Maybe that depicts the real world sizes and, for purposes of the dramatized TV retelling of events, they made everything alien bigger for dramatic purposes.
-
If you believe the official specs, they are 1/60 scale in the Macross universe and scale perfectly with a Yamato. Of course, they were often depicted as being much larger in the show. You would have to backward engineer a proper height from the most consistent sizes represented in the show to figure out which VF-1 scales best 'to your memory'.

Exactly! Even when BigWest and HG were at their most contentious, it was never difficult to order from a toy from Japan and have them ship it internationally. Very strange what is happening here and I can only assume it's driven by Sentinel. If I had to guess, they received a strongly worded letter from HG saying they need a license to sell internationally and they have WAY over-reacted to that. Of course, then they go and tweet about Robotech so... that seems to dispute my guess.
-
The normal Japanese stores aren't listing it and say it's only available in Japan. In the meantime, some international stores have listed it like bbts. It's a mess that sentinel should figure out. If I could order it on HLJ today, I would.

And that's the small box! The later release with the YF-21 and YF-19 super parts was even bigger. -
If only they would make it widely available!
-
Ooh I missed this... now I'm afraid to take my old Yamatos out of storage!

The "Movie Edition" WHAM SDF-1 is painted with alternating grays while the non-movie version has more of metallic blue hue. These are obviously very old pics but the movie version is the left and the normal version to the right:

I wonder if the arm armors on super Parts will need to be low profile given how much the arms stick out underneath.
-
Still have the goofy elbows.

Wow, good for KitzConcept! It looks like they're ready to produce their pilot figures already so that target shouldn't be terrible to meet. I saw that they're planning on Q1 reissues of a few of their more popular VF-1 schemes so that should help them produce a run of those arcade VF-1A toys finally. After that... well, I wish 'em the best! Once I get my GBPs I'll be happy to start preordering some items from them again.

The weathered battlepod would be an instabuy for me. Hope it goes on the store after the Kickstarter.
-
I've never opened my Houquet but I was excited thinking it had redesigned swing bars that would be less likely to crack... This is obviously a bummer.
-
I still haven't even received a shipping notice. I wonder if they only shipped the ones where people paid for express shipping and us slow-boaters are going to have to wait until more arrive from the factory.
-
Looks good on my phone! I'm sure it will get yanked down soon though
-
Not from the usual stores though if you're outside of Japan which is lame!
-
I know sentinel never bothered with a Robotech license, but that shouldn't matter. We bought all our macross items from HLJ for years. Sentinel is shooting themselves in the foot here.
-
Further embarrassing Harmony Gold and their inability to get a Robotech movie made.

I think mine are flush on both versions... If there not, they're so close I didn't notice.
-
Why is the Tread or Legioss reissue still not on the usual websites?
-
I would interpret that to mean if the hail Mary doesn't score the touchdown, KC will look a lot more like Arcadia going forward.
-
No movement on mine yet and I think I picked surface shipping so it'll probably be a while.
-
Probably needs some time to process before it's available in higher definition but here's the corrected video with the double-jointed knee discussed: Thanks for anyone who left a comment pointing out the issue!
-
So I didn't notice the toy had a double knee joint because it was so stiff... after some comments I tried harder and got it to move so I'm going to do a quick edit and upload again.

Lol, thanks for the compliments. Hopefully the review lives up to expectations! I think my next ThreeZero video will be a direct comparison of the Yamato VF-1J weathering Hikaru vs. the ThreeZero Weathered VF-1J Rick. I'll probably take a break and do some other reviews before coming back to it though.
