EXO Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) Somebody wake up Hicks!!! And continuing the recent tradition of selling must-have accessories separate from the main toy itself, you'll have to shell out extra for the APC. Oh well, good enough for me!

lt.actionjackson Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Those both look pretty sweet, what scale are they planning to do them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montarvillois Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, These are really nice. I can't remember how many times I've built these dropships with legos hoping they would eventualy make a toy. Cool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiichi Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 super cool, i asked about this a couple of months ago, is this supose to be a kit or a toy? i assume(hope) its a toy. Yep, it's gonna be a toy. I can't wait! Wonder what accessories will be included since they won't be including the APC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 ...is this supose to be a kit or a toy? i assume(hope) its a toy. According to what little information is available in the article it will be in Aoshimas's "Shin Seiki Gokin" series with an unstated die cast content...it's a toy. Saw-eet! I've been waiting forever to get my hands on something like this...tentative May release...can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I don't really care that it's not included... I'm just glad someone's finally makin a toy out of this baby. I think you can fit a VF-1 into the belly of this beast scalewise. Ths thing is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haro genki Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Nice And that black mold actually looks decent itself... if it were a model, I think I'd try for a black color scheme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 The all black scheme makes it look like a special opps craft, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I was just thinking... if this is a resin build up, it could be a lot smaller than in the pic. A die cast toy that big would be costly... I'd buy it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caufield Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 very nice. I wonder how much it will cost. No matter, i'll probably end up getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 well theres no real way to tell how big it is making it impossible to take a guess? if its 1/48(which i think it is?) with diecast, then it should carry quite the hefty price tag....not that that would stop me from buying it or anyone else for that matter. i'd take a wild guess and say atleast $100 and probably $50 for the APC.

zeo-mare Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 ohh i really want this when it comes out, it looks big and i like the detail i am definetly getting one when it comes out. since it is that big and has diecast in it, i am not expecting to much diecast, if the fame was made of it it will cost a fortune, it is probably various smaller diecast parts on it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 diecast vehicles from Aliens makes me HARD.. TMI... TMI... we didn want to know that. Right now I will opt to skip out on this. I have too much stuff. With my 60 1/48 valks, space is getting very limited. And the 6 1/100 monsters... hell. Anyways, looks good but I will definitely hold off on this. I am waiting for the reissue of the SOP BPX-01 Yamato resissue in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 That Dropship toy is going to be huge. It's quite a bit bigger than the Space 1999 Eagle sitting next to it, which is itself quite a large toy. Hmm..........from the pics, it looks like just the landing gear struts may be diecast. Definitely going to buy one as I'm a huge Aliens fan. Hope they decide to sell it with some in-scale Colonial marine minatures.

Mr March Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Damnit that's one huge dropship! If I had some place to put the thing, I'd be all over it. The Aliens dropship is one of the classic sci-fi vehicle designs of all time. I'd really like to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrox Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Well, that looks to be about 50% or so bigger than the old 1/72 Halcyon...so I would guess it is 1/48, unless Aoshima has decided to go "wacky-scale" like Yamato and a few other Japanese companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 IIRC the dropship is 1/48 and I hope that's an unpainted prototype. From the pics, it looks like an unpainted test-shot or engineering pilot rather than a pre-tooling resin sculpt. If I'm correct, then this means that the diecast and ABS content will already be finalised. IMO the Dropship shown in the pic does seem to be mostly unpainted ABS not diecast, although it's difficult to tell with 100% certainty.

gnollman Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Man... that thing is going to be HUGE!!! Frankly, I'd be surprised if it went for less than 200 bucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynx7725 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 That Dropship toy is going to be huge. It's quite a bit bigger than the Space 1999 Eagle sitting next to it, which is itself quite a large toy. That... thing.. is about the width of a chair, as compared to the chair behind it. I guesstimate the dropship at about 12" to 18", which is considerable. The APC looks to be at around 9" to 11", again, considerable. If these are the actual sizes, you might need to clear some shelf space. At 1/48, these are almost ideal for any sci-fi wargames, and should be fairly popular with gamers...

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) Sold! I'm buying at least one! Hope it includes at least a pilot figure. Edited January 11, 2005 by Retracting Head Ter Ter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll put blood on mine where she rubs her bloody hand after she got capped. Is that the ship from Galaxy 1999? I think they have it at F&S, maybe I can get a peek at the size for comparision sake. Edited January 11, 2005 by >EXO< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Max Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Matt Alt (who was there) say the APC is about 3.5" long and the dropship is about 11 or 12" long. Ship next to it is an Eagle freighter from cult Brit sci-fi series Space:1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Matt Alt (who was there) say the APC is about 3.5" long and the dropship is about 11 or 12" long. So that would make the ship scale fall in between 1/60 and 1/48 (I don't have the specs for the drop ship to figure out the correct scale figures)...either way I can see it sharing room with my Yammie Valks.

EXO Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 An dropship that size would be 1/100... it doesn't look that small. 1.5' would be approx. 1/72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Sounds like the Dropship is 1/72 scale. Remember, Aoshima has all the old Halcyon molds, so it's not unreasonable to believe they're using the old kit as a basis. The missile pods really convince me of that, since they're molded in one piece just like the Halcyon kit was. I hope that gets changed before production. For what we'll be paying for this monster, they could at least give us individual missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
