blurbed from http://www.tfw2005.c...evealed-174356/ official site at: http://www.happymeal...ndex.html#/Toys

lol! Well, just to be fair, there are people who never outgrew having Luke as their role-model. I mean, you know, Han's always been the better role-model coz Han shot first!
-
Luke Skywalker ain't an anime character. That said, I think most kids I know grow out of fixating on any anime or cartoon character by the time they're over 8yo or something. Furthermore, I think most of us here in this forum are not kids anymore. We can buy our 1/60 Yammies with our own money!
-
Not sure if there's really a polarisation or just some vocal minority being rather silly about it. Still, awesome job on that blue VF2SS thingy, mang!
-
Well, I don't live in Japan and don't quite understand the fans over there, but I don't really think it's quite healthy (mentally and otherwise) to have or to fixate on an anime character to serve as a role-model for anyone. Regardless if it's Basara or Shinji or whoever. However, for entertainment value, I am more entertained with Shinji and Eva anime than I ever have had with Basara and M7 anime. Even more entertained with the current Eva reboot, as a matter of fact.
-
I would agree. But then we have to consider that both Evangelion and Nadesico followed mere months later after M7. Those two were even more flamboyant and superbly more awesome anime than M7 and didn't grate nor made us groan. I think diverting with "eyes on a giant robot" is more impeding in the discussion than whining about "real" or "super" categories, don't you think?
-
Does it really matter what the people in Japan use for their "robot"-terminology to us here in the west or how old they were in Japan when 7 and Plus was shown? Seriously. What's the relevance to us that are not there?
-
I really must ask. Who is talking about "eyes on a giant robot" ? I'm also still unsure about your earlier post regarding: I'm a bit interested about who these "everyone" that you're talking about.
-
pls explain.
-
I think Yamato-Toys should make and sell a proper VF2SS in 1/60 scale. They already improved upon the crappy Bandai M7-valks, so it's not much of a stretch that they can vastly improve upon the even-crappier Bandai VF2SS kit.
-
I think the major charm and appeal of Macross in the mecha-dept was that the mechas were about as completely non-derivative of the old 70's robots, i.e. they don't remind anyone of the Mazinger Z or Getter or Raideen or Balatach or Mekander or etc, etc. The exception to that being the Soundforce valks of M7 having faces, of course. Having a mouth on a mecha in Macross is just stupidly silly and unnecessary, imo.
-
Keith is trying to make us squint to see that the F91 Gundam he searched hard for has some kind of mouth that is comparable to the M7 Valks like Fire Valk or the Maxl. It's like saying beetles look like bats coz both have wings. Oy vey.
-
lol! that vf-x3 is optimized for ridiculous fugliness. not sure which is more fuglier, tho. That or the Metal Siren.
-
Wait a sec. The specific Bandai VF-2SS kit is most likely the worst kit ever, regardless if it's from Macross or from another anime series. It's even more horrible than those tiny exploding Banpresto VF-series! The only thing good about the kit was the Ishtar poster that came with it.
-
let's try to be more pedant here. really haven't seen a Gundam mecha with a mouth that's not covered, in contrast to the M7 Fire-Valk or the MAXL. of course, there's the over-ridiculous gundams on G, but i don't think those even count since G is not really canon like M7.
-
more comparo-pics! http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/543020-foc-onslaught-figure-60.html#post7240571
-
yeah. haven't come across comparing M7 valks to Gundams. must be a new thing?
-
gotta luv this pic from the tfw-forum: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/543020-foc-onslaught-figure-37.html#post7239462
-
yeah. not really digging those new colors on both Blast Off and Vortex. I really think the Bruticus arms are just mistransformed (either deliberately or something). at least, I hope they are.
-
more Foc Combaticons pics (Blast Off and Vortex) and Bruticus concept-art: http://www.tfw2005.c...tml#post7239313 actually saw them at seibertron first: http://www.seibertro...y-images/23936/ Vortex looks kinda like a piranhacon in his alt-mode.
-
full Foc Bruticus pic: http://www.tfw2005.c...evealed-174327/ kinda meh. hopefully it's just mistransformed or something.

I think it's time for V2 1/60 YF-21 and V2 1/60 VF-22S
treatment replied to Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0's topic in Toys
weird. i got the M&M vf22s and I have no problem getting them back in fighter-modes. i had an issue with Milia swinging her left-leg out in battroid-mode, tho. maybe we just need some "upgrade-parts" for them instead of a full version-2? i think we all know that the yf-21 does not need that useless humongous box that adds to the shipping-weight/cost or something since it doesn't come with the stand anymore. -
http://www.macrosswo...opic=30857&st=0 still funny to read. edit: oh, you meant stuff from the legacy board. wish i could find the Toynami MPC stuff. those were funny, too. especially the dark brown triple laser head thingy. I guess this was the closest to it or something: the banpresto vs MPC thread: http://www.macrosswo...t=ST;f=8;t=9286 edit2: another gem to me -- the $38 1/55 Super VF-1S hlj sale thread: http://www.macrosswo...=ST;f=8;t=10337 those were really the days!
