To be fair, we don't really know the interactions of the companies in the development of the toy. They may just be distributors or they may have had some key conversations early with Beagle that helped shape the final product.
-
I guess if it's just merchandising rights then Tats must have the IP rights so it should have been easy for Tommy and company to throw an AGAC or two in Space Station liberty. It's a shame they didn't.

The Toynami's biggest difference from the Gakken was the articulation in the rider figure. Then there's all the extra details including the the jets and fins that pop out of the wheels. Well, I guess the real biggest difference was the price, the Toynami was supposed to run $79.99, not $199.99.

Brilliant!

Ha, I showed my girlfriend this toy and told her how expensive it was and she said, "Your hobby is so cute. Can we go to Comicon! I wanna cosplay as Sheryl... is that her name?" I am a lucky man.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a rights issues with the designs of the Southern Cross mechs. That's why we didn't see any in Shadow Chronicles when the crew was going through space station liberty's hangar. The Sentinels existed in a different legal time and deals have happened and cases filed since then.

I gotta imagine a lot of pic links are going to be messed up here before long. In the meantime, here is the corrected pic:
-
The LowVis in set 1 was unique also. I'm guessing that's Yamato's point. The chase planes will all be unique. I don't know why they'd do that, it's not like they could make enough of these sets having only one VF-1 per set that's canon to get all the canon schemes out.
-
Yep, I'll bet I screwed that up too. I was probably editing a pic and looking at the big 21 on Stick's helmet while I was writing the review. Two corrections to make tonight. Thanks guys, let me know if anything else pops up.
-
Ah yes, yes it should. I'll fix that later tonight. Don't blame me, blame Gakken and/or Beagle as they're the ones who make the claims, I just report them.

logos, the thumbnails appear if you upload a file here directly. full size images happen if you upload them elsewhere and link.

A re-imagining might work but I'd want nothing to do with a sequel. MacII was seriously lacking in originality so imagine how LAME a sequel to it could be. Macross II 2, "Lovers Again, Again" featuring the VF2SS-2, and the battle of Hibiku, the son of Sylvie and Hibiki vs. the mighty Feff jr!

Added several new pics to my review over at anymoon.com, here's a sample:
-
No 1/60v2 should be allowed to be pictured at that angle. The head looks too far back because of the way the chest comes up too far. It looks like if he looks down he'll be staring at his own chest some how.
-
That looks just like the Toynami sculpt... seems like a lot of work for that. They did get the helmet free though and that's cool. The bike looks fantastic though... brave modders with lots of money out there. It seems to me will be seeing an appendix or extras set sold separately some day. There ought to be a headless helmet in the extras set.
-
Here's one for you guys. If you own the Gakken 1/8 as well as the Beagle, the Beagle looks great (in a cartoony way) holding the Gakken's super beefy gun.
-
Word from people in contact with Beagle and selling the Beagle is that it's definitely Ray, Houquet, and Yellow LAST. I believe BBTS is going off Toynami's release schedule when Toynami was planning on making their own product.

The ankles are really stiff but do offer a large range of motion. It's definitely tricky to get him to balance just right but the feet are more forgiving then you'd expect... but they still end up too small and really require you to get your poses just right.
-
Lemme see: 1) VF-1S 2) VF-1J Hik 3) VF-1D 4) SuperOstrich 5) Elintseeker Now I can't put 5 though because chances are we will see limited editions, some of which I might think are awesome paint schemes. So.... 6) Minmay Guard 1 7) Minmay Guard 2 LowVis 1 9) LowVis 2 10) Weathering Edition TV VF-1S etc. etc. In the end, I can't commit to a number.

We know the Alpha wasn't done with CAD because of its obvious similarities to a product that existed before CAD (at least, before CAD was used to make toys or models). The design of the Alpha is taken from the design of a very old model. We know it wasn't manufactured via CAM because of the sloppy tolerances.

High strength steel? This must be a misnomer if it's sheering in an unhandled plastic toy. -
I don't think it'd be wise to attach the sleeves on the arm to the chest armor, I think that'd create a lot of potential for tearing the fabric. I would rather they use a tighter and more rubbery fabric so it wouldn't move around as much. The targeting scope is definitely loose and could be much better. There were several poses I got the armor in that would have really been impaired if the hip covers attached in front like they do in the back.

Vermillion - Got mine from Overdrive. I think I paid $40 for shipping... somewhere in that ballpark. Maybe $45? Yeah, that sure doesn't help the ol' bottom line on these things. Overdrive packages things in ways where I know I'll get the toy just like it came out of the case so I don't mind if it's a bit pricey... and of course it's lightning EMS quick shipped the day it came out. Too bad Monday was a USPS day off.

Sounds like exactly the same problem the other guy had.
