Darknut Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I'm poor. I must wait till the gods of fortune smile and tell me which bills to skip to pay for this. Or just work 2 days of overtime and a drill weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 The sooner the better for me! I've been dying to get a new Macross toy, and now I've got both this and the 1/48th scale GBP armour to look forward to! Now if only Yamato would get around to a 1/48th scale perfect variable no parts removed VF-4 Lightning III! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 HLJ now has the 'just in' tag against this item........ not marked as in stock, but i will be watching closely That happens a lot with HLJ. When something is slated for the end of a month, it always goes to "Just In" status. When it doesn't arrive they update it to whatever the new date is, and goes back to "pre-order" mode.

robomatt Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Evertime I go and drool at the pictures of the upcoming Koenig Monster I get concerned regarding one aspect of the toy... Poseability in one major area. Knees in robot mode: The toy appears to have no knees. Also far less important but worth bringing up. Waist joint? I will still probably buy it because it is so cool. These are not deal breakers but I sure would like the toy to be poseable for the cost. What do you think?

Renato Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 This thing about the knees is something which has bothered me ever since I looked at the lineart for the first time. On the design, the legs do not seem to bend backwards at the knees. This design aspect appears to have been carried over to the toy design. Perhaps they do bend back, I hope so, but this may be a forward-bend deal only, like the Bandai VF-17 (which is weird anyway, because the lineart shows that it does not bend its legs forward like most Gerwalks, yet the toy legs can ONLY bend this way). Lastly, yes, I too want die-cast. But recent Yamato toys have disappointed me in this area, and I do not have high hopes for this one. I will get it anyway, though, since I've wanted this toy for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
