custom voltron action figures. http://www.toymania.com/customcorner/cc25/voltron.shtml

I'm gonna skip the durandal for a good collection of these...

I feel bad for the other forums you go to, which I'm gonna assume is backgammoncentral.com, RPS: The Rock/Paper/scissor online collective and Robotech.com...

Don't forget the Koenig Monster... And the Alto figure. The only real screw up was the DX VF-25.

4. Landing gears + more landing gears. So you can land while you land!

No those are different engineers.

Bandai in house engineers at first and now they are using the same contracted engineers that Yamato does.

hmmm... not impressed

Of course I'm messing with 1:1.

Give it up 1:1 LVL. We don't want your anti landing gear talk here. Real men use rubbers.

LOL. you mean like Orguss? So they had to switch it to Mospeada. I wonder what the next cartoon in line was? Gall Force?

Frex or Flex did the YF-29 and the VF-27. So I'm pretty sure that they did the VF-25 redesign.

+1 x infinity

LOL!

I'm not telling anyone to hate it, in fact, I said it right there, its still cool. But to me it looks like they just added features and zig zags to the paint scheme just so they can say they updated it. The VF-1S wasn't messed with so much. Hell they didn't even mess with the fan racer.

not a big fan of the redesign (though I don't mind it, still very cool) but that looks like an interesting article. Thanks for the post.

What's the die cast content on this toy?

Movie wasn't the greatest. Designs were awesome though, they even improved on the rocket design from the comic book. Met Dave Stevens about 15 years ago thru a friend. Great guy and a perfectionist. Too much of a perfectionist that he couldn't do more of the books. But each panel of the Rocketeer comic book was as good as the cover. I wish the movie was more of a hit for him. I want a reboot! lol. No seriously I do. More like the comic book, where they use Betty Page as Cliff's girlfriend and not a watered down goody goody version. But it was a disney film... even though Roger Rabbit was a lot more risque... Soundtrack was awesome! And yes Jennifer Connelly was at the top of her hotness.

Wow. Great pictures. I think those valks and the monster are what we were expecting when Bandai announced their intentions to get into the fray. Quite a stumble with those first versions... now they know not to let gundam designers handle macross products... lol.

Jesse! The weathering on the raptor is masterful! One of the best I've seen on these boards. I was reading a hobby book a while back at a store and I saw this model by Moscato which reminded me of the project on MW. Was the one in the book this exact same model?

We'll just add this guy to the list of people that don't agree with you. So in your world the bigger sacrilege would be to remaster a classic to HD standard as oppose to pulling these people that worked on the original productions out of their graves, magically revive them and force them to restore said productions. Lol.

Trolls usually care more about the point of arguing and to prove they are right rather than open their mind to something that they can enjoy or even add to their enjoyment of something they already saw. Case in point... Aliens remastered Bluray I was so afraid of what I was going to see. Is it going to be too clear and devoid of all the film grain like Predator? There's a scene that I always like to use as an example. The scene where Ripley first faces off with the Alien Queen in her incubation chamber. The shots of the Queen were a lot clearer than the shots of Ripley. Obviously they used different filmstock and shot at different speeds when shooting a miniature set. But the fact that they remastered each shot exactly the way they were filmed showed me that someone really cared about keeping the films original integrity. I never noticed this difference in my VHS or DVD copy because of the resolution but I'm pretty confident that that's the way it would have looked in a theatre with a really good projector back in '86. So it's not like it's impossible for DYRL to be done right and yeah it's possible for it to go the Predator way and be done the wrong way. But unless it's Harmony Gold, which is a company that's always out to make a quick buck as cheap as possible, I don't see why Big West would hire someone to trash a treasure to them like DYRL is. Just for kicks I dug up a bluray review of the Cinderella remaster on Amazon... since that's where the bar is set... lol. Now how can you deny remastering with a review like that? I don't people want to think I'm a Cinderella fanatic. But I've seen it on DVD and when I saw my niece watching the bluray one day I was blown away at how great it looked. So I looked into the process they took to restore it and it seems like it's just that... restored. I was totally convinced that they re-animated some parts with CG but I was glad to see that none of it was lucas-fied SE style... I'm actually more curious to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang since that's more of a childhood favorite. But if I had to choose one of those Disney princess movies... I'd pick Tangled, a fully CG animated movie over any hand drawn classic of theirs.

I DVR'd it and its as expected. Bad animation, silly story. The thing I noticed was that they stole the robot moves of the fake Coran from Batman TAS when Gordon was replaced by an android, but that was taken from Black Magic 66 so the third generation bite didn't look too good.

That's awesome. I love hand drawn animation. How about links to a couple of current feature length hand drawn animation as good as DYRL or the remastered Cinderella to make your point complete? Thanks ahead of time! Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that it's possible to remaster pre- high definition animation to bluray standards. I wasn't out to make this an CG v. non CG animation.
