That sour face ruins it. They should've put the defiant and pouty expression like in my avatar...

I'm cool with it, unlike the Yamamoto V2 face.

I'm with myk. Yuki having a defiant face seems to fit her character better for that scene than this pouty, sexy look. I'm all for artistic license, but some of the more recent face sculpts are really throwing me off. Than again, maybe no one else is looking at the faces :p but I'm glad for Analyser's prompting. It would have taken me longer to connect the dots without his help.

In contrast, I have no problem with Yamamoto having a coy smile/smirk instead of her "give-em-hell" look. Her chararcter did smile on screen, and although I can't remember her doing so with a gun in hand, I have no issues with it. Anyway, I guess I'm in the minority. I know more members seem to agree with you and treatment. As an aside, her new figure just shipped from amiami after a couple delays.

Um, I don't know what that is, but it's exquisite.

Gatlantis Nazca-class carrier 1/1000 kit. First seen way back in the second Yamato animated movie and the second TV series (Star Blazers: The Comet Empire), first seen in 2199 in Episode 11, then seen again in Ark of the Stars last December. Kit came out in late November last year.

Mind blown!... :o

More images, and WIP, here

Yeah, that guy has been doing some outstanding model work, both modifications and scratchbuilds, for years. His scratchbuilt Andromedas are exquisite.

Here's his current mod on the 1/1000 Lamvea (Yep, that's apparently the correct Garmillan spelling for it).

Those Dreadnoughts are built from SCRATCH?! That is BEYOND gifted talent!

I edited the movies about the Yamato related items I shot in 2012 at Shizuoka Hobby Show.

I have explained it a couple of times so far, and I decided to make the movie. So I will not have to account for it. I just have to tell its URL and say "this one, and check it."

Those Cosmo Navy uniforms get tighter and tighter; those Cosmo Navy girls keep getting rounder and rounder...

Those character designs were an absolute homerun for the makers of the series. The gift that keeps on giving.

I'm definitely thinking of picking up that Gatlantis carrier. I keep seeing it at a few of the stores here in Tokyo. Haven't come across the 1/500 Yamato anywhere yet, I'm sad to say.

Have you tried Yodabashi Camera in Akihabara?

Yup. Yodobashi AKiba, Volks Akiba, Hobby Shop Tam Tam, some Liberty stores, Mandarake...

If you couldn't find it in Akhabara, you should go to Nakano.
PS
Oh, Mottainal Flea Market was held yesterday. Somebody might have sold it.
Hmm, Beltane70, you had better ask it earlier. Today is not a holiday. Everyone in Japan is working on the daytime...

The Akiba Yodobashi is one of the first places I looked for it. I haven't hit all the shops in Akiba yet, so I still might find it there.

I did find the first 4 blurays for 2450 yen each. They had all 7, but 5-7 were priced for twice as much.

Because 5-7 were the episodes they didn't bring over to the Starblazers Bluray release in NA.

Hmm. There was a SBY corner in the Volks store before it moved to Radio Kaikan.
I have no idea such a place in the new store.
Add Yellow Submarine on the list. I recommend the shop, too.

Can you get the Musashi, too?

I still find it staggering that human beings could build something so big, deadly and beautiful. Will we ever see anything like it again?
