jorawar_b Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 HUH? 316298[/snapback] I saw this magazine in Crystal mall, in Vancouver, British Columbia a while back, and it had these kids with the macross rick humter helmet and outfit, I really didn't think anything of it, until my wife wanted to know if I had any ideas for a costume for my kid for holloween.

Ghadrack Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I don't think anyone on this board bought the Toynami Super Scale Veritech Battloid, I believe they were priced in the $3,000 to $5,000.00 range and were extremely poor sculpts / deformed and a fixed pose. They were mostly aimed at being sold as store displays, so if someone picked one up from an out of business gaming store or something, that wouldn't surprise me, but paying retail would just feel bad. If you do a search you wil probably be able to find that "realistic" nice helmets and chest armor were sold on a very limited run last year in Japan only, they are essentially collector's items only though that really not feasible for a child costume. You would probably be looking at the better part of a grand on the secondary market if you could find them. That isn't to say that you can't do it, but it will probably be a little expensive If you check some of the Cosplay sites you can find pictures of people that have done custom flight suits, maybe that will give you and your wife some inspiration and you could work together to put something together for the little fella. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicsp00n Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I've seen one of the super-scale veritechs in person, at AnimeNation, and it's not so nice. It's one thing to drop a pile of money on a big robot, but for all its size it's actually less detailed than even their MPC toys. I think you could probably make your own for a lot less and have it be better. I usually don't hammer on Toynami like some other folks tend to do, but I don't know what they were thinking with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I don't know about Robotech, but last year or the year before, there was a 1/1 scale Valk pilot helmet that was going for $1000 or something like that...can't seem to find any pictures though. Searched the main site and couln't find it listed under toys or models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helmets belong to Xstoys. Just use the search function. Plus the back pack is also on some of those pics.
