Looks like the project will go ahead, because demand is surprisingly high. Will open the pre-orders October 28th. 

Hnnngh.  Imma hafta see what the final cost is before committing.  I want one of each gender, but dunno if I can afford either of them at the moment.

Pretty please consider doing Dana Sterling's ASC armour next?  Pwetty pwetty pweeeeave?

I like it more than previous. But i still want bigger foots for female characters

That's it!  One of the things that's bothered me most about these "modern" designs is how all the figures are wearing high heels and stilettos.  Dumb, dumb design decision.  Gimme the bigger feet of the OG every day.

q2: If there's enough demand for the female armor, I'd definitely make it.

Would that go on the same base body figure?  Or are the proportions just not proportionate enough?

Hobby Japan Vintage Vol. 8 features some old school Mospeada kits.

This settles it: there can be no comparison between the OG designs and the new ones.  OG all the way!

What I see when I look at these designs. 

 

Ahem!  Ahem good sir, I say ahem!

The correct term is "Boomer", not android.

Hennngh 🤔

They're just too busy, with too much going on.  I vastly prefer the original's simplistic and blocky design.

Just got my Super VF-1S.  All the paint and decals look decent, although I haven't had time to go over the figure in detail.  I'm struggling getting the nosecone snapped into the pelvis rods, though.  I just don't want to gorilla my way into breakage after just one day

That's better.  I mean, it's got some more life to it... but why'd they have to sully my beloved Ode to Joy with this?  That song is NOT meant for a hyperviolent, hypersexualized cyberpunk dystopia future.

Just the opposite, in fact.

Honestly, except these machine guns and riding suit, i don't like this design

Agreed.  It's too busy with too many things all going on at once.

Hovertank = me excited!

For the price you're charging, is it just for the 3D files or will you print and ship completed kits out?

Yeah, but seeing the complexity some other 3P figures get to achieve that slavish accuracy, I'd like to see some here.  I want there to be a hidden face swap gimmick and not just "twist the head around and ignore the backside".  Stuff like that.

But I really quite doubt it. 

So I went ahead and preordered X-Transbot's James//Bond figure.

I so badly want it to be a good MP-type Punch/Counterpunch, but at that pricepoint I'm sure I'm going to be disappointed by it merely being a "flip around, adjust the arms, try not to look at the face on the back" figure.

I'm still cautiously optimistic about this.

Regardless, "Robotech" and "Masterpiece" don't belong in the same sentence. 😒

Oh hush, you

I'm all for redesign, but part of the Ride-Armors' appeal to me are the simpler lines and blocky 80's mech aesthetic.

 

This is a very good point.  It's almost like this new redesign is trying too hard.  But I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

Just broke down and ordered a Super VF-1S Roy Fokker.  My first Robotech toy since the Toynami Cyclones.

I'm still tempted by that pretty Dana Sterling armour statue.  Has it been released yet or still on pre-order?

Wow, that's just... wow, I mean.  It's got some... colour, I guess?  I guess that's going for it?

Holy crap did that NOT sound or look anything like CP2077, or even anything remotely like the gameworld of the tabletop game

I noticed someone mentioned the Z series battlpods from the books and theres this from the Robotech: Expeditionary Force Marines Sourcebook One.  I don't mind the hands but I wouldn't mind cannons at the ends of the arms.  Also Walton borrowed the shoulders from the VFA-6.  Kinda wish those shoulders would contain the micro missile launcers from the Alpha. >.>

All of the REF- *ahem*  UEEF Marine Destroids had Alpha-like stylings.  In-universe is because they were made by the same company and thus wanted parts commonality and consistent branding, but... yeah, the redesigns didn't turn my crank at all.

@CoryHolmes I've just seen an updated pdf of the Homefront RPG. There are nice pics of all 3 modes of the Spartas/Hovertank therein which I am sure that, as a Hovertank fan, you will appreciate.

How about the Logan?  I love that maligned mini-mecha more than is probably healthy

Gawdammit, Cyberpunk was supposed to be a warning and not a how-to guide!

Hmm, demon cue ball or stress-relieving wari-ball? 

Love what you're doing with it.  I'm still not brave enough to try mine yet

I still like my fan-theories more than yours! 😜

 I don't like how there's 200 different cyclones though that really all serve the same purpose.

My favourite Cyclone-variants will always be from the Third Invid War fan supplement.  They took the idea of the Cyclone and stretched it into the next iteration.  A survival-focused Cyclone that's cheap and easy to manufacture as well as field-repair.  A heavy-duty version for maintenance workers with heavy lifting.  A dozen various forearm weapon modules, taking advantage of the flexible mounting options.

So much thought went into them.  I ❤️ them so much.

Gura I just really like the idea and the flavor text of the one hive of them in the grand cannon who could only see Lisa's face so they modeled their whole upper cast after them just.. I dunno it hits a nice spot in my brain.

+1

The Gura Invid felt like they were written by a fan, someone with enough connection to the series to come up with a new tie-in.  I love the idea that there's a trove of intact RDF Mecha down there, just waiting for someone to pillage it.
