VF5SS

+1 - you're like a dream come true +2 - just wanna be with you +3 - Valkyrie it's plain to see that you're the only toy for me~

You may be suffering from fiction fatigue. May I suggest enjoying a good game of hockey to clear your head :3

nostalgia is a helluva drug

he's just this guy, ya know?

well that huge Mega Millions drawing is today so who knows, Highlander, who knows...

Himulka from Galient teases Shigeru Chiba's character constantly as he attempts to grope her... And that's a Ryosuke Takahashi show

Roy was quite the snappy dresser, eh?

only if they dress Hikaru better than this his popped collars were way better

will there be lots of pretty outfits? if so then yes plz

C'mon Bandai. There's three VF-171s you could be selling right there! Open up those preorders.

what's the point of a remake if you keep most of the dialog the same?

doesn't exist...

When I was sanding the gray parts for my VE-1, the dye seemed to have only seeped into the upper most layers of the piece.

The standard polyamide colors are more pure white than the Super/Strike Valkyrie off white. They can be dyed or painted using acrylics to match the toy. Despite the weird purpleness of their gray dye, it's not a bad fit if you just want to pass off the shoulder hinge as mechanical detail.

Alright Who would win in a fight, Airwolf or Blue Thunder? Naw seriously how about "In terms of Western television and cinema, what designs stuck with you the most? Did you follow the works of a particular designer like Syd Mead or Ralph McQuarrie?"

Yeah he's the right hand of god Kawamori

well that's just blatant lies because we all know which is better when you get to the heart of the Valkyrie :3

I don't remember much of the Gundam TV series so I'm not sure if it was the movies that really attempted to justify the whole Minovsky craft thing for the large floating carriers. I'm pretty sure the Gau (giant purple plaaaaaaaaane) is just meant to fly like a regular fixed wing airplane. Same with the Garada class planes from Zeta. Whether or not they could do so unaided is a matter of boring nitpicks nobody really cares about.

Reminds me of this Gundam-san comic where Bright is all like "Amazing! The Gundam can fight in the air!" and then Ryu asks "What about White Base being able to fly" XD

I think there's plenty of realism in the franchise already. It's well balanced with the fantastic events and beings within the story. Adding dry military talk isn't really conducive to making it better. And c'mon guys, Shin was laying down way more proper Tally Ho's along with Edgar's BINGO than either Hikaru or Gamlin ever did :3

If Shapeways doesn't respond, I can try to get a confirmed working set for you. Anyways, I've decided to upgrade some of my existing figures regardless of their shoulder status because the transformation is so much smoother now. My VE-1 has been REBORN! ah~

That's actually fairly realistic. It is possible to survive very brief exposure to vacuum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression#Exposure_to_a_vacuum_causes_the_body_to_explode Exposure to vacuum does not cause the body to explode. Hikaru may not have followed the exact idea, but him doing it is no worse than Quess in Char's Counterattack making a brief space jump.

i thought that was singing and the pretty girls with pretty dresses and get involved with equally attractive young men at least that's why I think the show tops a lot of "favorite anime polls" for female fans in Japan i don't think that many people really know military protocol on either side of the pond

Well there's a degree of drama that can stem from realistic military procedure that has been pushed to the limit of how much soldiers will follow it. Kinda like The Hurt Locker, although some argue that movie would have been better if the main character wasn't such a loose cannon and the creepy mustache guy wasn't feeding off bloodlust but I digress... Macross is from the bread and butter space opera school of military protocol. They may stand up and salute while wearing goofy uniforms but it's all just flavor for the story :3

The problem with adding some more professionalism is you'd basically have to fix up every Macross series. Especially Plus since that's full of people being super petty around expensive equipment :3
