There's nothing on the m7 vf-17 that I would like to see re-used. It's decent for what it is but to be frank what it "is" is a toy thats on par with 12 dollar transformers.

I dislike the sculpt. The head/cockpit design is horrible the joints aren't anywhere beefy enough for the weight and the hip design is completely useless for posability and outright broken in terms of getting the wings to mate up with the body as intended in shuttle mode. I'm really hoping Bandai comes out with their own design

I agree, mix it up. The 27 is just too similar to the 25 to be released next.

true. I can wait.

didn't stop yamato from doing the vf-1 3 times...

ooooooh!!!! a refined DX sculpt would make me very happy

oh, but a voice change vf-1s helmet is both large scale and it transforms... your voice. But I think it's going to be the SDF-1... unless yamato is gonna do a 1:32 scale vf-1

voice change VF-1s helmet!

I agree, I think it'll be fine as their design and build quality has steadily been improving but as you say, I wouldn't be surprised.

cuz the 1/60 ver 2 vf-1s strike had the shoulder problem.

nope, it's perfect

nice... I wish I was in a position financially to keep up with all these releases.

Yeah, don't feel bad man. You did an awesome job and your translation was first one I could show Macross virgins without feeling embarrassed.

I don't know if the current 616 origin is better or worse than the Ultimate one where James was subjected to some super soldier serum that spawned the mutants... Oh well, for years fans wanted a wolverine origin story, now we got one (two) and it sucks.

Hajime no ippo (fighting spirit) again. Still awesome.

it was in ep 24 "good-bye girl" but most of the fight animation for hikaru and his FAST pack 1s was recycled for episode 27 "love drifts away"

meh, I would never pay full price for another yammie q-rau, especially considering how poorly it measures up to yamato's more recent offerings. edit: actually, it measured up pretty poorly back when it was first released. I remember my first thought as I got it out of its box, "I paid how much for this?".

yeah, that's what I was thinking as well... I guess the question is how to fold valkyries and singing into a story about ecology and politics. hmmm.. a story that folds in guerrilla warfare, the backwaters of earth, and ecological activists would could work. I would really like to see it placed between 2012 and the happenings of Plus so we can see some of the older designs get their glory and it could explain (in the usually roundabout kawamori fashion) why the earth was more or less left alone.

They made an adaptation of Tale of Genji??? wow... must watch.

Hmmm, that's a tough one to say. It's very possible that the NAC was shut down which would mean most of what remained of europe would now be experiencing a mini ice age and quite possibly huge stretches of western north america as well russia, korea, and japan. Also, who can say what the effect of having such a huge dense of cloud of satellites surrounding the earth would have on the amount of solar radiation absorbed and deflected? On the other hand, having all the worlds forests burnt down and the permafrost melted off would mean huge amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. I agree that the Earth's biosphere would have been "permanently" altered (as far as humanity's timeline is concerned) but life would find a way. And with a little husbandry and planning, I don't see any real reason why the earth should look the way it does in Plus. But I think this very conversation is proof that there's some interesting stories that can be told on earth

haha... thanks for the catch! Day After Tomorrow is pretty hilarious. The basic underlying theory is a real one though, that if the poles melt the on rush of freshwater would disrupt the north atlantic current and plunge western europe into a mini ice age. But yeah, both the arctic and antarctica are giant deserts. They get about as much precipitation as the Sahara. If all the existing ice and snow melted it would take a seriously long time for it to look like it does now.

Well, for the depth to have lowered, all that water would have had to have gone somewhere. If it had been boiled off, the increased atmospheric pressure would have made the earth a very uncomfortable place to live. But the increased humidity would have actually helped the reforestation of earth. I actually think it's more likely the polar ice shelves were vaporized, resulting in world wide flooding. The arctic, both north and south are actually deserts. It doesn't rain there... The air is so cold that any moisture it had was dumped long before it gets up there and the snow that's currently there is from the rare storms from since whenever... it's so cold the snow doesn't melt. So, considering the grand canyon was there and it was a prime target for bombardment, the glaciers and permafrost and ice floats get boiled off. Catastrophic world wide flooding occurs... and since the area is a desert, the ice and snow will take thousands if not tens of thousands of years to come back.

wipeout HD is a must own, imo.

so... Macross: Palm Springs ?
