So Star Wars needs more Red Sonja? I wouldn't complain. She is a Marvel character after all right?
-
You should find a good copy of Do You Remember Love?, especially if you've never seen it before... it's the pinnacle of 80s anime in my book and always time well spent.
-
You don't recognize the SDF1?
-
I think they're just showing off the engineering by the parts... still expecting perfect transformation.
-
2013 would be great but I'll expect 2014 and hope I'm surprised.

Someone at Bandai just hates how hard points look when you aren't using the missiles.
-
You're mistaking the fact that "some" photos emphasize the different shade effect. It was all a matter of lighting. I think it's very likely that Bandai will do a much better job with the renewal toys, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions from this photo because 1) you can't control the lighting, 2) it's unlikely it's a finished product manufactured like a mass release will be. Again, I think it likely will be color matched better, I just would just hold off. I don't remember people complaining about the mismatched colors on the V1 until people started opening their boxes.

The 27 was very good in fighter mode. I think, like others have speculated, this might be similar to what happened with the VF-25G and Tornado Parts. The only difference here though is Bandai was using that release as another way to get mileage out of the existing Tornado Parts and on this release they're having to come up with a whole new super parts mold and possibly some mods to the existing mold to make it Super Parts compliant. I guess I could see it going either way... maybe the renewal VF-27 will have to wait until Bandai's 35th Anniversary V3 VF-25? I would love for Bandai to do a renewal now that we know the whole renewal of VF-25 toys are coming out and we're getting another 171.
-
That would be impossible to tell at this point.
-
Was that just speculation? I don't think Yamato invented hard points. They may have a locking technique they patented but i'm sure there's lots of ways to handle that.

While I never found Southern Cross particularly good, I would say that the original is MUCH better then the RT adaptation
-
Is that a Harold & Kumar II reference?

Prometheus - on Blu-Ray and DVD Oct. 9, 2012
jenius replied to Pizza the Hutt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Bashing The Great Gatsby is extremely silly. That book is well written, there's a reason we've all read it. Takes me back to senior year of high school just thinking about it... I think we spent two months on that book. On the suspension of disbelief thing, I think that's what's causing a lot of the negative reaction to Prometheus. Ignoring the 100 nitpicks article I linked to, there were two points which actually took me out of the movie upon my first watching it (and I'm sure I'll watch it again). That was the stupid biologist who fears dead bodies but loves alien snakes and Shaw running around after having an emergency c-section. Basically, the movie jumped the shark there and everything that happened after that I was like "Oh really? THIS now?" Up until it rolled credits. It's like the writer's gave up. Yes, the forced C-section and how it was filmed was pretty cool... but it shouldn't have happened to Shaw's character... it should have happened to someone who didn't spend the rest of the movie running, jumping, and doing pull-ups. Either that or it should have relied on nano-technology or some other scifi magic and extended out the time frame a bit. As it was, I spent the last 15 minutes scoffing at the film rather than enjoying it. I will echo that I found the pacing disjointed and the opening sequence had me thinking long and hard about how it couldn't be Earth but was probably supposed to be... but it wasn't enough to pull me out of the suspension of disbelief like the items above. -
It still has the collection of cameras, it just also has the outlines for the eyes in the clear panel in front (thus making sense of how it suddenly had the Kai's face... kinda).
-
So they've molded in aspect's of the Kai's face into the clear panel eh? It looks great, if these weren't insanely expensive I'd buy one. I would have bought a 19F at that discounted price too!

Super parts! http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/a0011/b0023/item-1000078026/ Friend sent me this... instant buy for me.

I knew Prometheus had some problems... but 100? I'll have to make some time to read through this: http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/fictional-science-100-glaring-logical-issues-with-prometheus/?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_33419 Saw it while reading Ghostbusters 3 information. -
Nobody's darling but the CM's is my next Votoms review up on anymoon:

It seems like Bandai SHOULD be able to do something about the wings in their armored parts release since. I don't know what the fix would be exactly but since we get whole new wings I'm hoping they do something to address those stupid pegs. At the very least, if the pegs were locked into the wing so the whole wing fell off instead of a hard to find peg that'd be a step in the right direction.

A couple good videos from the past of this thread: -
I think Yamato missed a golden opportunity at some point. They made 1/24 Patlabor figures, 1/15 Megazone figures, 1/12 Votoms figures, 1/15 BGC toys. It seems like they could have done something like a "Microman" line of toys at one standard scale that acommodated all these lines. Not sure what that scale would be (1/20 or 1/24)?
-
That was a scene mega house set up at shows. They also had scenes featuring an invid scout they never made and a Mint figure.

Seems there are a disproportionate amount of idiots who drive GT-Rs.
