    I'm curious as well. I thought I saved the image but forgot. It was a good setup with a complete scene. I assumed from the final episode but I didn't check yet. I tend to go for Misa stuff over Minmay anyway unless it's a singing cel or something from Flashback.

    You should put the car from the Kickstarter below the artwork.

    Someone on the statue forums teased that Prime 1 Studio might have Gatchaman statues in the works. We'll see soon. I hope they are better than their Robotech releases and more like their other Japanese anime and comic lines.

    Prime 1 Studio Robotech statues are a let down. I can't believe that's the best they can do for Macross / Robotech. That DYRL figure looks really good in the cockpit. I might have to find one of those and do the modification.

    Anyone here win the Macross TV cel of Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay?

    That's cool artwork. I remember posting somewhere about wanting to get some of the artbooks. I wish I could find my old drawing for the base I drew when I was a kid. It was from the early part of the Master System game where you go to recharge.

    The rare good cels go for a bit. I wish I looked for them earlier.

    It's possible. At the least those reviewers get discounts I think. Some mention it and some don't. Some actually tell you were to get the items in beginning advertisements. Usually those people I stay away from as I like more fan and honest reviewers. Not people looking for free items.

    I've seen a few larger and pan sized Macross cels before. I posted that Minmay DYRL one before that I should have purchased.

    I thought this was on a Kickstarter. I would be shocked if 30 people wouldn't sign up for a Kickstarter for a hovertank toy. But then it would probably have to be official. I want the hovertank mode more than anything else. I always displayed the old toy in the middle cannon mode. I'll see where I can post news.

    Sometimes prices jump like that when Amazon hits its rock bottom price. Usually after people purchase. I've seen it happen a few times before. I keep forgetting to check Amazon for figures. Strange they got this one so late as she was released late last year. Can you post that teaser of CM's Tri-charger? I'll search MFC for it as well as the Dirty Pair figures. But post those figures too if you can. More vintage anime stuff would always be a good thing. Cool. The Japanese release is really expensive last time I checked. This has Burning Night too.

    I'm ok with the design shown so far as well. This might be like that saying beggars can't be choosers. But Lancer looks cool. And I bet Rook's bike mode will be cool as well. I always thought Rook and Lancer had the best bike designs anyway.

    I just found out about this. I probably missed it because of the topic title. I would have been interested in a hovertank. Still going over the topic and reading the details.

    I remember when a someone I knew showed me a Robotech Masterpiece toy. It was still boxed and he kept it that way. I had the Yamato VF-1 at that point and knew it had a more accurate transformation and just was a better toy. I didn't care about the Masterpiece box packaging. I probably would have purchased a Masterpiece Hovertank though as I only had the old toy and didn't like the fact that there wasn't a hovercraft mode. There are tons of companies that I won't buy from and actually go out of business when they show that they only care about profits over their customers and making a good product. Sideshow Collectibles is quickly headed that way with their fast rising prices, iffy at times quality control, and some products that lack creativity for the price especially compared to the competition. I don't even bother thinking that I'll get a full team group from them anymore. Of course they say stupid stuff too because the money is coming in and they are confident. But huge companies have fallen apart before. If the people that control Harmony Gold are that dumb to publicly say that they only care about money, they will be out of business as well. Honestly, I haven't purchased anything from Harmony Gold in years. The last thing was probably a CD and on discount. Which I have like three versions of the Robotech soundtrack. And also a mousepad. The whole blocking of the new Macross series over here is extremely upsetting. I think they were lucky making Robotech. I actually like it. But once they make a Blu-ray, that's probably it for me and Harmony Gold. Unless they do come out with good Southern Cross toys. I am watching if that new boardgame will be good. I didn't know people liked The Sentinels that much. I sold my comics but still have the books which I'll re-read one day.

