    for those of you that don't know your bruce lee well enough.... figma's yelling face is this...after he kills someone after stomping on them with both feet and twisting. it recalls this expression perfectly. bandai attemps something vaguely like this also the calm faces ...figma went with resting. bandai went with when bruce is making the noises. i prefer a "normal" bruce....lastly....but that one is really a tie. but.... DAMN those joints be UGLY on the bandai. figma's has more believable musculature and less obnoxious seams.

    meh i think the figma one is better than the figuarts from early pictures...the figuarts one just looks angrier and the hair is wrong. joints are also way more obvious. sh figuarts Cap murders figma cap though

    i think we are all also giving this "small" toy company a little too much "slack" though....this is not a new company. thye've BEEN making toys. most are midrange toys and some are pretty worthwhile. i do think this is their most complex toy to date from a design standpoint.... in today's toy market you have no name brand new small companies from china able to transforming toys that rival (and some say surpass) takara tomy's masterpiece lines. i'm SURE with enough comittment to the project evolution toys...and experienced (somewhat) toy maker should not have THAT much difficulty putting together a good product...that being said i am wishing them good luck as it'd be nice to have mac 2 toys. i threw my hat into the ring...hlj preorder done.

    wow why did they omit Daedalus and Prometheus? weird move

    honestly i don' tthink the VF-11's ankles etc could take more weight. it barely holds poses as it is (unless i did osmething wrong all those years back)

    i would love if the YF-30 became the VF-30 cannon fodder valk and we get an all new hero valk...something completely different. all the frontier designs feel derivative not only n transformation but stylistically (not including the reused vf-17 to vf-171 update). i do agree that a good story is necessary. frontier kinda felt like SDFM light redux but not nearly as good. i want to see a slightly more grown up series sort of in the same vane as say....BSG with more serious themes etc. but also keep it feeling very macross. remember the tweens and teens that saw frontier are now late teens and early 20 somethings.

    skulls and kites have always been tampo'd so i assume they willl again. that being said, perhaps arcadia "learned" the wrong lesson from the 30th anniversary tenjin 1j fiasco. its not that we don't like tampo and that tampo doesn't "selll" its that that scheme was just ugly (all due respect to the designer and artist). maybe they will learn from the mainstream folks preferring the vf-19 advance from bandai to the arcadia yf-19.....granted i think that example has just a touch too many (and not well thought out mind you) tampo....i think that and the extras (booster packs) and the pricepoint makes it a decisive win with most fans (though i far prefer the sculpt of the arcadia...my only gripe is the panel lines are TOO fine) and i'm sure sales show as such. let's hope arcadia retunrs to a proper level of tampo (the latter yamato days). so far in my book...yamato>bandai>arcadia when it comes to my preference for the amount that is tampo'd.

    nope that is a hasbro asia sanctioned release of "takara" product. in fact anything that comes with the coin...dead give away that it is a hasbro asia thing that takara lets them do. takara dont' do the coins at all. in fact there has been no japanese domestic market release of a masterpiece skywarp in the mp-11 mold.

    the colors may look cool but its not and ozma/roy character. i bet NY overestimated the demand.
  11. Mechapilot77
    its just gorgeous. coming from somoene who owns the previous version (and i think its decent), this is a nice sight to see.

    TT version looks way better. let me count the ways. 1. Correct toon blue coloring (hasbro's was neither toy nor toon). 2. no widening stripes (consistent thickness 3. silver on the feet (which is correct per toon) 4. no dumb tattoos 5. silver all the way to the bottom of the shoulder pauldrons (intakes) which even many customs get wrong (the ones i comissioned 2 years ago included) 6. cockpit color consistent and correct (orangey vs. yellow/green) 7. no grey daisy dukes i passed on skywarp due to hasbro asia pricing (ridiculous btw) and the fact that i had a custom SW. it'll be tough to pass on thudercracker if the retailer markups aren't too bad. that being said i wonder when TT proper will release SW if ever. I also wonder if another seeker mold is in the works (i would not doubt it...as mp-11 is based on mp-3...by now an old toy with many shortcomings but an awesome alt mode).

    see i got a problem with this "IF THE VF-2SS SELLS ENOUGH (and thats a big IF)... -The SAP has already been designed. There are slots in the current prototype for the SAP if you look closely enough. -IF it ever gets released it will probably not be as a stand alone product." why not sell the SAP both in bundles AND separately. Separately would be to reward those that helped guarantee the continuation of the line. a bundles would draw new people in. bundle ONLY Seems like a big FU to the early adopters. however, if you are going to make the thing compatible (see slots) and then NOT release stand alone and then say you likely won't release a stand alone....who is going to buy the original release? they need their PR and marketing people on this. this strategy is horrid and not going to earn them any fans. after see pictures of the protos i was going to preorder...then i read this in this thread...on the border AGAIN.

    So has anyone here actually seen the anime? these have always been cool mecha but i don't like spending money on stuff i don't have that much attachment to. 1/24 toys of Patlabor, Megazone, Votoms would be cool. inter universe play is nice.
  15. Mechapilot77
    dang....i want..but who should i put it on? on Roy's 0S is cannon but its a shame to cover up roy's battroid with that i think. maybe put it on shin's? i don't think i'm going to buy a Shin AND an unknown soldier guy unless he reallly is brownish vs. greyish.
  16. Mechapilot77
    wait, the light up suit one, can' t remove the helmet? any pics of either/both?
  17. Mechapilot77
    so no visible sap attachment points....is it possible they will use.....magnets with some clips maybe? this is evolution toys right?
  18. Mechapilot77
    nice. its good to see you post macross stuff again! (i see ur tf stuff all the time)
  19. Mechapilot77
    AE told me my hulk was in.
  20. Mechapilot77
    there are so many good toys out there in this price range coming this year. part of me wants to support a mac 2 product, but this looks well....still kinda amateurish. on the other hand if people don't support it, we will never see more mac 2 stuff or other mac stuff from people other than bandai or arcadia. hmmmm
  21. Mechapilot77
    looks almost like the yamato cavaliers

    Hi-Metal R

    Mechapilot77 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    it likely won't (but might still) pop up again until just before or just after release date is my guess....aside from random ones popping up due to cancellations etc.
  23. Mechapilot77
    ummm, am i the only one that thinks the live action kinda looks friggen awesome in the trailer!? no i don't want a hollywood remake!
  24. Mechapilot77
    missed it. oops...guessing it'll come around again.
  25. Mechapilot77
    i think that can only mean one thing....they are going to issue a weapons/accessory set in the future.
