  1. Battroid. Graham
  2. Slightly bigger scan. Graham
  3. Sebastian, I have mentioned before that the toys will feature some ABS, they are not all PVC. Also, Yamato told me that the leg connnectors are being made smaller (they know they look ugly). Also, the shoulder armor will be elongated as at the moment it is too short. Remember this is not the final sculpt. BTW, I've just updated the magazine section with scans of the new Hobby Japan (6 pages) and the Dengeki Hobby (4 pages). I've also updated the custom gallery section. Check out the update section. Graham
  4. And here's a page from the new April Hobby Japan, with a first look at the Hasegawa SV-51. Graham
  5. Guys, here's the pics of the Yamato 1/100 scale VF-0S 'simple transformation' prototype from the new April 2004 issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine. Gotta say I think the front landing gear is extremely ugly, which is a shame considering it's a detachable peice, so IMO they could have sculpted it much better. Also, IMO the tail fins look a little small and the shape of the wing trailing edge is not exactly correct. Graham
  6. Gundam................what's that? Graham

    Yamato rumors

    All I will say is that you have to take what you hear from sales reps at trade shows with a grain of salt. However, it is true that the M&Ms won't be released without FPs. Not going to comment on the other stuff though Graham
  8. Maybe old news, but I just saw this news from Janes: - AIR FORCES NEWS FOR WEEK ENDING 20 FEBRUARY 2004 US Air Force to buy STOVL variant of fighter The US Air Force (USAF) will buy the short take-off variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and upgrade a portion of its 30-year-old A-10 Thunderbolt II fleet in order to bolster the service's ability to provide support for ground forces, according to senior USAF leaders. [Jane's Defence Weekly - first posted to http://jdw.janes.com - 13 February 2004] Personally I can't see the lame duck F-35 being much good in the close air support roll. I think it would be much better for the USAF to invest in upgrading the existing A-10 fleet or even having new A-10s built, with perhaps improved modern instrumentation and avionics. Graham
  9. Will try to add Jung's custom 1/48 CF and Kurt's custom Enigma to the gallery tonight if I have time. However, I have a magazine update to do as well, which takes priority, so we'll see. Graham
  10. OK, just uploaded the public debut of the Macrossworld Member Custom Toy Gallery. Please check it out and let me know if there are any broken links or other problems. Lots more custom toys to upload, but it's 10.30pm here, I'm knackered and I haven't eaten dinner yet! Oh, also finished my extremely late Yamato 1/60 VE-1 & VT-1 review as well. I've been a busy boy. More updates tomorrow. Graham
  11. I'm not a Gundam fan and I dislike most Gundam TV series. However, I love Victory Gundam. It has a great story, characters, action and music. I also love all the mecha designs, both good guys and bad. I have all the toys, except for the big electronic V-Gundam Beam Rifle. I'm hoping that one day Bandai will release a GFF V2 Assault/Buster toy. Personally I rate Victory Gundam far higher than original MSG or even Zeta. IMO, it's certainly much better than SEED. Graham
  12. Ya mean those squat little ugly round things. Nah, nobody would be interested in seeing those, at least nobody with any taste. Ducks for cover. Graham
  13. PM me if you have a submission and I'll give an email address to send the pics to. I'll make sure to include some submission guidelines when I create the page tonight. Graham
  14. Well, I've just searched through the 8 pages of the Toy forum and found 6 threads with custom toys, so I'll start with those and we'll see how it goes from there. Graham
  15. At the begining, I'm just going to be searching through old posts and saving any pics I find, which I'll then resize as needed. As I mentioned earlier, if anybody wants to help me search, I'd appriciate the help. However, for future submissions, I'd like say a minimum of 6 pics (2 per mode) and a maximum of 12 pics (4 per mode) to keep it manageable. Pics should be no smaller than 600 pixels width and no larger than 1000 pixels width. I'll also need a thumbnail of each pic, with a width of 100 pixels. Graham
  16. Err....what's a JM custom? Graham
  17. OK, I'm going to start on this tonight. I'll handle the page design and uploading to the server. I should have a basic page with at least a couple of customs ready to show tonight. However, if any of you have some free time, what I need are research assistants to help me locate the URLs for the forum threads that feature toy customs. If any of you are willing to help with this to save me a bit of time, can you please post the URL in this thread. Thanks, Graham
  18. Yup, of course I will list the name of each creator. And if any creator objects to their work being featured, I will of course take it down on request. Graham
  19. I'm the toy guy, Shawn's the model guy. I'll let Shawn handle a model page if he wants to do one. Graham
  20. I'm thinking of setting up a page linked to the MW toy page, to feature Macross custom toys by MW members, as we have so many great customs coming out and I feel it would be good to have a permanent record all in one place. The page would basically be divided into the following categories: - 1/48 Customs. 1/55 Customs. 1/60 Customs. Other Macross toy customs. Who thinks this is a good idea? Obviously, I'd have to get Shawn's approval, but I'm sure he'll say yes. Graham

    MW Updates

    The figs at the top of the page, the K&M series 2 (Tomahawk, Armored VF-1J etc) have not been released yet. Should be out either end of this month or early next month. The figs at the bottom of the page, the Bandai HG Mission # 3 gashapons (Glaug, Q-Rau, M&M Gerwalks etc) have already been out for several weeks. I have them sitting on my office monitor. Graham

    MW Updates

    The Q-Rau review is already ready, but I can't show it until the toy is actually released, otherwise the fans in Japan will throw another hissy fit. Graham

  25. Anasazi, do you mind if we use some of these photos on the MW mainpage? HGraham
