Hobbysearch are a bunch of thieves. They screwed me over on a Q-rau. Sent to the wrong address and returned. They wouldn't send it to me, they wouldn't refund me, they wouldn't even answer my emails.

I figure that the blow-off the arms and legs feature is something that would be incorporated into the production model, for if those parts received too much damage and wound up being a hindrance for transformation back to fighter mode (or being too much drag). I always saw it as the delimiter mode as deactivating the safeties in the YF-21 that prevented it from going at speeds dangerous to the health of the pilot, and not in blowing off the arms and legs.

I will get a VF-1A DYRL Max. I don't care for the 1S head. Blasphemy I know.

The Froghurt is cursed, because we need more VF-1 in this thread.

Yep! That's the scan! Interesting transformation process, isn't it?

Yes, the music is Miku, Rin, and Ren. The sound effects are all also Miku, Rin, and Ren (the blond twins). This was pure awesome to me. Okusenman song sung by Miku (Rockman 2, Dr. Wily stage 1 theme) Miku Okusenman

Anyone notice the Koenig Monster in the opening? The unidentified fighter silhouette at the end that passes the VF-25 makes me think of a combination of the YF-21/VF-22 and the SV-51. The opening music is still "meh" for me.

There are some out in the Dengeki Hobby magazine. If it were in Hobby Japan, I think Graham would have scanned and posted them, so they're definitely in Dengeki Hobby.

I told myself I'd just get one or two clonetroopers. That evolved into four or five, then ten. Now I have a small unit of them, composed mostly of different color schemes. I don't have a picture, but they're all posed on a shelf on my desk, all surrounding a MR Commander Gree mini-helmet. Kind of ironic, but I don't have a Commander Gree figure. I couldn't find the old release, and I can't find the new version, go figure.

A little late in answering, but EFX is made up of a bunch of ex-Master Replicas employees. Amy from Customer Service, several guys that worked on the Star Wars line, and Larbel I believe. There was an announcement about it in the Rebelscum forums a while back.

Apparently principal photography finished yesterday. Now for the long long wait for May 2009...

I believe it's Dengeki Hobby May issue, that has pics of the YF-21 transformation. It shows how they did the shoulders/arms in fighter mode, and all that good stuff. But, I'm a cheapass and didn't pick up the magazine. Sorry guys, but at least now you know there's pics out. (I think if was Dengeki Hobby, either that or it was Hobby Japan). The pics made me want the YF-21 even more!

Hot diggity damn, that is fricken awesome to the max!

Nice! Awesome idea.

Ick, I'll stick with my CMs corporation Minmay figures until something good comes out.

Gunslinger Girl and Gunsmith Cats. Two movies that will never be made with the original characters and story held intact. Higurashi no naku koroni is getting a live action, but all the girls are older and none of them have the same hair style as their characters are supposed to have (I'm not counting hair color, since green would be weird). Oh yeah, cute kid. Nice to get them started liking guns young. Even better to teach them they're not toys also.

Due to being on an extras database, I was called to be in this movie, but I couldn't go in on the dates they wanted me for. Since I was never a GI Joe fan, it's no big deal for me to have missed out. It was under a codename when I was called, but I didn't know it was GI Joe until I did some searching for that codename online. I was actually kind of relieved it was GI Joe, because from the little bit they told me, I originally thought it might be for a new Matrix movie or something in that vein.

In the episode "Court Martial" non-Enterprise starfleet personnel wear the delta insignia. I knew I saw that in at least one episode!

I'm pretty certain there is a little more details to the uniforms that we can't see due to the quality and distance of the pics. So far I've counted: men and women's versions of the red uniform (some with caps), dark grey uniforms with something on the upper left chest (some with caps), men and women's versions of light grey uniforms with some kind of belt (all with hats), and a few dark green uniforms with Navy-ish hats. So that's about 6 different types of uniforms (that's counting the skirt versions). The green guys seem to be wearing boots, and possibly have belts. I could swear that I saw in some TOS episodes other non-Enterprise Starfleet personnel with the delta. I mean, we saw other ships personnel had different patches in various episodes, but I could swear I saw some with the delta...

I'd be fine if they just changed the spelling to "Makross". Still sounds the same. I want to see those Q-raus in action!

Thanks for the vid kreshpy. I know what you mean azrael. That song isn't doing anything for me. I'm rather unimpressed with it. It might be one of those ones that grows on me though. Like you said, I'll have to see the opening to get a better feel for it.

"They ate Athena's Steel Saints, and there was much rejoicing." "Yaaaaay." Esmerelda and Guilty looked pretty good. Yeah, Athena's face and hair could use some work. It seemed like they did a half-assed job on her to me.

The Japanese equivalent of Rodriguez and Tarantino's Grindhouse. Totally awesome. I was laughing my ass off before the trailer finished.

Well, I wouldn't have looked at the pictures had I known what was being said in the link to them. Language barrier was the reason I burned my eyes out. The Minmay doll was done partnered with Obitsu right? From what I understand of the doll world, Obitsu is sub-par when it comes to dolls. Volks is one of the kings of that industry.

Yes, the Steel Saints can go ahead and disappear. I loved how in the tv series, they get on the plane, but they never get off the plane in Greece and are never heard from again. I like to think that Athena and the Bronze Saints, killed them and dumped their bodies off the plane before arriving in Greece.
