Based on that photo on the previous page it looks like the nose is curved up a little bit. Looks like Yamato is ironing out the details. That should help fighter mode for all of you fans out there.
-
The experten one was over-engineered retardation. Even still that VF-4 transformation is funky and even the Yamato one looks like a streamlined, but still complex, version.
-
Man, those pics of the VF-4 look pretty complex.
-
I'm sure they can paint it, but like the wing/giant skull on the 25S, is it going to wind up rubbing of if you bend that hinge too far?

Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
Mommar replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thank you for finding the link/quote that validates my comment about it being a web mini. -
I believe the Fast Packs are being released separately in the Fall. I highly doubt they would come with the D. As far as the legs go, I personally didn't have any problems transforming the thing back from Battroid to Fighter but I also tend to be very meticulous when transforming my toys.

It's already speculated this will only be an online-mini at this point. -

What's wrong with the Zep cover? -
I should double check when I get home but I'm pretty sure the stripe on my Milia is blue...
-
You obviously haven't seen Kickers collection in one of the other threads then.
-
One thing I noticed on my Milia which I hadn't considered before. If you bend the knee too deeply in Gerwalk you can also scrape the white paint off at the knees. I found a few spots missing on her legs. luckily my Max has not suffered the same fate.
-
There's a code? There is one caveat to that though, I like to display my Valks in each of the various forms. So that means for any one release that's three you need for F/G/B modes. it gets even more complicated if they've got Fast Packs/armor/etc... The VF1's are easy, there's so many variants you just by one of each and you're bound to have every possible combination. When there's the potential that only Alto's 171 will be made now people have to decide how many they want in order to display it in the various modes... plus there's the EX Armor yet to released as well.
-
And yet their toys aren't made in the same quantity and don't generally sell as well. So starring in a video game didn't do anything for them. Or being at the helm of a capital ship. In addition, Max twice defeated the best pilot in the fleet, got her to fall in love with him and they were the first inter-species couple to marry and have a kid, which was put on display to freak out their enemies. The story may have been about other people but they were more then just supporting.
-
I don't know how I'm just seeing this now but your paint scheme using the modern Thunderbirds is almost exactly like the design I was thinking about using to customize one of my Yammies.
-
You answered your own question. They don't translate the transformation as well. And the attempt to do that, and do it well, led to a toy that was almost as much as the 1/60 which was already available and contained more gimmicks without all of the extra part swapping.
-
That's one of the weird things between our two countries, and especially a bummer because the show cannot be exported to other countries. The tastes of the Japanese are what's catered to and for whatever reason they never latched on to Max like Americans did. Unfortunately that means our favorites aren't necessarily represented because we don't matter.
-
It's not nerd rage. There are plenty of plausible ways to introduce her, but the whole cloaked dark figure taking an action-hero pose with two zombies chained to her just looked stupid and out of place and did not feel like it was natural at all to the rest of the show. It felt like they purposely jammed a comic book frame in there... which is what they did.
-
That's a cop-out argument. No other person/human in the show so far has come off like they were super-human or otherworldly. The introduction of Michonne with the zombies on chains does not keep in context with the rest of the show tonally or visually up to this point. Based on the first two seasons she's out of context... and that's a problem.

Prometheus - on Blu-Ray and DVD Oct. 9, 2012
Mommar replied to Pizza the Hutt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Shatner was the director for V so that was never going to happen. Even still, he may not have said it quite right, but it was a good line and I feel that movie gets panned more then it should. Considering the movie takes place in the same universe and involves the Jockey's who carried the Alien's in the first film it would seem impossible to not have them be a part of it in some capacity. -
I've never read the comic either, though I'm relatively familiar with the path it has taken versus the show because I looked it up out of curiosity. I was interested in the show because I thought it would make an interesting story. It is ripe with commentary on society and human condition. It looks like the writers either lost their minds or have been steered too far towards appeasing whiny comic book fans because the inclusion of sword girl with zombie pets was completely off tonally from the show. Deviations from source material as long as they make sense within the context of the work I have no problem with, but last night they obviously were just jumping from point A to point B with no thought to how it would affect anything. The semi-lamenting of Shane's loss I'm less concerned about, because it was more about the groups shining leader Rick falling from grace in their eyes then it was losing Shane as a member. Though they're pushing Rick into wild-eyed, Shane-like, territory way too quick now.

Prometheus - on Blu-Ray and DVD Oct. 9, 2012
Mommar replied to Pizza the Hutt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Based on the simple fact Ridley hates the Predator franchise and thinks there should have been zero cross-over I think all speculation based on anyhting that happened in a Predator movie should cease. They were fun what-if comic books and video games but that's it. There's no cannon and no fitting into the Alien films proper at all. -
Yeah, they tried to make her exactly like in the comics and it came off as too silly/otherworldly/comic book-ish to be a good idea at all. This whole episode seemed rushed/forced to me.
-
It's been previously opened. Supposedly it was in a display case and still has the original packaging and all of the extras but we'll see. It may be a floppy mess for all I know.
-
I'm a Max fan as well. Since seeing that pic Old Man posted, and also since I like posing these things in Battroid, I went digging around online and actually found a Max 1J for sale for $50. We'll see what kind of shape it's in when it gets here.
-
I must have missed that when I was digging through the thread. Thanks.
