Prometheus - on Blu-Ray and DVD Oct. 9, 2012
DarrinG replied to Pizza the Hutt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hmmm - interesting. You're saying that the Space Jockeys or other 'creators' could have simply made those eggs? (talk about a chicken and egg mystery!) And you're saying Ridley might not acknowledge Aliens and the concept behind how the Queen lays the eggs in that movie? Seems like that would be documented somewhere as to whether he accepts Camerons work as cannon for the Alien universe. I hope he does. But no matter. If whatever it is can create life, then they could have just as well made the eggs first. But why were they in that vessel or monument then? Can't wait for the movie! How 'soon til june?'... -

But what if the eggs were laid after the ship (monument?) tipped over? Queen Aliens are smart enough to know that future scripts will bring unsuspecting humans right where she wants them... -

I guess just because Ripley said it was a space craft doesn't mean it was one... -

Looks to me like the derelict space craft is the same one from Alien, and can be seen falling over on its side in this preview. I think we all agree on that right? Or did someone say they wondered if they were different? The Space Jockey head on the examining table?? I'm there... -
Poll- Which Macross/Robotech mecha would you like to see
DarrinG replied to Maiden Japan's topic in Toys
Nice that you even have a Gosu as your avatar. Don't change that until we until we have a vinyl Inbit in all our hands! -
Poll- Which Macross/Robotech mecha would you like to see
DarrinG replied to Maiden Japan's topic in Toys
Oh and PLEASE, please stagger the releases so that we do not get 2 (especially not 3) Gosu in a row. Fans get tired of essentially the same thing, release after release. "Mold-milking' is quite understandable, its the only way to make some of these small niche toys possible, but keeping customers interested by staggering things a bit should pay off. Maybe something like gray Gosu first, then a 2 pack of shock trooper and scout, then pink Gosu, then Gamo. Then end on a high note with the main baddy green Gosu (or put him first to kick off the inbits) If these are wildly successful you could do a pack of space scouts like I have here and other variations after that.... -

DarrinG replied to Maiden Japan's topic in Toys
Invids / Inbits in 1/48th to go with the masterpiece line. I would get multiples of any of the models... (although the red scout should come in a 3-pack because of the size) -
I'm in Yamato - bring on the Phalanx kit...
-
I'm in for the 1/60s! For sure the boom truck, gun-pod sled, jeep and a few others...
-
A picture of all your 1/60 accessories in this hanger would be worth 1,000 words though
-
How soon before the 1/60 vehicles, gun-pod carrier and deck crew?? Looking great...
-
F A N T A S T I C !
-
Nice progress, looking forward to its completion!
-
Yes - Glaug update please. I did buy the first pod, but not the next 2. If they produce the Glaug I will consider getting them both though...
-
Looking forward to getting this T-Yeti! Looking good. Post some photos whenever you get time of the detail on the walls, or just anything you think looks cool...

I've seen the Volks 1/8th kits a few times for sale - usually around $1,500...

Looks like WAVE will beat Yamato with their 1/72 version - looks great... Wish Yamato's 1/60 would be the same price...

Blue and white in Fighter, red Z version in Soldier standing beside it. I'd better start saving...

No Beagle Blow Superior... that blows superior...
DarrinG replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
JENIUS - Read the whole review again -you deserve much props for the work you do. Amazing. I think it bares noting again that Toynami somehow FORGOT to make their book-style binding art into one picture - ie having Scott's left elbow go over onto Rand's art, so that when you stack them all together it makes one image. Its obvious Rand is looking over at Scott - I just don't see how this is missed in production! Didn't matter that much in the end since we never got to see the Rook and Lancer versions where the mosaic image would have really stuck out. Baffling... Its even on the Rand card included! See attached pic!! Scott's arm covers up what I feel like is an awkward arm pose of Rand reaching for his gun too, which make me wish they hadn't missed this even more... The other thing that bugs me is Scott's face on the binding, it looks like a rabbit or hamster face. I have not heard that complaint from anyone else though. Speaking of faces - I feel like the Toynami head sculpts are FAR better the the Japanese releases. Ray looks like a Who from Whoville. Stick looks jaundice. The matt high end plastics Beagle used still cause me to grin everytime I look at the product. They NAILED the aqua and green colors so spot on. Love the little details like a Galant power switch seen so often in the show - awesome. Wish they would have made the boot middle lights and chest lights out of the same translucent plastic they did on ray's beam cannon. Still have hope that Yamato will pick up the work done on Fuke and start there - moving onto Yellow if that is successful for them. I bet they have the mold work and packaging already. Yeah, yeah - I know... that's like holding out that Ridley Scott will make another Alien movie - or we'll see a Blade Runner 2 - Oh wait... -

He has SUCH LITTLE FEET! (blazing saddles reference) -
For anyone ever interested in the Yamato 1/12 and does not have the Strong Bacchus model - there are several pretty cheap auctions going on in Yahoo Japan. Using RinkYa - even with fees and shipping, I bet you could get one for $40 to $50 bucks...

Can you have a few beers and let slip what you think will be next out of the studio? Or will you be like that coach who won't reveal the starting QB too soon before the game...
-
Nice Bacchus shot Alchemo! Love the photos on the black glossy surface... You don't happen to have any of those show exclusive 1/12 accessories do you? (like the tangling chains or tank treads) Or a line on where we can get them?

AWESOME PICS Alchemo! Looks like you still need the Strong Bacchus in your collection. Here's a few pics of a customized one I saw some time ago...
