Toonz Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Like I said to someone some time ago.... this is custom fit... for a japanese midget sized head. You gaijins don't have hope on getting it to fit your heads.... not even if you butter it up. Maybe Phatslappy isn't getting it for himself! Maybe its for a little "bedroom fun" Later that evening Phatslappy: "Now, you have to pretend your name is Minmei. I put the orange sheets on the bed, and we will call that the Super Ostrich...." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Quote

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Kekekekekekekeke! ROFLMAO!!!! B) If she plays along with this.... she would be one heck of a partner. Quote
Extra Large Mumma Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Methink those who see the YF-19 in that pic really know their valkyries! I saw it too, but wasn't sure. Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Methink those who see the YF-19 in that pic really know their valkyries! I saw it too, but wasn't sure. Actually.... it wasn't very hard at all. The leg thrusters are really hard to miss there. Quote
Radd Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Now if it turned out that the $1,300+ was for an entire Hikaru flightsuit, that would make a lot more sense. Still out of my price range, though. Quote
Bub Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Regarding the VF-1S Hikaru Strike in the back ground, does anyone smell if Yamato will release this packaged with the the fast pack? Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Regarding the VF-1S Hikaru Strike in the back ground, does anyone smell if Yamato will release this packaged with the the fast pack? Nope. Same deal, toy and fps separate. You only see them with fps because it would make sense to promote them with the fps too. Quote
Myersjessee Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 If she plays along with this.... she would be one heck of a partner. The Macross fans dream girl! She's already worked out a song for later on that evening! Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 ....is that a YF-19 I see? Hmmm???? Where do you see the YF-19? It's been three years. I really miss it. GreenGuy42 will have to let me know to b/c I don't see any sort of YF-19FP in that picture (Yamato's anyways). The partial flightsuit and helmet look absolutely great though....it's too bad they didn't get a Hikaru look alike to cosplay it. That'd pretty damn cool IMHO. I didn't say FP, just YF-19... It's probably a Hasagawa, however, with the 1S and that silly cosplay thing both being new Yamato releases, I can only hope... Quote
kensei Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Being asian i would have expected to fit in that thing...but after going to the gym for a few years....damn that thing looks small. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Kekekekekekekeke! ROFLMAO!!!! B) If she plays along with this.... she would be one heck of a partner. Did you just say "kekeke"? <_< Vostok 7 Quote
Mechamaniac Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 at full size, the least they could do is build some cheapo LED's and stuff into that chestplate, rather than the el crappo painting they have on there. Hell, for that matter, and if they were to offer this for sale, they should make the shoulder bars light up too!. Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Â Â Â Kekekekekekekeke! ROFLMAO!!!! Â B)Â If she plays along with this.... she would be one heck of a partner. Did you just say "kekeke"? Vostok 7 Ya know, that's what I was wondering, too..... Quote
Vostok 7 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Ya know, that's what I was wondering, too..... that Abombz is a tricky one sometimes. Her email subject lines to me used to have in them. Tricky tricky. Vostok 7 Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I just noticed something; shouldn't the helmet have a tinted visor? Quote
phatslappy Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I wish I had a chick to use it on...hell I don't even have an orange sheet to use as a superostrich....so no...the helmet is indeed for me. for me to put on when I watch my ROBOTECH DVDs. Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 IIRC, the helmet is ¥158,000. If anybody is seriously crazy enough to want to burn that sort of money on a helmet, then perhaps Monkey-N (formely Monkey Nugget on the old forum) can help with ordering it as he is living in Japan. I imagine for that sort of money, he would need payment up front though. Graham Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I just noticed something; shouldn't the helmet have a tinted visor? Commander McBride, you have nearly 300 posts already!!!! You post junky you Graham Quote
phatslappy Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 damn! that's like 1350 dollarS! hmmm....maybe I will have to forgo the helmet. Quote
pfunk Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 That helmit would be cool for paint ball role playing, i wouldnt want to take a 1300 helmit through the mud though,,,, My fience sure as HELL would go for the orange sheets, she just rolls her eyes when she walks past the computor room watching the collection get bigger and bigger Quote
Rune Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Now if it turned out that the $1,300+ was for an entire Hikaru flightsuit, that would make a lot more sense. Still out of my price range, though. Yeah, thats just to much money I can use to spend on more doubles and such. Quote
Stormrider Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Don't we all? Maybe.... I would prefer a YF19... but I guess I could settle for a VF1. I'd rather have a -19 myself, complete with the Monster-slaying External Weapons Module! B) I mean, who wouldn't? Quote
Smut Peddler Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I could never fork over that kind of money for novelty item, even if it came with the shoulder pads, but it does look cool. Quote
rocco_77 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 The price is a little steep... but if you consider the cost of a good motorcycle helmet, then is almost seems right for such a custom piece.... I agree the shoulder pads being included would pretty much make it worth the money. They should light up or something though... A good motorcycle helmet can cost you upwards from $350 USD. I wonder what the inside of the helment looks like, and how heavy it is? I would get it and the shoulder pads if I was a wealth man.... but alas.... I AIN'T! Quote
RainBot Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) All this prop stuff looks nice, but I would have nowhere to put it, and I'd be beaten senseless if I wore it grocery shopping. I personally would kill for a Robotech baseball hat. Anyone know where I can find one? Edited August 25, 2003 by RainBot Quote
