treatment Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Hey! An accurately proportioned figure for once! Chris I dunno, man. She look terribly malnourished... Srsly, tho. The face looks misproportionedly big from that colored promo-pic. Still wishing MH would release the long-haired Rei v1's to the masses, too... Quote
electric indigo Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 More Drill Missile fun with the Mecha Collection DBG88. Quote
myk Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 July release: Pre-orders open 5th March The face is wrong... Quote
technoblue Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This version looks like it takes more cues from the character sketch. http://yamato2199.net/character_akira02.html Akira was pretty intense in the anime, so the almost-smile seems odd. I like it, though. Quote
treatment Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 pre-o for Rei v2 is up at ami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-010560 Quote

treatment Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) won't have mine until next week's deliveries, but here's Yuki v1 Renewal from a toysdaily-thread today... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=236069&extra=page%3D1&page=1 Edited March 10, 2015 by treatment Quote
technoblue Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Nice. It's odd, but I think Yuki Renewal is going to arrive at my door before Pilot Suit Yuki. Oh well, post office lag is one of the risks of going cheap with SAL. Quote
Felix Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Okay, it has been a while since I have posted here, but I lurk all the time. I have seen every episode online of Yamato 2199 and I do indeed love it. Is it perfect? Not at all, but If nothing else it is pretty. Anyway I would love to give someone money for legit copies of the Blu-Rays that work in my player, but at the moment there doesn't seem to be a decent outlet. The Starblazers releases are crazy expensive and seem to have stopped, and while getting copies of the Japanese Blus is not that hard there is also the issue of region. Idealy I'd like to buy a box set....Any ideas? Quote

Idealy I'd like to buy a box set....Any ideas? The blurays from Japan work fine in US BD players. The SB 2199 episodes are practically the same and were running about half the price of the Yamato releases - but they do not match up since they are 4 episodes each and the first Yamato disk is only 2 episodes. If the current prices are about the same then go for the Yamato named ones. Quote
Keith Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yup, the Japanese BD's have subtitles, and all Japanese BD's are Region A. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 How come they discontinued the Starblazers 2199 discs? Quote
TangledThorns Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 How come they discontinued the Starblazers 2199 discs? I asked about this before. There is no official explanation. I think its because Voyager is run by morons. You either dub it and call it Starblazers or just leave it undubbed as Yamato 2199. How hard can it be? Also, the price per blu-ray was too damn high for a North American release too. Might as well buy a Japanese blu-ray instead for what Voyager was charging. Quote
Keith Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) They expected name recognition to carry the release. Between fans who had already imported the Japanese release,fans who would have supported if they had "not" used the Starblazers name, and newer fans who are far too young to remember or care about Starblazers, they shot themselves in both kneecaps.

Marzan Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I've never seen Voyager do any other anime releases. Are they are Harmony Gold kind of outfit that only has the one batch of licenses and milks that for all that it's worth? Quote

Yes. That and only advertising in places where hardcore anime fans would visit did them in. Quote

I think they were originally setup to be a U.S. didtribution arm for Yamato, then werr forgotten and degraded to their current state. Quote
TehPW Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 honestly would it not be better for them to air Yamato on hulu or Netflicks? or is there legal or financial considerations i'm missing? Quote
TangledThorns Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 honestly would it not be better for them to air Yamato on hulu or Netflicks? or is there legal or financial considerations i'm missing? I asked this before. I suspect its due to legal reasons like you suggest. Quote
taksraven Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Any word of a follow up to the 2199 series yet? (Apart from the movie, when is that coming out for home release, BTW?) Quote
westfall Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 No announcment on season 2 yet. As for Ark, it will come out on May 27th. The Blu-Ray version of the movie will be shown in select theatres in late April. This is supposedly an upgraded version with some production errors (mostly caused by the production running out of time back in December) fixed, much like what they did with episodes 25 and 26 back when volume 7 came out. Quote
myk Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 You woulda thought they'd have announced it by now... Quote
Keith Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Maybe a special announcement with the BD release? Merch has been incredibly strong, I can't see them not continuing. Quote
treatment Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Just got Yuki Mori v1-renewal: :wub: :hail: Much better and more excellent paint-finish in contrast to the lousily/lazily-painted Yuki v2 released last month. Quote
treatment Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 1/1000 Yamato kits box-comparo:Original series and 2199 versions.Only the middle one's hastily completed. Haven't had the time and motivation to finish the other two... Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Cosmo DNA's been updated for March. http://ourstarblazers.com/vault/986/ Did you guys know MH is making yet another Yuki in Iscandarian dressing (with cast off option lol). Quote
myk Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Yuki v4 with cast-off option? ahahaha! SHE WILL BE MINEWell....I'll wager the cast off portion only involves the lower dress, if they remain faithful to the anime... Edited March 19, 2015 by myk Quote
antibiotictab Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Did you guys know MH is making yet another Yuki in Iscandarian dressing Wait for the next MegaHobby Expo (2015 Spring) on May 30. Quote
treatment Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) While we wait for Yuki v4, here's one of the pics from the pictorial of Yuki v3 at ameblo... http://ameblo.jp/mappamundice/entry-12004301270.html Nicely done, but I'm skipping this version since I'm just not a fan of non-castoffable bikinis... Edited March 22, 2015 by treatment Quote
myk Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I'm Koo-koo for Yuki but with all of her different figures I can't shake the feeling that her face is wrong or off on all of them, somehow. That bikini version has a fabulous body but it just doesn't strike me as being an accurate "Yuki..." Quote
myk Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 ^^^^At this point she'd better be wearing nothing but her sidearm and holster. Well my favorite space-ditz Yurisha showed up. Anyone else get her also? Quote
