Noriko Takaya Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 No, it's not stiff and brittle. The quality is actually very good, and the image is soft and bends easily when you fold the shirt. No cheapy here.
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Sweet shirt! Do anyone have any news about any upcoming books or products?
akt_m Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 What is the most visually accuracted Gunbuster toy? Can anyone point me where i can find good pics of it?? thx!
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) you should join and check out the yahoo gunbuster groups! lots of pics for the gunbuster toys and other items over the years. oh and imo the SHE Gunbuster is the best gb "toy". Edited July 30, 2009 by Fortress_Maximus
Noriko Takaya Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 I cannot believe that you would not recommend my website The Gunbuster Index. Shame on you. I have pics of toys and such.
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Ah! Apologies Noriko! Your site is also linked in the Yahoo Gunbuster group. But yes I completely agree your site is an excellent GB resource to all!
wolfx Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 you should join and check out the yahoo gunbuster groups! lots of pics for the gunbuster toys and other items over the years. oh and imo the SHE Gunbuster is the best gb "toy". What makes you say that? The SHE Gunbuster is small and kinda loses out to the SOC one.

Just gathering pictures now.
Hiriyu Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 You guys might enjoy this... Not quite a high-poly 3D model, but this is a GunBuster model I made a while back in Spore. There were a few other users who had decent Buster Machine models - if you have the game, it's worth a search. gunbusterlf.bmp gunbusterr.bmp
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 What is the most visually accuracted Gunbuster toy? Can anyone point me where i can find good pics of it?? thx! Check page 43 for pics of all the toys together.
TheLoneWolf Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I cannot believe that you would not recommend my website The Gunbuster Index. Shame on you. I have pics of toys and such. Holy crap! Noriko, you're too modest. Your site is amazing, you practically have a complete Gunbuster product listing dating from way back. All Gunbuster fans should take a look.
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 What makes you say that? The SHE Gunbuster is small and kinda loses out to the SOC one. Crap! you are absolutely right! the SOC is awesome but i like both.
Noriko Takaya Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 For your general information, some of you guys have asked why I never included a page on my site for the science lessons. Well, I'm adding one. Instead of just giving my account of the physics of the Gunbuster universe, I'm posting the actual video for reference for those interested. Kind of like a video lecture class. It'll be cool for those interested.
akt_m Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Check page 43 for pics of all the toys together. It really doesn't help, they all look like gunbuster. But how do i know which one is more accurate? I already did one low poly model, it is avaliable at turbosquid, but isn't good. Edited August 5, 2009 by akt_m
Keith Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I was just going through some old links, and re-discovered these. both songs fit the scenes scarily well.

However if you are looking at the older models start here: http://home.comcast.net/~valkyrie2036/gunbuster/models.html and http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuster-Models.html then move onto http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuster-Toys.html also check out detailed pics of the various GB toys and figures at the Yahoo Gunbuster2 group, if you haven't joined you should do so! Ultimately, I think a lot depends on your budget and how patient you are. Many of the older models and GB toys are not readily available so it may take awhile. Happy hunting!

danth Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I watched Gunbuster a little while ago and I have a question. What's with the science of Gunbuster? They talk about ether in space, which is an old, disproved theory. Is that a joke? Are the science lessons there to teach fake science or real science? They just confused me. The idea of black-hole powered technology is awesome, by the way.

The idea of black-hole powered technology is awesome, by the way. Yeah, a lot of the science in Gunbuster is farcical. However some of it is based in real science. Time dilation, for example, is one part of Einstein's theories of relativity. And black holes being used to power technology is not new to science fiction. The TARDISes used in the British series Doctor Who are powered by a black hole which was transported to Gallifrey by the first Time Lord Rassilon.

I mean i want reference photos of the most accurate gunbuster model/toy for a 3d model. I'm not going to buy one... I have no idea which one is better from the picture. That's why i'm asking here for the experts. C'mon Noriko Takaya, you have all the toys, and own a gunbuster website, which one you think is the best?? Edited August 6, 2009 by akt_m

I have no idea which one is better from the picture. That's why i'm asking here for the experts. C'mon Noriko Takaya, you have all the toys, and own a gunbuster website, which one you think is the best?? In my opinion, the most accurate of all the models of the Gunbuster would be the SHE figure. But at $500 I am not putting mine together as it is so fragile I'm afraid I'll break it. Those guys over at SHE did such a wonderful job with the design and moulding. You can tell they put a lot of work into it. Second would be the Soul Of Chogokin toy, but being as it's just that, a toy, it's kind of bulky in places to allow for the transformation. I would also say that maybe General Products original resin kit would be accurate, because afterall they did the design work on the mecha being as they were the modelling arm of Gainax in its infancy. As for those interested, the Science Lesson page is up. Will have to work on it, and I am not super-deforming myself. God knows my eating habit has already done that to me. Please be patient and allow all videos to load. Sorry if your connection speeds are slow for some of you, but I wanted these things high quality. And don't ask me why I used Quicktime format. I couldn't get multiple flash videos to work for some reason. Linky thing: http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuste...ce-Lessons.html

The idea of black-hole powered technology is awesome, by the way. Yep, there's a lot of real science mixed in with 'wrong' science, along with other crap they just made up And actually, a while back, there was a group who fansubbed Gunbuster, and they got a physics professor to watch the show, and comment on the science aspects. The result is a very interesting read! Physics_Professor_Commentary.txt
chen Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 That's a pretty cool read, and considering Gunbuster is 20+ years old now and is a "cartoon" it's nice they actually did quite a bit of research.
nugundamII Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Thought I would post my pic of the two of the greatest SOCs
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Some disconcerting news. ANN reports that Noriko Sakai, singer of Active Heart, is missing after her husband's arrest on drug charges. Apparently she left her son with a friend and turned off her phone ("She apparently turned her phone on once last night and they tracked the signal to Yamanashi which is leading people to think she's headed to Jukai which is a popular place to commit suicide..." says one ANN poster). Despite the alarmists suggestions, I'm hoping she turns up okay. Apparently, there's a warrant out for her arrest too. Edited August 7, 2009 by Mercurial Morpheus
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Apologies. I didn't figure it would be posted outside this thread which I already had open in another tab. Edited August 7, 2009 by Mercurial Morpheus
Fortress_Maximus Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 IMO it helps to add any and all Gunbuster news to this primary thread , since other threads tend to get closed, derailed, or buried. But back on topic those GB pics look great!
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Puzzles me why no one has made highly articulate figures of Nono from Diebuster or a diecast version of Dix Neuf.
Keith Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Puzzles me why no one has made highly articulate figures of Nono from Diebuster or a diecast version of Dix Neuf. Damn a posable Nono figure all buster machine'd out would be sweet. Spinning leg lasers & all.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Give Gainax time. They'll get to it.
wolfx Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Puzzles me why no one has made highly articulate figures of Nono from Diebuster or a diecast version of Dix Neuf. There is...and i'm a proud owner of one. http://www.plastica.jp/gallery/nono/nono.html welll ok its actually a resin kit but its niceeeee.
