Graham Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 If any of our HK based members make a trip into China and spot the toys, any chance you could help pick me up one of the large ones, preferably the white or grey one, but also ok with other colors. Thanks in advance, Graham Quote

Ivan Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 The more I look at the animation, the more it looks like a video game quality show to me. As some of you may know, online gaming is a thriving industry in China with tons of local production companies (albeit not very advanced compared to the US). Perhaps they just adapted whatever technology they have in online gaming to animation. Who knows? Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Well - I will say this much in terms of something positive: It looks more appealing thant ROTF. Pete Quote

Thanks in advance, Graham Hi Graham, Actually i have a hunch the Astro Plan toys may be available at a HongKong ToysRUs. The reason i say this is becasue when i was back in HKG in December, i noticed TRUs selling toys from a series called "People's Liberation Army" which was basically the Chinese army. However there was a supporting cartoon playing at TRU which basically made the PLA series like a chinese version of GIJoe. The toys were cheap but had all teh accessories and things. So there is a good chance. Everyone, Also i noticed that fighters 1-3(white/red, grey, blue) is a YF-10 with the single rear fin and that fighters 4-6 (purple, yellow/orange, green) is a YF-11 with the dual rear fins. I was looking at the pictures of the toys on TaoBao. Basically there are 2 molds in use there and the others are all repaints. Although i can't see the weapons or gun complements so not sure if that is repeated as well. I've also asked my HKG friend to keep an eye out. IF anything at all i'm going to pick up the weird colour ones to use as fodder for my macross VF-25s. While i cannot condone this almost blatant copying but at least they are trying. With time, eventually they'll come up with somethin of their own. Quote

I guess you were caught stealing bandwith. Quote
mike_s_6 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I've been watching this in snippets since it came out, and I think of it as a piece of fanart. And for that purpose, it does seem to work well. I wonder if anyone is subbing? Quote

azrael Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Hey, they combined Michel and Saito (GitS:SAC) into a character. And the main ship even has a wave-motion-gravity-blast-Macross-cannon-super-laser-type gun. Quote
miles316 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 The shot of the Blue fighter grabbing the enemy and riping it in half and throwing the pieces and taking out two more fighters out is something I have never seen in Macross to my knowledge. Quote
VF5SS Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 The shot of the Blue fighter grabbing the enemy and riping it in half and throwing the pieces and taking out two more fighters out is something I have never seen in Macross to my knowledge. Ozma grabs and rips a piece off a Varja in episode 17. He even throws it at another Varja to make it explode. Astro Plan even had their Ozma YF-10 do it. Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Thats something that would happen in Gurren Lagann or something. Quote
miles316 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I stand corrected. I found another object of copying in the crest of the squadron seen on the canopy when they are in robot mode is eerily similar to the seal of the 12 colony on new Battle Star Galactica. Quote
azrael Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 See, why watch all those anime shows. Just watch Astro Plan. It's every popular anime in the past 5 years all rolled into 1. And then some... Quote
