2008???!!! Gahh!!!!!! That's 8 monthes and 8 days!!! WTF!!!

Nah, they would've had a prototype. Plus the projected release date is 2008.

Maybe 1/9. 1/12 would still be about 6"-7" figure.

No way. That would make Stick 6' in those huge boots. He'd be like 5'8" out of armor. There's no way he's as short as my dad. I still think it's 1/10

Yamato has shown that if you put out a well designed, better version of the same mecha, buyers will pay the extra cost of shipping. Hopefully, these and the CM Legioss/Tread will come out really decent and we can all give Toynami and they're crappy Robotech Masterpiece series the bird.

The largest of the old Gakken Mospeada Ride Armors were 1/10 scale. The Imai models were 1/12 scale, I'd imagine the Toynami versions are too. 1/12 scale is plenty big.

Hey Rob, How you been bro? Nice to see you're still around.

I think Kara's the fifth. Three of those four were always suspect for me. There better be some action after this, but that was a hell of a spoiler.

Great googly moogly, Starbuck's a cylon. I had a feeling. Wow.

Giggady, giggady... faints... gets up. I'll take it with all it's flaws and love it like only a parent can. Him and all his many colored twins. FINALLY!!! TOYNAMI!!! IN YO FACE!!! IN YO FACE!!!

Is this going to delay the release of the Shin type? Honestly, my wallet could use a break after the 19.

They're called Personal Massagers.

Wow, two pages of discussion and still nobody knows (or has even bothered to figure out) what a ground troop looks like. Okay, I thought about your question some more. Destroids are essentially big robotic tanks. In the U.S. military, the tank pilots/drivers/troops wear pretty much the same basic uniform as any other ground troop. Olive pants, shirt, and jacket. Even their dress uniform is the same as any other infantry troop, except some of the patches. In combat uniform, the helmet and accessories that go along with being a tank pilot/driver/troop are the only thing that really varies from any other type of troop. This is the Tomahawk pilot from episode 29 (Lonely Song). Imagine him without the helmet or harness (or more likely, with a slightly different helmet.) That's probably what a ground troop looks like. I'm sure ground troops existed. If they didn't make it aboard the Macross, eventually they, like the rest of humanity, were reduced to dust by the Zentradi, so I nobody really gives a crap about them, because obviously, they were useless. Now aboard the Macross, I don't think they kept a whole lot of basic infantry, (yes, I'm sure there were some) because they're fairly useless against the Zentradi. Like I said before, we're like the size of a squirrel to them. I don't think I'd be bothered by a squirrel, no matter how big a bazooka he's carrying. So most of the ones aboard the Macross that were just infantry, and not trained for more skilled positions (Destroids, MP, intelligence, etc...) were probably asked to either train for those more skilled jobs, or be assimliated into the police force to deal with the sudden civilian population aboard.

Weird

jenius is holding on to what little hope he still has for it to be the Rock Lords.

If the wings were angled down like the model, it should make it not look like it has a "broken back"

I don't recall any ground troops that didn't use destroids. The Zentradi were way to big for hand to hand combat.

Wow, that battroid is a fugly piece of mecha. It's like a VF-9 Cutlass with some kind of eating disorder. I hope it can be displayed with the "flap, flap" wings out.

I hope you guys are kidding.

I sense a great disturbance in the Force. It's as though thousands of spray paint can caps were just mutilated at the same time. Great fix Takatoys. Works perfect.

Yamato is releasing a new line of transformable wallets. You put money in it, and with a few clicks and bends it turns magically into... an empty wallet.

Maybe they're remaking/mass producing the SHE GETTER ROBO

Smaller boxes on reissues would be awesome. And a Max w/o FP reissue would be cool too. I need one but definitely don't need the extra cost of FPs. SV-51 sounds like a huge toy. HUGE

I got one Banpresto. Great little toy, but posing it out of the box is kinda like Jenga, one wrong move and... I'll probably end up getting just one of these, just to have one in that scale, but I'm gonna stick with the big boy toys as far as collecting.
