    So, according to photos, we're either getting navy blue (too dark and saturated) with white (too light, and wrong), or royal blue (too light and bright, and very wrong) with light gray/off white (about right). Given the variability due to different cameras, lighting conditions, and background factors, it looks like we'll need to wait for people to start getting theirs and report on what the final colors truly are.

    I want to be proven wrong, but this has all the hallmarks of ending up as another Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

    I'd say forget about Arcadia re-releasing the YF-19 anytime in the next 2 years, if not longer, because the first run came out not too long ago, and, as jenius pointed out, Bandai is in the game with their VF-19 Advanced DX. Arcadia could, however, release a VF-19A Ravens in order to get more use out of the tooling, as long as they hold the licensing rights to allow them t do so, and the foresight to see that the demand is there.

    ^ Is it made of nougat?

    Whether a typo or not, that's just brilliant!

    Bail Organa orders the protocol droid's memory erased; I don't recall any such directive concerning R2, but I could be wrong.

    Light grey would've been ideal; at the very least they should've made the belly an off-white like Yamato's VF-0S. While it's impossible to tell for certain from the posted picture, I've a feeling you're right. The blue, however, although not perfect, looks a lot better than previous images would indicate, so I'm cautiously optimistic about the overall pallet.

    ^ If you mean better at siphoning copious amounts of cash from your wallet, then I agree with you.

    Regarding the 1/72 subjects, Bandai definitely could, but will they?... which is why I added "...unless Bandai decides to delve into..." to my second sentence. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to do so, although my wallet begs to differ, but I don't expect them to go there.

    Other than a couple more Gatlantis ships, haven't they run out of subject matter for 1/1000 line? And unless Bandai decides to delve into the Gamillas fighters and fighter bombers, maybe something from Gatlantis or Cosmo Navy, wouldn't that be the case for 1/72 as well?

    Kaiyodo has done some Disney Pixar stuff in their Revoltech line, but I would sure prefer anything Disney to be made by Max Factory/Good Smile under the Figma line. Here's the wish list I entered: 1) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Super Dimension Fortress Macross. 2) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Macross Plus. 3) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Macross Frontier. 4) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Space Battleship Yamato 2199. 5) Figma versions of all four Knight Sabers, in their respective armor suits, from Bubblegum Crisis and/or 2040, plus a Boomer. 6) Figma versions of Batou, Togusa, Aramaki, Ishikawa, etc. from GitS SAC to go with the recently released Major Motoko Kusanagi. 7) Figma versions of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, "Radical" Edward with Ein, Vicious, and Julia from Cowboy Bebop. Figma renditions of historical warriors: Spartan, Greek Hoplite, Roman Centurion, various Roman Gladiators (Murmillo, Secutor, Thracian, etc.), Samurai warriors, Shinobi, different versions of Medieval Knights, Templar Knight, Apache brave, Lakota warrior, Western frontier US cavalryman, etc. Do I expect any of what I've outlined to come to fruition? No, but I can dream, can't I?

    Happy to report that the annoying, mocking sound of chirping crickets has been replaced by the pitter-patter of nasty, and cute, little baby crabs. Awesome as always Cap'n.

    Here anime25k8, I saw that these have gone up for preorder on AmiAmi and thought of you... Too bad they're non-articulated and rather small, but the sculpts' resemblances to the characters are uncanny.

    It's the difference between shoestring TV production and Movie budget; think TOS Enterprise vs. Motion Picture Refit 1701... the same, but different.
  16. mechaninac
    Too bad the price of finding out firsthand is so high... but I'm game.
  17. mechaninac
    So far, no crabs, just crickets...
  18. mechaninac
    Crack is wack! ... What?... Too soon?
  19. mechaninac
    Still waiting for my crabs to show up.

    When collecting Macross merchandize, or anything else for that matter, in the end, that's the only thing that's truly important.
  21. mechaninac
    Wow! 2 1/2 years since any significant development. This production is moving right along...

    ^Seeing such fantastic aircraft turned into just so much burnt slag and scattered debris has got to hurt all the way deep into one's very soul, even if it's only a cartoon...
  23. mechaninac
    Figured this was as good a place as any to put this. It's DX; however, I'm uncertain if it's chogokin, but damn I want one ... if only it wasn't for that price. Mondo AmiAmi
  24. mechaninac
    That looks fantastic. You arguably left the best for last. I can't wait to get my set.

    ^ That's just so Bad-A$$... far nicer than the standard color pallet.
