This is something that's been in the planning stages for a long time. I'm not sure if it's actually confirmed for production or not. Anyway, I don't have any details, but my best guess would be don't expect articulation, or at very best only extremely limited articulation. While Yamato do make a lot of Character figures for other animes, most of them are little more than fixed pose statues, so expect a similar sort of deal. I think if it gets made, it will probably be something like the standing Banpresto Miria, which is shown in my Q-Rau review, but with hopefully a better sculpt. Graham

Theres a mission where you have to defend a Red Cross Hospital Ship from air attack. The only pilot you can choose for this mission is Ruth. I'm just wondering has anybody managed to complete this mission with the hospital ship still intact at the end? While I can get through the mission, every time I play the hospital ship is destroyed by the end. I shoot down the 3 'named' enemy aces, plus several of the unnamed enemy cannon fodder planes, but there are just too many enemy planes and I run out of missiles before I can destroy them all.

I would be 85% positive it's not, unless that chick gained about 5lbs in her face first. Vostok 7 85%, heck I'm 99.99% positive that's not the same girl. Graham

Ya know, I reckon that's a bloke in a wig! Graham

Heck yeah, I remember when they used to do that..........like 25 years ago I say bring them back. Graham

The March 2004 issue of ARMS magazine had a much nicer looking Kusanagi IMO. Graham

LOL.....Minkey-N Minkey, Minkey, where are you? Graham

I wouldn't like to run into her in a dark alley.....shudder! Graham

RDF Space Navy!!!!!!!!!?????????? Graham

Quite like the design of the basic armor. Sorta reminds me of the Hard Suits in Bubble Gum Crisis. That the figures come with what I presume are flying surf boards is enough to put me off though. Some of the accessories, like the bike look nice, others not so nice. Graham

Now that is very interesting. Unfortunately, even with encoding set to Japanese (Shift-JIS), my office PC won't display the Japanese characters, which is unusual. I guess it's that the Big West site is almost entirely in Macromedia Flash which is causing problems. Flash should be banned IMO as it makes my antique office PC crash half the time. Anyway, the only thing I can make out is pehaps the size 189mm x 127mm and a number 150. Damn, even Babel Fish refuses to translate it..........Grrrrrr Hang on a minute, that size is way too small to be a book! If you click on the 'Go To Information' link, it takes you to this page. Based on the other products on that site, I'm guessing that this is not a book, but a series of cards or digital prints, which cost ¥150 yen each and you print them out or download them from some sort of digital vending machine. So, I guess this is going to be another Japan only sorta deal Graham

I'm pretty sure that Hasegawa is guessing about a lot of the detail on the VF-0S. Actually, not just with the spinner, but also with some of the panel lines and number and positions of rivets. So far Kawamori has hardly issued any lineart. I mean, there's like 2-3 pics only of the VF-0S in fighter mode and they are not really very detailed. Likewise, the CG pics on the Big West and Bandai Visual sites don't really show a great amount of detail. I'm guessing that Hasegawa has just had to study anime screen grabs as best as they can to come up with their own interpretation of the VF-0S, which is probably not 100% accurate to how Kawamori's final detailed line art will be eventually.

Ok, so we've got the "Paris Act" custom, but what I really want to know is when do we get to see the "Paris Hilton" custom? Sorry, couldn't resist. Graham

Gamlin. Graham

Great job WJ. The VA-3M is one of my favorite Macross mecha. Graham

I'll get them added later today. Graham OK, they are now added to the MW Custom Toy Gallery. Graham

Can't wait to see this when it's finished. Graham

This is sorta off topic as this forum is for discussing Macross games. Graham

My most espensive single Macross toy purchase has been US$900 for a Bandai 1/55 VE-1. Graham

I'll get them added later today. Graham

Just added Jung's Minmay Guard custom as well. Graham

Excellent work. Graham

Outstanding work Jung. It's going up on the custom gallery right now. Graham

Just added Kurt's 1/48 VF-1A Enigma custom and also a couple of Solscud007's Joke Machine customs. I also moved some of the pics from page-1 of the 1/48 gallery to page-2, to make page-1 a bit shorter. Graham

Somebody else suggested that earlier in this thread and I've thought about it, but I'm not going to do it for the moment, as it would take a lot of time to change it that way and I just don't have that much free time. Maybe one day when I'm really bored and have absolutely nothing else to do I'll get round to it . Anyway, other pages on MW are organised the same way as the custom toy gallery, especially the magazine pages. Graham
