User talk:Swift
Swift: When you make a post to a talk page, you should sign it so people can tell who said what without looking at the page history. You can sign most easily by typing four tilde's in a row (usually people put two hyphens first). The wiki software will automatically replace the tildes with a link to your user page and the time/date you made the post. --Steve-o 23:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Steve! Wondered what the trick was there. --Swift 00:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Is there a site with all these kiss-player images? I've been sorta interested in learning more about the series, but I'm never sure where to look. -Derik 22:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
All the new ones are from a Kiss Play/Teletraan Go! Go! collection that was recently sold at Wonder Fest in Japan. It collects both comic series, plus the script and images for the live reading and various bits of artwork and behind-the-scenes notes from the designer. --Swift 22:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and you can find out more about the series at http://www.toyvey.com/kisskiss. --Swift 22:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
So... now, correct me if I'm wrong here, because I'm still marvelling at how this stuff has managed to stay so far under the fandom's radar in this day and age... there is no Kiss Players Position manga, right? That's entirely done through the radio show? And there are how many chapters of the original Kiss Players manga, three? And what's the origin of the Teletraan Go Go mini-comics? When did they start? We *really* need to expand that single Kiss Players franchise article in to "manga" and "radio play" articles, like with everything else... oh, and I'm assuming this Quintessa craziness was the subject of this con live performance? - Chris McFeely 23:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- The Kiss Play manga was three monthly chapters, yep. KPP didn't have its own manga, but a number of the 2007 installments of the Teletraan Go! Go! 1-page comic in Dengeki Hobby featured parts of its story, including a summary of the ending. TG!G! ran for a couple of years, generally as a promotional tool for the reissue line, starting with Perceptor in the second update. I'm not sure about splitting the manga and radio play, just because they're all one interwoven story. Right on the Quintessa story, too. --Swift 23:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well, when I say "separate articles," what I really mean is articles for "franchise," "toyline" and "fiction," like we have for all the other lines. Simply in the name of covering it in more detail - like I said, it amazes me how far under the radar this all is, when some of it IS interesting, only to wind up getting overshadowed with HUR HUR PENIS TONGUE. You're probably right that it would be a bad idea to split up radio and manga, as they are all parts of the same story.
- Is TG!G! still going, or is it done now?
- Re that bit about Brave Max becoming Fort Max... he fell to NEBULOS, you say? So the implication is that he became the Hive city that Spike would ultimately rebuild into Fort Max? In "The Rebirth"? Which... isn't part of Japanese continuity? Headaches ahoy! - Chris McFeely 23:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- You might be right on the article splitting. Not sure my own wikia-fu is up to the task, though. TG!G! seems to be over, since the last comic in the collected book is pretty finale-ish. As far as Brave Max...the implication does seem to be that it's Nebulos, but it's also full of guys who already look like Headmasters (possibly just due to the artist's toy-accuracy mania). I'll add a pic to the RID Fort Max page. I came to the same conclusion you did about what they were suggesting. Headaches indeed. --Swift 23:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Based on that picture alone, I'd be more inclined to say it's Master - what with the little robot-lookin' dudes sitting around a barren wasteland looking unhappy. So I guess, then, that the implication would be that he gets rebuilt into Battleship Maximus. - Chris McFeely 23:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- You know, that's entirely possible. My own ignorance of much of the Japanese series showing through, there. --Swift 23:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
