I remember the feathers from the promo pics for Macross Zero as well. I think cotton makes for better clouds tho if that is what you are aiming for. I got the VF-0A and SV-51 (as well as YF-19) for Christmas this year too Nice display, coffee table and ankles.

The new mold for UM that isn't a repaint is for Animated, not Classics. Sorry about that - serves me right for double-checking against Wikipedia

Jazz was mentioned as one of the characters that Hasbro want to include but nothing beyond that. Maybe you're thinking of the concept line art for Animated Jazz. The only concept pics for Classics 2 (now Universe) I remember seeing are Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Octane. There was Cosmos as well but he's been canned. Prowl and a new mold for Ultra Magnus have been confirmed.

My return to the TF collecting was because of BT-01. A brilliant redefinition of the G1 charactrers, although that line as well as Alternators has had it's ups and downs. I also started collecting the MP series and have been happy with it so far. So kudos and props to HasTak for them. I think Cybertron gave us some good toys but the only ones I have on display are the legends figures because that's all I need to capture those characters - my few supreme and leader calss figures are now owned by my mate's children as I'm a firm believer that toys are to be played with, not stored MISB - my prerogative. I thought that the Classics line were good and had character, but I never saw a reason to collect it myself. Some of the 6" Titanium line looked good too. The only movie toy I have is BB08 because it is brilliant - an actual advancement in terms of use of the automorph gimmik - difinative proof that Hasbro can deliver when given an appropriate timeframe to develop a toy. It is however the Yamato Macross stuff that almost never gets removed from my modest display areas. My only real disappointment with that line is that it is mostly limited to the Valkyries. BTW - is there a term for toys that are aimed at adult collectors such as Binaltechs, Masterpieces and Yamato $200+ Fragile series? I always feel like a regressive geek referring to them as "toys"

It's a kinda tough choice but MH is winning out for me so far despite the small wheels, there is too much about CM's in armour mode that I don't like as much. I suppose there is still no news of Beagle's 1/10 entry? Even a release date? It would be a hard kick if it turns out to be superiour to the other three.

Has he considered a complimentary adult XXX DVD with every rental of Zelda? Otherwise loyalty programs or offers for new patrons.

Transformers at the Moon have uploaded a gallery of the Revoltech expo. TF@TM Revoltech 2007 Expo Let me cut to the chase for you ruskiiVFaussie

Mmmm... Revy Griffin Aqua(?) type. http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/008583/22.html .

I haven't seen them offered for a while. This is the guy I bought mine from, I got the gold and silver packs with the shipping cost halved: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=260135599942 Thats only 2 months old so maybe send him an email asking if he expects to get any more in. The hinges on the launchers are a bit loose, which is to be expected really, but the detail is fine. EDIT: I'm not sure that the canons will work on Hound. I had them mounted on Impretzas.

I do have 2 of those packs but I don't have a camera handy. They arn't official Hasbro/Takara products tho. This is a gallery of them. .

Yeah, Takara's I actually like the look of the CG figure, but it looks less like Deunan than the HT version.

There are two 1/6 versions being released at about the same time of Deunan. The 'Hot Toys" has the sculpted hair, the 'Yamato Cool Girl' version has the synthetic/real hair. Thanks for the pic EXO

There seem to be alot more reports of people breaking MP-3 SS and MP SS than MP-6 SW. I owm MP-3 and -6 and cant distinguish any difference in the plastic quality, but others seem to thisk that the SS toys are more brittle and prone to breakage. Personally I think MP-6 Skywarp is best. His black plastic is a bit too shiny but otherwise a great toy. I don't like the color of the green MP-3 or the black joints or scorch marks of MP SS.

The armoured valk makes alot of sense for a Rev figure 'cos it can't transform anyway. I think it depends how well the other 3 valks sell, they must have the liscence.

Oops, sorry. I Forgot this is a Revoltech thread. I didn't mean to mislead. It is considerably more expensive too.

Ingram 1, 2 & 3 Reactive Armor Version

Yes, it was drifand. here

They haven't been sighted here yet. HLJ.com will stock the Japanese release which may vary from the USA release and has been delayed untill Febuary.

What an informative post for the Macross World forums... [/sarcasm] I just don't seem to remember seeing that many "realistic" green f-15s whilst there are many light grey variations. I don't remember Starscream having tail fins coming from his ass either. The point was that the prototype looked better overall so why was it changed? There was no need for his involvement, the color removes any association with Starscream to the point that it looks more like a Macross mech rather than a sentient Transformer. I liked his involvement in many other projects - I do however own 2 MP-3s so it's not as if I don't like it, it's just that it doesn't look as much like Starscream as the prototype did. I also look forward to the anticipated MP-7 Starscream Animation version.

They look to be from the same sprue that includes the elbow and knee joints as well as possibly the nosecone. The plastic looks slightly different in those areas on MP-3, they dont have the same specularity/highlights of the larger pieces. Maybe they hijacked MP-6's mold, isn't he supposed to use different plastic type for the stress areas? Then why did Takara bring him in? I prefer the prototype mold as well (and color ) but they must have wanted him for other reasons than celebrity status - I gather he costs alot.

Cool Girl are releasing a 1/6(?) figure of Deunan as well. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/mamegyorai/137173 F2F have it up for preorder. It appears to be more expensive even with the 15% discount. I'm wondering if the anime head in the picture means that the figure will have a more accurate head sculpt? http://www.fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp.htm

It will be the same Classics style box as the USA release with one or two stickers authenticating it as a legitimate TF release for Japan. Basically the same deal as with the Japanese releases of the Movie toys. The USA edition release is due to hit TRU here in November.

That's the first part of the plan. Thing is that I don't think it's going to be easy to remove the burn marks without the panel lining coming off with it, which would create inconsistency. So the larger plan is to remove what I dont like and airbrush what I do. I'll be very happy if it's only $50 down here.

I dont want more, I want less - burn marks. Which would make him look more like he did on the show, most of the time.
