    A reconstruction era story would make a cool OVA IMO. Graham

    Given that we previously heard that Delta is only set a few years after Frontier (I forget how many), it's not surprising that the airframe and basic transformation of the hero VF will likely be similar to Frontier-era / Macross 30 era VFs. Anyway, from what we can see of the design, it's pushing all the right buttons for me so far. I just hope it's a military VF, in a conflict / war based story. I really don't want see a Macross anime about racing VFs, basketball playing VFs or sky surfing VFs.....yuk! Graham

    Ha, this is gonna end up like that white-gold or blue-black dress meme from earlier this year. Anyway, I'm calling dark blue with yellow trim (ala YF-21) on the Draken-esq VF. Graham

    I'm wondering if the Draken VF is blue not red. Looking at the nosecone, it looks more like dark blue to me. Graham

    Well, spotted, I didn't notice that, was too fixated on the VFs...........haha

    Heavy Saab Draken influence in that fighter at the back, along with a color scheme somewhat reminiscent of Nora's SV-51. The blue and white VF definitely looks like the love child of a YF-30 and VF-19. And yeah, I agree that is almost certainly a YF-30 type weapons pod between the legs. Is it just me or do the lower legs of the white and blue VF seem to have a bit of Meltrandi Q-Rau styling? Note no NUNS or SMS markings on either craft! Maybe the marking on the tail of the blue and white VF represents Another PMC group, or possibly an independent colony? Hope this is not an anime about VF racing........urghhhhh! As much as I enjoyed looking at the pretty pictures in the 'Macross The Ride', books I personally have zero interest in seeing an anime about VF racing. Graham

    Heh, October 29th is my birthday! They remembered........LOL The craft at the back looks like some sort of Ghost to me also. Liking what little we can make out of the VF in the foreground.

    6 and 7 for me, as: I'm not in a good financial situation at the moment, so can't really afford expensive Valks. The upcoming VF-2SS actually excites me much more, as it's the first time we've had that VF as a variable toy, so saving my pennies for that instead. Plus I like the VF-2SS design more than the VF-0S. I was not impressed that much with the Arcadia YF-19 due to the loose ankles and wings and lack of tampo printing, panel lines and detailing. Graham

    I hope nobody thinks that Kawamori actually designs these toys, he doesn't. All he does is give some input on what things should be changed at various stages of the design, to fit his vision of what the toy should be like. Back in the Yamato days here's what would typically happen: Yamato would contact Kawamori to make an appointment to see him. Typically they may need to wait a few weeks to a month to get an appointment as Kawamori is a busy guy. Once the appointment is set then they would take the toy to show him. Typically, this would be done three times throughout the design phase, first with the CAD drawings and/or resin sculpt, second time with the engineering sample of the toy, third time, with the a final or near final version of the test shot incorporating any changes suggested earlier. Typically, each time Kawamori would look at the toy and suggest that a part needed to be longer/taller/thicker etc, or an angle changed, the color different etc. It's not like Kawamori is on the CAD program himself making changes to the design.

    I'm restricting myself to the 6" black series figures as well. I really don't know what Hasbro is thinking with the 5 point articulation.......urghhhh. I hope someone makes a decent toy of the new X-wing though. And I want the white version with blue stripes far more than Poe Dameron's version. Graham

    As long as they don't copy the Bandai model kit SAP design, as the back part was too thick and chunky and sat too high in Fighter and Gerwalk modes.
  13. Graham
    It's great. After I received my first one, I immediately bought a second, as I liked it so much.
  14. Graham
    Arghhh......just show us the bloody Valks already!

    Just scored this at a local shop here in Hong Kong (They got it from ComiCon). Actually, I got two, one for me, one for my son Includes a nice booklet with details about the different generations of trooper armour. Graham

    I actually think the VF-19P in roy colours looks better than the YF-19 in Roy colours. Graham
  17. Graham
    I can see them, just as they are pics of a Trannie, I have no interest to see them.........Mwahahaha
  18. Graham
    frakk No! We get this and other crummy sequels instead of Dredd 2 :angry: :angry:

    That would be an insta-buy if Arcadia made it. Somebody should tweet that pic to Mr. K. 20 years ago, I had the old Bandai 1/100 VF-19S/F model kit painted in a very similar Focker color scheme. Graham

    Those comments are great.

    Old news, 'Thunderbirds Are Go' has been out for several months already. Great show , despite the lack of any violence and guns The new show is also very respectful of the original series and quite a lot of hommages included to other Gerry Anderson shows as well. Graham
  22. Graham
    V3 needs wing hardpoints as well and better pilot sculpts. Graham
  23. Graham
    Either Arcadia are trying to cheap out and cut costs. Or they really don't have enough money to afford the Tampo printing
  24. Graham
    Cough, cough, this thread needs more shapeways

    i've got absolutely nothing against having a racially or internationally diverse cast, as long as the casting stays true to the written source material as far as practical. My myself, I prefer to have movie adaptations of comics or books be as faithful to the source material as possible. So if a comic or book character is black, have him or her portayed by a black actor, if he or she is Chinese, have him/her potrayed by a Chinese actor, if he/she's white have them have them portrayed by a white actor etc. Just my two cents.
