Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA Vol. 1 Blue Ray DVD available on March 12

I'm really out of the loop when it comes to the Gundam Unicorn OVA that is coming out this year. So was surprised to find out that Volume 1 of the DVD is available on March 12 this month on a world wide release schedule. This means that it will already have English version in it.

G.I. Joe Toy Collection and how to fix broken figures

Update: A more detailed post with pictures on how to fix broken rubber bands in GI Joe figures can be found here.



In the coming weeks I'll start posting my G.I. Joe - Real American Hero figure Collection. Have to take some time to do some repair of the figures first.

Due to the age of the figures the rubber band that is used to hold the legs, hips and torso together had deteriorated. My figures are usually stored in a box away from sunlight, why they deteriorated I don't know, could be because of some built up moisture.

Wall of Pioneers in Macross Plus

I was watching Macross Plus OVA during the weekend and noticed this panel of photos in Col. Millard's office. I saw this in Episode 3, the time when Col. Millard was informing Isamu, Yang and Guld that Project Nova had been cancelled. At first glance it meant nothing to me and I hardly noticed it because it was only shown for a few seconds. Thanks to the powers of the DVD player I was able to freeze the frame and get a better look at it.

Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada DVD

Even before Robotech came out I was already a fan of Macross. So I got surprised when somebody told me that the US version was different from the original series. And that the entire Robotech Franchise was just 3 Japanese cartoon series that had no relation to one another and was joined to create it.

Macross Frontier DVD #9 (Japan Version)

My Japanese is a bit off but thanks to Google Toolbar's Translate function, I can understand it more easily and improve my Japanese while I'm at it.

According to the official Macross Frontier Blog, the 9th DVD of Macross Frontier will be released on April 24th in Japan. The DVD will have a special message from Shoji Kawamori (series creator). A long with that, some of the cast members have provided audio commentary for the last episode of the series. The last episode is #25 and its titled "Anata no Oto" or "The sound of you" in English.
