Anubis

Back in my dorm days in the AF, I always kept some Ramen noodles or MRE's handy in case I missed the chow hall. Ramen noodles used to be a Staple in my diet. Still have them occasionally. 45 cent meal=hell, yeah!!!

That would be pretty cool.

Millia looks dead on, but I do think Max's blue is a little too light. Should have been darker like the 1/60 or better like DYRL's blue stripe. That would have looked badass.

You noticed that, too? I've said all I'm going to say on the names topic (still don't agree really with changing them, but that could be an endless debate) on to the next topic, I would love to see some actual CG renderings one day of these Eva's outside of the concept art. The mecha and city design look very impressive, they're doing that right so far. For that, I am thankful they are putting a lot of detail attention. The melted Unit 00 even has it's hand melted to the bone. Harsh. Nerv's command center looks awesome. Individual toes on the eva's armor? May take a little getting used to. One thing I noticed is it looks like they haven't decided what to call the city yet, wether they're going to use Tokyo-3 or not. The city pics kust say New City and Old City for the partially submerged outskirts. Wonder if they will still have the geofront underneath, or just a huge base.

I understand the caucasian with Japanese name argument, and it is true for a live action movie, but if they need to change the names, at least use something westernized that is similar to the original, not just something pulled out of a hat. At least for the primary cast. It's fine for the kiddie shows on WB to have the names completely changed. Who cares given the target audience. But for something aimed towards a specific group (anime fans), who can be by definition picky (I'm guilty there myself at times), and being a live action adaption of a perrenial essential collection favorite, they should be careful to stick as close to source as possible if it is going to be successful.

The megaroad itself is a fixed vessel.

That's a relief to see at least. Still a looooong ways away though regardless.

You seem to be a little anti-lady today Ahnold's bicep is ok, but not Millia, Minmei, or a valk-girl? I think a good valkgirl would be great, but the problem remains: which one?

LOL! Looks like it! Like I said before, HLJ and other Japanese sites are the places to go for scoops, not MW. Anyways, it's good to see more TV Valks get released. With the exception of the CF, the 1/48 releases closely mirror the 1/60 release order. I don't know...... We'll see in a few days if Graham still shows us his mystery pics at the planned date wether this was the big secret. Something tells me no but we'll see. It's still good news either way.

OK, OK, fine, no Millia <_< How about the valkgirl idea (really would make it valkgirl year), or little valk Roy 1S? While I like the stalking soda machine as much as anyone else, to actually display that as our mascot would be...too wierd IMPO. To bring this back up again, putting one of the Zentraedi guys in this pose would still be be pretty good, too. At least to see, even if we don't use it.

I bet that's a chick magnet. I cold see a Decepticon or a UN spacy sticker. Maybe. But that would be the absolute limit. Repainting your car like that is rather...excessive. The dedication involved deserves its credit though.

"Misato" looks like complete crap. I really hope they change the names back to the way they're supposed to be. Even slightly modified like Max suggested would be...acceptable. Grudgingly, but acceptable for movie purposes. There is no excuse for changing Asuka to Kate Rose, Misato to Susan, and Rei to Ray (why even change the spelling there). Some questionable decisions there. Nerv and the Eva's, on the other hand, look pretty damned sweet. They used a much better concept artist for those than they did with the girls.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!! No way in hell I can afford them, but I am very happy to see them coming. May the next one be a CF finally. The 1/60 D model is back too at HLJ.

Should be around $105 after shipping if you get one from Tam.

Very good Millia.

Another option could be a Valkgirl, though it might be too hard to pick just one to use.

Yeah, bake_art has some really good pics. Love his valkgirls. Is this too racy for a mascot? His best Millia so far.

What about them?

A nice one it is, too. One without the helmet would be a little better though I think.

Lest side came out much clearer

My Hikaru 1A's intake cracks: Pic 1 Behold my piss-poor attempt to use model cement to fix it a while back. I'll remove what I can before I try my next option.

Ahahaha! (Go here if you don't get it...) LMAO Thanks. That brightened my day.

BewareOfBlast, or one of our other talented artists: Draw us a good flight suit Millia! Please. We need an actual mascot candidate pic to propose. Anyone draw up a Buddy Britai or Exedol yet as well? Even if they don't win, they would be funny to see.

Judging from how the thread was removed, I would say it was time to drop the subject until Graham actually shows the pics. The mysterious posting that was linked to could have been false or could have had some measure of truth, but either way, it immediately would have led to severe headaches for Graham for the remaining week. The UNCONFIRMED "hey guess what" aspect totally changed the dynamics of the thread. Maybe something was touched upon, maybe not, but it went from innocent speculation to backing Graham into the corner for info on a dime. It's probably best for now that the thread is gone. Too much fuel got tossed into the fire at the end, and with a full week to go, would have become problematic. Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Is it true? Is it this? Would have continued from the point it ended and on if it didn't disappear. We can all savor what the news is when Graham shows the pics next week. Until then, I wait, and am thankful for the Q-rau and GBP armor at least. Those of you who did not participate in the thread towards the end, please don't ask about it, nothing was substantiated, and is probably safest left alone for the sanity of all.

IF I was an RT fan, I would be kind of lit at the triple dip into my wallet, and would have asked why the hell didn't they issue a remaster box instead of the single brick release they cranked out last year.
