man, me too

I really loved this film...can't wait until all the talented people here start tackling the props...it could get expensive...:love

 

[MooCriket]

Agreed! With sequel talk buzzing everywhere right now, I am hoping some art books, models, etc. hit the market soon

Saw the movie 2 days ago, wow, I agree, I want books and stuff from this film too!. The effects looked top notch with none of the blur such as Transformers for example. The Prawns were amazing, just as if they were there in person!.
Does anyone know if Weta Digital here in NZ did the effects as P. Jackson is producer I believe?.

IIRC, Zoic is in there, too.

 

[Chronos]

I thought the 'command ship' looked a bit like Serenity from certain angles.

Wonder if that because of Zoic's involvement?

I cant wait to see some prop/model work out of this film, loved the many concepts that were brought forward and the cool tech that was being thrown around.
hmm cat food

 

[Vaderman]

Wow! I just got back from seeing this and I am with you!
Very cool.
Excellent Mech, I hope there are some decent pieces coming out for this!

 

[DeadDingo]

I would not be suprised if Weta actually released one themselves in the future (fingers crossed)

Saw this - a very cool custom! :cool No idea what it's been customised from though. 9 1/2" tall.

 

[Al-]

Where did you find this custom?

 

[Mike J.]

eBay.

That is AWESOME!!!:thumbsup

 

[JHP]

Woh thats on Ebay? *goes to ebay*

 

[Zodou]

That is pretty cool, you could probably scratch one out of sheet and misc. parts. Probably other mechs and aircraft bits.

 

[thx217]

Very cool.

 

[Sigma-LS]

10,000 cans.

Looks like some parts are from an armored core kit or figure (The legs for sure).

Found another custom based on a more human figure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ku21Cjs438

 

[DeadDingo]

That looks quite good. Deffinately interested in seeing what gets officially released
