So someone definitely got the pilot size wrong... but if Yamato got it right with their V2... then it looks like the DX is probably right also and the Yamato 1/48 was way too big...
-
Are you guys sure the pilot really is small? Like, have you measured it and extrapolated height?
-
So the next Bandai announcement for a June release has to be a Delta toy right? Either Chuck or Armor most likely though there are some potential wild cards out there. It seems like the armor was the thing they were teasing the most.
-
Even without it being diecast, it already operates WAY better than any Yamato backpack hinge. That said, it scares me that there's no obvious locking mechanism for installing fast packs or other boosters.
-
Didn't they tease something about accessory pilot figures? Or am I misremembering?
-
Yes, it seems like they're a hair larger than Bandai expected them to be... like if you could shave them just a tiny bit toward the top they would fit better.

The. Q Rau was an option in the poll the Monster won. The N-Ger showed up in what looked to be a finished prototype at a few shows before disappearing like the Tomahawk and Phalanx.

The two 1S toys would be strike since they include the cannon, the 1A is super
-
Maybe I'm generous but it looks like the crotch, back of legs, feet, and head are the biggest differences. I would be happy with a swap out head, crotch, and detail piece for the back of the legs (which could easily plug into the DYRL ports in the back of the legs) and that'd be good enough for me.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
jenius replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That'd be great for me! -
I would love an announcement that makes me more certain we're getting the DYRL version... Let alone a TV version. Who has a line at comparison? Maybe they can sell one that can be adapted to be either with some parts swapping.
-
Have they started doing POs?
-
It came with DYRL style hands.
-
Don't forget the missiles to go inside the GBP as another TWE. This thing is going to get expensive.
-
Lolz... TWE exclusive head.
-
Ya know... a DX GBP might also come with a gray visor Hikaru head since the head is a ball joint.
-
Must have gone fast!
-
Heat can be a problem, I live just south of SF though so I'm my case, it's probably not much of a problem. Age can do it all in it's in though. Does anyone want to post pics of their 1/48 Hikaru in a similar group shot so we can judge?
-
Obviously I can't swear it hasn't yellowed because I don't have a factory fresh one to compare it to but I can tell you its spent its life in storage other than photo shoots and it is a uniform color throughout. The chest on my Roy toy definitely has yellowed a bit.
-
Going pure crystal ball since Bandai has given no indications on the matter, I think there's a strong likelihood of some sort of a VF-1S Focker release. Maybe a TV release without super parts like what they did with Hikaru's VF-1J. Since they did a Hikaru VF-1J after the GBP, I think they'll take their time before coming back around to that. In fact, it would kind of make sense to do a Focker VF-1S after the VF-1D.

I will show the head twist gimmick, I'm surprised no one has talked about it since it's illustrated in the instruction manual. Answers: Gunpod has no impact on the head exposing/twisting gimmick. The stand adapter limits it but doesn't inhibit it entirely. I don't want to rush a review up too quickly... I want to make sure I've handled the toy more so it's not just first impressions. I'm going to transform the toy a few times taking photos of it in all modes in different poses then I'll probably do a transformation guide then a review.
-
Finished my first transformation to battroid mode. It seems pretty clear the legs were meant to stay on a lot better than they do. They give you a tool to pry the housing open. That tool is totally unnecessary as-is. I hope future variants tighten that up. On the flip side, I wouldn't mind if they loosened up the hips a bit (but maybe that's why the intakes stay attached so firmly in GERWALK/fighter modes). I think a lot of the complaints about parts getting jostled out of position stem from the fact that joints that are normally easy to move are really tight out of the box so people need to man-handle it a bit to get it in the pose they're going for (or to complete transformation). Once the joints loosen up a bit and people get more accustomed to the transformation many of the minor issues will resolve themselves.

We're currently waiting to find out what Macross item will drop in June...