    Post that site here or a new topic when the site goes up. There are a few Macross and DYRL books that I'm still curious about. Some people on Youtube have massive comic and manga libraries. If the site is a few people they could pull off reviews of all the anime series books. Plus there is ebay to sell the books when you are finished reviewing. Many of these youtube reviewers are just getting complementary stuff from the companies too.
  16. JetJockey
    Actually it doesn't from a business perspective unless all you care about is profits and not the product you are producing or people you are making it for. And if Harmony Gold doesn't really care either. Because by not finishing a line or group of characters you'll only piss off fans who will most likely remember that the next time you try to sell something. Especially these days with the Internet, people will remember or will be aware. But maybe it is just about profits, that could explain the reason why the statues with the exception of the large cockpits are so lackluster. Especially when you compare them to the other cartoon, movie, and anime releases from Prime 1 Studio and Kids Logic. I know if I setup the statue license at Harmony Gold, it would be for a statue from each segment. I would get an agreement for that before signing the contract. I wouldn't leave it up to the statue company and let fans get disappointed. There were TMNT statues released from Playmates I think back in the 2000s. They thought Leonardo would be popular but still made too many of him. You can get him really cheap these days. They ended up making far less of the last two TMNT statues but still finished the line even with the lower demand because people wanted the full group. Some were upset over the recent Pop Culture Shock TMNT statues and thought why get one if there is a chance that the other characters won't come out. There are tons of examples from other companies like Sideshow Collectibles with fans getting upset about unfinished statue lines. As popular as The Avengers are, I don't think they even finished that group. This shows how little I'm aware of later Robotech shows, but how is Southern Cross fourth or fifth in popularity? I'm only aware of the original Robotech with the three segments. Also The Sentinels but I don't think anyone wants toys or statues from that. Nor consider it part of the original Robotech due to the big difference in animation style. From your post, this is the first time I've heard of Robotech 3000. I never heard about a Southern Cross Kickstarter for kits. I'll do a few searches. Maybe I just don't remember. Perhaps the fact that they were kits is the problem though. Kits are for the major fan or if there isn't another option. Check this out. I think it was on my list to get. I need to get a copy soon.

    I can't believe that would be their business plan for statues though. If it is, it seems faulty. Or just dumb. I get starting with what is I assume most popular in the Macross part of Robotech. But going to New Generation and then saying, that didn't sell that well enough or there was a drop in sales, so we won't make Southern Cross is crazy. Some people want a complete line of toys or in this case statues. At least with statues so far, Prime 1 Studio has two versions of the veritech. I would bet Robotech fans would take a statue version of one robot from each series. Kids Logic did the Cyclone in Armor mode. They also have the SDF-1. Who knows how these contracts work. I just looked around the Robotech store and didn't notice anything from Southern Cross besides some trinkets. So maybe there is some reason why no one is making items from the series. Either Robotech or official Japanese versions. I just know if I setup the contract with Prime 1 Studio, it would be Macross, Southern Cross, and New Generation versions of each main robot. The Evangelion pieces look far better than the Robotech ones. I think there are three of those. I've only seen a few Evangelion episodes so far. So I don't get the popularity of it yet.

    I thought they were going to update everything on the front page and item sections when they upgraded the forum a while back. But I guess not.
  19. JetJockey
    Yeah it's just a modernized fan thing. It still looks good. They want to make a reboot. https://www.instagram.com/amboccstudios/ They have a few more from BGC on their Instagram.

    For those that don't check the Dangaio topic. The soundtrack to Fight Iczer-1. https://archive.org/details/ICZER-ONEBATTLEMUSICCOLLECTION
  21. JetJockey
    Bump. Hopefully we'll get a Dangaio out of the Chogokin Action line. I found this fairly recently too. https://archive.org/details/01HidemiNakaiCheapThrills I never got the soundtrack for the 2nd and 3rd episodes. The soundtrack is in the recent Blu-ray release. And here. https://archive.org/details/ICZER-ONEBATTLEMUSICCOLLECTION

    I wonder if either Prime 1 Studio or Kids Logic will try to make something from Southern Cross? They both have large scale pieces for Macross and New Generation. They don't seem to be selling out quickly with I think the exception of the cockpit from Kids Logic. They should attempt a hovertank statue. I would take that over the Cyclone and Veritech statues they have since we get so little from Southern Cross. They could do the bunny exclusive that Dana did in that one episode.
  23. JetJockey
    I was playing around with Instagram tag searches and found this.
  24. JetJockey
    The sooner they bring on Dangaioh and Iczer-Robo the better. The box art for those should be fantastic.
  25. JetJockey
    It sold out from where I usually get comics. A new Motoko figure was teased for 2019. Still SAC though. They really don't want to make a good movie version. I thought we would see something with the recent release in 4K. https://myfigurecollection.net/item/738339
