Glad the new pics in Dengeki Hobby confirm what I had though. I'll need to recast the rear armor piece to hold the lance. I'll need some rework on mine.

Now, that's what happens when someone rolls a natural 20 on their Robotard damage there.

Can't wait for this one.

Nice, can't wait to get mine.

Yes, got mine as well. Solid, sturdy, and great tampo all throughout. Not big on the tail fins not locking into place and being so far back attached by only that tiny piece on the wings, but it's still a great toy.

Mine got here straight from Japan, and is now in customs in L.A. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.

Will do. I am on a slow process now, as I"m headed back into the workforce.

Mine is still in progress at NY, so all of you will have your before mine comes in.

Even then, I was quoted $289 with it painted.

Yeah, working away n the backpack.

Just a quick pic of the framing of these two. Absolutely love it. Had them put in UV protected Glass. Very happy with the way they turned out.

Thanks for all the pics. I like the fact that it actually looks like a beefy, "muscular" valk, instead of an anorexic girl trying out for a modeling job. It looks like that in the arms and the angles they put on it, as well as the upper body. Still not big on the tail fins sticking out as they do, but definitely better than my initial thoughts.

I wanted this done by the time MWcon came around, but it looks like that won't happen. If not, this kinda throws a wrench into that, but not a deal breaker for the cosplay.

NIce, I'm working on a DYRL cosplay as well. Just got all the foam stuff and the shoulder pieces just need to be put together. Working on the backpack now. Should be done hopefully soon.

I need to get on this (That what she said). I have all these extra armor parts to mix and match. Sadly, I have a feeling that this thread will be done when I finally get a chance to unwrap all the moving boxes. In any case, thanks all for putting up great pics. I want to put up some mix & match shots of the YF-25 Prophecy in what is supposed to be the Paladin sets. That will have to come when I can get settled.

I'm wondering why they now are saying that the painted versions will now be October, when originally they said if you order a medium size, they'd be ready in July/August. I hope the person who works for them can sort this stuff out in this thread. was counting on getting mine prior to October and in painted condition.

I have my email quotes given me by Masei. If they change it, I may have to get my deposit back for trying to pull a bait and switch.

If you're referring to Tommy Yune, he never graduated from Art Institute. At least that's what he mentioned when he was talking to another AI graduate and Macross fan back in 07.

Are there any updates on the release of the helmets?

Wasn't Kevin the one who snarked at people who asked where the money was going, when decent RT fans had concerns? I think he basically compared some campaigns and mentioned how they didn't say where all their funds were going. Yet, I point to this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/194429923/star-trek-axanar?ref=discovery Seems like a production that spells everything out properly and with well defined goals... AND........ the fans believe in it. I haven't been on their KS comments page in forever, but I was reading it yesterday and found it interesting that it's all about rights and more useless myths going on.

I wait soooo patiently. Hahaha.

Finally got around to finishing that YT video. It has more holes in it than swiss cheese, and totally ignores the fact that most of the fans that have gripes about the Kickstarter, are in fact, Robotech fans that don't want to support a half thought out piece of garbage by Tommy Yune. Yes, I said Tommy Yune, because I know Tom Bateman used to talk to Carl quite often, and when the conversation of Robotech would come up regarding Carl and what he was trying to work on, it wasn't this. He was working on what would've been sequels to Shadow Chronicles. As far as the idea of their LLA, That was something Carl had thought of doing well before it was done, when the lull in the franchise was maybe at its peak. In any case, what most people here have said makes a deal of sense. The idea that it's all Macross fans trying to kill his nostalgia and making him cry foul is simply not true. I also found that his idea that Robotech is better than the original source material is quite laughable. Sure, he's welcome to his own opinion, just like everyone is welcome to criticize his opinion, or lack of taste, or whatever you feel you want to. I personally couldn't careless about it. If he's happy that barely 2200 people in the entire world are backing a franchise that is supposedly a popular household name is great, more power to him. Maybe the fact that many of us are standing away from the picture, is the reason why we can see it on the whole for what it really is, and what's really wrong with it.

One way to kill a project on a Kickstarter, is to say that if the project fails, the show may still go on. IF that is indeed the case WHY THE F!@#$%$%^ WOULD YOU BOTHER TO FUND IT? I'm sure Frank thought "why spend my money when the fans can do it for me" but if it may still go on, fans should ask "Why spend my money when HG can do it for me." See how that works?

I had them on sale for quite awhile. Sold all of them, but they might be able to be found here, or at least on eBay for a decent price.

It already looks like a Macross knock off.
