There’s silver trim, gold trim and then the Kamjin one before he kills Roy. It’s briefly shown. It basically gets shot up quickly before he jumps out of the armor to battle Roy in just his battle suit. Kind of a blink and you could easily miss itthe other two really look more white and cream yellow, I just usually say silver and gold and people usually don’t argue with that Edited January 30 by Big s

KOG Water Dragon Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 Although it's great to see all the pods and power armors... is anyone ever going to remember we still need a 1/72 destroid Spartan?

That being said, I have watched the beautiful battle between Milia “Miria” and Max lit by muzzle flashes multiple times. Edited January 31 by Papa Rat
Shawn Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I guess there is also a Nous-ger Missile back back variant in the background when they are about to go into the sdf-1 in the movie, that would be a cool variant.

There was never a Destroid Spartan. It was all in your imagination. The line art you see on macross2 is just an elaborate hoodwinking campaign by dedicated fans. All footage that features it was the fans getting their hands on the physical tape and acid-etching it into scenes.

Papa Rat Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) I’d also like to see a tomahawk make a return. Can’t pull the trigger on the wave kit going for $120 or whatever on eBay. Edited January 31 by Papa Rat

Anyway, I’m still hoping that’s a tease for an upcoming kit

But I don't think I could muster enthusiasm to get every male power armor variation like I bought all the Regults and all the beautiful VF variations.

I didn’t realize there were more than three variants. I like the Gold one best, but it’s gonna be tough to find space for these, especially if they start doing tv armors as well.

Quote 劇場版 ゼントラーディ人の設定改変により、内部も純機械的な構造から生体メカに変更されている。テレビ版では中盤から登場するが、劇場版では冒頭から登場し、マクロス艦内市街地に侵入するなどリガードよりも活躍の機会が多い。テレビ版ではグラージに搭乗していたカムジンや、偵察機に搭乗していたワレラ、ロリー、コンダの3人も、劇場版では皆、本機を使用する。 オリジナルデザインは宮武一貴だが、劇場版では出渕裕が全体的なリファインを行い、特に頭部のデザインが無貌からカメラアイを有した形状へ一新されている。レーザーマシンピストル以外の携行武装の類は未装備となっているが、マクロス艦内市街地に侵入するときの1カットのみ、プラスマキャノンの代わりにミサイルポッドを装着する機体が描かれている。 32 minutes ago, Bolt said: What?

They were still available in almost every good model store when I visited Tokyo in June 2024 - Yodobashi (both Akihabara and Shinjuku), Volks, Mandarake in Nagano, checking my photos from the trip. ¥6730 at Yodobashi. The Phalanx was plentiful too. I’d look around online (especially Mandarake) to seen what they may cost now and what shipping would be. Certainly cheaper than eBay.

Shawn Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Ha! I love seeing that feeling of new discovery after all these years. All too rare anymore!
Big s Posted February 2 Posted February 2 3 hours ago, Shawn said: Ha! I love seeing that feeling of new discovery after all these years. All too rare anymore! I was pretty surprised as well. Until you mentioned it the other day, I had no idea of its existence. Even google searching, you gotta be specific about the missile backpack or else just the three color variations pop up and most sites only mention those. I couldn’t even find a line art or anything about it, just a couple screenshots of that scene. I don’t even know if they show up anywhere else in the movie

However, due to overall image darkness and the screen cropping, they're barely visible. It's no wonder that nobody really noticed them until the BR release about a decade ago!

The dumb part is that I kinda remember missiles being fired, but I never thought to wonder where they came from. I do have to admit that most of the time it was a video cassette that I was watching and they probably just didn’t show well on there
Shawn Posted February 3 Posted February 3 It was know earlier than this, but earliest mention on this version of the forums was 2004 omg that was 21 freaking YEARS ago here. Windjammer old school!

Windjammer old school! That just slipped through the sacred timeline and was forgotten. It's funny (and telling) that a lot of that thread goes off into the "what's canon " rabbit hole . No wonder it's been buried. Considering its obscurity, and the fact that i've never seen one, even from Wonderfest, if Hasegawa ever does a missile version , i would be most impressed. As it stands, just gimme the Kamjin DYRL version!
sketchley Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I understand. 🫠 It's just like the Zentrādi Heavy Fighter Pod and Automated Refueling Tanker—hidden in plain sight all along. However, unlike the shoulder missile launcher on the Nūjaderu-Gā, they at least appeared in passing in print!
Big s Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I still think they should have added standing figures of Max And Mirya and maybe a generic meltran as incentive to buy this one.
jenius Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I was just watching DYRL wondering why no one ever made the cannon fodder Qrau and boom, here it is!
