    Takara magic at work again. Articulation is great, a waist-swivel and/or ab-crunch would have been icing on the cake, but certainly miles ahead of FT Phoenix. Thinner canopy and fuselage that is more integrated with the main body and doesn't jut out compared to Phoenix. Also no ugly wing fold in the back, instead opting for a more elegant retracting mechanism. Good that all the red parts are consistent, none of that gaudy metallic stuff or distracting chrome shining through. Takara didn't need to, but it is pretty cool how they incorporated a nod towards the Macross/Takatoku/Bandai/Jetfire history and heritage into the toy. MP-44 was only 33k Yen, so Skyfire is now going to be the most expensive MP I have bought but well worth it, Anyway got my pre-order in at Show.Z Store now.

    Just caught up on the news, didn't expect this but very much welcomed. Bummer about it being TT mall exclusive, hopefully I can find some place to source it. Only a darkened image, but it looks like it provides the options to be a fun MP to mess around with. You can already see pivoting shoulders, hips that allow the legs to go higher than 90 degrees, separate jointed knees that seem like they can do a deep bend and from the small image proper foot articulation shouldn't be a problem. So in this regard I am perfectly fine with Takara being late, if it means I don't have to pay 250+ Euro for a big brick toy.

    The scale should be 1/30, Knightmare Frames are around five to six meters. And almost 30k yen and Bandai can't be bothered to throw in a Kallen pilot figure!?

    Oohh... I need this! And don't take to long with Lancelot Albion Bandai!

    Well they have apparently also retconned the new Constitution class from 288 m to 442 m (although helps explain the greater interior space the ship seems to have). So them making the Enterprise a flagship is just another drop in the bucket at this point.

    I would love for Ramen Toy to tackle StarCom, would be great to have an updated Starmax Bomber in the collection.

    It may sound strange, but the super articulation has me more interested instead of the whole gold of the frame thing. When is this going on pre-order?

    Love it! Stark contrast to the hybrid nonsense that was Skids. Robot proportions, articulation, alt-mode, accessories... everything a proper MP should be! Should be around 130 Euro after AJ pre-order rebate, that's a steal for a classy premium toy if you ask me.

    Woah! Looking fine from what can be seen. Doesn't seem like it is going the Skids route, which for me is a good thing. Also Takara having the last word on announcements Hasbro: Commander class Motormaster Hasbro Asia: MPM-13 Blackout Takara: Nani? Hold my Sake!

    I think it would have been nicer to have given Max the YF-30 and of course a great opportunity for fans to reacquire an iteration of that DX toy. Would love to see someone work their Photoshop skills on a Max coloured YF-30.

    Yes, I know that – the point being that they went with TNG tweak instead of reusing the more antiquated wording of TOS. haha - good one Quick, somebody do the monologue in Yoda-speak.

    Grammar is not the issue here with "no man"

    Looks great, getting strong Voyager vibes here and nice upbeat intro music evoking that adventure/exploration feeling. Also didn't think expect them to go for the full starting monologue and with better wording to boot (no ONE has... vs. no MAN has...). That gets a thumbs up from me.

    Haven't watched it yet, but in case anyone missed it season two is now on Netflix.

    Very frustrating and does make me feel a bit angry that Bandai is pulling such a move. Buying locally has never been an option unless I intentionally want to burn money and to my knowledge there is no central distributor for the EU like like Bluefin or similar. All this talk about global markets and how thing become easier and we can all benefit from it.... Doesn't seem to count for the average individual consumer, instead we get more steps, more stones, more hurdles placed in our path. Sorry for the slight rant, but yeah I am a bit pissed about this.

    Awesome! Will get this, the original Nu, full armor, seven swords, twelve funnels and of course the eventual evoke mode.

    Goosebumps... Duel of the Fates, Anakin’s Dark Deeds and Battle of the Heroes. Even if the story turns out bad, I'll give the show a thumbs up as long as I get those tunes with moving pictures.

    Nope, it' the RG version.

    Out of curiosity, does your first release Superman also have a nauseating smell?

    Pity Mafex won't provide Storm with a more casual head with an Iris/Pupil for her eyes.
