no, again, the stealth does NOT appear in the animation. A dark valk appears but there's nothing to indicate it has gray trim and is anything more than DARK. Certainly no evidence it multi-toned, a VF-1J, or has strike packs???

When you have that many children, you get big boobies. It's only natural.

I really wish Yamato would stop making all of these skull squadron vehicles. I don't think these are out yet either, I think they're not supposed to be out for another week or so.

in the pic of the fighter from below it looks like the head should be painted partially green. I wonder how bad that would have made battloid look though.

either my quicktime plug-in is dead or this thing takes FOREVER to download EDIT - it works, it just takes FOREVER. It's really tough to judge anything since it seems like Robotech gets the least airtime in this promo.

I think that stealth head needs to be black. It stands out a bit much as it is. Nice work though

The whole thing looks like a repainted CF. As such, I would assume the intake covers are the same chocolate brown color and so are the feet.

Oh God, a thread with ample opportunity to flame both Southern Cross and Mac7? This is like a dream come true of mine! Still, I will bite my tongue.

Yeah, a little too sharp and sleek though. I never thought the fighter looked pointy in the anime. It is a great looking fighter mode though but I think the 1/48 looks closer to how it should.

I'm with you, it'd probably take me several minutes to get from fighter to battloid and back again. Then again, I never find myself in a rush to transform anything.

Lots of a$sholes around here and a few forum & search nazis. Don't let 'em get you down. Just learn which members they are and ignore them. Just to be safe, do some research before posting things. Eventually you'll be caught up enough where it won't matter.

Yo Macross73, I don't know how lively the discussion would be but you should probably start a new thread in the "other anime" section for Super Dimensional Calvary Southern Cross. You'll probably get a few comments. It won't be as fun since AgentOne is banned but I'm sure 1st Border Red will have some comments about the show he'd like to share.

you have to post pics, it's a rule when you create a thread about anything that would benefit from pics.

Oh my... that's just wrong. I own a few of them and have to this day never even bothered transforming them... I can only imagine how ugly the end result would be.

This sounds like a good opportunity to try Krylon Fuzion or whatever it's called.

I love that landing gear! That was one of the most hilariously bad pieces of engineering I have seen in a toy. The only 1/55 Gakken trip changer that can sit on its gears is the blue one. People wonder why so many of the green and red ones have their head fins missing... Still, I think it's better than the 1/72 Gakken. At least the 1/55 can move one arm independant of the other, same with the legs.

Actually, one's an MPC and the other is a Superposeable. Here's a clearer pic of what each one is like: 1/35 Gakken 1/55 Diecast Double Changer 1/72 Gakken Gakken 1/55 Trip Changer Toynami MPC Toynami Superposeable Metallic Toynami Superposeable Plain Comparo shot of the smaller Gakkens in Armo-Diver

That set is friggin' sweet but you should definitely start with the Fast Packs. Look how poseable this thing is despite all that armor! Add into that the fact everything opens up to reveal individually painted removable missiles and you are talking about one serious jaw dropper. It effectively doubles the presence of a valk. Yeah, I think it's a bit over-priced but there's no doubting how great it is.

I like the art on this box set.... but it is a bootleg right? eBay GCM Boxset Sorry, I know it's not Macross.

So you're going to repaint the LV2 GBP to a black and gray pattern? That could be really sweet!

I hear ya and I don't wanna start a debate but I did want to clarify, when I say that I feel the MPC is better (honestly, six of one, half a dozen of the other) I don't mean because it looks better. I just mean the MPC is a better toy. No screw covers popping off, no legs falling off, no awkward hips in battloid mode, no mid mid-calf rotation in GERWALK, that sort of thing. The MPC's sculpt is no where near as good as the 1/60's (except for the heads... although the MPC heads look too small). Another case in point, someone said you should get a 1/60 VF-1 to compare it with the 1/60 VF-0. I think this would be awesome except the 1/60 VF-1S has the worst head sculpt in history. In fact, I think once Yamato saw just how friggin' ugly a head they created they decided not to do a VF-1S Hikaru. Just seeing the head of that sculpt irritates the hell out of me. Add that to the fact the 1/60s look awkward in GERWALK. So, if you wanna do a 0S next 1S comparo you better be leaving both vehicles in fighter mode.

The Alpha/Legioss toys all have differed in what they thought was proper scale. Here's a pic, obvioulsy the 1/35 is the big boy, all the other guys are supposedly 1/55 scale.

I think Graham has a how-to video on here somewhere. I looked and only found the 1/60 one though so hopefully someone else will point you in the right direction. Yes, they're worth it. They really do spruce this toy up a bunch, and a VF-1S Strike Hikkie is straight DYRL bad-assness. I think they're worse than the Toynami MPCs if that tells you anything. Nobody can say for sure... but since they have reissued a lot of the other ones it seems that they will eventually give us more Max 1As. Maybe in time for Xmas? Eh, like I said, nobody knows.

I think they're preorders for September... and you can make your preorder in a number of areas including TMP.

Plus, Hik did tap that a$$ during the reconstruction period. Sure, it's not on screen, but you know he did it. He was also clearly tapping Misa, why else would she have a key to his apartment? Life was good for Hikaru no matter how dramatic they made it seem in the show. "So much tail and only one Mr. Happy to hit it with."
