ChristopherB Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Hello, Yeah, that was an interesting discussion, but it was not (3) years ago. Maybe a year or something like that, but (3) years would be March 2001, and no one had an idea Bandai would even reissue anything. I remember my first e-mail to Graham where he advised me not to spend my money on the expensive Takatoku valkyries, because something better was coming. Little did I know that he was referring to Yamato. Going even further back, I remember reading about the failed effort where I think it was Steve Yun split off, and Yamato went their own way, and the US was left out. I think Kevin at Valkyrie-Exchange had a whole write up describing how the fall out happened, but that is for us old school MW members/lurkers to recall. This of course all pre-dates the Toyfair "Sunwards(?)" affair. Sincerely, Christopher Quote
estacado06479 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 yeah, IF and its a BIG if, they are going to do this, wouldnt it stay 1/100 scale? that would be PLENTY big. unless youre a scale whore, which im not Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 In case Yamato cares, here's a few humble suggestions for the (upcomming?) Konig Monster, from a true fan. I think this two models provide a good glance at the design problems that the sculptors would have to face with this baby. If anybody holds a different opinion on this matter please feel free to cast the stone, maybe we all can make the perfect monster! The good pionts are marked green, the flaws red. Quote
Graham Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Damn, been searching the internet high and low and it seems like nobody took any toy pics at TAF 2004 Graham Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 for shame graham! I say you ban noel for not giving us hot juiicy coverage~! LOL jp. But hey maybe Noel WAS there and is busy writing a write up? Quote

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 ARRRRRRRRRR DAMN YOPU GAMES[POT JAPAN FOR NOT HOOKN PICS UP AS USUAL!!! Graham did yamato ever get back to you and say what they were showin there? Quote
Graham Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Nope, Yamato don't talk to me much (or at all?) any more. Graham Quote
Graham Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Hello,Yeah, that was an interesting discussion, but it was not (3) years ago. Maybe a year or something like that, but (3) years would be March 2001, and no one had an idea Bandai would even reissue anything. I just checked and my review of the Bandai 1/55 VF-1J Hikaru re-issue was published on Macrossworld on December 30th 2001. Graham Quote
Graham Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Lonely Soldier Boy, I keep meaning to ask you, is your avatar supposed to be an elephant wearing powered armor? Graham Quote

This of course all pre-dates the Toyfair "Sunwards(?)" affair. I think you're thinking of George Sohn, who used to work with Toycom/Yamato and now is Toynami - not Steve Yun, who is the webmaster at Robotech.com. Tense days they were indeed. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Lonely Soldier Boy, I keep meaning to ask you, is your avatar supposed to be an elephant wearing powered armor? Very funny. No. it's a design of my own. I´m too shy to show the full version, but to put an end to the speculation here it is. Please be kind, all of you, it's my firs time at MW. Quote

I remember when you said it was your design and I believed it. For some reason I thought it was some kind of Mammoth-like Zoid, but the full version blows me away. Who are your influences. Maybe you should post it at the Fanart section so we can discuss it fully. Thanks for sharing... Oh who's the guy? Looks like River Phoenix. Quote

That is a very cool design man,,,Kudos Quote
rocco_77 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) Are you kidding me LSB?? That is amazing art work.... I hope you won't be too shy when someone offers you some real money for your artistic skill, and creativity... Really nice design. Graham: I'm sure you are not able to tell us why Yamato has shut you out... But is there any info you CAN give about your relationship with them? I would hate to think that you lost your status with them because of us spilling too much information around here. Edited March 31, 2004 by rocco_77 Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Oh who's the guy? Looks like River Phoenix. Lonely Soldier Boy Er... It IS River Phoenix. It suits the main character so well that I decided to hire him "post mortem". I hope the family don't sue me for this I think I'll post it at the fan art section before the moderators kicks me off. The mecha is a power suit 'bout three meters high. My main influences are Shirow's Landmates, real life tanks and Macross of course! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I hope you won't be too shy when someone offers you some real money for your skills... For some reason somebody is already paying me real money as a comic artist, but I alway feel insecure when it comes to my own hellspawns. Hopefully I'll direct my own anime some day featuring lots and lots of armors like this shooting each other. That's my dream. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Shy about what?!?! Damn!! Now how about some more!! I remember when you kicked me that VF-X wallpaper you mentioned you have some stuff...you really should get it out to humble all of us! BTW, key word is that it is "based" on Mr. Phoenix. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 BTW, key word is that it is "based" on Mr. Phoenix. Ha! You're right! I'm posting this at the fan art section so we can move the discussion from here. The Yamato Konig Monster must be jealous Quote
Fort Max Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 BTW, key word is that it is "based" on Mr. Phoenix. Ha! You're right! I'm posting this at the fan art section so we can move the discussion from here. The Yamato Konig Monster must be jealous Nah, that'd be like saying that the Yeti gets jealous when people are discussing Nessie. Awesome artwork there btw, Fort Max Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Or more like Gundam feeling jealous of Bossborot Quote
Macrosso Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 reminds me of a xbox game phantom crash the design look almost like it except for the face. Quote
Ghadrack Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I have to agree LSB that is a spectacular looking mech, I think in 3-D like a model or Resin-Kit it would be even more magnificent. That is a really spectacular design Thanks for sharing! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks for sharing! On the contrary! Thanks to you all! reminds me of a xbox game phantom crash the design look almost like it except for the face. I swear I don't even own an xbox, but I'd very much like to see that one. Quote
Wabbit Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 That is some nice work you did, LSB! It's like a professional illustration in RPG books! Quote
EXO Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Hi guys, LSB started a topic here about his illustration http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=0entry122560 it'd be cool if we took it there so he can bask in his well deserved glory... and we can talk about the... what the hell were we talking about again???

Actually from your avatar, I thought it was the ABC robot from Judge Dreadd. Quote
Angel's Fury Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 ....this isn't Macrossworld anymore, It's Bitchandspeculatewildlyworld now. Btw, about those ugly feet of that fugly samurai robot thingie, the reason why I didn't comment on it is because I believed you. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Actually from your avatar, I thought it was the ABC robot from Judge Dreadd. Wow, I loved that one! I always dreamed of a life size model for my living room. Maybe I took something from it without knowing. Quote
wwwmwww Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) I love the drawing LSB but to get this more on topic I just found the pics I was looking for. Did Shawn put these back up? Why didn't I see them before? Anyways I was wrong about something. I have heard of one of the kit builders aside from I.H.P. I'm also familiar with L-Trans-R. He entered the Yellow Sub/Studio Half Eye contest as well. The other kit maker was CHRIS. And the pics that have been show here as a Studio Half Eye kit are his. Here are all three of the 1:144 VB-6 kits: I first heard of this contest back in August 2000. Here is the article from the August 2000 Dengeki Hobby: There was also a picece in the September issue: And the October issue: I don't believe there was anything in the November issue but it was back again in the December issue: And the pictures posted above of the essentially complete kits was from the January issue. I have no idea why things fell apart at this point but the 1:144 kit never became a reality. If anyone knows the rest of the story I'd love to hear it.
