I hope that the statement, "the items will be shipped with the Alus Edition UHD Blu-rays" means that the discs are coming soon.  This has been dragging on for a while now.  I know there was some extra stuff going on, but these were originally promised by last December.

Wow $30 for an acrylic stand…

I’ll probably just go for the patch.

I couldnt tell from the latest update how big the standee will be.   Had to go back and look it up.  Originally he was proposing 2 options a 1/10 scale at $20 or a 1/6 scale at $30 plus shipping.  He mentions on the latest update that the standee is $30 including shipping.  So, I wonder will the standee be 1/10 ($20+$10 shipping)?  Or, is he giving us a break and it will be 1/6 at $30 shipped?

 

Edit: I asked the question on Kickstarter. The standee will be 1/10 scale at around 6.5"

Welcome to Kickstarter. The only way to sell something if you have absolute contempt for your customers. 

(Here's a good explanation of why I say that. It doesn't even touch on the standard multi-year delays.)

Update # 36.

Lookin' good.

The artbook promises to be a bit of a doorstopper.  It's 60% bigger than planned, up to 240 pages from 150.

Why is Mikimoto-san drawing Ishtar a child's face now?

Pretty sure he's just drawing her in his more modern style.

IMO, it doesn't look that far off how she actually appears in the animation:

Yeah, I really don't notice a difference here either.

I hope that there are lots of mecha designs in the book.

Yeah, it didn't stop me from buying multiples because hey... it was anyone's guess when Macross II would get another toy release... but it'd be nice to have something higher quality and hopefully this Kickstarter among other things will demonstrate that demand exists for more Macross II stuff.

Hey Seto! First hi! It's been awhile, and second. Do you know how they compare to the Hi-Metal releases?  Am tempted to buy the Silvie and Nex versions to complete my little Macross II bluray release shrine. The hi metal look nice, but am not sure as I have never bought one. Thanks again and good to see you!😁
