electric indigo Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Cyber Formula, Crusher Joe Minerva, Appleseed, Patlabor, another Garland - what other overpriced toys could you want for the next year? http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/008075/ Quote
Jeremy007 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) wow! there is alot of great stuff coming out! I need a second job. Edited October 13, 2007 by Jeremy007 Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I thought it was a reunion tour of George Michael and Andrew Ridgley... Yeah, I was drooling at those Appleseed figures in the HobbyJapan pages. 1/10 scale too.... How can I go from broke to broker... Quote
mpchi Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Not too impressed by WHAM so far though, with Macross just being ok, and quite overpriced. Now that they re-released the "movie version', I don't really know what version I bought back then . So not sure if I'll go for another WHAM. "Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry...." Edited October 13, 2007 by mpchi Quote
areaseven Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 It ain't WHAM! without the "Choose Life" T-shirts. BTW, mpchi, you're confusing WHAM! with Culture Club. Quote
Hikuro Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Well gundam Exia is on there, that peaked my interest. Quote
the white drew carey Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Those Patlabor kits look wrong. Quote
mpchi Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 BTW, mpchi, you're confusing WHAM! with Culture Club. Haha. I know. Just thought the lyrics applies to my situation on the Macross repaint. LOL. Quote
DARKWIND Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I wouldn't mind paying for the Minerva as long as the smaller vehicles come with it. And can be stored inside it. Quote
gerwalk25 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I thought this thread was about the George Michael and Andrew Ridgely reunion tour! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Great. Another Ingram high end toy. I'm glad I'm not that much of a Labor fan. I'm also glad that they're putting Briareos and not the Landmate out, or I'd be in big trouble. The Garland is a must for me. This time they went straight to the Proto Garland tho', I wonder if they're trying to beat Yamato at their own game. Quote
Chet Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Are these going to be model kits or pre-built? Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I think some of them, like the Garland and the Appleseed figures will be more like toys, kind of like the SDF-1 of the same line. Quote
Graham Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 That Helldiver will be mine, oh yes it will! Graham Quote
konimon Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) I think some of them, like the Garland and the Appleseed figures will be more like toys, kind of like the SDF-1 of the same line. Appleseed figures are completed action figures. They looks great. Proto Garland is a plamodel. I made up my mind with transformable Yamato unless Aoshima decides to make one. That Helldiver will be mine, oh yes it will! So they are the same scale as CM's gokin/vinyl Patlabor. Although Helldiver is a good one, I must resist starting a whole new labor collection...

Skullsixx Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Damn... and I thought George Michael was making a comeback! Quote
drifand Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 So they are the same scale as CM's gokin/vinyl Patlabor. Although Helldiver is a good one, I must resist starting a whole new labor collection... Actually, CM's Corp has never given an official scale for their Patlabor figures (both Brave Gohkin and soft-vinyl). Initially I'd thought the scale was close to 1/48 because the pilot figures were a perfect fit for Takara's 1/48 ActicGear Votoms. However, careful measurements and averaging of of head-heights throughout the line-up gives evidence of a scale closer to 1/46. Still, I suppose a 4% difference in scale will hardly be noticeable. When the WHAM AV-98 is released, I'll take my CM's to the stores for a comparison. If the sizes aren't too mismatched, I will be open to the possibility of buying the Helldiver. It's not a must-have (yet) because CM's may still release a Helldiver in their non-gohkin line (like the upcoming AV-0 Peacemaker), which will probably have the 'advantage' of real-cloth shrouds for the joints, whereas the WHAM prototype seems to sport molded rubber/PVC, which MAY look out-of-place next to the CM's labors. The worst-case scenario would be for CM's to anounce a gimmickless but oh-so-niche sofubi Helldiver... because I'd be SO tempted to have THAT as well as a fully articulated WHAM version Quote
Legioss Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 You can have my credit card baby, But keep your red hot fingers off of my heart lady. All I know is what I see, You’re getting what you want and girl it ain’t just me. No matter how you cry, I’m not giving any love away... Do you think I’m crazy? All I know is what I see, And what can I do When you pretend that you’re in love with me baby? Quote
drifand Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Quick add-on: The text on the cards say the Ingram will be ABS & DIECAST, while Helldiver will be ABS & PVC... So WAVE are following CM's same-scale but multi-tier strategy? Also, WHAM Ingram = 10,290yen CM's Ingram = 12,800yen So the WHAM is likely to have a higher plastic-to-metal ratio, if the SDF-1 is anything to gauge by. Quote
Godzilla Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Well, I am getting tired of more toys of Patlabor, however, I like Helldiver. That thing looks cool. Quote
Duymon Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 HELLDIVER!! Too bad it's not 1/35, I always wanted bandai to make an MG Helldiver, but I'll settle for the wave 1/48 Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Wave's Minerva looks beautiful. I love the detailing but she sure is expensive. I also didn't know Shoji Kawamori designed this. http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVCJ-01 Quote
electric indigo Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 One of my favourite starship designs. And I agree that it's expensive, or it should be a lot bigger. I have the old 1/500 Takara kit and it's about 26 cm! Quote
