Ranka Lee's voice actor, Megumi Nakajima recently had a contest sponsored by Hobby Japan. Apparently she designed a custom scheme for the VF-25 from Macross Frontier and the folks at Hobby Japan built it for her. The contest is a trade!
Scan courtesy of Tokyo Hunter. I read all of this a while ago in my own Hobby Japan but he's already gone through the trouble of scanning the image already, saving me the trouble. I find this way to be more efficient than scanning it myself. There's always someone on the internet that's beaten me to the punch. Most of the time at least.
Participants can win her custom designed VF-25 by sending in one of their own! Participants are to send pictures of their own VF-25's to Hobby Japan which will then be judged by Megumi and some of the Hobby Japan staff. The winner then gets to trade for this one.
What do you folks think? Does this sound like a fun contest to you? I'm not sure if I want a pink Messiah but maybe if I were a fan of Megumi's I would? And giving away a model that I spent so much time to build? Well trading... but even still... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm not sure if I could do it. It would be a nice souvenir. Maybe if she made it herself...
And another thing... I know these women are very pretty and feminine and want to express that when asked about what they want their mechs to look like but... really... does it ALWAYS have to be ALL PINK?! Surely there are some other feminine colours.... Hell even a little bit of white tossed in there... Anyone remember Lacus Clyne's Zaku? Or even Strike Rouge for that matter.
Oh well. Here are some more pics of the young woman in question. And I do mean young. Only 19 years old!
*grumbles* I was young once! *shuffles away with cane and corn cob pipe* *sits in his rocking chair and carves a small Gundam statue out of wood*
She seems very... pleasant.
like the VF-25, tho i don't watch macross...
ReplyDeletei dun really mind the light pink, but it'll put me of if it's dark pink....
off***
ReplyDeleteToo much pink... No colour variation.....
ReplyDeleteI don't like 1 toned color scheme...
sym021 - yeah me too. its good to get some variety in there.
ReplyDeleteastray - i didnt like macross frontier at all really. the battle scenes were cool. thats about it. its basically a really long music video mixed with a disney type of high school drama. bleh. i think i might like dark pink more. maybe with some purple. could work!
