Big s Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I’m a big fan of both Votoms and Obsolete, but this one felt a bit blasphemous. Although the intro was fun to watch. Quote

Chet Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 For anyone who has Yamato's 1/12 Turbo Custom Scopedog, have the feet of your toy...leaked? A few years back, I noticed what I can only describe as a gravel looking substance at the bottom of my Turbo Custom's feet. It was dark grey, a bit sticky and seemed to be coming from inside the feet near the wheels. As time went on, more of the stuff just appeared at the bottom of the feet. Has this happened to anyone else? Quote
Big s Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 I’m scared to see anymore posts from you. So far they’re all about disintegrating or melting collectibles. I really do feel bad for you though. I kinda figured that cloth would do that on the Patlabor ones and as far as leaking joints I hope it just needs a bit of cleaning. have the votoms joints gotten water or other liquids in them? Quote

jenius Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Are they reissuing them? Maybe just showing off previous projects? I thought for sure we'd get a red shoulder at some point. Quote
treatment Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I still don't trust ThreeZero's Scopedogs. I rather buy more from Artstorm/B2Five than buy any from ThreeZero. 1 hour ago, jenius said: Are they reissuing them? Maybe just showing off previous projects? I thought for sure we'd get a red shoulder at some point. Are you planning of buying them again despite the risks of them breaking on you again? Were you even able to get all your previously broken ones replaced by them and/or by your vendor? Quote
jenius Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 If they did a red shoulder I might bite, especially if they did something to fix the obvious weak spots. I wouldn't grab reissues. Quote

Big s Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 I passed on the standard version and preordered the ps version last night. I don’t know why wave goes through the trouble of doing two releases for every votoms kit. I always end up having to wait for the ps version for almost half a year Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 I picked up the Votoms complete bluray collection off of a Sentai Filmworks sale on their website for $30. I have to say this is probably the best value of a boxset I have ever gotten in my life, as it looks like it has every single piece of Votoms animation ever made short of Armor Hunter Mellowlink! Watching all of this though I've made a kind of interesting observation. Is it ever explained how a Scopedog can operate in the vacuum of space without killing it's pilot, yet it leaks so badly in water that drowning is a very real danger even for a fully suited pilot? Quote
jenius Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 It's it the same discs/same video quality of the individual Blu rays they were putting out? Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 1 hour ago, jenius said: It's it the same discs/same video quality of the individual Blu rays they were putting out? Honestly I couldn't tell you as the last time I watched the series was on U.S. Manga Corps old dvd sets before they went out of business. It looks alright to me, then again I'm not exactly watching it on a high end 8k rez monitor either. The older stuff seems to be in SD though while the newer OVAs are HD. Honestly I'm just happy to be able to watch most of the franchise in one place for a decent price and not pay $70-100 dollars for an out of print import dvd that may only have one or two episodes on it.

Keith Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, jenius said: It's it the same discs/same video quality of the individual Blu rays they were putting out? No, they fixed the compression problems/ghosting on the first release. This alone is worth the upgrade. Unfortunately they introduced the problem of using the wrong video tag on one of the OVA's resulting in the 16:9 video being scrunched to 4:3. If your blu-ray player has variable ratio settings, this is easily fixed. Also of note, this still predates the Japanese remastered discs that came out, so we "may" yet still get an improved release.

Gregore, along with Byman and Musa, planned revenge on Yoran Pailsen, the founder of the Red Shoulder unit. With such expectations that Fiana may be under Palesen, Kiriko acts with the three of them. But in front of them were the remnants of the newly awakened Perfect Soldier No. 2, Epsilon and Red Shoulder. The original plan is Hajime Yatate, and the original and director is Ryosuke Takahashi. Directed by Mitsuko Kase, written by Soji Yoshikawa, character design by Norio Shioyama, and mechanical design by Kunio Okawara. The story following this work, Kumen, is also being distributed on the Sunrise channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmDLyFjSutfb1MK7F6cMVSA/featured https://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/ Edited September 15, 2021 by no3Ljm Quote
