UN Spacy Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 You can't go wrong with more shots of Yammie goodness. I wish Yellow Submarine released an all scaled Trek series. Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 THat is one hell of a Bismark model... The 1/144 Yamato won't fit into my bathtub! Quote
Nightbat Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 how about these 2: Area 88 Area 88 (btw check the addresses: img_7887.html and img_7888.html] ) Quote

GobotFool Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Hmmmm , StarShip Trooper power suits. Lets hope they are not microsized like the last ones that were released. Quote
Uxi Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Lots of cool stuff in there. What scale were those Starship Troopers suits gonna be in? I like the Sulaco, too... Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 love the VB-6, but that Sulaco model kicks ass... Quote
Graham Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 I'm not sure, but based on recent photos in either the May or June issue of Hobby Japan, I think those Starship Troopers Powered Suits are resin garage kits. Personally, I love the small Kaiyodo Powered Suit Toys. Great articulation for the small size. It's just a pity that they never made the OVA version. Graham Quote

Graham I probably would have loved them too, if I didn't pay full price for em when they 1st came out Quote
JELEINEN Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Those Galactic Heroes ships have visions of table top fleet battles dancing in my head, but $70.00 a set (and around 13 sets) is making me very reluctant to pick them up. Quote

There's a Starship Troopers novel.....there's a Starship Troopers movie which was based VERY loosely on the novel....then there is the game based on the movie.... and now there's an anime based on.....???? Uhhh.... The novel? Actually I saw these toys made by not sure who in a comic shopw in Australia about a year back....and they were labeled ARMORED SUITS or something....and I ever seen or heard of anything like that. It looked to me like an Elemental rip-off (or most probably what the ELemental was ripped off from) Quote

Hurin Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 I think I saw parts of a sequel on cable the other day. Man did it suck. Low, low budget. H Quote
Knight26 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 There is another board I lurk on occasionally where people actually prefered the movie to the book, and like the second SST movie as well. They all have some serious issues. I would love to find the SSt anime though. Quote

Final Vegeta Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 AFAIK, the mecha design was done by Studio Nue (meaning Miyatake, I think), even in novel's illustrations. FV Quote
JELEINEN Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 This anime is old, early 1980's I thought. Late 80's. IIRC, 1988. It was released under the title Uchu no Senshi. Quote

It looked to me like an Elemental rip-off (or most probably what the ELemental was ripped off from) The Starship Troopers OVA anime was released in 1988. The Powered Suit designs were by Studio Nue. The Kaiyodo Powered Suit toy which is very similar, but not identical to the OVA design was also designed by Studio Nue apparently all the way back in 1979. Graham Quote
DestroidDefender Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 RE: SST I've seen it (and so had Veerhoven who direct the SST movie). A lot of the teenage 90210 elements in the movie appeared the 80's anime. the high school stuff and the football game are in the anime (not the book). That aside the power suits are really cool - the best artistic interpretation of the suits I've ever seen. The anime bug are dissappointing though. BTW, while I think the movie is poor, it IS an accurate interpretation of the book in many ways. All the patriotic stuff about promoting militarism is in the book. Some of the lines are lifted verbatim. What peaks my interest in the display are the mini space ships. Are these for a wargame? Yellow Submarine's extremely tiny (1/12000) ships from Heldensagen von Kosmosinisef are superbly detailed despite their size (the hand is in there for scale!). Quote
