EXO

Lol, she was probably the ony one who knew the song. Wish I'd been there... Actually, Jwinges was there, so there was TWO people that knew the song...

So did they get permission form BW to alter it to RT back in the 80's?

Nice one G. man... looks like I gotta get a glass case...

Folly to who? Interpretations have always been acceptable even if you look at the books themselves. It just goes with what type of Dana they are trying to get across. If you look at the linearts there are always ways to change the design, they even gave Millia's valkyrie with a slight figures to show of some sort of sexiness or allure. Like it or not they have the licence to the SC property and this goes more along the line of what BGC2040 did to the property that was the original BGC. I for one prefer the original designs, but I'll call it what it is, a nitpick. Post what you will of what you think Dana in her armor look like, Drew, there's always going to be someone that will be disappointed with your work. Just because they're getting paid for it and we're not, it doesn't mean they don't tread the same line of wrong and right, it just means there more prone to public scrutiny.

I'm not gonna defend HG, but in the case of the artists that do the comic book, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. If they were to use the line art they would be crucified for being unoriginal Mikimoto (or whoever designed the SC characters) wanna-bes but if they were to put their own spin on it then then they're "messing" with it. My preference would be if they stuck with the lineart, but in this particular case I'd say that there was certain improvements on a character who was bland to begin with.

That image of Dana is hardly porn and they didn't stray away from the original that much. Most of the complaints here are merely nitpicks or putting the art in question under the microscope so that they could complain about RT produced material (except Js, he's just anal about his weapons and guns).

I'm gonna need a reference please.

leave it to A1 to derail a thread... Man that's cool. I wish I would have been there and then after she sang with her beautiful voice I would have loved to go up to her boyfriend and give him a good swift kick in the balls.

SNOT? MUCUS? Is there a style that has BOOGER as an acronym? Nice job.

Ah, you just like having guys around that haven't fallen for the "rub my pectoral muscles and I'll buy you a Yamato" scheme that you've been using for years. I just can't figure out why >EXO< keeps falling for it, though. Seriously - I'm with A1, the n00bs are, for the most part, good folks. And to be back on topic... this thread amounts to yet another request by those who care about this site to try and help keep it current. I know it's an old subject - but it really is something that would be cool to address eventually. Yesh! I ren00bed for the pecs! Actually, when A1 said pecs I thought he said Chex. I mean it's not just a mix... it's a Party Mix!

New Max page on Yamato's site says that it's slated for June release, 10,290Y? (correct me of I'm wrong) ... Still no figure... At 10,290Y that's not much of a price cut as previously stated. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=322 http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/photos.php?gid=322

Too be fair, IIRC, HG hasn't used unofficial Macross art to package Macross products. The DVDs and the toys both have the plain black box with the logo. We'll soon find out if they'll change this on the DYRL SPs (and the upcoming MPCs... )

just wanted to bump this... a lot of recast talk lately...

Eh... this would get flamed in the Movie/TV section for being an RT thread...

Carl (hey I got it right) as far as we know, Toynami is waiting for the response on the Alpha/Legioss to decide whether the Tread/Beta is warranted for construction. Of course this could be a ploy to boost sales. But that's their stand on it so far.

Who's William? I'm Carl. And no... none of the "w" in "wwwmwww" are short for William either. For those of you that are wondering it's short for Wiki Waki Wahoo Meets Weed Wacker Woman. The story behind that is a rather long one and this isn't probably the best place for it. And no... none of them are built. At some point in time I'll likely make a recast of each to build. At $500+ each these originals are worth too much to build. Carl Hahaha, that's exactly how I made the mistake. My apologies. And I'm just teasing you about them being built. I would probably do the same in your case. Good luck. And make sure to show some pics of the built kits.

Yup, I agree with Greenguy. That new look totally changes her from that annoying girl from RT. And the armor looks better also.

hmmm... maybe we should leave it there then... maybe it'll work better than the N00b Away spray I've been using.

Actually this makes the 3rd thread I've posted that picture in. It was taken for this thread: Mmm Good..., That's Macross, Mospeada, and Megazone And I posted it for the second time on page 16 of this thread: YAHOO AUCTIONS - JAPAN, Interesting Items - Put them here After seeing this thread I just couldn't help myself and had to post it again. Carl 3 times William? And none of them built? C'mon man, we're not box collectors... Well some people here are...

Stay thine hand from thy panic button. Ack! *gets off the desk and stops jumping on the panic button...* I wonder what it does anyway... *gets back on the desk and starts jumping on the panic button again...*

No HG wouldn't dub DYRL... that would cost money... they're here to make a buck, not spend it. All their merchandise are wildly overpriced, if they dubbed DYRL it would end up to be 89.99 a disk during pre-order, then they'll push the release date one year passed the original promised date, just in time for the 21st year anniversary...

I meant the name and number. It still amounts to the same thing... the green sticker doesn't give it a special meaning. ADD: But hey if I'm wrong what do I care... it's just another 1:48 for me...

just like in the 1/60s?

Man I can't believe the M&Ms are out and still no word for the next 1:48 release... Is that it for this line??? *pushes panic button*

That's sad, That was the next one I was planning on buying. Sold out as far as Yamato is concerned... It's most likely still available somewhere..
