Dynaman Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 I could probably watch that loop for hours... Quote
westfall Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Everyone, head over to 2199's official site and get your mecha fix. The mechanical section has some new stuff. Welcome the Megaluda! http://yamato2199.net/about/mechanic_a.html Quote

myk Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) oops Edited November 25, 2014 by myk Quote
myk Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Sorry Yuki, but I thnk I found someone else: html'> I now have yet another excuse to watch 2199 again... Edited November 25, 2014 by myk Quote
technoblue Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 That was one of my favorite revisions in SBY 2199: shift personnel for the various stations. Especially poor Yuki, who had to work serious overtime in the original series. And it means more figures today. Nice pics, myk. Quote
Marzan Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Ooh, that's nice. I like my Yamato Nadeshiko's and she fits the bill twice over. But I'm struggling to remember her. Is she one of the bridge operations staff? At some point 'chubby girl' might just get her very own 1/8 figure Quote
myk Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Dude I was just thinking about the CHUBBY girl lol. I would totally buy her figure! Saijo Miki was Yuki's duty station replacement after she was kidnapped... Quote
Keith Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Just watched Journey To Remember, not nearly as bad of a clip film as people said. Quote
treatment Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) per http://toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-231148-1-1.html Mikage Kiryu's coming Spring-2015. I think the 1/8 version that MH's been teasing for awhile. Maybe Rei v2 will be next after her... Edited November 25, 2014 by treatment Quote

Pity the only scene where they actually show her face ended up with Makoto blocking her. XDDD Quote
technoblue Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Here are two extra pics of Figuarts Yuki (thanks to tag hobby). The last one shows a very familiar updo hairstyle accessory. The more I see, the more I like these designs, and I'm glad Bandai is offering an alternative to MegaHouse. Quote
Major Focker Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 are these same size as MH? i think my other Figuarts Zero is like 1/9 or 1/10 Quote
myk Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Good question, although I must say that's a good looking figure... Quote
technoblue Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Ditto. Any 2199 figuart that I pick up will be my first and I'm not sure. I wouldn't mind if they are smaller. It will save some display space. The reason they appeal to me now is due to Bandai's hint at more variety. I admit the bishoujo Yamato Girls from MH are very nice, but I'm on my way to having three Yukis and no Dessler or Kodai or Starsha? What? I'll trade the tehepero flight suit Yuki and cherub Yurisha for a nice sculpt of Starsha or a new Yamato Guy. Edited November 25, 2014 by technoblue Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 figuarts zeros are always disappointingly small IMO. Quote
Petrov27 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah - I love the Yamato girls but some more dudes would be good as well Quote
westfall Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I have the 2 1/12 scale figures of Yuki and Yamamoto and though smaller, and therefore more shelf space friendly, they are still a good size, not to mention in scanle with Bandai's Analyzer. The 5 figures that have been presented are quite nice and i have only 2 "complaints". Apparently that Yuki will be the first and is schedulled for release only in May... and, even though i hope more figures in the line will follow and i do love the character, why is Frakken coming out instead of Domel?

derex3592 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Same here! Got my volumes 4-7 from Amazon Japan today! They don't all match, but whatever..Merry early Xmas to me! Quote

EXO Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Yup... Just ransacked thru the whole series. Took me 4 days. I've never seen Star Blazers or anything Yamato related before. I loved all the recent discoveries added to the plot like the geysers on Enceladus. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I have been a Yamato fan since I first saw Star Blazers as a kid. Quote
westfall Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Just came 1) TMI 2) Well done on the Blu-Ray front. Myself, i still gotta get volumes 3, 5, 6 and 7 though i have all the episodes in all 3 formats + Voyage on hard drive. Wanted to get them now but with the budget buster that the Complete Collection is, they'll have to go on standby. BTW, for those wondering about the size of the 2199 Figuarts Zero figures, Yuki will be around 15cm tall, so around the same size as the 1/12 figures. Not too bad.

CrusherJ Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Been holding off trying to see what would happen with the US release, but since it looks like that's been basically canceled I went ahead and ordered vol. 1 from Amazon Japan. Been wanting to see this for a while now. Quote
TangledThorns Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Amazon Japan is dumb. For all 7 volumes its $540 dollars but its little over $300 if you buy them individually. Still, the sting of paying $300 for a set of 7 Blu-rays is a turn-off. Especially after I unloaded all my DVDs for about $100 last Summer. I don't know how you guys do it Edited November 28, 2014 by TangledThorns Quote

I don't know how you guys do it Eh, it's just the choice of where we drop our money. I don't understand how people can spend hundreds, thousands of dollars on transforming robot toys, but I'll throw that much at a car without even blinking... Quote

It's a matter of choice and what's important to you. I think people buying now are lucky, because all three versions of 2199 are available. ourstarblazers.com has a nice summary of the packaging: http://ourstarblazers.com/vault/823/ The limited-editions were available for ticket holders in Japan to buy when 2199 was showing in theaters. These are the most collectible now. As you can see in the link above, these volumes include everything in the standard edition and first edition retail releases, plus some additional Naoyuki Kato artwork and a complete set of story boards. The first-edition retail release includes a story board for the first volume only, IIRC. And, like the movie editions, these include the excellent slip case covers for all seven volumes with artwork by Naoyuki Kato. The standard no-frills release is great if you want to save money and just see the series. You do get the episode summary booklets with this version. Quote
