    Macross figures

    JetJockey replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    I've never seen Ultraman. I think I always got Ultraman and Spectreman confused. And I kind of remember a bad Ultraman SNES game. But anyway, I just saw they are making an Ultraman girl figure. Why we can't get a Minmay like this is beyond me.

    I thought the PSP version looked really nice. But I heard about stuff getting cut out and watched a bit of some videos and couldn't believe it. I guess they did it because it was a handheld version. But still many companies put RPGs on handhelds. I can't remember my original reason for not getting the Playstation or Saturn versions. They seem to be nice editions. Working Designs always came up with good packaging. But I that battle music is just better in the original.

    Thanks for bumping this topic. I thought B and H were the best designs and I'm glad they made one of them. I hope they make Skull Squadron shirts next. I always wanted one with the logo and Max's number.

    I hope we get a few surprise Eve figures too. It would be nice if they had a version for all three Parts previewed. But I know that's asking for too much.

    I never watched the Gatchaman with that different Phoenix either. Never liked the design when I first saw it and still don't. It's the original or OVA Phoenix for me. The OVA Phoenix is what they should make next since I don't think any company has attempted one yet.

    I've only played the NES Life Force. There are so many versions of these games. I remember Last Gamer recently talking about how he has every version of After Burner and I think Gradius as well. Probably others too. I only tried to get what I thought were the best versions myself. I was looking over my list and recently decided to remove a few games I never picked up like Lunar on PSP. Although it looks good, I think my Sega CD version is probably the best for that game. It's the one I have the most nostalgia for and I prefer the music in that one compared to the others.

    You have the cartridge with the light up eyes? I've never seen that before. And I guess I never played the arcade version as this is the first time I heard different music in the Egyptian stage. I remember some talk here about sealed video game boxes some pages ago. Recently I noticed that Heritage Auctions started putting these up. And they found a ton of sealed games. Here is the article and story on what they found. https://www.watagames.com/learn/blog/post/nes-collection-pedigree/?ctrack=3038085&type=collectorb-1-comic--news--tem013019 I'm still not fond on the whole idea of getting sealed boxes graded. As you are just grading a cardboard box. It's not like a comic where they are grading the whole thing. And games are supposed to be played. Last Gamer mentioned in one of his recent shows how he found some old sealed SNES games and just opened them. But if some Panzer Dragoon Saga copies and other rare Sega CD or Nintendo games show up sealed in this collection, they are going to make a ton of money as they have multiple copies.

    I forgot about that whole not leaving the figure in one pose with these modern figures. Hot Toys usually has that in the instructions as well. Still, I wanted a Lisa and Minmay figure so I could pose either one on the edge of the seat. Yeah but this is actually showing items and not receiving them in the final product. That's different from the look of a product changing slightly.

    Macross figures

    JetJockey replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Every Wonder Festival I hope to see quality Macross figures like they are making these days of characters I don't even know. But I still haven't seen a good Minmay yet.
  10. JetJockey
    I'm looking forward to seeing what shows up at Wonder Festival for Mospeada in a few weeks. I hope some company is working on civilian clothing figures for the team too.
  11. JetJockey
    They need to make a new Life Force like they did with Gradius V.
  12. JetJockey
    Yeah that would be it. Something along the lines of not fulfilling pre-order promises. Pretty rare to see these days. Especially when this company seems to be putting out quality products. Wasn't the figure supposed to be able to fit in the cockpit originally?
  13. JetJockey
    The problem wasn't the actor, it was the director, the people behind the story of BvS and Justice League, plus the plotting of the DC Universe. I hope the new guy is right about the next movie being about Batman as a detective. Because Batman was a really poor detective in BvS.
  14. JetJockey
    I would say bait and switch but I think there is another term for this situation. Perhaps we will get some better poseable figures during Wonder Festival in a few weeks.

    Macross figures

    JetJockey replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    If there is real demand for classic Macross, I wish someone would release some good figures. Perhaps they will finally at Wonder Festival in a few weeks. I have no interest in Delta stuff now. I didn't even finish the series yet. I would get that Mirage bikini figure if they decided to release her. But she was cancelled a while ago.

