treatment Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Saw this over at Toysdaily. http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=229774 Another yamatocrew exclusive, I reckon. Hopefully not. There's also a v2 of Rei there. antibiotictab oughta verify... Edited October 24, 2014 by treatment Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I'm guessing the yellow repaint is going to be club exclusive. I doubt they'd do an entire new sculpt as an exclusive. That said this looks more like a prize figure than a proper retail release. :edit: also, her feet look huge. Edited October 24, 2014 by anime52k8 Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Wow she does have big feet! What does that mean for women? Lol Quote
technoblue Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I don't know about the swim suit, but Yuki's legs look longer and that makes this version look taller to me. The feet don't bug me. She isn't wearing her space boots/heals. Quote
treatment Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Unfortunately, that figure in the mag-pic really does have big feet. antibiotictab should really inform MH about it to fix it. I think MH knows him as SBY-superfan... Quote
technoblue Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 LOL! Try as I might, I don't see the big feet. I only see bare feet. I shall consider myself fortunate this time. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 ANOTHE Rei?! Not that I'm complaining. But where's my Kodai and Dessler? Quote
antibiotictab Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) antibiotictab should really inform MH about it to fix it. I think MH knows him as SBY-superfan... I am not a superfan. As I said before, SBY was a big boom especially in 1978, everybody who experienced it knows what I have said as an etiquette or something like that. The new figures of Yuki has already colored, so it would be displayed in MegaHobby Expo on Nov 29. Yamamoto's may not be because it is not colored. Edited October 25, 2014 by antibiotictab Quote
myk Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Wow she does have big feet! What does that mean for women? Lol Large feet on a woman, well in this case anyway, indicate giant, jiggling, gravity defying breasts that could feed a village if needed... Quote
wm cheng Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Can anyone tell me anything about this? http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4499231493/ref=pe_620922_174472542_em_1p_2_im Is it models or drawings/artwork of the mechanics? Does anyone have it? Is it worth getting? Quote

Does anyone have it? Is it worth getting? Its another modeling book, this one gathering articles published in Model Graphix magazine. Much like the 2 from Dengeki Hobby and the one from Hobby Japan. In terms of art books, the only ones announced is a book by PIA that will be released in late November and the Yamato 2199 Complete Works mega set.

treatment Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 No idea. I think FZ's seems to at least have variable heights, tho, regardless of series/characters. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I was just checking out the Starblazers.com site and noticed they stopped selling the blu-rays for the new series back in August. Any idea why? Quote
myk Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I thought their ordering system was down and it was only supposed to be temporary. Where else can you get the blu rays? I didn't get more than number one.... Quote

I didn't get more than number one.... Yeah, that was back at the end of August and they stopped pushing new episode releases too. I wonder if there was any drama... It'd be nice if Netflix got the rights to the series just like they did with Attack on Titan, ugh! Edited October 31, 2014 by TangledThorns Quote
Keith Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Funi got Titan, Netflix got Sidonia (and hoprfully Crunchyroll will get season 2). Current rumor is that maybe a more current company (and hopefully more compwtent than Voyager) picked up the rights, and are waiting to announce it. Or perhaps the release just tanked. I skipped it and just finished off thr Japamese release. Couldn't stand the pointless Starblazers packaging. Other current mysteries include why there has been no news on Funi's licensing of Resurrection. Though they may have watched it and realized the horrible mistake they made. Quote
Marzan Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I know they're expensive, but if Voyager doesn't release more BD's you can always purchase the Japanese BD's. They're subtitled (and the subtitles are very competent). It's such a shame that such a fanstastic franchise is caught in another licensing dead end. I hope what Keith mentions is right and the rights are being bought by soomeone else. Quote
myk Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 They're a lot more expensive. This is what I get for procrastinating. FML... Quote
Keith Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Amazon.co.jp, they're really not that much more, though there is a 7th disc, and at least one disc with episode crossover between the releases. Besides, late to an unfinished release means you saved yourself some cash toward the finished release. Quote
myk Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I'll give .jp a look. Question: did Star Blazers/Voyager finish releasing all of the volumes, or did it stop somewhere in-between? Quote
Dynaman Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Voyagers' releases stopped around disk 3 or 4 of the 6 planned. Quote

Besides, late to an unfinished release means you saved yourself some cash toward the finished release. The limited edition movie releases also show up as one bundle on Mandarake from time to time, and I've even seen the collector's box there too. However, when the latter is included it can make the whole set quite expensive. Quote
myk Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Voyagers' releases stopped around disk 3 or 4 of the 6 planned. 1,000 % lame... Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Voyagers' releases stopped around disk 3 or 4 of the 6 planned. WOW...that sucks. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 That was the exact reason why I didn't want to get in with the bluray/dvds. I had a bad feeling with the way Voyager was carrying themselves they would cut and run. There is a glimmer of hope that since Voyager its self is relatively small they just kinda ignored the US Market to focus on the 2199 movie releases in Japan and will turn its attention back to the US when the movie hype is over.

sierra-ii7 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Well I was going to upload some images of my 1/72 Yamato 2199 collection but they wont upload and now I cant delete this post. Bitch Bitch Bitch I know, will try again. Trust me it will be worth it. Edited November 1, 2014 by sierra-ii7 Quote

BV handles the Japanese relesse. Voysger is an HG styled zombie company. Quote
Sandman Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 From what I understand it's not really voyagers fault. Their decisions are mandated by BV. For example voyager wanted to release the remastered DVDs for the original series but BV said no. Which is why we got stuck with VHS transfer DVDs that are horrible quality. Quote
antibiotictab Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 BV handles the Japanese relesse. Voysger is an HG styled zombie company. One of the representatives of the company is a Japanese person and he is a step son of Nishizaki, IIRC. What're hell happened? Hmm... Quote
