jvmacross Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Maybe they should scrap the 1/60 and release ONE in 1/48 DX scale.....an all inclusive armor set...meaning all armor/weapon combos in one set.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the proper way to collect Macross! Except you need to apply the same logic to purchasing Valks. Rinse and repeat.

When I was first buying these things I wasn’t making six figures so I didn’t double/triple up on releases like I can now or else I’d have a lot more 1/60 brownies than just the one I have now.

Saburo Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) More photos of the 3D Prototype 1:60 OWL ONE Low Viz. I also wanted to share the when FEXT said they would send me the armor to photograph, I thought I was just getting the armor. To my surprise the armor was attached to Valkyries, that is cool of them to trust me with Valkyries from someones collection. These are not just scaled up from the HMR version, FEXT has added more details to the armor and it looks badass. Hopefully these photos will help get the order numbers make it to production.

Sanity is Optional Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Looking good, glad I switched my order to the D set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was pretty indifferent as to if the 1/60 armor was made or not before but after seeing these pics, I definitely hope it gets made and I need FEXT to acknowledge my request to switch to the D.

Sanity is Optional Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hey @Saburo, any chance you could dress up a Milia in that armor? I was wondering how it'd look on a colored valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look like 3D printed prototype parts, which means that they probably don't have the pins and slots properly toleranced to hold together on their own.

Mommar Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 From the first photos I noticed they added so much more detail to the 1/60 versions. I hope they get made, I'm happy I have all five sets on pre-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible that they aren’t receiving the emails or have something mixed up. I first wrote to them on 12/5/18 and they responded and changed my order on 12/10/18 but they had my name mixed up. I wrote to them again and they corrected the mix up. Try emailing them one more time or if you have facebook send them a message. They usually respond back through messenger.

Alphahorizon Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 How are the color schemes chosen once they are pre-ordered? I'm looking at the VF-1J above, Low vis version has 2 shades of blue, but on the site the version D is dark gray. Just asking for clarification purposes.

The VF-1J above is the same dark grey color scheme just the lighting is giving it a cooler bluish color.
