I think you hit it on the head, O Master Sniper. I'll bet that, after Robert Woodhead's jawdropping announcement a few months back (which was, IYEAPN, the catalyst to my going R2 to get DYRL) HG's lawyers went all out to try to discern if they could get the license themselves. If we're lucky these hideous Super Posables are just HG's attempt at a Sunwards in reverse. Which announcement was this???? Robert has stated many times during the last few years that DYRL would probably never see a US release due to all the complications involving who really has the rights to DYRL. Oh, ok, I thought you meant there was some new announcement.

That's the one!

Macross Fan Association 100% Pure Macross - Accept No Subsitutes

I dunno, I think this calls for a re-assembling of the MFA. Who has the logo these days?

In another forum, this might be missed by alot of people. This is the biggest news we've had in quite some time.

This is too big of a story to just stick in the Toys forum.

Considering Harmony Gold doesn't hold the rights to the rest of the Macross franchise, that would be rather difficult.

Me too. I wasn't used to seeing activity in this thread, that is why I looked.

I disagree. This is something that is import to all Macross fans outside of Japan. This deserves alot of attention. If anything, it belongs in the Toys forum, because these are Macross DYRL? toys.

I think its quite clear that they are trying to push the issue.

The VF-1S is the Strike variant.

If they can do this, there won't be anything to stop them releasing DYRL? as a Robotech movie.

The quality of the bootleg DVDs is said to be rather suspect.

Super-Poseable Figures Series #1 In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the classic 1984 anime motion picture "MACROSS: Do You Remember Love?" Harmony Gold and Toynami are proud to announce the release of this first special edition series of Super-Poseable figures featuring designs of the VF-1 Super Valkyrie Battroids seen in the movie. The "MACROSS: Do You Remember Love?" Series #1 includes three different Super-Poseable Figures, each with Super/Strike Armor "fast pack" attachments. Each figure has over 15 points of articulation that allow for a full range of awesome poses. This set gets you ALL 3 of the following: - VF-1S Roy Focker's "Skull Leader" Strike Battroid Valkyrie - VF-1A Hikaru Ichijo's Super Battroid Valkyrie - VF-1A Hayao Kakizaki's Super Battroid Valkyrie All featuring the exclusive Skull Squadron colors as seen in the film.

What does Graham have to say about this? He has contacts with Yamato.

Aside from the fact that George doesn't want to? Probably some score issues and such (for branching anyways) but I think that's pretty minor if the previous issue didn't apply. Doesn't bother me, either way. I know... I know. PPl will buy this version regardless.... and they will release the unaltered version eventually. Of course they will, becuase George knows he can make more money this way. If he released the Classic Trilogy before the Special Editions, everyone would buy the Classics, and sales for the Special Editions would be poor. This way, he knows sales of both will be strong.

FOR ME TO POOP ON! Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Mines up.

Just in tme for my birthday! Of course, I'll have to buy the complete set in a few years, but I've waited long enough.

None, zip, zero, nada.

Actually, Episode III will be released in May, not April of 2005. As to your question, no, I won't be going. AFAIK, this is on topic, by the way.

Nice to see they are sticking with the user interface that alot of us Front Mission fans are used to. If its not broken...

You know he tagged that ass!

I jhave a real woman, thanks. I think I'll keep her.
