The video features work being done on the upper body and torso. The statue is being rebuilt at Diver City Tokyo, a complex under construction on the island by Mitsui Fudosan and Fuji TV.

PALLADIUM BOOKS GIVES A UPDATE ON THE ROBOTECH: THE NEW GENERATION RPG
Kevin Siembieda gives fans a update on the new RPG.
UPDATE: Robotech® The New Generation™ Sourcebook ships tomorrow – Friday, December 2. We were expecting the book sooner, but our printer was backlogged and there was a slight delay. We’ll be busy packing and shipping tomorrow afternoon. Anyone who has placed a pre-order will see their book put in the mail on Friday.
We are very excited about Robotech® The New Generation™ Sourcebook, especially that it offers the ability to play mecha and O.C.C.s from ALL eras of Robotech® in one setting against the Invid. Just think about the possibilities of Veritech Fighters, Destroids, Battloids, Hover Tanks, Cyclones, and “Frankenmecha” – giant robots combined with the limbs, weapons and body parts of two or more mecha – all working together to stop a common enemy. Epic. Plus, there is more information about the Invid, rules for creating Frankenmecha, vehicle combat and crash damage as well as stats and descriptions for new weapons, new vehicles, seven new O.C.C.s (including Invid Genetics and Cyborg Experiments, Invid Princes and Princesses and Resistance Fighter O.C.C.s), key characters from the TV show, world overview, great art and more. Ships December 2.
MENTION OF CARL MACEK ON ANIME NEWS NETWORK
A interesting exchange on The Anime News Network Hey Answerman Column.
Here is part of the question:
If you had an unlimited supply of money, and maximum sway in any negotiation, what would you do to help the North American Anime Industry?Here is part of the Answerman's response.
And in all honesty, even with all that theoretical money and influence at my disposal, I'd still be just one dude. Certain genres and mediums don't seem to catch on and stay relevant just because of one high-profile endorsement; I can't think of anybody who ran out and learned Coptic just because of George Clooney. As much as I hate sounding like a pretentious twat, I'm going to say it - it's all about hitting the zeitgeist. If something hits at the right place at the right time, it's a sure-fire thing. And some people are great at predicting that; Carl Macek was a visionary in that sense, in that he knew there was an audience that was looking for stuff like Akira and Robotech, but they didn't know what it was yet, and he was the only guy who could give it to them.It's worth reading the whole thing.
