WAVE 1/100 VF-1S/A Strike/Super Valkyrie (Battroid & Fighter)
Big s replied to no3Ljm's topic in Model kits
It was a similar concept, but highly detailed prepainted little 1/144 kits. I miss em. well at least there are still the 1/100 wave kits and a few options in 1/72 -
WAVE 1/100 VF-1S/A Strike/Super Valkyrie (Battroid & Fighter)
Big s replied to no3Ljm's topic in Model kits
I honestly can’t remember who came up with that idea first between tomytec or wave -
We tried it out and even though it’s not the worst of the marvel movies, it’s not really great either. Definitely better than Eternals but probably closer to the second Black Panther movie. It has some very cringy moments and some really odd things going on. Most of those things are already covered in the pitch netting and honest trailer, but the weirdest thing for me was Capt. Marvel. She acts awkwardly overly childish in this one and almost feels like she was totally recast, even though it’s the same actress. My lady didn’t seem to have an opinion on the movie. Usually she tells me right away if she liked it or not. This was odd because she just got up after the X-Men scene and went to bed. Usually she says good night oat least, but not this time. In the morning I asked her if she liked the movie and all she said was that she liked the cats and that was the end of the conversation.

Weirder than that is Solar Opposites. They didn’t even pretend to find someone that sounded like him. They just played it off as that was just circumstance

I’m a bit curious about those O-Ring ones myself. As far as the bigger super 7 figures, I really love the classic cobra trooper and think that’s another one to add in a collection

They just need to get away from the multiverse and get a good writing team. The multiverse thing works ok for more comedic stories, but is really annoying beyond that. It’s definitely a Deadpool thing, but I think a lot of people want that Wolverine action as well

I’ve never actually seen one of these kits completed, can’t wait to see it finished

I’m an old bastard, so I get that. I really wasn’t at all excited the first time I saw a VF-25 in the way I was seeing stuff from before plus. I even like the Zero stuff, but the later ones look really flimsy.

Depending on price I might have to get into this line. They look amazing for being so tiny -
WAVE 1/100 VF-1S/A Strike/Super Valkyrie (Battroid & Fighter)
Big s replied to no3Ljm's topic in Model kits
They seem to be more dyrl than og series, so the D would be odd especially since even the og D type had some body differences. But back to these being more dyrl, the J is barely seen. They did do a standard 1J, but it had movie hands and I think it also had a movie style pilot, but oddl these all have tv style stabilizers on the legs. The 1A definitely has the movie head and they all have movie hands as well -
Budget line, I remember when the larger figures were $20

The Orange cat and Moderoid kits look entertaining. I like the redesign kits from Orange cat, but the sculpt on the Moderoid looks great for sticking to the anime

I could care less about the others, but I may have to get that Ryu Hyabusa

Don’t forget the shipping. Just about $1000.00 for a set of six inch figures. It’s tough because even with picking and choosing, these individually are still too expensive. They look great though, and I’m trying to tell myself that I don’t need any of them because I got most of them for a fraction of the price and twice the size

Honestly, I skipped it because I hadn’t heard any praise for the film. Only complaints that it was too long and not focused on the right things for being so long.

I figured that’s what was going on and why I posted the pic. Hasegawa wasn’t going for a perfect anime look when they started doing the VF-1 kits. They were more of a real world model company at the time and tried taking real world aesthetics to the subject. Not saying it’s a bad choice, just a different take on the subject. When they decided to do a battroid kit, they decided to try and keep things consistent rather than anime accurate. The line art has very different proportions that don’t work for a full transformation. thick legs and arms, stubbier intakes and other details in the battroid that don’t match the fighter. That’s why there are so many compromises in transforming vf-1 toys, like super thin legs or arms and other details changed to make the toys work. And that’s not always bad either, just a compromise to make things work. Max Factory decided not to do transforming or even parts forming on their kits and also decided that things didn’t have to be consistent with their fighter kit, so to those that are used to newer toys and kits, these Battroid kits will probably appear a bit too thick or chunky. It’s just what people have been seeing for so many years that that’s the way it may appear to people.

Looks like it has really great articulation

Big s replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I didn’t really dislike Unicorn until it started getting towards the end. I actually had hope things were going somewhere and everything just felt more and more pointless as it went on. The stupid box everyone was fighting for didn’t even seem like anything worth all the trouble. Narrative just didn’t seem to have a glimmer of hope from the start. No characters to care about and the mobile suits were all just the same stuff we just saw.- 3806 replies

Big s replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It just feels weird and more of a toy commercial than anything before. The story felt slapped together as well. It’s like if Unicorn was the first film of the Star Wars sequels where there was promise of something great with great visuals, but a little lacking in other spots and Narrative was hopefully the last because it was a jumbled mess. It also just adds to the mess of the universal century that I feel I was better off without seeing. I love the designs from the unicorn era of stuff mostly, but really hate it story wise- 3806 replies

I had a Cait Sith figure, but can’t remember if it was from the original game line or one of the other ff7 lines they had going. gotta agree about the prices. I may get Vincent and Cid, but the whole line is gonna be way way too expensive

1D is cool, but I’m still waiting for the 1A to go with the Max/ Kakizaki fighters
