It wil not be too expensive depending on the number of colors and size. Can someone scan the original sheet of the jokemachine?

It is hard to say, the quality of the CM's figures look very similar to bootlegs. The bootleg Minmey doll looks fine, after all, it is not hard to replicate.

I see there is still a demand for joke machine stickers. I can make the sheets and sell them if Solscud007 lets me use his design sheet.

Yeap, the 1/55 will always be my beloved toy. Hey, those are really old pictures; don't remember the year(perhaps 1998) Thanks Nam for keeping those. I remember that I used a cheap digicam for the Max (that's why it looks so blurry) but for the Super Hikaru I put the valk on my scanner and the pictures came up neat

He has awesome skills transforming faces. Look at the face of Belldandy transformed into Minmey chinese face:

According to the web page the model was improved or customized. I think it is a scratch-built model. Cute face, legs look nice too!!!

I will make stickers for the Alphas as soon as I get the toy.

That bothers me too. The much hair on top too and the legs are too skinny. In my opinion, the only sculptures that are really good ones are from CMs. The face of Minmey and Misa are as close as the anime. And I love the beefy legs on Minmey

They say that when you paint a vinyl kit with enamel, the paint won't dry. Well, I did not know that and painted a vinyl figure without priming using a testor spray can and the paint not only looks fine, it dried very quickly. I then painted another vinyl figure with enamel using an airbrush. The paint feels a bit sticky but it is holding well. Now, I am afraid coz my next figure is really huge (24 inches tall) and I don't know what paint to use. I don't want to ruin such a big figure, so please let me know what should be the best thing to do. Should I use an acrylic primer or enamel primer?

I just got Misa, Focker and the Cockpit figure on the mail. I am very upset The sculpts are very nice, but the painting is simply horrible. I don´t know if you guys got the same painting quality, maybe the first batch of figures were flawless. I think the guys who painted my figures got bored and careless, I even have some paint dots and misplaced brush strokes There should be a label in every box saying: Warning!!!, serious fixing and painting required

Looks very elegant, but how much are we talking here? 200 bucks or perhaps more with shipping

Yeap, Sharon Apple was kind of a "fantastic" Macross Plus addition but not like this one

Resuming my previous post, I just wanted Macross Zero to be more like Macross Plus I am included on the fans that don't like fantastic elements on Macross. I believe it's the first time we see a flying rock aircraft

Just watched Ep 4 and did not like it The story gets even more complicated. Ep 1 was excellent, lots of action scenes. Ep 2: good action scenes (dog fights too fast for my taste) a bit of nudity Ep 3: less action scenes, plot starts to get complicated. Ep 4: almost no action scenes, I got lost on the story I just don't like how Sara has these weird powers of making things fly and how Macross Zero has become a weird prequel of Macross. At first I thought we were going to see how the SDF-1 was rebuilt, the story behind the vf-0, and a more interesting plot that connects to the original macross series. But none of this is in Macross Zero. Macross Zero is becoming a good prequel of Macross II lovers again

Very interesting custom, and the grey looks perfect on this variation.

I thought it was a life-size figure (reading the post info)

That is a fantastic custom. Yamato should manufacture the Q-Rau like yours. That would be worth the price.

Thanks for the pictures!!! Looks good to me. I read the quality of the figures had diminished but this cockpit deserves a place in my shelf

Please somebody put a close up picture of the cockpit. I want to see the interior and all the details. I really like the cockpit but I am not sure if its worth 30 bucks.

If it´s a copy of the renewal, I suggest to sell the old collection. The Renewal DVDs look incredible and the DD5.1 is amazing.

I usually don´t post much on the forum but your pictures made me write a few lines. Probably your best work so far, you deserve an award for this one. I wonder how much it could reach on ebay.

Oh no, I love the new figures and specially the cockpit one. But even these rubber figures are costing big bucks . Absurd prices makes me angry

I haven't gotten mine yet but seeing the pictures, the clear fastpacks are not 100% clear. I see blur on them. How are these compared to clear parts for the perfect grade Gundam?

I am interested but, could you post a close-up picture to see the quality of the recast as well as the new details on the helmet. And another one with the arms attached.

Is there any japanese site that shows 1/48 customs like Macross World? I see many pictures of beautiful custom hasegawa models from Hobby Japan and Model Graphix. I wonder what the japanese macross modelers can do with the 1/48.
