Omg theres so many things that I want from that, mainly the transformers and evangelion figures XD
I recently downloaded the original Votoms series and really loved it. I plan on buying the whole thing on DVD. I know the new series is coming out (or out already) but I can't find much about it. Maybe someone SHOULD blog about it. If you are a fan of classic mecha series like Gundam and Robotech, give Votoms a try.
the translucent evangelion 01 is nice. igniting my interest to have model kits all over again
i have no idea what's it's name but there's one who transforms into a controller for some console...
Those four are indeed from Super Robot Wars. The first is Dygenguard (often romanized as Daizengar). It's got a big sword. The second is R-2 Powered (insert Star Wars joke here), a long-range artillery mech. The one after R-2 is the Wildraubtier, a transforming prototype mech. Then there's the SRX. It's a neat combiner robot made from the R-1, R-2 Powered, and R-3 Powered. You can probably see some videos of it in action on Youtube or Nico or something.
Holy sh*t! Those Optimus Primes look f*ing awesome!!
Hi Danny! The white MS you mentioned being put among the Gundam kits is Bertigo from Gundam X, a Newtype MS which KO-ed Gundam X in the anime. Anyway, how's the general acceptance of Michael Bay's Transformers in Japan? Since all the mecha were redesigned, and none of them look anyhow close to the first generation robots from Japan, I wonder if the Japanese fans are happy with that?
The purple starscream look alike is know as Skywarp and not star scream. The Blue Kamen Rider is Kamen Rider G3 from the Kamen Rider Agito series The black Kamen Rider is known as Alternative from the Kamen rider Ryuki Series.
"Classic design StarScream." It's Skywarp ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skywarp
The red MA is from Gundam MS IGLOO: Apocalyse 0079. Apparently it's a mobile fortress and MS repair bay all-in-one...
the eva01 model is simple beautiful and i also can't wait for the movie ^^
Votoms is a very good series except for the end bit after a certain plot twist but I heard one of the OVAs fixes it. If you're a fan of gritty, down to earth mechas and militaristic atmospheres this is the show for you. Scopedogs look best when they're dirty and battleworn. Look at this guy's works on them codyscoop.com
That "classic Starscream' is skywarp. The one below it is named 'High Score' (I think) from the TF Movie Real gear line... it transformer to a gamepad That FF Mask is FF12 Ghabrant/Judge :P They're releasing Optimus Masterpeice again? how cool.. I haven't bought that one yet :D
Love that first transparent EVA figure. The detail on it is superb. After buying (and selling) many different EVA figures, im waiting til i can get one that is truly great - proportions, detail and poseability. That could be the one. Dont like the transparent-ness though. Some cool mech pics there - nice to see stuff other than gundam.
I'm going to get that 1/1 scale Scope Dog, paint it up and terrorize the already mentally distrought people of Selden.. hehehehe... I mean, I'll add the Optimus prime bust to my collection, yeah just that for now. ^_^;;
That white Transformers is called "High Score 100". It Transforms into a videogame controller. http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=products/detail&product_id=20303 Hopefully Takara Tomy fixed the flaws of Starscream for Skywarp.
Man, the Transformers figure are so c00l. I really wish I was big into getting them but in truth it really isn't my thing. Man, Kamen Rider chars. look awesome!
Those Transformers and Keroro mechs are very nice! I like that Prime bust; it's really detailed, and the Weathered Keroro diorama is quite remarkable! More people really need to blog about Keroro; I know I still watch all the new RAWs whenever they are posted. Great job and awesome pics once again!
That colored Evangelion model looks incredible! I may get the Optimus Prime Model when it comes out, it looks good too.
Awesome Optimus Prime figures, and I can't name those Kamen Riders, Can't indentify them. :(
The Eva models look amazing, wonder how much they'll go for. The FFXII Judge helmet looks pretty sick too.
The Armoured Core models are looking good. cant wait to get me in a few!
very nice pics as always Danny, I actually seen Votom and while its a very old one, but it is very good. It has a very interesting story line that it seems its just about to end and no they throw another twist in there and story goes on. I enjoyed it, but was not able to see the end of it. It looks like The Anime Network dropped it from its onDemand section and haven't seen anymore of it since.
It's surprising to see so much of Armor Trooper Votoms recently. It was a show that I enjoyed a lot in the early '80. I do recommend it, but be warned it's not an easy series to pick up. Votom's history is like that of Gundams, one needs to know the characters and they history or they will become quickly bored. Right from the beginning though, Votoms is filled with the same level of intrigue and mystery that is seen in GITS. It's best to start from the beginning or a quick primer would be the "Red Shoulder" OVAs. Red Shoulder is a bit of pre-story/ side story to the series. Armor Trooper Votoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_Trooper_Votoms
Good guess on the Wings of Rean mecha, but they're actually from the precursor anime Aura Battler Dunbine: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/dunbine/dunbine.htm I'm not sure exactly how the two series are related(have yet to Rean), but I get the impression that it's supposed to be closer to the original Wings of Rean novel which both series, as well as Garzey's Wing, are based on. As distinctive as the Rean and Dunbine mecha are, there's a little bit of irony that the original WoR novel didn't involve mecha at all, they were added to the story at the request of toy companies Clover and Bandai.
What Eva Movie is everyone talking about? Someone please fill me in. Just a warning to anyone looking to buy the Armored Core series, its highly detailed, but very fragile. The plastic is a lot easier to flex and break than on your standard Bandai Sprews, like on the Gundams. The fit is also a little off, so there will need to be a lot of putty work to make it look real clean. Just so you know!
