    I can't wait to have my 17 and 171 side-by-side in the different modes. I think the contrast will show the strengths of both fighters.
  2. Mommar
    Yeah, in terms of head sculpt the 171 does look more accurate. The designs are different enough between the animations that one looking meaner than the other is more based on the design. I will say that Yamato's D head doesn't look as animation accurate as the 171 head though.

    I don't really see how this is fair considering while the basic design/transformation is the same one is a relatively slim fighter with all internal ordinance that transforms into a completely unrealistic chunky battroid, versus one that was always designed to be super slim in fighter mode and Battroid. You may like the design of the second better but how does that make Bandai's effort superior? The 17 and 171 are similar but not identical.
  4. Mommar
    It's so much more clean, without all the silly extra bits and bobs hanging off of it everywhere.
  5. Mommar
    The paint color.

    The 171 is slimmer all around in both fighter and Battroid. Yamato had to pull an impossible miracle and make a slim fighter but chunky Battroid. The fact Frontier has relatively accurate proportions because the 3D models don't really change much makes getting the toy right a lot easier then the hyper unrealistic dimensions in the hand drawn shows.
  7. Mommar
    That is correct. Head shape and wing detail are the only differences... unless it turns out Yamato has found some engineering thing they'd like to tweak/tinker with.

    In this last episode they showed the zombie skulls are relatively weak. It didn't take much effort of Rick or Shane to jam a knife right through the top of their skulls. Being that I'm trained in hand to hand I think I'd prefer a short sword, a pair of bolos or some form or Escrima Sticks. That being said, firearms and crossbows are both useful as back up/crowd control as well.

    That's really cool looking. Too bad Yamato won't make us a transforming version of one of these. Yeah, it's an air race. Not NASCAR at all... and that's not necessarily "redneck" either.

    After seeing the animation in the Pachinko machine I think I'd enjoy watching the show redone in that fashion.

    I just noticed what your avatar is... that's kinda hot. I used to be a DJ, I need to find a woman to wear my pair of cans on hers.
  12. Mommar
    I can't vouch for their manufacturing processes, but as far as the design of this toy is concerned I believe Bandai used the same group Yamato did for their 17 so this thing should at least be engineered at a similar level to the 17.

    I must just be weird. Except for the VF-1 Fast Packs I'm really not a fan of all of the extra clutter attached to these other valks. The Vf-11 and on I prefer to leave without all of the extra armor/packs/whatever. To be fair, the new guy in charge of the group making the Macross Toys seems to care a lot more about how these things look.
  14. Mommar
    To me it appears the armor opens as well.

    Are there any updates on this mod?

    Irish are Caucasian. If you said "Damn Whites!" you'd be recist. Saying "Damn Irish" is prejudice... but not racist. Also, he didn't say "Damn Japanese" or "Damn Asians" he said the Japanese are to blame and then followed up saying Tatsunoko are to blame.
  17. Mommar
    You quoted him responding about Tatsunoko not caring. Also, Japanese is a nationality not a race. He'd have to be blaming Asians for not caring in order for it to be racist.
  18. Mommar
    Considering he corrected himself after the fact and used Tatsunoko I think the word is careless.
  19. Mommar
    No he's not, he's pointing out that they don't care and that's the biggest problem.
  20. Mommar
    If you look at the other photo of the 171 from straight on you can see that despite far less Anime magic the wings still extend a little ways past the butt of the Valk.
  21. Mommar
    ^Wow, that's all lit by the LED's???

    I think a lot of Robotech fans do secretly want to incorporate all of Macross into Robotech for two very important reasons. 1) Kawamori's designs are distinctive and people don't want to let them go. I personally come here and check out Macross stuff purely for his designs. I'm not terribly interested/thrilled in the stories/characters at all. 2) Macross actually has new products being released. If the original was stolen when we had nothing, why not keep nicking pieces of the same work because HG still isn't providing anything. I'm not sure either of these things are indicative of a group of people who actually want to keep "stealing" things as much as it is a sort of perverse wishful thinking for some visual and story consistency like what Macross has.
  23. Mommar
    I'm pretty sure it's less about not realizing it's a double punch and more that since Macross cannot be broadcast outside of Japan they don't have to or want to care about any type of merchandizing outside of their little market. They're not like Yamato where they need all of their product to sell even outside the borders. They can always fall back on Gundam for that.
  24. Mommar
    DAMN! That's $90 more then I paid!
  25. Mommar
    So I wonder if Bandai is frightened to release anything that isn't Alto/Ozma related and that's why we're seeing an Alto colored 171 or if even seeing a 171 means Bandai is willing to pull the trigger on the lesser popular valks/characters and we'll be seeing a Michael and Luca 25 sometime soon.
