Mommar Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I finally got mine yesterday. I've had very little time to mess with it. I'd say some of the design choices in the shoulders and hips really damages the poseability of it compared to the bare hi-metal valk however even still it's more poseable than the Yammie with the armor on. Some very wtf design choices by Bandai, however. It's a cool like figure, it'll pose well next to my Hikaru and Max 1J's and however many Regults I decide to pick up.

ChaoticYeti Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Nice balance on the toes there yeti...it looks like an optical illusion ... how on earth did u do it.... It wasn't even that hard. Just setup the legs, and tilted the waist until it balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So are the Regults and all of the other February Bandai goods going up for pre-order tonight? I checked in last night and saw some members getting prepared, but I figured it wouldn't be last night and instead sometime today or tonight. I just don't want to miss out, these Regults don't cost anywhere near as much as most Macross goods, and it seems like quite a few people are in for multiples, I just want to be ready to nab all that I need, plus a Figuarts Captain Phasma.

treatment Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I was going for a lance, but failed and only managed three Crusaders Are these guys in line with SRC? I've actually managed to avoid every single SRC, but kinda like that it was like 6 inch figure lines between companies and generally be the same size (unlike SoC which scale all over the place), and then they almost fit in some action figure scale and be on the same shelf! Well, the SRCs are also all over the place wrt scaling. Nevertheless, I've attached the sizing/scaling-comparo from the hacchaka-blog review that was posted here before: http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51960242.html Height-wise, the RX-0 is 140mm while the VF-25 is about 125mm. The HM-R in GBP-mode is a bit taller at prolly around 150mm/160mm, but I think the naked 1J would be around 140mm like the RX-0. I'll post some scale-pics when I get mine with my various toys like SRCs, RDs, and RGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So this preorder tonight is for February release. So i guess that after the vf-1s hi metal in Novemeber there is no bandai macross stuff coming out till February? I thought Bandai released stuff every month for Macross. Weird that there isn't a dx release scheduled from Aug to Feb next year. I was hoping for a reissue at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they're preparing some stuff on the upcoming additional Delta announcement. A sneak peek or a big revelation. We will never know... For now, this is the BEST TIME to SAVE because once they announced Delta products... we're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrain Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Got mine today, anyone have luck with compensation from AmiAmi for damaged boxes? While i am happy with the product, I am sad to notice that it doesn't come with pants that fit Max.. Or the other Max's Edited September 30, 2015 by bbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Woo hoo got my 2 Armored VF-1J's today.

Probably I missed it earlier or it wasn't there yet. That's 2 AM for me Edit: Not too familiar with Bandai's marketing strategies, so what are the chances Bandai releases just the heavy and micro missiles pods later on as swappable accessories, instead of all new versions later on? I should say it's more like testing the waters on this enemy mech releases. Hopefully if this sells a lot, those add-on parts should be available via their online web exclusive shop or release it as a new complete set version. Who knows?

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks, no3ljm. A new variant would make more sense, but it all depends on how well the Regult does I guess. I'd get the variants, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Scout really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quick comparison I took of the Hi-Metal Roy VF-1S with the RD Unicorn Destroy mode (Full Action Ver.) to give an idea of what to expect from the fully nude VF-1J. Good night everybody. Gonna wake up later. *sneaks into sh9000's room to turn off his alarm* That's one less competitor for tonight's preorders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
