THAT is one of my top 5 movies of all time. I recommend it to people and that look at me very strangely... As for the Beast Build Up - I N C R E D I B L E ! Put a 1/60 VF-1 V2 in the next shot for scale !
-
Understood - sounds good...

For anyone who wanted a Megahouse Yellow but could not find one, this person seems to have several. You should be able to get one for around $60-$70. I've seen them go for as much as $130. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330862617728?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Yahoo Japan has a bunch for around 35,000 yen...

If you're doing resin kits, and you want to put a metal pin between the major pieces - what's good for that? It should be barely bendable correct? So you can drill the hole in each part, then put them together, bend it into exact position and super glue in place?

Hopefully M&M valks and TV Super Parts. Phalanx Kit or full Toy. VF Lighting Flashback Version...

Wonder if you could get away with 1/12 for the Fuke and could display it next to a 1/10 beagle. Since its the female issue armor maybe it was more petite!

VOTE AGAIN for SOC Dangaioh! A Studio Halfeye version finally came up on Yahoo Japan and it went for $1,000 - yikes ( ! ) -
Yep - that was my vote: SOC Dangaioh Although I do not have a SOC item, the Bandai SPEC line has impressed me immensely with its quality. A transforming super-hi quality Dangaioh with lots of metal would be sweet. Twice the size of the SPEC line. LeChuck said above Dragonar - 'non stylized'? LC - if you do not have have the new D1 and Falguen SPECs get those - they are INCREDIBLE! As for a few others mentioned -- Robot Spirits just came out with dandy looking Dunbine and Billbine - so that dream is answered. And RS had a L-Gaim Mark I to go with the Mark II. And Bandai SPEC also has a Mark I. As for Galient, this is my favorite collectable still, and it has some pretty fierce competition: http://www.ebay.com/...=item27cd7ea4e7 It is a 'dream mech' - it has been made, as well as a mech can ever be made I think. Here it is next to my Max factory Dragonar for scale...

If anyone is short on budget and wants to go in together, I just want the effects. We could split the cost and you keep the figure! Probably will not get any takers on that though...
-
Looks SWEET! But do inside the cannon barrels black. Maybe you did and the flash is blowing it out...
-
Is My Little Pony getting more responses these days than mecha stuff?? ARG Anyway - that massive samurai badguy mech featured in that Dragonar clip was proto-typed by Bandai. The Gilgazamune! Not sure I would have bought it, but maybe -- given the high quality of the SPEC line. What a strange design. But its looking almost certain Bandai will not ever make this guy now...

I have several valks and the only loose one in that area I have is my Skull-1 re-issue with option parts. Will watch to see what others say...
-
Yep - Trapped in subway episode... If anyone is looking for the original T-Rex saddle bags, they rarely surface: https://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-b143372753

Not sure, but if that's what is HAS to be than I'll take it. As I've said before, if they want to sell oodles all they have to do is mold a simple 2 part hanger chain-base to sell with the Spartan and Phalanx. Something that when put together gives you about a 12" deep by 36" wide area to display your Yamato goodies. Hopefully this will be announced at the next WF...

Somebody get this! She's wondering where her Beagle ride-armor is! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Robotech-New-Generation-Macross-Genesis-Climber-Mospeada-Rook-anime-cel-/181062974117?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2831baa5

NICE! You will enjoy these. Hope you detail up the Brutish. I have not yet but I really enjoy seeing that done. The Fyana figure is one of the nicest I have ever seen, hence the price often listed for her. Post some pics when you get them...
-
Bring on the Phalanx and Spartan!

That poster is where Toynami got the size of their feet!

Excellent display, so clean. It just begs to be walked over to and looked at more closely. IMO, when you keep space between each piece it makes them look more important, and more interesting. The human eye is not strained to decipher where one mecha starts and the other stops. ESPECIALLY for non-macross or scifi fans who do not know the designs like we do. If you get more kits get another display...
-
When do we get our first glimpse of the $$$ super secret Mospeada project ???
-
But back to Falguen - took a fresh look at this piece today and my admiration has not faded. Amazed. What an excellent effort. Even if you are not a Dragonar fan, if you ever see this below, say $80, pick it up. I have not seen much of the series but I enjoyed this crazy mecha action clip on youtube. You get to see Falguen join forces with the good guys against a giant Samurai mech! The giant bad guy fires an enormous purple missile from its crotch - Pffft... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svQkvmQAzBo 80s anime goodness. If only Masami Obari would have had mecha design control from the beginning in this series, rather than just be in charge of animating the opening...

I know this figure is as old as dirt now, but I just got it ($60). WOW - what a great piece. Amazing. Super high quality. Just the right materials and paint on each part. Tons of metal. Tight joints and lots of cool accessories. So nice. If you can pick this up at a bargain you will not be disappointed. And its an enemy mech! TOO BAD this line from Bandai is dying. Robot Spirits are nothing like these...

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DarrinG replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
L-Gaim subbed on youtube. I wasn't sure if I'd keep watching, but you do fall in love with the crazy characters, much like Mospeada. It was far more of a comedy than I expected. Love some of Mamoru Nagano's later designs for this series, none of which appeared until ep. 17, the Bat-Shu. See why Nagano was disappointed with what he did in L-Gaim because all the beginning mecha design STINK IMO. Some of the worst I've seen. I could not believe how bad they were and I got impatient waiting for the good mecha I've seen around to appear. He must have really got his groove on later in the series and that's what inspired him to refine that style for FSS. Around ep.15 its picked up and now I'm on 18. Looking forward to seeing the Mark II and the Temple Guards...

If they do, I will buckle and get one to display in fighter mode...
