Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
antilles replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I would say roughly yes but would emphasize roughly. Keep in mind I only have a couple of 1/144 models/figs for comparison to the RDs (and everything is packed away) but the Sazabi RD is bigger figure than most RDs so it would be comparable (again by perfect scaling it should probably be somewhat larger next to a gelgoog). Gouf custom again is close to 1/144. I've seen some people mention that the RD Zaku II is a bit undersized - ie. still close to 1/144 but maybe a bit more of a size difference. In sum, you're not going to have perfect scaling but I would be content to have them all on the same shelf. Hope that helps. Only other thing is just double check you like the styling on the Zaku II - some have mentioned it's too 079 anime styled compared to more recent representations. The Gouf custom seems to be well regarded (particularly it's insane amount of accessories). It's sad that I've got all of these RDs and yet they (like most of my Valks for that matter) remain in packaging - one day I'll finally get them on display... -
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

Officially they're non-scale. Practically they work out to just a little smaller than 1/144 scale - ie. they are comparable to HG scale in Gundam plamo (though as stated they're typically a little smaller than their model compatriots at HG, they would look fine displayed next to them). Note that this applies mainly to the Gundams - you'll find that the other RD figures tend to fall in the same ballpark size as the Gundam line even when in "real life" they should be bigger or smaller - ie. Code Geass RDs are about the same size as Gundams and while L-gaim figures are somewhat taller, they are not tall enough to be considered properly in scale with the Gundams. -
Thanks for the answer. It's too bad there's no "Cosmo fleet" equivalent for Macross (trading figures that cover a few different series' capital ships inc. Gundam and Yamato)

Which toy series are the Zentraedi ships from?

So any idea if this is indeed one of the safe Vf-1J Hikaru's on sale (shoulder wise)? Also anyone with both a Vf-21 and Vf-22 1/60 feel the differences are enough (any?) to warrant having both?
-
Thanks for the replies. I'm apt to leave mine in fighter mode, but it's nice to have an idea of the propensity to suffer shoulder damage / possible causes of same.
-
On a related topic, I've seen mention of loosening the problematic metal bars in the shoulders as being a suitable prophylactic measure of avoiding the shoulder problems in the first place. I've a recently bought Vf-1A Hikaru and was considering it - does anyone have any experience with this?

This and the Fire Valkyrie are indeed quite nice but I'd definitely love to see the -P variant - probably my favourite Valk colour scheme of them all