Gotta have that EVA-001...so cool....haha I thought Camen Rider was extinct by now...see it's not true
I like that EVA very much. Always wanted a nice Unit 01 figure! Really looking forward to the 4 movies as well!
DRAGUN, there are four new Evangelionh movies on the way, starting with You are [not} Alone this year: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2006-09-07/new-evangelion-movies
The first one: I don't know much about transformers... The second one: wtf is that? The third one: Isn't that Daizenga? Or the the mecha Zengar fights in... The one below it: R-2 Powerd (SRW OG) The fourth one: Wildrabtier
the color of Eva model is so great
Evangelion mecha looks awesome. Hope it will, be release...
You should get that Final Fantasy Judge costume next!
No one blogging about votoms... you mean the anime series Danny? btw this guy's votom models are awesome, check it out ;) http://codyscoop.com/models/mecha The bloodsucker is modelling extraordinaire imo XD
want that FF Judge. btw, that last mecha looks very familiar. Where have i seen that before?
That last mecha's a Bertigo from Gundam X. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/rmsn-008.htm
The first Super Robot Wars Mecha is Dyengar? I don't know about the 2nd. The one after it is Kotobukiya. I want the 2nd one Super Robot Wars mecha.
16461 is SRX (the blue and red with a V on its head) SRX --> the one that conbine with R-1, R-2 and R-3 --> from SRW and cool robots but nothing relaly interest me to the point of buying but the evas does look good
Hi Danny! Been a viewer of the site for a few months now, first time poster. The first two images of Optimus Prime/Convoy with the Gundam head was an early stage mock-up done by a TakaraTomy/Hasbro designer to get a basic idea of what the Movie Optimus was going to possibly be like design-wise. (It might be surprising they used a Gundam head, but a year or so back at one of the Botcons, they showed a slide featuring the SDF-1 from Macross as a scale reference...so apparently it's common behind-the-scenes to play with other series, too!) Nice to meet everybody! T
One more, since I just noticed and it looks like it hasn't come up yet: Danny: "Name that thing." http://www.dannychoo.com/slide/eng/charahobby2007/16451/photo/Mecha/ The Zanza Rubu (Zanza Lub?) from Space Runaway Ideon: http://www.gearsonline.net/ideon/buffmecha.php Who the heck is making enemy mecha toys for Ideon? It's great news, but it's about as unexpted as the new Mospeada toys coming out.
I think the Batou and green Uchikoma are simply amazing... The pose is so good.. Danny...how big was it?
That Blue Kamen Rider is Agito GX3. That last one looks sorta like someone from Agito...but I can't tell...they use a lot of the same designs for costumes lol.
SRW Mecha starts with Dygenguar, R-2 Powered, Wildrauptier which is the basis for the R-1 design and the last is SRX which is a combination of R-1, R-2 Powered, R-3 Powered and eventually, R-Gun Powered which transforms into the HTB Cannon.
The last Kamen Rider picture (last picture of the post too) is of Kamen Rider V3.
I didn't know that there was going to be an Evangelion movie...is there a site that has a preview or something?
Ah man, all of these look wonderful. I would love to get my hands on some of the transformers or eva models in particular.
I think the SRX there is the LE version you can only get from Dengeki Hobby. The only one that can combine so far.
transparent Eva Unit 01 - yayyyyyyyyy!
OMG! That's a totally gorgeous Eva-01! Never thought being all white and transparent can be that awesome! The movie Optimus Prime looks detailed! The worst bit is the Gabranth's helmet n mask! Mi totally want that!!!!!!!! Gee, Gabranth (FFXII) sure has an awesome armour.. I only have his Playarts figure =[
Taylor, There is a comment below regarding that. Gorgo, Can only remember that they were small ^^; fatkatgamer, I think that could have been a scratch kit. Taaron, Welcome!
Hmmm...all of the pictured mecha dioramas there seem to have been featured in Dengeki Hobby Magazine in the past few months. The Optimus Prime bust, the Kerorors, the armored Core mecha et al were all in the most recent ones.
holy crap!! Is that the fully transformable SRX from Kotobukiya I see? Man, I wish they did a general release for that monster instead of a limited time job through a hobby mag... And the model of the Big Rang fromo MS Igloo Apocalypse 0079 (large red mecha which made danny think of playing gundam musou) looked really impressive. I wonder what scale it was...
Oh my god. I love the Armored Core ACs, but their color schemes were somewhat painful on the eyes. Too much bright colors and contrast! The Daizengar and the R3 really won me over, though. As if they weren't already that awesome in game, the level of detail present in them just made stop and pause for a moment, just to admire them. Even the Wild Raptor and the SRW - heck, especially the SRX. Hopefully they come out with an Aussenseiter model to accompany the Daizengar!
These mech come from Aura Battlers Dunbine aired around 1976 ,one of the earlier mechs in SRW Original .Of course Danny you see those mech similar with Wing of Rean because they take the same timeline http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/blogg_thumbs/10569.jpg About the SRW mechs ,can't say much since a lot already talk about it .The quality of Daizengar is truly awesome ,make me hope they make Thrudgelmir like that . Danny ,its about time you should play some SRW now ,not only their mech awesome but also their girl is quite cute too ^^ .
The first kamen rider is G4 from Kamen Rider Agito and the second one with the sword is kamen rider alternative zero from kamen rider ryuki
i'd love 2 buy that EVA model the white clear one!!! I WANT IT!! I WANT IT!! (i wonder how much is it)
