    Granted Macross is a big part of what Yamato does but they make other toys and products that Kawamori has absolutely no say in at all. Personally, I think the perceived opinion that "Kawamori would be upset" plays much less of a role in the whole thing than money does. Edit: I guess what really gets me is that there are plenty of lesser and obsure IPs that get the toy treatment (see a lot of the Chogokin stuff you see out there) but Macross II gets nothing except a model kit that was released many years ago. It can all seem so arbitrary sometimes...

    Then it wouldn't be Macross and I wouldn't have anything to do with it unless it had some really kickass airplanes with arms...but then IT WOULD BE MACROSS! The Chinese did this and it was pretty much a knock-off of Macross. I thought it looked horrible. Edit: See Astroplan. It's an abortion of a show and the toys are equally as horrendous

    Yeah, after reading all the conjecture here I still don't buy it that there's any serious ill will between Kawamori and Macross II. In the end, if Macross II made money, we'll be seeing toys.

    Nah, they exist to make money. I guess that is the ultimate question whether or not a VF-2SS gets made.

    Sorry, I don't read up on relations between creators and such. Did Kawamori get into some kind of hissy fit slap fight with the guy who designed the VF-2 or something? What am I missing?
  6. xrentonx
    Those are the Enterbay releases, right?
  7. xrentonx
    Nuh-uh! You are!

    Did Kawamori outright say "I don't approve of Macross II" though? If so, where and when? SDF-1 appears in Macross II too, if I recall. I'm not sure I understand your last sentence. Edit: I see your new edit but still don't understand it clearly. Anyway, it sounds like speculation. We don't really know either way what the creators of Macross "want".

    I dunno about it being political reasons though. Like I said earlier, it's not like Yamato ONLY does Macross designs by Kawamori. The 1/3000 Macross wasn't designed by Kawamori. The Destroids weren't designed by Kawamori. I don't think there is any reason why they couldn't get the rights to Macross II like they do to all of the other licenses they make toys for.

    So they ended up coloring the crotch pieces after all? Don't we all feel dumb for worrying about this a few weeks back? edit: Or was that on the regular Super Pack? My memory's shot...

    Haven't had a chance to watch my copy yet since I picked it up at the post office this morning. I did get a chance to open up and peek at the goodies and feeling the heft of the LE box makes it feel so worth it despite the edits. I don't regret getting this for the extras at all. Still a little pissed about the edits but I'll enjoy what I got and leave it at that.

    Point still stands that they have a bad track record so far on these.

    It's gonna totally be streamed into your brain and will look like some augmented reality shi*t that will continuously play in your periphery while you do other stuff. Macross ALL THE TIME...even while you sleep and poop...and people will STILL COMPLAIN about the blurry bits.

    It's a good thing the new Batman has a cloth suit then. That's what I fear about rubber suits...

    Basara can go soak his head. I just want more Ozma! You hear that, Macross dudes? Make it happen, ya bastards < > (ninja edit: these smilies suck and have no character)

    DX VF-25G

    xrentonx replied to zulu's topic in Toys

    Oy...I can't believe I missed the HLJ preorder. I shoulda paid attention to the page scanner when it went off instead of Youtube. I guess my backup order with Nippon Yasan I made weeks ago will be my main order unless I can make it happen with HLJ later (if anyone cancels their preorder). Win some, lose some, I guess. Nippon Yasan, it's time to impress me! I don't give this chance to a lot of places outside of HLJ

    How's the rubber suit holding up on Deunan and Bri? I really want that Deunan...I hope HT does a version 2.0 so I don't have to go hunting on eBay
  18. xrentonx
    Sideshow but they put him on waitlist now. Luckily I paid in full when he was released a couple weeks ago.
  19. xrentonx
    Now that's what I'm talkin' about! So much nicer than garish Basara schemes
  20. xrentonx
    Damn! Those head lasers would look so much cooler in gray like that animation cell above. That settles it, I gotta customize mine when I get around to buying this thing.
  21. xrentonx
    I just put in the request to ship my Cav and DYRL Focker. Can't wait!
  22. xrentonx
    Awhile back I promised myself I would not buy a Hot Toy. Months later I find myself with a preordered Commissioner Gordon and most of the new Batman cast and Joker 2.0. Commish Gordon is gonna easily be the most handsome fella of the bunch.

    Too lazy to dig mine out from under my stack of Macross books but I think I remember seeing it in there...
  24. xrentonx
    You're talking about the furries...I am dry heaving as I type this . I like Foster's and PPG though!
  25. xrentonx
    This a million times. Since there are discrepancies in the "canon" animation (I use that term loosely because it's stupid most of the time), just make it look good, "canon" be damned...and by "look good" I mean "look good to the only person that matters...ME."