    I don't know if you guys get stuff from Sideshow Collectibles. But they do have a rewards points program. https://www.sideshowtoy.com/why-sideshow/sideshow-rewards/ Plus, during events like Comic Con and their October and Christmas events, they give out free points towards the rewards program. It used to be a lot with some people getting $50 if not more during one of those events alone. So by the time June 2020 comes around and if he isn't delayed, that $799 price could be lower or the rewards used towards the possible next team member. These big statues are getting more and more expensive though. They are getting more detailed and prices in China are rising. But I remember getting some older statues from Sideshow Collectibles in the $300 range.

    Yeah as much as I want a hovertank, I wanted it to look like this in hover mode. Not like what they are showing so far. I can only hope this is a prototype and not finished. But why would they show this first? They have to know people will compare it to the show. And also that transforming toys are a lot closer to the shows now compared to back in the 80s. Also, I really don't like this quote on their page: "At this time we are uncertain of the demand for Southern Cross figures. We will be reaching out further to the community to see exactly how much of a demand there is for this piece and other possible pieces in the Southern Cross universe." Shouldn't they know the market before they get into this project? And which community are the talking to? Here and the Robotech.com forum? There are only two posts about this on the Robotech forums. Perhaps there are Facebook groups or other forums. And I could swear I read a quote about a Kickstarter type deal and almost a put up or shut up type line. Maybe that was here or they edited it out. But I'm not putting money up until I see a prototype I'm pleased with. And I'm not pleased with the legs on what they are showing right now.

    Some possible bad news about the digital versions of Ace Combat 5 and 6 being pulled. https://www.resetera.com/threads/rumor-namco-bandai-cant-sell-the-ps4-port-of-ace-combat-5-maybe-ac6-too-tomorrow-could-be-the-last-day-to-get-them-digital-offer-ends-2-18-19.93992/ Ace Combat 5 looks sharper too.

    I love that book. I went on a treasure hunt for it before the days of ebay.

    I don't think when I purchased the original toy they were called SD or even joke machines. I'm sure there was a similar topic or I posted something about these small figures before as I was attempting to remember the old toy store where I purchased them. But the only thing I knew back then was it was a Robotech veritech and it could transform. I didn't own the bigger toy and I didn't like the look of it. It's possible that I owned Jetfire but I didn't like the colors on it and thought it was a ripoff and not the Robotech veritech. The SD toy did everything I wanted and it was kind of cute even though it wasn't accurate. And my favorite thing about it was that it had the rotating heat shield. I thought that was the coolest thing as a kid. I still own one of the original toys. I think I had two of them but I could only find Milia's I believe and some extra parts. It's packed away somewhere.

    I was hoping you would make a big review. If you are still thinking about getting the Transform Element version, I'm curious what you'll think about that one in person. And if there will be additional changes to the second release. But that Magic Square one does look good. I can't remember what I did with the trailer when I had the original toy. So I really don't need the trailer myself. That's why I'm pretty much out on the official version now. Even though it's clever that they figured out a way to get figures in the truck. Perhaps that's why the backpack is so big on that one though.

    I thought after looking at all the pictures that the Magic Square Optimus was the one I was going with. I preferred the look, paint job, and battle damaged parts. I believe it was mikeszekely that pointed out the grey bits on the waist of the Transform Element Optimus and I can't stop seeing them. But I'm thinking that these companies look at what each other is doing and change things just to be different. It's like the 3rd Party Jazz versions. They all have both good and odd design elements. The Transform Element version has the best Matrix chamber out of all of them. So much that I'm leaning that version now over the Magic Square. It's like Magic Square cheapened out on that bit. I see some people on the Transformer forum using paper to cover the glass on the Magic Square. But still you shouldn't have to do that. Maybe if there are second versions, there will be more design improvements. I saw on one youtube review an MP-10 with anime style glass that looked really cool.

    I decided to get the 2040 DVD eventually. I don't enjoy shows as much when I stream a low quality version. I'll probably wait till Black Friday though. No real rush as I have so much to watch. I might wait till when the Figma is released to watch the whole series.

    Was it at recent convention? I searched that Robot Japan forum and didn't see anything yet. And we are talking original Dangaio right? This is good news if so. I was only hoping to get Dangaio in that Chogokin Action line. Dangaio and Iczer Robo.
  25. JetJockey
    I started a topic for the Prime 1 Studio figure when it was at a convention. I guess not that many Gatchaman fans here. Priced at $799 for the normal release and $849 for the exclusive face. It will be expensive if and when they make all of them. I'll save the $50 as I'll never display the exclusive face.
