSTER-----be mine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I`ve got a crazy idea; "Realtime Wonderfest Status Report and Purchasing" Durring this last wonderfest I called Rob alot to tell him what was out and get buy/nobuy advice. I could do this again next wonderfest if there is someone who will be in Japan but not going to wonderfest. I could call over reports and have someone post here and relay back orders. I could even take pics(really bad ones, unless the 2megapixel cellphones get lower in price) and have them posted durring wonderfest. Everyone would have to be awake from 10am to 5pm Japan time.

Therein lies the problem. When's the next one, anyway? Oh, yeah. About that 1/48 GBP -- I'm really pleased this has been announced, even if it's not official yet. That means I can leave the 1/60 version forever on the shelf. Edited September 1, 2004 by Renato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
