Yep......you're a Masami fan The Imai stuff is mostly Takani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It was back when battroids were made to look like beefy armor... Before people started reasoning the tech was so advanced they could look scrawny or bug like and still be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It also looks kind of like the style of the old G1 Transformers box art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechapilot77 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 hmm well 12/12/18 is over in hong kong....anyone get a release or shipping notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 They said on Facebook that they are expecting to get some on the 14th, it would take 1-2 days to prepare shipment, and then it would take 7 - 14 days for delivery. They also said that the bulk of the toys won't be delivered until the 21st. So, extrapolating another 1-2 days and 7-14 days, it sounds like most people in the US won't be receiving these toys until the EXACT SAME DAY they get their Bandai DX VF-1 toys. CHAOS!

Thank you for the news and pictures my friend!!!! I'm interested in the figures more than starting another VF-1 line. But it's interesting to see another VF-1 take. My money is on the 1/48 VF-1J from Bandai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convectuoso Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think I'm going to collect all the character figures. Even though the VFs look great, seems like is yet another line that's leaving Max and Ben 's VF-1As out of its lineup. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDimensionalDave Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Wow. Not too bad looking. I’ll happily take every 1/12 figure they throw my way. I’ll buy every single one of those 1/72 Valks um... Veritechs? So long as the reviews are good I’m in. I’ll take every well made, reasonably priced Valkyrie I can get in any scale. The more companies making Macross/Youknowhatech the better. I want to see them bring back that TV SDF-1 in normal colors. Other than being essentially 50% chromed for some reason it looked promising. What ever happened to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing. Nah.... Just take a look at the releases for their SD line.....repaints seem to be their speciality! Everything looks pretty good....good to see the glossy paint is gone on everything....pretty sure the odd colors on the SDF-1 will go away too if ever produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Those prototype figures looking good. Even though Roy’s kinda look like a rejected face design for Cyborg 009. Anyways, wish they consider next their military uniform and their civvies. Hika... er, I mean Rick’s in his Fan Racer get-up. And after their Macross Saga line, wish they continue doing it for the New Generation characters such as Scott, Rand, Rook, and Yellow. (Man, I hate it when I need to Google their Robotech counterparts before posting so I won’t make mistakes. Don’t want to hurt Robotech’s Purists feelings. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechapilot77 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 they actually went fairly lineart accurate with the head size on the valks....haven't ever seen that aside from model kits. looks great overall. i wish the 1/48 upcoming from bandai had the LED gimmicks. the panel lining is a bit strong but better than previous protos. the 1/12 figures...yeah i need that rick and roy and dammit i shouda waited on chinese dress minmei...got the regular one....guess i can double dip. misa looks ok. max's hair is off. dunno why rick has the gun. training montage he wasn't wearing his flight suit.

Why the gun?.....I say why not! ...plus they are probably giving homage to the old mag cover....the old ARII pre-painted kits also did the same...they included Hikaru in a fixed pose holding his gun....
