How about some rear visibilty so the pilots can check their 6. Why is it that most sci-fi fighters have no rear visibilty? Graham

Just picked up the new March 2005 issues of Hobby Japan magazine & Dengeki Hobby magazine. Unfortunately, there's no new pics of the Yamato 1/100 VF-0S. In fact, neither magazine has anything about Macross at all, zip, zilch, nada. IIRC, this is the third month in a row now that there has been no updates on the Yamato 1/100 VF-0S, which leads me to suspect that Yamato might have quietly decided to drop it. I'm guessing that one of two things may have happened: - 1) The prototype scrulpt was so badly received based on the older pics in the hobby mags and as seen at trade shows, that based on negative market feedback Yamato figured it just would not sell well enough and it was not worth the expense of starting from scratch to make an all new sculpt. 2) Yamato has taken so long developing this toy, that their licencse with Big West to produce Macross Zero toys may have already expired! I'm reasonably certain that Big West toy licenses last for 2 years. And the 1/100 VF-0S toy has been in development for 2 years already, so it is conceivable that the license could have already expired and Yamato figures it is just not worth renewing it. Let's hope I'm wrong and the toy is still going to be released some day. Graham

Yep, please post all TF stuff in the pinned topic at the top of the page. Graham

I have some of the Great Mechanics books and they are good, but too small and the main focus is Gundam. I really want an A4 size (or larger) 'This is Animation' style Macross Zero book to be able to fully appreciate Kawamori's line art. Oh well, perhaps a Macross Zero book will be released a few years later. And nice to see you posting again Seichi. I thought you had disappeared . Graham

You mean a pic of the figure or a pic of me rubbing her butt? Graham

Pics anybody? Graham

I'd rate it as a good, fun action-comedy-sci fi movie. Woth seeing for Milla in her white bandage costume. I've been meaning to pick up the DVD for a while now, just haven't got round to it yet. Graham

I like the second two pics, but the first one doesn't really look much like her. Graham

The kneeling pose gashapon figure I have of Lunamaria (with removeable skirt) has her wearing dark blue panties (unfortunately not removeable ) Graham

But if just one DVD gets copied, then the terrorists win. Can we afford to let that happen? Doesn't god also kill a kitten each time a DVD gets copied as well? Graham

I wanna see those pics. Graham

If you mean Lunamaria Hawke who pilots the red Zaku Warrior, she looks nothing like Frey IMO, she's much more cute and should not die, at least not before giving us some significant panty or shower scene fan service . Graham (Lunamaria's No.1 fan)

Yep, that's a good price. Graham

Yep, I noticed that when I saw it at the cinema, which is one of the main reasons why I purchased the DVD. Gotta love that pause and slow-mo function Graham My favorite part of that scene has to be watching it with the commentary on so she proudly proclaims "TWAT SHOT!" LOL.....I'll have to watch that part with the commentary on. I usually never bother with commentaries, find them too boring. Graham

OK, apparently there was a 1967 Hanna-Barbera FF cartoon, which was quite faithful to the comics and featured pretty good art for that time. This did feature all 4 FF members. Then there was a 1978 FF cartoon, which featured lousy art and replaced the Human Torch with a Robot called Herbie. I've read some stories that say there were concerns about children setting fire to themselves, which lead to the Human Touch being replaced by Herbie. Other stories say that it was beacuse the Human Tourch rights were held be another company for use in a possible live-action movie or TV series at that time, so he could not be used in the 1978 cartoon.

How about a VF-1A head, with two extra lasers stuck on the side. We could give it our own official designation an all......oh no wait, Toynami already did that . I say somebody does a 3D scan of Shawn's head so that Capt America could do a realistic sculpt of Shawn and we use that as the official MW 1/48 head. Shawn, what do you think buddy? Graham

I want to know where's Herbie, or whatever the silly robot in the cartoon was called? Graham

Heh, brings to mind images of Doom strapped to some table in a UFO after being abducted by aliens, screaming "No...........not the anal probe!" . Graham

Heh, I don't think I've read any Marvel titles for 22 years ! Graham

OK, I've just renamed this topic to more accurately reflect the thread contents. As the new title implies, please keep discussions on Bandai Gundam plastic model kits to this thread. Graham

I don't think we want to go that route, but you can easily create your own Gundam thread to discuss whatever specific area of the Gundam franchise interests you, e.g. start an 'official Gundam Zeta' thread or 'UC Gundam' thread or 'sissy, skirt wearing Zeong' thread if you want to discuss those specific topics. We alread have an an official 'Gundam Sentinel' thread, for discussing all things Sentinel related. Anyway, back to discussing Destiny. Graham

Here's the direct link. It's not in this thread. It's in another thread on page 2 of the toy forums. Graham

While the AnimEigo Macross DVDs may now be out of print, it's not really accurate to call them unavailable, as they are still pretty easy to buy online from a variety of places. Graham

Ouch! Graham
