Should we be expecting a full set of 1/48 (or 1/55) scale standing and riding figures (similar to your infamous Macross sets)? Or is it something bigger? . . . . Just what or who can it be? Sorry, spelling error there. It should have been: "Houquet, it be?"
-
Well it's about damn time they made this version!
-
Ted definitely had its moments (The. . . .umm. . . ."ending" to the check-out stand flirting was definitely one of them). But I'd have to go with 21 Jump Street for best comedy so far in 2012. Messing with the stereotypes. Unexpected cameos. "F*CK YOU, SCIENCE!!" . . . . .Of course, Prometheus probably trumps all with its comedic leaps of logic.

So I just watched the season premiere. Pretty good fight scenes.
-
I'm not sure if it's a lack of the original creators' involvement. But as I hinted in that massive essay post above, the series lacks a lot of cohesion and flow when taken as a whole. For a 24-episode series, there's just too many plots cooking on the proverbial stove. By the time the original E7 was heading towards its final episodes, we had pretty much gotten answers to all the "big picture questions" presented throughout the series. With E7: AO, it's like we still have a ton of big picture questions left that need to be addressed. I got a feeling that at least one of the remaining episodes will be almost entirely exposition/explanation. . . . which wouldn't necessarily be bad, if done correctly. At least, Adult Swim started re-airing the original series again! Since I no longer have my old DVR hard drive, I get a chance to record some of those memorable episodes again.

So, let me get this straight. . . . . . . and we gotta wait until December ("late Autumn") to see the final two episodes?!! What incompetent broadcasting idiot do I have to smack around for this dumb decision? Yeah, yeah, Olympics pre-empted them for a couple of weeks, but still. Really?! They can't just run with the show for two more weeks? A few other comments:

With three more eps left for this series, here's two impressions I've been left with so far (sorry for the extreme length): Of course, I reserve the right to change these opinions if these last few eps knock our socks off. But I'm not certain that will happen now.

I have the old rubber-tipped ones, and I absolutely love them. You definitely don't want to overtighten the screws on the base, or you risk stripping the screw thread (and getting a floppy prong that can't hold anything). Sucks that the issues with with the clear tips were never resolved. I'd probably buy a few more if they went back to the rubber tips. I've been staying away from the new ones after seeing all the issues posted on the forum. And folks, you do realize that all the prongs don't have to be the same length, right? Mix and match those prong lengths to make some ridonkulous poses!!
-
I'm hoping. . .
-
That was pretty cool, but it would have been even more awesome if they used the original door opening sound.
-
Then I'll give Amiami the credit for busting out the dynamic poses and angles to better sell the 17D.

The Wolverine FILMS (X-Men Universe)
Mog replied to antibiotictab's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, if they went with two claws, they'd have to introduce X-23 somehow in this film. And it's way, way, WAY too early to start that. -
If I do wind up buying this, I'm probably gonna do some minor custom touches. Probably paint the head to look more like a cap or cut down the number of stripes. Gotta admit: I'm glad that they're going with more stylized poses and camera angles now.
-
SH*T JUST GOT REAL!!!! Lastly, I wonder why the last few teaser previews are lacking any sort of narration?
-
I understand the appeal of the muted colors and more alien look of the DYRL SDF-1. But it's not the Macross I grew up with. Understand, I've slowed down significantly with my collecting. I'm not buying as much stuff as I used to. (Though, I'm seriously considering getting the VF-17D.) But assuming the price is reasonable, I will absolutely, positively without question move hell and high water to get a TV-style, Prometheus and Daedelus sporting, SDF-1 Macross! Garish colors and all! No other Macross item on my want list is higher.
-
I'd kill for one episode. . . .
-
So, the series is called Macross. It's about this big, hunking alien ship that lands in the Pacific. The humans study it and repair it. Make a crapload of technology based on and in response to it. It has this infamous maneuver called the Daedalus Attack that was used umpteen billion times in the series. . . . . . .And yet we haven't had an official toy update of the iconic mothership in over 25 years.
-
Yeah, I enjoy the How It Should Have Ended series too!
-
Wow! Absolutely stunning work!
-
TV. Style. SDF-1. Is it too much to ask for an updated version of the grand-daddy namesake that started this whole damn franchise off?
-
Where exactly is it loose? Is it loose at the hip joint or the knee joint? If it's the hip, I just gave my Beta a quick look and noticed that there's a screw at the hip joint. Maybe tightening that screw will help reduce the loose-ness. Just widen the legs (as if you're transforming it back to battloid mode), and you should see the screw I'm referring to.
-
Yeah, I don't know what to think anymore. I just hope that they can wrap up, tie in, and/or resolve: Really hoping everything gets resolved by the time we get to Episode 24 (only 8 more episodes left).
-
I've kinda learned my lesson about watching raw episodes without the translations/subs: unless you're watching Michel Blanc go out in a blaze of glory, it's really easy to misinterpret or misunderstand a bunch of scenes. Happened to me with a couple of Black Lagoon episodes, and I'm pretty sure it happened with one of the earlier episodes of E7:Ao too.
-
^^We can shave a few years off the sentence for them finally making a solid Beta. Or maybe making the Beta prevented them from getting the death penalty.
-
It's an absolute crime that Toynami didn't make those Jupiter/Mars Base emblems and number stickers bigger for the wings. Bigger emblems and numbers really make the Beta's wings stand out so much more.
