  1. And in July, they will release a 'Silver Spar Squadron' repaint. I like this one as it has kill markings under the cockpit. Graham
  2. I guess Joyride have been listening to fan complaints that their first Viper toy was too dark, as they are releasing a whiter 'Blue Squadron' Viper in May. Graham
  3. Wow, she looks about 35 in that photo. Graham
  4. Them be child bearing hips! Graham
  5. The head/Body of ED-209 always reminded me of an electric razor. Graham
  6. I watched 4 episodes of the original series on DVD over the weekend. Gotta say the stripes on the Vipers definitely look more orange than red on my TV. Wow, that filming model actually looks suprisingly badly painted. The little Konami trading figure actually looks much better IMO . Graham
  7. I've loved Sledge Hammer since when it first originally aired on TV in the 80s. I already own the season 1 DVD set, so I'm ordering season 2 right away. Graham
  8. The news is also on the Macross Compendium. Here's what Egan has to say: - 1/72 SV-51γ w/ Twin Boosters "Macross Zero" Plastic injection model Buildable as Ivanov Type or Nora Type Lift fan hatch and cockpit buildable as opened or closed Includes 2 overwing booster units; pilot; weapons, including gun pod, composite pods, anti-ship missiles, and two additional missiles; auxillary tanks; decals for Ivanov Type or Nora Type Compatible with Macross Stand Length: approximately 319 mm Macross series 65776 Hasegawa 2005 May, end of (scheduled) Y3200 Y3360 (tax included) Yes, this version appeared in episode # 5 of Macross Zero. It will be a very big kit. I've got the standard SV-51 and it is a big bird. I'm guessing a booster equipped VF-0A/S from episoode # 5 won't be that far behind from Hasegawa Graham
  9. Check the YF-21 Gerwalk lineart and you can clear see the shutters on the underside of the two main engines. These shutters open to direct thrust dowards for hovering. The Macross Compendium has the following to say: - "Two banks of pivoting underfuselage slits acting as main nozzles for VTOL hovering in GERWALK mode". Graham
  10. As there's been a few threads recently complaining about the slow order processing/delivery time with HLJ, I decided to try an experiment. When the Tenjin book was first announced several weeks ago, I placed a preorder at the same time with both HLJ and amazon.co.jp. The preorders were placed just minutes apart. It will be interesting to see what the time difference is between the arrival of the books from the two companies. Graham
  11. I have that, but it's not for sale. Graham
  12. Nah, the devil gets beaten too easily in most movies. Graham
  13. But in the movie Demolition Man, the character of Simon Phoenix used a S&W model 3913LS 'Ladysmith' 9mm, a pistol marketed for use by women for self-defence. So just for carrying a woman's gun he's way down on my list of bad guys . S&W 'Ladysmith' 9mm. Graham
  14. For those that ordered from HLJ, I expect you'll receive you books.......oh in about 5 weeks or so Tee Hee Graham
  15. Cough....'toys'...cough......This is McFarlane you are talking about. Don't you mean: - "expect new breakage-prone, poorly articulated statues". Graham
  16. Stay on target. And behave, don't make me have to get out my spanking paddle. Graham
  17. Graham

    Stampeed Valkyrie

    I think one member did have plans to do this. I forget who it was though, but nothing has been heard in a long, long time, so the project is probably dead. You can try doing a search, although I suspect that it is so long ago that it might be on the old forums. Graham
  18. Just received an email notice from amazon.co.jp that my book has shipped, so I should receive it in about 2 days. Graham
  19. Who is the big ass chick in Spandex and why is she flying around in the beginning like a US Superhero? Made me think of Phoenix from the X-Men. I'm sorry, but the dialog and voice acting is cringe-worthy. Yes, I know it's just a cartoon and a ram-it-down-your-throat propaganda announcement to boot, but nobody and I mean nobody actually talks like that. Nice to see a Legioss though however breifly. That really looks nothing like Stick. Graham
  20. I far prefer the Destiny designs to the UC OYW mecha. Give me Impulse any day rather than a RX-78. Graham
  21. Bandai wouldn't be Bandai if they didn't release at least one new RX-78 toy or model each week I've never understood why so many people like the RX-78 though. Nostalgia be damned, it's one of the ugliest, most boring mecha designs ever IMO. I hate it with a passion. Graham
  22. Yep, that pic is of a very old sculpt. The sculpt has actually gone through some revsions since then (head laser angle changed, hip sockets redesigned smaller). The revised sculpt was displayed by Yamato at a few hobby shows in Japan around the middle of last year. If you search, you should be able to find the threads with the pics of the revised sculpt. However, for 6 months now there has been no new news or photos of this toy in any of the Japanese Hobby magazines. Also, Yamato has stopped displaying the sculpt at the last few hobby shows, which has lead many of us to suspect that they have decided to drop it from their production schedule. Graham
  23. One thing that the Joyride Viper got wrong is the center windscreen of the canopy. As shown in this pic, it should taper downwards to get narrower at the bottom, but on the Joyride toy, the center windscreen has nearly no taper. The Konami Viper's canopy is much more accurate in this regard. Also, the Konami viper has the red strip on the bottom of the Viper that is missing from the Joyride version. Graham
  24. In the recent BSG console game, is the young Adama character based on the likeness of a young Lorne Greene or a young Edward James Olmos? Or do you never get to see the face of the game Adama? Graham
  25. Why does Spawn in the design pic above have one big boot and one small boot? Has he got a club foot or something? Looks mighty odd IMO. Graham
