:lol Dunno, but I've been thinking of selling this one and creating a new one that's a biiiit more accurate. Even got the frame ready, but what's stopping me is laziness and because I can't find a reasonably priced 1:48 MH-53 anywhere.:banghead
 
Miles Mayhem rocks!!! :rock

I absolutely LOVED M.A.S.K. It was one of my favorites.

Ayup, it was a real kickass cartoon. Loved it when I was young. :rock A movie of it would be pretty badass, too.:lol

And yeah, if any of you want 1:24 figures to display along with your Alts, TRACK DOWN THE MASK FIGURES! They're PERFECT, and in the same scale. If it wasn't for some of the Alts not having a lot of legspace, the Mask figures would have been able to ride them in vehicle mode too. :(

that Blackout is amazing!!!!!!!! seriously, if you are interested in commissions, I'd be VERY interested!!!

Hrmn, maybe. Could use the money, but I usually make these things when I have a LOT of free time and a lot of junker parts laying around.
 
While I like Macross... 1. Doesn't hold a candle stick to Transformers, and 2. I'm sure we'll get the real thing inevitably.

Wow. :horror Well then. Keep on dreaming. It is never going to happen. DEFINITELY not by Hasbro (they've said as much, and it's not worth their time and energy to fight off Big West, Bandai and Harmony Gold in court), and TakaraTomy would never be able to release a Macross VF-1 Valkyrie with an Autobot deco on it in Japan, where Macross is still very much alive and kicking. That would be like a company here taking an Optimus Prime figure, painting it in some odd paint scheme and trying to pass it off as their own. The Bandai 25th anniversary Valkyries are the closest you will EVER get to a reissue Jetfire. Period.

While you certainly "served" me with your knowledge on the matter, it still doesn't mean that we will never see a reissued Jetfire. So what if Macross is still popular in Japan? It's not like Transformers aren't.

So yes, i'll keep on dreaming. ;)
 
:monkey2:monkey2:monkey2:monkey2 This is so freaking awesome!!!! i want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make me an offer I can't refuse.:naughty

Yeeeaaaaah, it's an incredibly annoying legal BS going on around the Robotech/Macross rights and the old molds, so don't count on it. Only reason Omega Supreme got reissued (and because Shockwave will as well, appearantly) is because the original owners don't exist anymore and the rights to the mold were up for grabs.

That's not true at all.

Back in the 80's, Takara/Hasbro accuqired the rights to use the molds from their original owners. The license to produce many of these toys have expired and Hasbro and Takara no longer have the rights to produce the figures.

The reason Takara was able to reissue Omega Supreme was cause they found out that they DO own the rights to the mold. The original owner of the Omega mold was a company named ToyBox. ToyBox was bought out many years ago by Tomy. Tomy merged with Takara in 2006 to form Takara-Tomy which means that Takara now owns the rights to the mold through Tomy. The Sky Lynx mold is the same thing. It also was originally owned by ToyBox which is why it was also reissued.

Shockwave was owned by a company named ToyCo that no longer exists. Takara has been trying for years to try to get the rights to the mold but with no luck.
 
i wish the Omega at BBTS wasn't marked as "new" so it was 20% off so i could have him to go along with my original Omega. who owns the rights to Devestator/Constructicons?
