And er, don't forget Snake's girly mags! heh Frames from FMP, excellent idea!

Should be this one It's cute and all, but kinda waste of the Revoltech poseability though...

Yeah! And they could have a special limited edition clear Motoko aka Optic Camo Motoko.

I really really want a Motoko Kusanagi in the Fraulein line, either the SAC or SAC2 versions. And a Batou in the main line wouldn't hurt too. Hei from Darker than Black would be nice too Revoltech Yotsuba to be released tomorrow in Japan!

I'm sure there'll be at least a Max and Miriya repaint, it would be too good an opportunity to miss! Maybe in a two pack with an optional clasped hands part like the Ultra Magnus release But yeah, destroids and enemy mecha would be cool... so far no news though.

Just got mine (and Black getter!) from a local shop today. Yep, the joints are white.

New trailer for Palisen files... Wow, that amphibious assault looks pretty awesome: http://www.votoms.net/pailsen/special/index.html

actually, I thought it looked more like the NES-1 from KISSDUM...

Wow given how expensive living in Tokyo is...he's got a good thing there... I've been following his blog, apparently the character he created, Mirai, is getting it's own anime by Production IG. Whatever you think of him, he's really doing well as a non-Japanese otaku in Japan.

I enjoyed it a lot. Frenzy was better than expected, reminded me of a gremlin on crack! Loved the bit when the protoforms came to Earth, and the introduction of the autobots. Could have done with more interactions between the Decepticons though the scene between Megs and Starscream was classic Transformers. That scene when SS took down the F-22s made me wish for more in the sequel... wouldn't it be great if Jetfire was in the next movie, and he just happened to scan a retired F-14? Jetfire vs SS, F-14 vs F-22... the closest we'd get to live action macross zero/plus!

Oh wow, Bandai's plamo 1/20 Scopedog looks excellent, check out RunChickenS's coverage: http://happy.ap.teacup.com/runchickens/498.html Looks like it'll come with photo-etched parts too! And... are those round cylinders shell casings?

Managed to find a pic of the Tread from Shizuoka. Nothing new, looks like the same resin proto we've seen befrore: http://ga.sbcr.jp/g-toys/46shizuoka/04/25.html

Why ripoff? Actually the more recent news in the past few months have not mentioned anything about magnet action, and the box itself doesn't say anything too. Me, I managed to pick up a VF-1S, CF and Angel Bird. Quality's ok for the price, but the seam lines can be quite distracting on the nose cone. And yeah, my CF landing gear doors are matched to the brown on the CF, so no complaints about that too. Decals are nice, only complaint are the decal sets for the VF-1As (CF and Angel Bird). They're the same, and come with 2 sets of numbers 1-5 for the tails. BUT! while one side is slanted correctly to fit the tail, the other is slanted by mirror imaging, so the numbers are reversed! :doh: The provided stand is good too, comes with a ball and socket at the top so there's lots of ways that you can angle the valk. Cockpits are also nicely detailed though they lack any color other than grey. All in, not bad for the SG$10.90 (approx US$7) I paid for my 3 blind boxes

Yup only the standalone Ghost has been released. According to the Yamato website, the set's still not out yet, so prob still no cause for worry http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1010

Nice! I think the white on the shoulders and chest of the GBP complement well with the white of the VF-1, better than the low vis actually.

Anyway, it's out according to amiami, lotsa pics in the link http://www.amiami.com/shop/?vgForm=Product...ate=review.html Box contents from 1999.co.jp: http://www.1999.co.jp/image/10053519p/10/1

Well, according to this: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1011 it does come with the parts for use the VF-0A and VF-0S Also the street date from the link is...発売日　2007年4月27日 予定 27 Apr... tomorrow!

I haven't seen this anime being discussed on the boards so thought I'd start a new topic for this. Gigantic Formula's similar to G Gundam, in that wars are fought using duels between mecha. The story's focused on Suwa and Japan's Gigantic, the Susanoo 10, and presumably will follow his duels with the other mecha What's really interesting about this anime is that list of mecha designers. Yup, each mecha is designed by a different guy, and the list reads like a who's who list of big names, among them: Ikuto Yamashita - Eva Junya Ishigaki - G Wing/FMA Kanetake Ebikawa - Vandread/Yukikaze Katsushi Murakami - Macross/Gunbuster Kazutaka Miyatake - Macross Kimitoshi Yamane - SEED/Escaflowne Kunio Okawara - Gundam Shoji Kawamori - Macross Takeshi Takakura - Appleseed Yasuhiro Moriki - Nadesico Yutaka Izubuchi - CCA So far the first two eps have been about Susanoo vs China's Xuan Wu Shen (designed by Miyatake), pretty cool battles and a great sountrack. Susanoo's design is a bit underwhelming, looks a lot like a SRW design, but Xuan Wu Shen is unique! The only disconcerting thing so far is the character design. It's pretty diff from what we're used to, especially the large red circles on the cheeks when the characters blush! Anybody else following this?

Wow, looks like Bandai's jumping on the Votoms bandwagon too. Check out the June relaese of a 1/20 Scopedog kit http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~midori-b/newpic/nes-g0721.htm

Thanks David! Sounds good, Max has always been my favourite ever since I watched Robotech many many years ago, really leaning towards getting that instead of the SV-51!

I had just finally decided on getting the SV-51 when this got announced... argh, gotta decide... The blue and red colors on the M&M valks, are they painted on or are they molded in color? I would have thought painted on but it seems like quite a large area for a paint app, almost the entire valk!

Thanks! Wow, you're right, looks really good. Production visuals look top-notch.... it's got missle-spam too!

This was posted on another forum I visit... From Tokyo Anime Fair: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/the...l/engageuh3.jpg Oooh, they've got a working model/toy already?

Is that a VF-11 booster in your jeans, or are you just happy to see me?

Me, well I'd like a more 'real' world color, something like the VF-0A or Berkut dark grey colours would be nice. Next would be a VF-19A. I kinda like the smurfy, sky blue colours! I like the design of the YF-19, but still holding on a getting one cos I don't really like the current beige colours
