JetJockey Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It looks good in this video. The price will be too much though. If they had some small valkyries on it, moving main guns, and if it was the same price as the VF-1 cockpit I would consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm sorry...the lights are just.....all in the wrong spots!! The only ones that look cool and like they belong are the ones on the deck of the Prometheous. The paint work and weathering look nice, but again...the SDF-1 wasn't grey or silver!!! It was off white!!! It almost looks like someone who has watched to many Micheal Bay Transformers movies got a hold of the thing and just stuck..bits..all over it.

technoblue Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I do not like it. The price is insane, and the SDF-1 has those blue bug eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinking lights crammed into the ends of the gun barrels... just what were they thinking? *shakes head in disbelief* 18 hours ago, tekering said: Instead, those garish colors and nonsensical placement give the model an effective sense of... holiday decoration. Man, if they'd gone all-out and done it up like in the christmas episode with lights strung across it... I would at least give them points for courage.

Same here given the price of the cockpit. I'm not an expert on the look of the SDF-1. If they make those additions in my previous post this is a maybe for me.

captain america Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The oversized, crude detailing is partly what kills the piece. The overall proportions look good, but to properly convey a sense of scale, the details would need to be much finer. The Christmas tree effect is the real nail-in-the-coffin, though: no proper warship would be covered in such an array of useless lights! It's almost like they're taunting me to come out of retirement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 If it were sold by sideshow and offered a payment plan I might consider it. Although I'd rather get the 36" Vader they are taking orders for now for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll be attacked for this, Cap'n, but I urge you not to waste your valuable time and considerable talent on mecha that have already been done (and done, and done, and done again). Macross has been exhausted, and yet Bandai, Arcadia, Hasegawa, Metalbox and countless others continue going back to the same well... so it'll be done again soon. The Southern Cross market may be significantly smaller, but it's been virtually ignored for decades now, and there are some timeless designs waiting to be realized in physical form. Looking for a new challenge? Tackle the iconic Bioroid. Prefer something relatively simple? A decent Spartas Hover Tank would be an easy project for you, and we'd be all over it. Plus, you can charge whatever you want, and we'll bite; no competing product on the radar, or even on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkArchon3000 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Those mecha would be cool. I would be in for a 1/3000 TV SDF-1. It's never been done properly and my Macross collection seems incomplete without an actual Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Waitwaitwait.... "vacuum tube digital sound system"? Really? REALLY?! They're actually going to cram one of those dumb-nuts hipster retrotech vacuum tube amps into the base so it has to be plugged into a wall to make sounds? Why not go whole hog and store the sound clips on an 8-track too? Is that the point at which things become "too hard"? You can't check ONE MORE bullet point and use a crappy storage mechanism to go with your crappy amp? Heck, even ompact casstte wold get that pseudo-nostalga cachet.

They can make this just a bit more fun by including a couple of small flashlights that cam be removed from the base. dim the room, sit back , and shine the flashlight on the surface of the sdf-1 , moving it around while yelling like a typical anime girl. Instant live pinpoint barriers action. But need to keep pets away as they will jump at the moving light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
