Crap. I meant to say George Miller, not Frank Miller. I always get those two mixed up. 😄

I knew which miller you were talking about, I tend to confuse names as well

Yeah, those look great. Looks like you don’t need to do much at all to give it the basic appearance from the show

Hasegawa has released pics of the unpainted, assembled kit. 

This looks awesome, even unpainted. I have zero painting skills so I might actually pick this up as it looks so good.

At Aoshima, we were hoping to do an all-new tooling for the Mad Max Interceptor, and if we could've gotten the license then I'm sure it would've been retooled to make both the black Interceptor and regular yellow/blue pursuit cars, plus the modified version from the 2nd movie. Who knows? Maybe even a stand-alone Ford Falcon model car. Alas, I was given a definite "NO" from the movie studio. Frank Miller refuses to allow his works being licensed. He probably saw too many Jar Jar Binks pajamas and the whole nightmare of Star Wars licensing and refused to go down that route. 

Big Mad Max fan here.

Now, back to our regular Hasegawa content. 😅

I'm planning to attend the All-Japan Model Hobby Show on the 17th. I'll take pictures and video of the event and share pics here of the new stuff. I hope to get closeup pictures of their VT-01 figures of Hikaru, Minmay, and Misa.

Awesome news! Looking forward to seeing your  picks

That's terrific Greg! Thanks for letting us know. Now I won't have to searching in hopes of finding pics of those figures!

Exciting stuff. Have fun.

Thanks. I wasn't able to go last year, but I went the year before and I hung out and had pizza with a guy I know who is responsible for brokering the deal between Big West and the villainous Harmony Gold after catching HG lying in a court trial. (They were using Valkyrie designs from DYRL and claiming that they were from TOS and since the info on the case was available online, he caught their subterfuge!) He now works for Big West and we're now finally getting Macross internationally. I swear, if HG spent more effort on making anime fans happy than going after people with their stupid lawsuits, maybe we'd begin to respect them.

If they had spent money on actual writers instead of lawyers...
