Hey @Darkspire17 which toy is this?  Is it the 1/24 Arcadia?

1/24, Yeah. 

Finally got the Garland! This figure is frakking FANTASTIC! can not wait to grab the hargun!

It turns out that for this jet, the entire Garland with its rider in bike-mode goes into the cockpit. When the jet goes into robot / slave mode, the Garland shifts into its chest. There's a schematic drawing of the same bike-in-jet concept, but of a different FSW jet design below. The designer acknowledges some intentional differences with the canard positioning to make it different from (presumably) Macross's VF-19. 
 

 

I got to say, I'm getting more excited for these designs, as they combine 2 mecha types I love - jets and bikes. Although, the bike-in-cockpit concept is something tangentially familiar. Where have I seen that before?? 
 

 

What i find most interesting is about this Pluto(?) is the fact it's canonizing RTM's use of the fighter, Having a Hargun serve as a cockpit and as an escape mechanisim.
Idk if that WAS a concept explored for Part 1, and was only made use of in RTM, or if it was a unique thing done for RTM just to have a similar moment to Hikaru in his VF-1D. 

But its nice to see more of the Fighter and Garland compatibility, since the Garland itself is a multi-use terminal. So it being used for piloting Larger craft dose make sense, and also Thematically matches the use of the Flaggar as a Hargun transport.

It is too bad that none of the toys have hatches that can be opened to reveal missiles.

youre kidding me?? i assume at least the MH had them considering the hatches look like they could open up, no wonder i couldent find a review that showed them

From KitzConcept Facebook feed during ACGHK2023.

 

Other angle including Olson's type from Facebook Orguss group.

 

 

Kits has stolen this design from a piece of fan art afaik, witch is unfortunately common for 3P's with the RT license

Thank you. 

 

sad that this release is so poorly done, not bothering to ask TMS for a rescan, just the old terrible JP bluray masters, with all grain and scratched scrubbed, an absolutely terrible way to release a show

so incredibly hyped for the hargun! Despite me not owning Arcadia's Garland (yet.)
I plan to get 2 of them, and paint one up as the Space Combat ver, as i really love that varaint, and the spotlight it got for Robotech The Movie's ending!

Really interested in the trailer, hopefully that's getting produced, but considering its still a prototype model, i kinda doubt that (someone mentioned it a few pages back not getting produced but i'm not sure if that's true or not, if so 😥).

Wonder if we'll ever get the Flaggar for this, that would be really fun to see, hell maybe the pluto fighter!

I don't bother posting much anymore, but this?....

You need to feel proud of what you did here arbit, because as Kup said, "You've done an amazing job lad, AMAZING!"

Even got big ups from the master 'MechTech' himself!

Was that a subtle TFTM refference?  

this is frakking amazing! id LOVE to build one of these for myself, any idea what he used? (ps i am new to modeling), but still this is brilliant!

id love to build one that could hold a 1/60 but that would be difficult with mounting (possibly a metal cradle? that has faux super armor that reaches under the arms with it's frame?)

It's only just begun  What are you getting next?

Most likely a 1D, but i prefer DYRL valks over TV, so i may pick up a max instead, that or a CM's Legioss tho both it and the aoshima have issues so im not sure witch to go with tbh.

Ever since ive gotten my 1J im in love with the 1/60s, ive been waiting to have these babies since 2008!

Hey, i bought 2 yamato v2.0 DYRL valks recently, both with shoulder splits and one damaged canopy, One set of missing integrated hands. Anyone have any replacement shoulders? id be interested in buying them ( 3D printed replacements seem to be very pricey ) as well as a possible donor Cockpit canopy, Unless their is a method to remove the "effect" with chemicals.

I am also looking for a set of Integrated hands.

Are you okay with the modex not matching with the S head on the A body? Hikaru's A is 011 while the S is 001.

nah, it dosent bother me personally, just as long as i have head options for display, im happy

Hey guys, Im picking up a VF-1A hikaru soon to go along with my  DYRL focker and TV 1J, i thought instead of getting 2 Hikaru's, id just buy a head of a hikaru 1S so i can display it as either a 1S or 1A. Anyone got a spare i can buy. I am also looking for a TV Focker Pilot figure.

Was that VFactory regult ever produced? im seriously interested in that

Hey guys, i dont post much here but id like some help, found a pal over on FB selling a yamato Super 1J, im unsure what release it specificaly is (V1, V2 Ect), it has detachable legs witch ive never seen on a yamato valk before, im about to get more photos of it from him for more clarrification. I know it has a broken backpack hinge, and am not sure if that's simple to fix, Any info would be great.

It was most likely sold at conventions and through fansub catalogs in the 1980's and early 90's. Even though it's a bootleg, it's undoubtedly a piece of Macross fan history. It harkens back to a time before ebay and torrents, where finding authentic Macross videos was rare and expensive for American fans. Whoever initially bought that VHS tape probably felt like they won the lottery back then.

funny thing you can litteraly buy the original tape from the RT store, seems they uncovered some excess stock, they are selling RT on tape aswell, noi dea why

The one with the game...yep have the BD bootleg with all the gore restored!

idk why you would need a bootleg, the newest bd is 40$, you can just use external subs

Hey, looking for the dvd release of Macross ii: The movie, mostly for its dub, aparently their was a cardboard  card release with 2 discs (only evidence is an ebay listing).
