Nice, very clean looking.

I got mine in! And I should be getting my regular release today also.
-
I moved to a visual V2 release schedule that may be helpful for future reference.
-
HMR was run by a huge Macross fan in the early days but projects rotate within Bandai and focuses shift so the line has just been plodding along for a while... Nothing obscure like scout regults or destroids.
-
My understanding is that the toys were expensive so they were marketed to adults with the premise they were easily modified like models. Paint it like any Valkyrie from the show!
-
I want to believe! That backpack, if painted, looks very well done. If resin, then the color after all these years is fantastic, as is the quality. Are the arm stripe stickers orange or red?
-
They could have, but since they're indistinguishable from the parts on other toys, you'd think a customizer would just paint them. The head looks slightly discolored so that made me think maybe it was resin but seeing the backpack made me pause.

Okay, 1/100 but this surprised me... a 1/100 VF-1D KO. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t1157557958 If it was a custom... it's very legit looking. The backpack is molded in orange plastic from the look of it.

@Anasazi37 turned me onto 3D printed replacement head lasers and all the details necessary for anyone with a 3D printer to make their own. I made a quick video about it and also included the information in my review on anymoon for people years from now who buy one 'New in box' and discover this issue. Thanks Anasazi! Here's the link to the cults3d page: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/replacement-antenna-laser-for-the-bandai-dx-yf-21

Wow that's bewildering. I wonder what could have caused that. Like maybe hand or mold release oils transferred to the cloth and reacted with the dye somehow over a prolonged period of time?

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
jenius replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
You can't be hung up on any element too much because at the end of the day, if the story is compelling, all the characters and setting can be new with only subtle links to the original(s). I wonder what Macross would have been like if it didn't live in Gundam's shadow. I think so much of what the creators strive to do is stay unique and separate from Gundam. -
It's unfortunate how it all went down but I think the best way to think of it is that the pilot figure was a 'early bird preorder bonus' and that the toy naturally will not include a pilot figure going forward. I believe it was confirmed the pilot wasn't included with the light/heavy battlepod set and it sounds like it won't be with the recon pod either. Then, when they start selling a pilot figure (probably a long time from now) they'll reach out to all those original 'supporters' and send them the accessory for free (except for shipping) and put it on the site for purchase for all the people who bought battlepods later to consider.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
jenius replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I think that happens in the movies. -
This is where a display stand could really help. There's only so many walking and crouching poses with both feet on the ground. I bet someone will figure out how to 3D print a cradle that could fit between the legs. KC should collaborate with gokinplus.com.
-
My review of the Battlepod is up. Spoilers.... I love it!
-
I'll join everyone for a DYRL screening!
-
That has the vibe of a 3d print that is good to display with a space assault scopedog but may never see the light of day.
-
I'm in!
-
I kept refreshing until I could buy one. Seems like we had lots of success for only 30 being available.
-
Huh, I can't access the page from my phone or computer, says ip blocked. All other pages work.
-
Yep, I have just the page up on a PDF if you want to download it and then print it. I started updating the page for the VT-1... then I got distracted by the 50th anniversary... then I got distracted by another toy. Sigh.
-
You mean when Max is dressed like a Zentran guard? Maybe the Zentran have a 'guard' class of huge Zentran to man the brig? More likely, that stuff was all made up by the TV show producers because them escaping by being tiny and fitting through cracks in a poorly maintained ship wasn't exciting enough.
-
For dramatic purposes, especially in light of how Hikaru would feel as things unfolded, it makes sense in this TV dramatization of 'real life' events, the pilot would be portrayed as being huge.
-
Well, no matter where we stand on the Beta, they definitely made the Alpha, even if the engineering was taken from Imai.
