Available sizes are my issue....Japanese sizes seem to run one size smaller than US sizes....bought a COSPA tshirt at XL and it was more of a L..... Seems like it would be easy to get one done at some tshirt store....not sure if they would be able to print on a similar jacket

With Bandai HMR almost being done with the "Macross" portion of the line, I am not sure if this will cause any market share issues....If you haven't been collecting HMR, not sure if you would want to dive in now with the higher prices for the earlier stuff...if prices are a concern that is. If you just want Macross, I think the KC line is a very good option, especially if they come through with things like the destroids and enemy mechs as they claim to want to release at some point. And they did also tease that big "TV" SDF-1. I think they are able to tackle it and produce something good....hopefully they listen to their fans about the color and fact that it was essentially a Hasegawa type hybrid...that we need a 100% TV version. To be honest, I think the biggest danger to KC is the HG license and wether or not we get "Bandai'd" with a right-sizing of the DX.

The earliy prototypes and demos for the KC 1/72 VF-1S had much more heavy-handed panel lines and thicker panel lines in general. I believe they actually delayed the release due to this problem. I think the final version's finish adds a look of "high-end" to the toy that appeal to me, as someone who does not have the time or skill to do this type of finish myself. I generally am not a fan of any panel-lining, but this toy has just enough for me to consider moderate. I think standing the KC next to your typical Yamato/Arcadia/Bandai makes them look too plain for me now. As for what I would choose if I did not have the means or desire to own both...I would go with the HMR.....at least until all the "initial release" quirks are ironed-out from the KC VF-1S. For me, the draw is for a complete line of "MACROSS" TV VF's, Destroids, and Enemy Mecha. However, I think the Monster may prove to be too much for this line, as it has been for every other Macross toy line until the HMR. Time will tell. For now, I am still all in on the KC 1/72 Macross line....could care less about the Mospeada or Southern Cross, which is also an area of concern if KC strays to far away from the Macross part of Robotech.

The only "alien" mech toy ever made outside of SDFM or DYRL is the SV-262.....this would be an awesome release if Bandai continues on their Macross Plus run...DX or HMR would be ok with me...
-
So how many have they not given us at least one version from either TV or DYRL.....there is not that many to begin with... Q-Rau N-Ger We technically have had 3 different Regults and 1 Glaug.....but like I said..there are basically just 4 to choose from....Regult, Glaug, Q-Rau and N-Ger....so we are 50% complete....just like the Destroids.... And I think the DYRL N-Ger has a good shot of being released soon.....patience padawans!
-
They should just combine A/B and C/D and either drop E or make it a one-off with all possible weapons and armor.....maybe they would get their pre-orders if customers/fans felt they were get more for their money. Nahhhh!!!
-
The Yamato V1 hasn't aged well at all.....but it scooped the Bandai on that waist swivel! I would have preferred they skipped it....or come up with something that didn't become an unintended parts-former.
-
And yet...if released as is....would we buy it? It would be the only 1/6 Hikaru in town.....perhaps on deep discount? It probably would not be less than the MSRP on the upcoming KC 1/12 Hikaru. The dead expression on the face, especially the eyes, somewhat reminds me of Elijah Wood's Frodo Baggins.....after being wrapped up by the giant spider...
-
That is a great idea.....I have little faith that Bandai would make them....but maybe one of our resident 3D pros could?

Very fair review. I think the issues it has does not keep it from being a great addition to any Macross collection. Ironically, the most damning part of the review in my opinion, was not even against this toy, but rather against Arcadia"s so-called "Premium Finish". The side by side pics were like a smoking gun against Arcadia's PF nonsense. Same goes for Bandai's DX. Sure it's "PF", but it should have been "KC" finish. If anything...the finish on the KC 1/72 VF-1S does set a new bar in what "Premium Finish" should be and what we should be asked to pay for it.
-
Well....in all fairness.....the actual cockpit is pure win....Robotech or not....which I think is why it makes it odd that they decided to cut corners on the 1/6 figure....can it even wear the helmet or can it just hold it? Also does the face sculpt look different on the final product?
-
If you like to display your valks more so than handling/playing with them...then the KC 1/72 VF-1S should satisfy...it looks really good, the tampo and markings are what you would expect from a top of the line toy....it has it's faults, but they are nothing that will take away from being able to display it and enjoy looking at it....the light-up gimmick is also well-done and not superflouous, like Toynami's glowing head visor on their MP 1/55. Not sure if KC will address any of it's issues on the next releases, the biggest being the connection points from the intakes to the main body...and to be honest, it only really affects gerwalk mode the most, but it will still hold a decent pose with some "massaging" at the intake connections. Battroid and fighter modes are pretty solid...with fighter mode feeling the most solid. Battroid feels a little "wobbly" at the knee joints, but it does not hamper it from standing or posing. Hopefully, KC will tighten the knees up a bit on future releases.

Several of the promo shots included the "Space use" helmet...also, the flight suit without the "elvis collar".... Also, I always imagined the flight suits being made of cloth materials...not latex!
-
Imagine if it goes to $500+ due to short supply on release day....
