    Awesome find! That cover art is gorgeous.

    Whoever chose the color for the cards was likely familiar with the Dom; the purple seems an unlikely coincidence. Is that what Crisis Point calls the "Engineer Bioroid?"
  3. tekering
    The "Late Period" Type I Bioroid is an officially-published Ammonite design... The image posted earlier is a Robotech RPG derivative... ...and the purple coloring is most likely fan-done.

    I was wondering why the image @Podtastic posted was "grape-flavored..."
  5. tekering
    Yeah, that's right. Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead you... ...but that's just a custom I made myself.
  6. tekering
    I have the opposite problem.

    I couldn't agree more. I couldn't find a decent background image online, so I drew my own from scratch: I wonder where I can get it printed as a poster? If you've got kids in your house, things have already gotten out of hand! That's how ALL Transformers should be packaged.

    Black red, silver... bring 'em on! The Diaclone homages are my favorite Transformers.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback, guys. You're singing my wife's favorite song. Like I told her, only the B:TAS Joker is going in the anime room; all the live-action stuff gets displayed elsewhere. Despite what she says, I'm not completely reckless and irresponsible. I knew this stuff was coming, and I was somewhat prepared for it... The anime room may be full, but I'd already made space in the Star Wars room. Wow, that's remarkable. Looks like a 1:6 figure!

    Perfect! Bring on the decals.

    I received my biggest shipment ever from BBTS yesterday... so much stuff that I needed to make a YouTube video to account for it all.

    Macross figures

    Doubtful. That's a kitbashed Marvel Legends figure standing in for Claudia, isn't it?
  13. tekering
    Found it here. I do, yes... and I don't, yes. However, the only Southern Cross laserdisc listing I've found is this one... and the seller obviously can't tell an LD from a vinyl record.
  14. tekering
    Is it worth $98 extra to get it 8-10 weeks earlier? I'm not judging, I'm just wondering how much patience plays a factor... ...or if FromJapan even gave you the choice.
  15. tekering
    Ah, excellent point. Foolish me, I've ignored the elephant in the room for so long that I scarcely even notice it... Gotta keep things out of the public eye!
  16. tekering
    Nah, that just proved demand was not high enough to begin with. Like Cap' says, we'll need several thousand dollars in capital -- up front -- for such a commission. Perhaps we should start a Kickstarter campaign...
  17. tekering
    Start saving now! Southern Cross merchandise is a notoriously difficult sell, so -- if there's even a chance of it happening -- I'm sure it'll take a lot of advance capital to secure such a commission. A mere "commitment to buy" won't be enough; we're gonna need to pool our resources on this one.

    Nor do any of the various 3D models we've seen attempted since... I think our only hope is @captain america, who has clearly generated increased demand for a Spartas to scale with his upcoming 1:48 Bio-Lloyd kit. Since his Southern Cross work has been commissioned by a particularly dedicated fan, that's who will likely need convincing. I've already started work on episode 8, which focuses on the captured green Bioroid.

    As we're starting to veer dangerously off-topic, I've moved this discussion to the appropriate thread.

    Since finding an original 1984 broadcast of Southern Cross, I've taken the time to try and correct the color-timing on the ADV box set release from 2003: ADV's masters on the left, my color-corrected version on the right. It's still a soft, low-contrast transfer from two decades ago, but at least the colors aren't so messed up this time. I did my best to reproduce them using the superior DVD video source. If there's demand, I can upload further episodes. Standard-definition DVDs are either NTSC or PAL, certainly; however, both Japan and North America use NTSC. Naturally, your results may vary, based on the specific configuration of your monitor.

    Especially if you're displaying her next to the Premium Finish VF-4A, which really makes the ol' 4G look like a toy by comparison.
  22. tekering
    Given the premise, it couldn't possibly be any better than Michael Dougherty's King of the Monsters, much less Gareth Edwards' Godzilla... Just keep your expectations low, and I'm sure you'll appreciate it for what it is.
  23. tekering
    "Please consider it?" Japanese is a poor language to begin with, but Google is particularly bad at translating it. It's more like "I'm afraid the weathering wasn't possible. Thank you for your understanding." Machine translation may yet become a reality, but for now it's still a pipe dream...
  24. tekering
    My conclusions exactly. As much as I'm enjoying these comparisons, it's starting to feel like a fool's errand... We'll surely revisit this issue when we debate what color the Spartas Hovertanks are supposed to be.
  25. tekering
    Sure... assuming Bowie was supposed to be a black guy with blue eyes. I'd say the Southern Cross DVDs have the least-accurate colors.
