    I'd take bad valk action at this point, so long as they showed some transformation in doing so.

    Pretty sure it's just a display stand. Kinda greebled, to "fit in" to the overall look. I'm very tempted---because while you can tell it's not even half as crisp as the Bandai (and maybe not even the old MPC/Ertl), it will be decently sized. Is it just me, or is the command tower/bridge too low/short? It's the opposite problem that the Rebels one has. Is it THAT hard to get the proportions right?

    Found it---the weird winged bomb at the USAF Armament Museum is (possibly the one and only) GBU-20: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app5/mgws.html

    In a way, yes, but---no, not at all.

    Also, continuing the Norse theme----Ragna(rok).

    Still my most-wanted scheme on the 1/60 mold.

    Yay, now I have another chance to never see that Royal Guard figure on the pegs...

    Wing!!!

    Oh wow. Have fun. You're not even into any of the good parts yet. It will of course have a few dips, like any series. But it gets SO good by the end. PS--your opinions on Sheryl vs Ranka will change. Often. But that's good thing, it shows they're not cookie-cutter bland characters. PPS---do not skip the after-credits scene of Episode 22.

    Is Kabaneri available on anything like Crunchyroll, or must it be watched through "other" means? (I do love trains, so trains+Mikimoto sounds good to me)

    Won't the face be like 1cm tall in real life? I don't expect much from a 600Y(?) gashapon, and will buy it just for "a cheap little Mirage to put somewhere".

    If the story had as little variation as the music does, it'd be an even more boring show than it is.
  13. David Hingtgen
    That's totally valid. And CG-wise, preferred to carrying Phoenixes aft. If the aft pallets are loaded, they will be the first to empty their weapons. It's actually about my fave combo, I do it on models when possible. About the rarest combo is 4 Sidewinders, 2 Phoenix, 1 Sparrow. (You could actually do 3/2/2 I think, balance wouldn't be too off but have never see it so likely not a legal load----3/3/1 likely physically fits but would have lateral balance issues for sure I think)

    The pose is a copy of the main official artwork you always see of her:

    Heathen!

    Pretty much. Even ignroing mecha/battles-----Frontier had much more interesting characters and music. Delta is bland and very "same-y".

    Found pic of "the one they forgot to get a close-up of"

    Holy Lonely Light is the best M7 song, period.
  19. David Hingtgen
    There's enough songs for a second album? HonestLy, for how "idol heavy" this series is, I don't recall that many different songs being used. Frontier had much greater variety, and notably--far more unique/memorable songs.

    I might need that one too. But it's clear Mirage gets no love---they gave every other figure a close-up pic.

    A good transforming Escaflowne is still like the chogokin holy grail.

    Hayate was able to hover in mid-air wearing sneakers and a t-shirt, from the winds of Ragna. I imagine the legendary winds of Windermere could certainly turn a wing suit from glider to actually flying, at least some of the time.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Is the Mirage pilot figure different? Also, is the "backplate" for the fighter mode different? (as in, the area surrounding the head---the heads are clearly different, but going back to the V1 VF-25, it's easy to ignore the "surrounding area" difference---but fighter mode always suffers for it if it's not tweaked to perfectly conform to each unique head)
  24. David Hingtgen
    The best ones are ready to fly and have drip pans under them, though it's rare.
  25. David Hingtgen
    At this point, I won't be surprised if the remainder of the series is infiltrating the castle/rescuing various people, talking to Roid about Mikumo, then Mikumo sings and saves the galaxy. As in, no more mecha, "we've seen the last of the VF-31".
