I might be spouting sacrilege, but I don't think Mikimoto ever matured with his digital artwork. His earlier marker and watercolor pieces make his current work look like he is the apprentice taking over from an earlier artist. My opinion only.... And just to illustrate I am not just the old man raving about the good-ole-days I'm eager to see what the first fully AI science fiction film might look like, I think it will redefine the genre. /soapbox

Finally got mine. I love that there are many full-page images.

Thanks, I don’t think it will come back in stock since it was a pay now preorder I think but it is worth the try. -

Does anyone still have the product page for the Metal Build Zeta Gundam from Anime Export? I missed the preorder and trying to snipe one on release date but I lost the page because I had to clear my browser history.

While reading, I jumped the gun and thought you discovered the paladin pack for the Prophecy. Turns out you meant color coded super and amored packs lol. Aside from the lance, I think it was mostly just made of the two former packs mixed and matched. Good job with Sheryl, I'm sure she couldn't have been made in that pose without you having first gone through the unspeakable horrors in that folder lol.

It must be me, but the legs seem a tad short. I'm very curious to see this in the real. Either way, i'm happy there's more Deculture coming out. But i have no interest in this scale for myself. A lobster valk , at any scale, may have opened my wallet tho..

did you ever buy that MB GN Arms? -
Way before the Fine Molds 1/72 F-14 existed, there was pretty much the Hasegawa and Fujimi options. And the Fujimi just had a way better parts breakdown and fit than the Hasegawa. So I imagine a VF-1 from them could have an equally-notable "modeler-friendly while still being highly detailed" aspect to it.
-
The video was posted, Fujimi starts at around 20, and after watching this (auto-translate closed captioning!) I feel really positive about this new design, he really seems to care about all the dimensions and balance of the vf-1. I was very surprised at the amount of depth they are considering in the very small design.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Copying this over from the MTL thread... One of the little details that Frontier got "wrong" - or rather an inconsistency it created - is the designations of unmanned fighters. It's an incredibly trivial thing to get annoyed over, so you bet my profoundly pedantic arse is irritated by it. 🤣 Both the pre-war Earth UN Forces and the post-war New UN Forces cribbed their hull symbol system and their classification systems for aircraft, missiles, etc. from the US tri-service system. It's not a particularly surprising outcome, given Japan's strategic position as a US ally, the choice of an American fighter as the basis of the VF-1, and the main countries behind OTEC and the early Unification Government being mainly the US and its allies. Anyway, the Ghosts used during the Unification Wars, the First Space War, and afterwards are all designated QF as you'd expect the military to designate an unmanned fighter. We have the QF-2200 and the QF-3000 series. Very old lore mentions that the developers are working on a QF-5000 to replace the QF-3000E eventually (this is from '84). It wasn't until after General Galaxy was formed from the merger of OTEC and various other defense companies and Ghost production resumed under their banner that we start seeing AIF numbers. Those AIF numbers are explicitly General Galaxy's internal product code for the Ghost, with the first mentioned being AIF-3Ex as the designation for their improved version of the QF-3000E designated QF-3100EX. When General Galaxy and the Macross Concern developed next-generation unmanned fighter concepts, we got the (AIF-)X-9 Ghostbird prototype. Macross Galaxy's corporate army developed that into the AIF-9V after equipping it with anti-Vajra equipment, while the Frontier fleet used two different versions of it under the names AIF-7S and QF-4000. The problem is that the designations are backwards. The civilian PMC should be referring to their Ghosts using manufacturer model numbers (AIF-7) while the military should be using the military QF designation. In the Macross Frontier drama CDs, LAI is developing a next-generation Ghost with the company internal designation AIF-X-8S, while in the movies Macross Galaxy's corporate army's operating a non-clandestine unmanned fighter with the designation QF-5100. So the Frontier situation's this weird one-off error where the designation usage is reversed... Yeah, it's probably Dr. Neumann.🤣 Not so much back to the drawing board, since the actual X-9 design ended up being produced just without the autonomous AI. It just kind of put the New UN Forces and New UN Gov't in the position of asking themselves "Wait, some of us are old enough to have seen Terminator, right?" and curtail the use of autonomous AI as a dangerously immature technology. -
Kinda was just thinking that the names Leslie Nielsen and Liam Neeson sound awkwardly similar if you say them over a few times

[Warner Bros] Minecraft - The Movie
jvmacross replied to Old_Nash_II's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Saw this yesterday with the kids....was a goofy and fun watch....a sequel definitely was setup but I guess that happens with any movie these days.... -
I might not go for the YF-19, but I also hope they do it in HMR. Then they can redeco it blue as the VF-19A from VF-X2, and that I'd buy.
-
I skipped the Fire Valkyrie as I prefer my valks to not have faces, but I'm solidly in for this. Especially if the speaker pods are removable.
-
Always looking forward to more TRON content. NIN should be cool. I loved the Daft Punk sounds. There's some great Daft Punk legacy video mixes on utube . As they're no longer together, i'm not surprised we'll be hearing something different.

Automan was a TRON ripoff but now Disney is ripping off Automan 🤣 Who else here remembers watching this series? I loved it as a kid.

That's one of the big benefits to these for me, they're much easier to display in cramped spaces, and I don't feel so protective of them that I don't want to leave them on my desk at work. It's also a lot less work to customize them compared with the Yamato.

I don't know, it is fun to have on the desk at work.
