For character figures, I'd wish for Megahouse to produce them. I love their figures: great quality, great QC. I'm with Graham in not having faith with Bandai in Macross. Though I wouldn't be against being surprised at being proved wrong.

What TheLoneWolf said. It's frustrating trying to find sellers and shops willing to ship outside of Japan. Amazon Japan and their unwillingness to sell games, and figures really irks me. CDs, DVDs, and books are great and all, but ARGH!

I'd say from the way her name is spelled on the door of her bedroom, versus stage posters and stuff. I can't remember which instances it was spelled Minmei and which were Minmay.

I still have some crash test dummy toys from when I was a kid. If the limbs do come off, I might try gutting the inside of the YF-21 if it has the vent things, and making the legs fit better internally. Then again, I'm lazy, so that might is a "probably not". I hope the limbs don't break off easier due to the any removeable limb feature.

I pronounce it: "Mack-ross" in one smooth word. For fun I sometimes yell out: "ma-ku-ross-u" with an almost silent "u" at the end, imitating what I hear in the anime.

Interesting development. Very interesting indeed.

Well, a great many of us at Macross World account for the non-sanctioned outside of Japan sales. The rest, are in Japan. Though I'm curious to know how the numbers are of Japan sales versus exports.

Thanks. It also helps that she likes Miria and Max. She's not a big Macross fan, but she does like that couple. Finds them hilarious.

Oh it's Miria kind of chibified. My wife drew her for me to use as an avatar.

The "Braindead" variable fighter with pope hat: SV-51 "I kick @ss for the lord!" The 19 is really nice. Really really nice. I have mine parked on my desk in fighter mode right now, right in front of my monitor, so I can look down at it whenever I want. And a pleasant sight it is indeed.

I figured it was naturally green, but didn't rule out completely the possibility that maybe some zentraedi dye their hair possibly as some kind of mark of distinguishment. well eugimon, I don't see many thin gals around with huge tracts of land. Now Paris on the other hand, lots of thin women, some quite well endowed. But, none that can pull off the anti-grav effect, and not many that were really attractive. Then again, I'm a picky man. I have to wonder though, how many more Mirias are out there. It's a pleasant thought.

Do you want canon color schemes or repaint non-canon color schemes? If you want pure awesomeness, wait and see if Yamato does the Dobber scheme for the SV-51. I'm not a big fan of the SV-51, but if they do Dobber's scheme, I'm getting one. The YF-19 is awesome. They might do some other schemes, but no confirmation or certainty yet.

A poseable Macross figure. I'd buy it and put it in some wild pose, like leaping through the air doing a wild kick or something.

Okay, wait let me rephrase that. "I have yet to see a real woman pull off Mai Shiranui or Tifa Lockheart's gravity defying boobs while keeping those slim figures, while having a nice face." The ones I have seen had rather plain homely faces. Now the question. Does Miria (okay Millia, Milia, you guys happy?) have naturally green hair?

Well if you go with the movie version of M+, which was the original intended story, Guld outmaneuvers and speeds past the missiles to chase the X-9 at the cost of destroying his body.

It's a piece of crap. I have a set of FP-less ones. I really regret it. Do yourself a favor and go hunt down a joke machine.

I have yet to see a real woman pull off Mai Shiranui or Tifa Lockheart's gravity defying boobs while keeping those slim figures.

Heheh, beaver tail. I still can't get over that sleek fighter mode. I drool whenever I see it.

Komiria Maria Jenius. When she grows older, she's hot. As are all the Jenius daughters. Well... I can't say for Miranda. Miracle, Muse, and Therese look like they'll be hot when they become teenagers. We've already seen the awesomeness that is Emilia.

nice catch eugimon! I can live with the feet being stored that way. For a fighter mode that awesome, it's forgiveable.

Despite the voice and feminine appearance, I thought Gunther was actually a man. Especially with that muscular unwomanly chest.

Very well explained, nice post JBO.

I prefer the valkyries and their transformations that allow them to go from fighter to battroid, than gundams that curl into fetal positions and/or fold up under a gainormous shield. And if you get into shell-formers, the YF-21/VF-22 is king. Or is that queen?

Wow, I'm unimpressed with this mangaka. Thanks for the scan Graham!

Aw crap I did a typo, it should be "Ranka Rii", I put "Ranki". Curses! Nice Macross Frontier section Graham!
