Here's my choice for set # 3: - 1) From Macross 7, I'd like to see a Gamlin figure for posing next to my Bandai VF-17 toy. 2) Shin from Macross Zero, in flight suit with removeable helmet. 3) Miria in DYRL Q-Rau flight suit. 4 & 5) Macross Plus really needs some love, so I vote for Isamu and Guld figures. And the chase figure should be: - DYRL 'shower scene' Minmay Graham

The SoCs are all great toys, but my personal favorite is the standard color Combattler V, as that was my childhood favorite Super Robot anime back in the late 1970s. I used to own the Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Grendizer, Hover Pilder & Getter Robo SOCs, but sold them all due to lack of space. The only one I kept was the Combattler V. I've never liked the black 'Gucci' versions. Graham

And well it deserves it. A fantastic peice of work IMO. Graham

Planning on getting 3 each of the VF-0S and the Stand. Please bear in mind that the VF-0s toy in those photos is not the final product and hopefully the fugly hip joints will be reduced in size as Yamato promised. Graham

Unlike most of those role models you mention, I actually hit what I'm shooting at (well most of the time anyway). Once my kid is old enough, he's definitely getting some practical martial art training to toughen him up and I plan to teach him to shoot as well. And definitely no namby pampy toons either. Barny, Teletubbies etc will be banned from my house Graham

Sorry, I just cannot take the name 'Wanzer' seriously. Sounds too much like a certain other word with the 'z' being replaced with a 'k' I'm guessing it's supposed to mean Walking Panzer. Although, Walking Tank would also work Graham

Got 63%. Graham

That is nice. I'd also love to see a Lego SDF-1 someday. Graham

One would hope so. Graham

Yep, there are a lot of differences between the SHE & Yamato YF-19, they are far from the same beast: - Yamato has landing gear, SHE does not. Yamato's gunpod can attach in fighter mode, SHE's cannot. The rear of the lower leg of the SHE has a complicated 'Origami' type folding design. The Yamato does not have this. The SHE has a correctly sculpted canopy shape, The canopy on the Yamoto is the wrong shape and features a rounded lower edge, instead of the correct straight lines and angles. The Yamato has that annoying triangular shape gap in fighter mode where the nose hinges, the SHE does not. Due to dispensing with the folding lower leg mechanism, the shoulders on the Yamato sit far too high in fighter mode, making it less sleek than the SHE. Graham

I really want this set, but I refuse to pay more than the cost of a 1/48 for a set of PVC figures. Crazy prices. Graham

No, they weren't 'ripped'. Yamato paid Takashima-san of SHE to provide techical assistance with the design. Graham

My nickname for the Providence Gundam is 'Statue of Liberty' Gundam, as it looks like it's got the top of the Statue of Liberty's head strapped to it's back Graham

Actually, that's only true of the VF-1's GU-11 gunpod and maybe a few others. The gunpods of the VF-11, YF/VF-19, VF-17 and possibly others can be reloaded in the field with spare magazines carried on the VF. The Macross Compendium also mentions that the VF-0 can carry spare gunpod magazines in the leg FAST packs. Graham

Ah, I didn't realise it's supposed to be a VF-1B. I'll change the title next time I do an update. Graham

Damn, that's expensive. I remember when the first set came out, the whole box + secret figure was about HK$850. Graham

Translucent neon weapons.....Noooooooooooo! Graham

Personally, I have little interest in a pre-SDF story about the Supervision army, for the simple reason that it would not feature any VFs and IMO Macross is not Macross without VFs. Get rid of the singing and love triangle and I'd still consider it Macross, but lose the VFs and I'm outta here. I'd still like to see more of VFs fighting the bugs from Macross M3. I'm a sucka for mecha vs bugs Graham

I'll be happy to be the designated Macrossworld Transformer kicker. Just send me your Transformers and I'll make sure they get a good kicking. I'll even break out my steel toecap boots for the occasion Oh, that's not what you meant? Graham

That's true, we already know from the opening fight in DYRL that the VF-1's radar is capable of tracking and locking onto multiple targets. Graham

It`s not that bad, why ? does he look like Shin Kazama from AREA-88 the new series ? No, I just don't think it really looks like Focker. There's only a vague resemblance IMO Graham

Now that's nice. I like how they've got the DYRL style holographic HUD on the canopy, just like in the anime. I wonder if ithat cockpit is to scale with the 1/48 VF-1? Graham

I'd love to see a new Guyver OVA or even better a TV series. It's been too long with no new Guyver anime. Graham

Gotta say I don't like the sculpt of Focker's face. Graham

Silly rabbit Graham
