Valkyrie Hunter D

Any form of FFT toys I'll take, even gashapon! Heh, I could see the princess or even TG Cid as the "rare" figs. For the FFVI figs, I could see a fully rendered fig of their SNES sprites in all their SD glory included with their "realistic" counterpart figs similar to the FFVII Advent Children figures.

Nice Aardvark pics, Godzilla! Love the F-111. I'm still not sold on the camo valk. I agree with Neova in that it'll probably look a lot closer to the pics in the WonderFest thread than the pretty publicity shots, and those WF pics sure didn't make it look good. As for the stealth valk, it looks alright, but I think it'd look better w/out the skull logos on the tailfins. Oh well, at least I could save my $ for any VF-0 variants...

Yup, it'd be sweet if Patlabor got more attention in the form of toys. Bandai put out an Ingram figure a while back, but they didn't follow it up with a complete line. The arcade prize figs and gashapon are alright, but a full blown out toy of a Brocken or Griffon would be niiice. BGC figs were on the top my wish list for a loong time until they came out last year. Now I await for Motoslaves and Boomers (perhaps even a D.D. battlemover?...yeah right). Aside from that, I always thought that cool toys could be made out of: 1). Dangaioh (with Sidekick Wave action!) 2). FFVI chars 3). FF Tactics chars

Yep, that's what he said. It was long ago at one of the early AnimeExpos when they were still in the Santa Clara Valley. He was at a booth with his wife promoting all the Streamline releases and I asked about Zillion. He actually sounded quite excited about it, saying that all episodes will eventually be released and even some music videos. Maybe he was trying to get this dumb kid to buy his tapes. But hey, you don't have to believe me

The premise of the first Zillion game was similar to an old Atari game where you had to memorize codes and input them in trap infested rooms to advance through an enemy installation. Once the last room is reached, an self destruct code is entered and you had to get out of the whole maze quickly...after fighting a huge boss. Good times. That was my first exposure to Zillion, and it was a surprise to find out one of the main characters was female (The instruction book referred to Apple as a dude). As for the anime, I remember Mr. Macek saying the whole series would eventually be released. Pffft.

Man, I want nothing to do with a retaliation that relies on BO. I get enough of that from my housemates...

The news of another low-vis coming down the pipe is definitely reassuring. It could be that Yamato is gathering some feedback to see how popular the new paint schemes could be. Isn't that how the first low-vis made it to the production line?

Wow. I'm glad Yamato is branching off with different paint schemes, but those valks are just funky looking. The camo valk looks kinda cheap-I think its the dark brown spots that turn me off. Damn, I was really hoping another version of the low-vis would come out too.

Man, the VF-0 is one goony looking bird...I love it. Now, where to make an order...

Those small grey pieces in the valk's box look a deal breaker for me. I'm assuming it needs those pieces to be solid all three modes, and I know I'd lose them all. Battroid looks decent, but I want to see fighter pics. As for Hikaru, it's the first decent looking Macross 12 incher IMO, but I'm not gonna plunk down $80 for one. Damn, a Roy doll would be huge if it was made in the same scale.

let me see what i can do, i should be able to get a set or 2 in. anything else i should bring? 356817[/snapback] Actually, scratch the FP set, but I think I'll pick up a CMs 3 set for a friend of mine.

It makes her impervious to most attacks, and enemies cannot carry her off anymore. If they do try to snag her, they end up dropping to the ground because of all the weight . I don't know if she would still fall to one hit kills though (i.e. chainsaw slashes, rpg blasts, dodge events). So what does this make her? Plaga bait! Just leave her in the middle of a mob and watch em try to kill her or carry her off while you pop them in the head.

The laser kinda blows. It has to be charged ala Megaman for a solid beam. The tommy gun and the infinite RPG launcher combo is a lot more fun IMO. BTW, Ashley's 3rd outfit makes PRO mode a LOT easier.

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon! "Who's the MAYSTAH?"

Cripes... ok, I'm sold. Great pics! I think I'll have to get two sets now, one for default colors, and another for a set in dark army green.

I'll definitely be there, any chance you'll bring any fast packs sets for the 1/48s, Tony?

I'd definitely get one if those pics are of an unpainted kit.

354155[/snapback] LOL! That truly sucks Rick, but like everyone's pointed out, the recast pieces might help.

Agreed, it'd be the perfect icing on an already sweet cake. Keep it up, Kurt!

In the short time since the low-vis has hit the shops, it now fetches a price comparable to that of a 1/55 Strike valk. Ridonkulous. So is it too late to buy one? No, its never too late to buy one, it just depends how much you NEED one Or just pray that Yamato goes crazy with their re-issue trend.

Yeah, I don't remember the game getting too much in depth regarding Hrist and her beef with Lenneth. Dammit, I might have to end up getting a PSP after all...

Awesome news! The first game with its beautiful character designs and music, along with the addictive battles is still on my top RPGs list. I haven't played any RPGs for a looong time, but I'll have to make time for this one. And it's been ages since I played the first one, so I've forgotten most of the story elements. I do remember wondering what's up with Hrist? And why does she have an evil version of my party? (grammar freak edit)

Isn't that first layer on the front supposed to protect the printing?

I would, but its hard to imitate that ominous "howling" noise.

The pic makes the rotors look like they're spinning faster than they really are...
