Odd place for "Nose Art."
-
"NO STEP" tampo where?
-
I have co-workers that loved Robotech when they were young, but all they've ever done was watch it on TV. They've even owned toys, but they've never looked any further than that. Everything that is Macross, Southern Cross, or Mospeada is Robotech to them. They have even owned Orguss toys without knowing anything about it.

Mikumo Guynemer is the one with all the scary legal issues. Best to avoid that one.

I've looked into this a bit. The hydrogen peroxide ends up being a surface treatment. People claim that it does reduce the brittleness of the plastic in addition to the whitening. There are ways to get the bromine entirely out of the plastic, but that requires Chemistry Lab equipment and chemicals. There are several threads about this and you can go too far and burn the plastic as one Macross World member did.

I remember seeing that drawing. I didn't notice that they made that happen. Kind of a VF-4 style nose cone fold. The whole torso seems to have been redesigned.
-
OMG the pilot faces the ground in soldier mode! Not that it would really matter in space...
-
Then shouldn't it be a VF-4S or something like that?
-
I would think that the seat should rotate for pilot comfort in armo-soldier mode. Seems a bit tight for that.
-
So what are the differences between a VF-4A and a VF-4G?
-
Excellent question...
-
I'm in. The VE-1 release was PF only, maybe this will be too?
-
I'm in! Been waiting for this release for quite a while. I do wonder how much T-REX makes, they seem to be the go-to designers for at least Macross toys. Their MOSPEADA designs seem to be doing well and their Legioss looks promising.
-
What are the chances that this will get twisted into some new Robotech thing?
-
I would think that if you wanted to show off the joints, leaving off the cloth is one way of doing it.
-
Would anyone pay for exclusive rights for a Macross 7 license? I always like to believe that Big West will license to multiple manufacturers if there is enough interest. Either way, we haven't seen much Macross 7 anything lately.
-
To be fair, Nippon-Yasan is all they way over in Shikoku. Assuming that Bandai's distribution is somewhere near Tokyo. It will take at least an extra day for them to receive their stock. Unless they fly it there or send it by bullet train. They then probably ship oversea by way of Tokyo (extra back and forth). It is probably why their shipping costs more than most. Assuming that they don't just tack on extra for shipping just because.
-
Not good. Not good news at all.
-
I don't disagree, but it is far more difficult to army/diorama build with the DX line.
-
If I recall correctly, doesn't HG believe that they also own the rights to use the designs in DYRL? Have they ever tried to use the Megaroad 01 as the SDF-3?
-
That would depend on how confident one is on pushing out and reinstalling pins.
-
My Variable Stands boxes were safe, my Elintseeker box had some damage to it. I'll use them if I have to, but they will not be my first choice. Also, check for the following: One of my two stands has this issue. Its minor so I think I'll keep it. I'll just need to swap it to the rear side.
-
The upper and lower hinges on the main arm are ratcheted. The decorative "clamping" arms are not. I think I'm done with Amazon.co.jp and DHL. My Arcadia Elintseeker and Variable Stands both arrived in crushed boxes. Amazon.co.jp boxes are thin and it appears that they treat the boxes no better then the US Post Office.

The computer and electronics super geek thread

Post a picture! I'd love to see it! I ended up with blue fans even though I would have liked a DayQuil kind of orange. But that was 2012. -
Their collectable products seem to be improving. Although that's only because they are giving incenses to products that originally started out as knockoffs.
