    I was talking about the Cammy Figure

    OOhh look how edgy I am, I make fun of Mac7 without any good basis to work from, and think something from RT-Sentinels is from it. Have you even watched Mac7 dude?

    THey both could be. IIRC there were multiple Anti-UN factions, some better armed and funded then others.

    I like a woman with strong thigh, but DAMN.....

    From additional pictures I saw, it looks like the X-Wings, at least are all new molds. Typical of bandai they have different runners and pieces for the different colors. ALso, and I will want to check this to be sure, the wings look a little thicker.

    Beat me to it. YEs, in the later Marvel Comics it is revealed that a young Anastasia walked in a scene where her brother and a bunch of Viet Cong were dead and Snake Eyes (pre-ninja commando, and just an army ranger badass) was the only one left standing. That put her on her road to terrorism. Laird Destro (the previous Destro) then shows up with his teenage son and deduced that Snake Eyes was defending himself. The Baronesses brother killed by the Viet-Cong who were masquerading as humanitarian relief workers IIRC. It was a well written story, but from a time when the comics were becoming more Snake Eyes centered due to pressure from Hasbro and Marvel execs. The overall story arc was good though and led into the excellent Gulf War Storyline where the ranks of both sides were heavily thinned.

    I loved the first, a nice bit of fun in a genre that has become way too serious. I missed the second, too busy, and the bad audience reviews kind of shooed me away. This one looks old school badass, while retaining the fun.

    Ok, glorified illegal drug production, distribution and other criminal activities.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the MC die at the end of that drug glorifying series?

    At this price I'd rather by the 1:20 with fastpack and weapons set and have a pro-model builder customize it for me with all the bells and whistles. Probably still end up cheaper.

    Yes, the Hachette collection models are nice, I've seen a few in person, but are insanely expensive. It would be cheaper to just buy a kit and pay a professional to build and detail it.

    The Indian Air Force has one of the most diverse and interesting air forces out there. They operate not only their own, homegrown aircraft, but Russian, British, French and even American aircraft. The interoperability of all those diverse systems is pretty amazing. It's almost like they are looking more at the capabilities of the aircraft then on the politics of where they come from.

    THing is, if CW can get Old Bruce Wayne, and can't have BW Batman, can they get Batman Beyond, as that is no longer OG Batman? Can they get Flashpoint Bats? I mean Gotham showed a young Bats at the end right? Just not in the full suit? (I never watched). Is it because of that? Does Fox own the rights to live action BW Batman?

    Solid start, can't wait to see the finished product

    Holy Necro-Post Batman. A quick word of advice, might be best to introduce yourself before posting to ask for feedback on your book. There are a couple of authors and writers on this group who would probably like to help you in between projects, but this is probably not the way to start.

    Gorgeous animation, Legioss model is definitely based on a toy, based on the proportions. Original Mospeada music would have been preferable.
  17. Knight26
    The original and the book are classics. Would have been better if the movie had stuck to the book and Rambo died at the end.

    To each his own, but I like how it turned the X-Wing into more of bomber, hence the Mud-Hen reference. Had they combined it with a new dedicated fighter, like an E-Wing I think it would have been awesome. The mid-chord wing split of the T-70 drove me nuts, still does. While it gives a thicker wing over all, the much shorter chord of the wings would result in all kind of torsional stress from the wingtip weapon emplacements.

    Flapping Tiny
  20. Knight26
    That is definitely a better looking toy then the last one, but I still HATE the T-70. The wing/engine split is just way too awkward and they really didn't address one of the X-Wing's biggest flaws, the poor visibility. I loved the two seat "Mud-Hen" X-wing concept. With a little more refinement it would have been far better. The biggest refinement I would make to that one would have been to blend the engines into the fuselage more and give it a subtle LERX.

    It is clearly labeled as Hikaru Ichijo (Macross), yet calls the mode Guardian (Robotech) instead of the correct term of GERWALK (Macross).

    While not perfect there is no reason to reboot BSG again. NuBSG is still an example of how to a reboot (mostly) right. I agree with @Graham, do something original or find a book series and adapt that. If they must do a reboot (because Hollywood is risk averse) then look to other franchises: Buck Rogers (the early 2000s version is best forgotten) Any Gerry Anderson but with live actors. Starcom (yes it was a cartoon, but a live action adaptation could be awesome) Or something else entirely. Though I would laugh if it turned out to end up being a live action (thumb their nose at HG) Macross. Think about it, aside from the transforming mecha, SDF Macross and BSG have a lot of parallels. They could even bring in SK to design the new "vipers" to make them transforming and mix the lores. No, on second thought that might be terrible. But funny to watch the HG guys heads explode.

    Maybe its 50 miniatures total. LOL In all seriousness though it isn't that unrealistic a schedule, depending on their manufacturing base. Figuring that 4 out of the 6 this time around at VF-1J in various modes and with armor. Than reworks of the molds/stls will yield 16 minis right there: VF-1A/1D/1J/1S (fighter, gerwalk, battroid, armored) Then the super packs are another 12 minis between all the modes. That gets them up to 28, plus the 2 power armors for 30. 2x Glaugs (regular and booster) 4x Regults (Reg, small missile, heavy missiles, recon) 1x Gnerl 4x Destroids 1x Monster (big maybe) 8x Zentraedi/Meltrandi (Z-Solider, M-Soldier, Breetai, Exedore, Khyron, Millia, Azonia, at least not counting alt poses) That gets you up to 50 right there. Figure that every month will include at least some Valkyrie variant and them additional exclusives (Boosted Valkyrie, Half Gerwalk Valks), and if they all come unpainted, so no exclusive paint jobs, that gives 50 minis total. If they come painted, then they can cut out a number of designs and just produce all the various color schemes (max and millia, red VF-1S, custom schemes, etc...). That also precludes the use of DYRL specific designs (strike valks, and upgraded power armors)

    Interesting, if it weren't for the RT tag I might be interested. SOme of those look like nice 3D printed prototypes (I see layer lines).
  25. Knight26
    I have no idea, what happened there?
