I don't think this is going to be a large release to begin with, so any sales numbers outside Japan would be significant.
-
I feel like playing a horn to make it dance out of a basket, as I put it in a trance.
-
Nice collection there. Makes me miss my old setup from back in 07, before all the super pretty stuff.
-
You know what will be really funny? To find out just how far off base we all are in our expectations (more or less). I have things I'd like to see in this, but what I really want more than anything, is simply quality. They put great characters into a great story and have bonuses of mecha action in it, I'm good as fresh gravy.
-
I really want to get this, but as I'm saving up for a possible trip to Japan this year, I'm not sure if I am going to get it. I'd be sold for certain, if it had dub or even the US Renditions dub attached to it, like Plus did with their BD. That said, as I doubt that will happen, I'll probably stick to my US Manga release and wait and see if this release gets any less as time goes.

It's limited in each individual post. You can probably post them as you go, and have no issues.

The mounting parts are slightly different, enough to where if you want the original to work, you would need to do some work on remaking the connectors. The overall size of the first Yang is significantly larger than the new one. I think putting the old head on the new one would make him look like an olive on a toothpick. I'm just gonna work with the back side of the old Yang. See what I can do with that.
-
All I'm gonna say is, WOW!!!
-
Definitely not made for someone like me.... a male.

Yep, just got mine in as well, and I must say, it's a beauty. To address a couple of the people who hit the panic button when a piece of lint flies past their face, it's a solid toy. I've inspected mine, and there seems to be no issues with mine. The feet shouldn't be a problem unless you absolutely have to extend, and keep the feet extended, and the color of the diecast parts and plastic is uniform throughout. I did try the fold booster Yang, and alas, he's quite larger than the new version, and barely fits in the rear seat. The rear canopy doesn't close all the way with him in the back seat, so, unless you trim the part where he sits, he won't fit back there. I may end up doing that, as I like that version much better.
-
I'm not one to make suggestions, especially on someone's project, and you probably know better, but have you tried maybe recessing the part where the arm connects with the base, to integrate the into a more distinct kite symbol?
-
I have my old Yang and the fold booster set ready to test when I get mine in today. It's on the way. Any transforming vids up yet?
-
If these end up working well enough, I will get a few as well. BTW, that material are they printed in?

Macross World Podcast - feedback & comments
Jasonc replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I like the podcasts so far. Not really any suggestions at this point, as I haven't thought of it, really. I do like the little sound bytes in between. You guys should put more of those in. -
MacrossWorld Convention 2014 Information Thread
Jasonc replied to KiriK's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
We're working on that. -
OK, it looks like these figures may have a bit of movement in them, and their legs don't look like they were cut off at the ankles. I consider that a definite bonus as well.
-
I know that rubber seal of the 0s that were on seemed to corrode on its own as well, which is what I think they were referring to. For some reason, my 0s never had the arm breakage. Even when I sold them, they were pretty solid. Still, after sometime, it freaked me out to transform them, so I sold them all.
-
I like it. I hope they have plugs for the screws and the holes, and I'd like to see the visor rounded like the Yamato helmet, but aside from those tidbits, it's looking great.
-
I'm pretty sure that's where I sent mine to.
-
You may want to use that email you were given, and ask them to send you the invoice. That's how they were doing it, and then just pay once the invoice is sent. I'm on my phone now, so looking it up fr me at this moment is a bit much. Sorry. Hopefully when I get home, if no one can confirm, I might be able to help.
-
I wonder how the "Analyzing" of the Speaker podcast transcripts is turning out, As we already knew, fantardom can really mess with some people's heads.
-
Most people usually want to see what's inside the cockpit and not have it next to black, so common sense decision to be able to showcase the figures inside would make sense on why the cockpit isn't tinted so dark. I prefer this approach much better. I'll be getting mine early next week, and I'm glad I never sold off the fold booster kit when I got rid of the v.1 19.
-
Will there be plugs to cover the screw holes shown in the pictures? Overall, I like the design. I would like to have seen the visor more rounded on the horizontal plane, like the Yamato helmet, but overall, looking very good. I thought about options as well. As it is more of a flight suit, I may just have one made out of a higher quality fabric, like Nomex, or some sort of proper fabric to get the right properties. As for the hard parts, I have 1/4" large styrene sheets that can be baked for 30 seconds, and then formed over a contoured piece and over whatever to make the proper shapes. The ankle pieces should be easy, but the forearm pieces will require some work. The backpack will be the easiest of the hard pieces, as well as the belt. That's probably where a wallet can go, Hahaha.

These are great, Darrin, wish I had the funds too. I didn't expect, between the Masei helmets, the 19, the Prophecy, the Tornado packs, and the Isamu 29 parts, that I'd be spending so much, so fast. Not only that, I've been working on finishing up projects of my own, which has been kicking my behind. love the pics, too. They look great. It only makes it that much more difficult that I can't afford them.

I really don't care if they did a reboot or continued on with the series. It'd be even more interesting, if they did a series based off the Macross 30 game. Either way, I'm just excited about this news, and am excited to see this unfold as it happens, and more is announced along the way. This would be interesting, and I hope that Arcadia would get the license, considering their quality.
