The Kado Senshi was OK, but the joints did seem a bit more fragile than I would have liked. Perhaps a better 'toy' would be the 'Gundam the Origin' PVC/ABS figure. It's 1/144 scale, largely based on the Kado Senshi and even has better joints and detailing in some places. The face sculpt is also similar to the AE Gundam - like a blend of old-school Ohkawara with Katoki'd slickness. Downside of course is the material... PVC is bad news in the tropics. I'd definitely prefer more ABS than PVC... the AE Gundam seems 'just right' for me. Edited for HLJ link. I ordered it because that`s the only 1/144 Gundam figure with a reasonable price and I know it`s impossible to find the Kadoh-Senshi version. I got the MSIA 2nd version of RX-78 and it rocks, BTW Toy Box DX reviewed Kahen-Senshi ZZ and they gave it an excellent review and they say it`s a must buy ! http://www.toyboxdx.com/set-rumble.html

More HGUC goodness for Gundam 0080
Black Valkyrie replied to bsu legato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
FYI, I would not recommend getting the FIX ALEX unless you are a hard core 0080 fan. Some joints are flaky (the lower arms and left leg keeps dropping off), the design very plain and not like other FIXs, plastered with labels, and it doesn't come with the FA armour. Even in its alternative mode (the Gundam Unit 4), it's only so-so. There are some good points to the FIX model, but not enough IMO. I would like to have it but it`s too expenssive for me, I already have an HLJ order on the way. I rather have Zaku-FZ and Gundam NT-1 in HGUC. One more thing MSG0080 is like a curse on me one ever I watch it or listen to the OST I feel sad and my old girl friend looks like Chris a lot Say it ain`t so Berrnie. -
What worries me is that it might turn out like the Escaflowne Dragon <_< , for me it`s hard to have a VF with out die-cast especially in a large scale (1/55, 1/60 or 1/72). Where`s the YF-19FB, don`t tell me this one also won`t have die-cast ?!. Is Yamato abandonning die-casts for their toys ?!.

More HGUC goodness for Gundam 0080
Black Valkyrie replied to bsu legato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I also really wish for a HGUC Zaku-FZ (it`s my favorite of all Zakus) and Gundam NT-1 ALEX. I have both of them as the normal kits plus the MSIA ALEX. The FIX version of ALEX should be out this month. -
Blasphemy! THAT`S YOUR OPINION , I prefer the smaller scales

Speaking of Gundam RX-78-2 figure I wonder this version is good : http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?BAN913933

Bandai America's Latest press release
Black Valkyrie replied to Prowlus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I hope so because the AMSIA where very bad, I had to sell mine for half the price. I`m waiting for good Seed figures, it doesn`t if they are like the normal MSIA or a FIX would do nice -
Still hoping for YF-19FP and VF-0 (A, D or S) type.
-
Some how I had a feeling that 1/48 M&M would be in the pipeline but they are too expensive <_< , I was wishing for YF-19FB. At least HLJ got 1/60 VF-1D and VF-1A CF back in stock to me they are more worthy

Bandai America's Latest press release
Black Valkyrie replied to Prowlus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I brought it up because many people don`t like Z Gundam either the story or the it`s old animation. As for ZZ Gundam it`s a bit lower in the animation than Z and I know many hate ZZ but not me -
Bandai America's Latest press release
Black Valkyrie replied to Prowlus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Enough is enough old anime vs. new anime, each one has his own taste. I my self liked the UC shows very much old or new from the series to OVA`s, the movies and some of the AU shows like Gundam-X and Turn A Gundam. I watched the 1`st three episodes of SEED there was nothing new in it but yet I liked it ! especially the Strike Gundam yet very simple design but very nice. As for Z Gundam the animation is excellent for it`s time, even today you can still watch it then what about macross and other sci -fi anime like the super robot shows or Battle Spaceship Yamato (I liked that show) . OK then how many of you liked ZZ Gundam . I wonder if the DVD Z Gundam will be the series or the movie complition ?. PS: did any of you preordered this item : http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?BAN922805 -
The next alternator, mazda rx-8
Black Valkyrie replied to Mr.Sci-Fi's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
They should ask MIG for 3 reasons. one; everyone thinks of them as enemy fighters anyway, Two; they need the money and Three wouldnt StarScream look cool as a MiIG 29!?! Hybridchild BEST suggestion I've seen yet. MiG and even Sukhoi, perhaps? That would be so cool! Everyone thinks Starscream should be a mig Personally I'd like to see some one make a really good transformer based on an A-10, or perhaps even an Blackbird. Although BT is supposed to be a car only line, that does not leave out the posibility that they may make a whole new brandname line for military vehicles. OK all this talk about Starscream ! then what about Jetfire or Thundercracker, it would be nice to have more jet fighter variations like the alternator cars. -
The next alternator, mazda rx-8
Black Valkyrie replied to Mr.Sci-Fi's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If this really happens a MIG or Sukhoi Starscream now that`s a MUST BUY ! WHO DISRUPTS MY CORONATION ! -
I wonder who started it with this Convoy skull face, it was neither in the original Diaclone comics or the TF show. Why did Takara make this face ?! at first it put me off <_
-
To check the latest Macross news, updates, merchandise and other sci-fi anime news. hmm..... anything else ?! I guess not HA HA HA.
-
Then they should make a He-Man Prime . Anyway to the main point where can I find Hasbro`s version and is it cheaper than Takara`s one ?
-
I forgot to ad this, check the latest news from Konami : (No Castlevania news) http://www.the-magicbox.com/gaming.htm

I know about Cv-LOI I loved that game, music and seiyuu especially Basara and Usher Dunshur`s seiyuus. What I ment a new sequel like for instance where in the game Alucard is born after LOI. As a remake I wish for Castlevania 3- Dracula`s Curse, it my best 8-bit game of the series plus it even has Alucard in it
-
I was wondering is there any new game or a remake to one of the old ones in the pipeline because I remember reading an interview not so long ago with one of the main members of SOTN team, that he was hinting on Castlevania-3 Dracula`s Curse (NES) and Dracula-X (PCE-CD & SNES).

Enough with this MPC crap, Where`s the Legioss/Alpha Toynami

Whats your favorite dirty pleasure Scifi flick?
Black Valkyrie replied to GobotFool's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hmm...... No body mentioned ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW -
Since Bandai rarely makes a new MS in the Kadoh-Senshi category plus quantity, what would you personally wish for the next Kadoh-Senshi or Kahen-Senshi after ZZ Gundam ? I asked many of my friends what Kadoh-Senshi figure would they like to have and the most answer I get is Nu-Gundam, Sazabi and Qubeley So what would you like ?
-
Beautiful especially in fighter mode, excellent work Kurt

You are not the only , it`s too expensive for me. As for this subject it`s really a matter of tastes and opinions, no one is forcing you to love or hate Bandai, Yamato or Hasegawa !
