Kuma Style Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Forgot all about the B2Five versions. Here's a comparison of the Yamato and B2Five Chiricos Quote
treatment Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 apparently, there is another Blu-ray (region-A) release of Armored Trooper VOTOMS from Section-23 scheduled for release today 8/11/2020: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089TXGNL2/ with the BrutishDog as the new cover: 9 discs "complete" collection. Get this version if you missed out on the previous US bd-releases... Quote

I had bought the other bluray releases that were plagued with a horrible video problem so I sold those and nabbed this new set and whew! The tv series is damn near close to bluray quality best I can tell. It was previously a standard def on blu release, but I swear I can clearly see film grain now. It's quite beautiful. Maiden Japan should have allowed people to swap their old discs, but this is definitely worth picking up even if you were burned by the previous release. Quote

I am tempted to dip again with this "newer" release to do a few comparo. Not anytime soon, tho. Quote

Just saw this comment over at amzn: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3EN23THIVI06R/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B089TXGNL2 Quote Pailsen Files disc is set at incorrect ratio. Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020 While this set is much improved over the previous VOTOMs blu rays, the Pailsen Files disc was incorrectly authored: The disc is flagged as 4:3 when it should be 16:9. This means the image is squished and your only hope is that your tv can stretch the image out to make it look right but this will make the subtitles look wrong. Shame that Sentai let this error happen and as of this time they have no plans to correct it. Is that true? Edited August 25, 2020 by treatment Quote

tekering Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 So the whole epic will finally be available in HD. Great news for video snobs such as myself! Quote
jenius Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Well... Maybe in 5 years we'll be able to get a cheap international release. Quote
treatment Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah. A bit too much for now. Hoping Bandai has some are toy plans to coincide with this media release. HM-R Scopedog? MB Scopedog? That's scaled with a SHF Chirico? Do it, Bandai! Quote

jenius Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Mellowlink was only 12 episodes? Huh... felt like more. I also didn't know there was a movie version of Palesan Files... Quote

Big s Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I think the big fail there for me are the super tiny feet. Vrooms, need big feet for the wheels Quote

Big s Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I wasn’t super excited til I noticed that they come with little dudes. Are these gonna be about the same height as the other hmr toys? Just curious since the pilots have joints and was wondering about scale and overall height. The pilots do look simpler than sh figuarts, so I figure they are a smaller scale. Quote

Prolly about the same height as the HM-R Dougram-line, Scale-wise, looks like a fatter 1/35 to accomodate the pilot. A bit better proportioned than the old 35Max's, at least. Or Bandai could be more aggressive and made it 1/28 to directly compete against Artstorm's b2Five Votoms-line... Quote
