well, harsh lighting and what appears to be a diffusion filter don't really make for flattering shots...

ugh, that review makes me want to cancel my order. lol .

so awesome! I can't wait for it to be released. It's about time yamato started tampoing everything.

huh, the kid must have missed the man versus room service episodes where bear climbs up through a waterfall, or jumps off a cliff, or jumps into a river or does any number of stupid things just to show what a bad ass he is. I guess the kid was smart enough to realize, that unlike Bear, he doesn't have a camera crew and safety experts following him around keeping him safe. http://blogs.sun.com/rama/entry/bear_grylls_comes_clean

haha, love the soccer poses, great job capturing the sense of motion.

bear's show, at least, is science fiction.

I'm all for doing whatever it takes (within reason of course) to end whaling. It's a pretty barbaric custom for a "resource" no one needs and only a handful of people even want... but I agree, the captain is a buffoon. My personal favorite is when he claimed the whalers shot him... such a lol moment considering the distance of the two ships, the fact that they were in rough waters and the two ships were pitching and rolling... but somehow an unseen sniper managed to get a small caliber round right into the middle of watson's chest...

wow, absolutely amazing. Thanks again for taking the time to make this happen.

yup, there's price cuts coming.

Les shows you things a normal person can do and what not to do. Bear's show, which is obviously choreographed, shows you things the average joe shouldn't attempt and probably couldn't do anyways. My nod goes to Les.

if it makes you feel better, the Steve Irwin isn't fitted for the ice at all. In one episode they're lost in an ice drift and the captain has two crew members down in the hold trying to reinforce the buckling hull with some 2x4s... or maybe that doesn't make you feel better?

That would be something, at 1/32 I wonder if yamato could even work in the actual leg transformation system, rotating and collapsing landing gear, working lights, opening access hatches, etc.

yeah and there were already two very respectable toys of the ride armor that had already been released and they were released more or less at the same time. "meh" property plus flooding of the market with similar products... it's no big mystery why the line failed. Maybe if Shadow Chronicles had been more popular and had really brought the franchise back from the dead like they had hoped. Oh well, who knows, maybe in a year or two they'll try again.

I believe it's this line http://www.takarahobby.com/new/0904gimix-f15/index.html

cool, thanks for the pre-order link.

hopefully HLJ will be shipping next week. This will be my first DX vf-25 so I'm rather anxious about it.

I hear what you're saying but the Sea Shepards are pretty much skating the line already, if they step over and use more aggressive tactics than that opens the door for escalation (even greater) and they really don't have the means or the legitimacy to keep up in an arms race. I think their best weapon is public support and I think that's the whole point of the show, to publicize what they're doing, what their mission is, what the situation is. But I agree, I think in the greater scheme of thing, the over fishing of the oceans of sensitive species like blue fin tuna is a far greater issue... but tuna just isn't as cute as a whale or dolphin.

lol that would be awesome if the captain really did try that with the whalers! I can see his tubby fat ass in a little pink dress standing at thebow of the ship and singing out his little lungs. It's not hydrochloric acid though, that poo would severely injure anyone it hit if not kill them .. it's butyric acid which just stinks to high heaven.

it would be great if it were true. The last season was so good, it's a show that really deserves to at least end its run on its own terms.

I'm torn as well.. I think the captain is a coward and a bit of a racist plus he's constantly blaming the crew even when it was his own incompetent orders that were the root of the problems. And a lot of the stuff I think they claim is just outright BS designed to generate publicity, like when they claimed the whalers shot at him or the biological weapon scare. Having said that, I think it's well past time the japanese and other nations need to give up whaling. It belongs in the past.

you're right, sorry, I'll stop doing my impression of you.

you should turn the oxygen back on in your house before you start slinging the mud. Forget about Ley, we've been hearing even the Stick ride armor hasn't sold out, even the toynami version hasn' tsold out. On the other hand, Yamato and Bandai have had no problems selling 200 dollar toys, even releasing them every month with little more than a minor paint app change. So it seems apparent that the economy doesn't really seem to be a factor. Maybe the beagle would have had a chance if it didn't come on the tail end of 2 other ride armor toys. But so far, other than a relatively few people the demand for the Beagle armor just isn't there. edit:: I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool and that I wouldn't buy the last two releases... I'm just saying the reasoning that slapping "yamato" on the box would suddenly revive the line is rather flimsy.

hush now, your logic and reasoning have no place here, here there be fanboys!

the grey visor is actually kinda 'meh'... lol.

I have the 1s fokker, 1j hikaru, 1j cf, 1d hikaru and the 1a tv max... only the fokker developed a crack and only in the other shoulder. They all get transformed on a semi regular basis.
