Surprised nobody has posted about this yet. The new April issues of Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan Magazine, feature CAD lineart of Yamato's upcoming 1/24 scale (33cm tall) Patlabor Ingram #1 toy. Could this be the ultimate Ingram that surpasses even CM's worthy effort? Wait and see. Graham

T-minus 1 hour until landing. Graham

I find it interesting that in chapter 2 of the manga, the term 'PMF' (Private Military Farm), is used to describe SMS's base. Graham

Damn it, there you go giving me ideas! Graham

Right, errr..................OK then. I'm not even gonna ask how you are so familiar with Barbie's knees. Graham

Tomorrow will be a good day, oh yes it will. Graham

And if she's a captain in SMS, why is she dressed as a school girl? Silly question, I guess in manga/anime you CAN be a school girl and a captain. Graham

Will resume scanning of chaper 1 tomorrow. Graham

Here's scans of the Macross Fronter sections from the new April 2008 issues of Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan Magazine. No new Frontier toy news this month, but there are a couple of good pictures showing the Macross 25 city ship (Island 1?), that give us a better idea of the size of the city. It's definitely bigger than City 7, by several orders of magnitude. Two lengths are mentioned in one of the articles, 6km and 15km. Perhaps this is the width and length of the city ship? Anyone care to translate the articles? Graham

Please bear in mind that what is being shown is basically just non-articulated statues printed out on a rapid prototyping machine from the anime CAD files. They where just quickly made so Bandai had something to show. They are not at all representative of what Bandai's finished product will be. Graham

It's all about money my friend. You think Yamato and Hasegawa don't want to make toys and models for Frontier? Of course they do! But Bandai is the major sponsor for Frontier, which means they paid several million bucks in sponsorship, which means they get the exclusive toy and model licensing rights for at least a couple of years.

Nope, that'll be series two. Guess again. Graham
