    Does the gunpod actually have ground-clearance?

    I'll give them points for the TPS camo, that Jolly Rogers one has the best replication of the actual colors/pattern I've seen in a LONG time, including otherwise very-well-done model kits.

    Just from the teaser pic, that doesn't look like a B model, based on the antennas (lack of) under the glove and ahead of the vanes. Not a D either, for similar reasons. I'll have to look to see if any early-build B's looked like that, but that looks like a "final" scheme of VF-102. ::edit:: At least the fuselage nibs look right, a far more important part.

    I didn't think any airliner was certified/tested for 40kt crosswinds, 35's the highest I think I can recall hearing about.

    There's several VERY neat schemes from the 30th Ann game, though I really wish Kawamori had simply "very slightly tweaked this design" to make the VF-31. Imagine something halfway between the YF-30, and the VF-31A. THAT would be an amazing valk. Just have the tailfins "slide up" in battroid mode, kind of fill in along the trailing edge of the wing, and it'd solve a lot of looks/fragility issues there.

    Yamato did Nora's PERFECTLY IMHO, I would hope for an exact copy of that. I keep fearing Arcadia will do something stupid like "plain yellow" for the stripes, and not the awesome metallic gold---that'd be a deal-killer. Or, they'll make it as pink as Mylene's MAXL... Arcadia has a very poor history with "choosing the right colors". YF-19, VF-0D, I even have issues with some of their VF-1's.

    They only used the -262 mold once, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even make Chuck’s, much less more -31A’s...

    FB2012 VF-4 in any form is welcome, but I worry that an HMR version would take parts-swapping to a whole new level. Like basically the entire top half of battroid swapping-out, and only the legs being used in both modes...

    Like, 3 years later and they're just now revealing Admiral Scully? (I remember watching the video-interview showing her mo-capping it long ago) (personally, I find it kinda boring when they mo-cap and record an actor "just to look exactly like themselves in the game"----was really hoping her character model would look very different, just for the novelty etc)

    I don't remember that sequence THAT well, if they were that inconsistent with what happens in that situation with two occurences just a minute or two apart...

    Saw it Tuesday. Generally agree with mikesz. It’s not awful, it’s kinda campy fun. If you like Venom, go see it. A sequel with a whole lot more Eddie-Venom action could be pretty good thing. Kajnrig——they made it clear that it’s a certain (high) frequency range—-jet engine whine, speaker feedback etc. “ending scene” noise is a much much lower pitch. Finally——my fave scene actually has Eddie and Anne. More with her, please.

    An official English version of “A Blue Dove for the Princess” would be a much better book, ESPECIALLY if the HD remaster is AC5. http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/A_Blue_Dove_for_the_Princess Chapter 7 - Old Tree It was when the dove finally made its way to the rocky mountain that an old tree began to murmur to itself. "An ominous wind is blowing. It is about to reveal itself, I suppose. It doesn't seem I can make it through alive this time around. Demon of Razgriz... Hmm? A hero, this time?" "What is it?" the dove asked casually. "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself. First as a dark demon." The old tree began to tell the same story that the dove heard at the castle. "As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns. This time, as a great hero."

    They shouldn't tilt up at all, but that's another thing...
  14. David Hingtgen
    That's all I really need, honestly. Just done well/lineart-accurate, and not like the Yamato 1/48. Moving flaps are a negative, because they're totally inaccurate. A VF-1 has double-slotted Fowler flaps--they don't pivot up/down, they move BACK. Ever watched an airliner's flaps slide backwards and split apart? That's exactly how the VF-1's work. Not many fighter jets have flaps like that, but the VF-1 does.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Same here—-they are fighter jets, that also can turn into robots. Not the other way ‘round. I believe Kawamori also starts in fighter mode, then later figures out a battroid for them.

    At first I thought "wow, he got every reissue"----but then I saw the Horrorcons, and was like "OMG, those can't be reissues..."
  17. David Hingtgen
    So is everybody BUT the US getting the better engines at this point?
  18. David Hingtgen
    You don't ever see much Veffidas cosplay... Was she Mikumo in the previous pic?
  19. David Hingtgen
    ::watches opening again:: Dang it, it is horizontal there. ::animation error, cough:: Ironically, right after it's put down to launch (its designed purpose)---the very next camera-shift, as it actually launches--it's up again! (fully up). Obviously the launch-bar is really just there as a decoy to hide the secret, that the launch is actually done using protoculture...
  20. David Hingtgen
    OVA-accurate-markings YF-19 would be nice...

    Watched trailer, but can still never ever un-see “Ben 10 with a blonde wig” in every frame. First time someone pointed it out, I was blown away by how spot-on it was.
  22. David Hingtgen
    That pic shows what I noticed in the video the first time I watched it——there’s something off with the nosegear, because the launch bar (it’s not for towing) can’t angle upwards——-it hits the gear door if it goes past horizontal. Either the bar attaches too high up, or the door is too big (I’m betting on the latter). You only have to watch the original TV opening to clearly see the bar should angle upwards most of the time, never being horizontal and only being put down moments prior to launch. (Just like a real carrier plane).

    I think the -25 is the overall best design, of the 25+ generation. Every design after goes into the HUGE backpack category (not that the -25's is small, but compared to what came later, it looks better now). The -31's weapon pod is in the way more often than not, and is a rehash of a rehash of a rehash IMHO (29 to 30 to 31). And regarding "wings ripping off in GERWALK/battroid"---the -25 does pretty well in that regard, and I think has one of the best GERWALK modes ever. For me, I always look for that perfect "50/50" balance of plane vs arms/legs, and the VF-25 does that better than anybody. I want them "mixed" very well if that makes sense---not a plane IN FRONT OF the robot (-19), and not a plane ON TOP OF the robot (-21), and not the plane mostly hanging out behind the robot (-31).

    I honestly think I would have enjoyed a movie about Matt the Radar Technician™ more...
