Skv0ra Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) http://cgi.ebay.com/2-ROBOTECH-MACROSS-FIR...1QQcmdZViewItem Can someone please give me details on these? Who's the manufacturer, what quality are these, are they worth it at all? Thanks. Also, what about Bandai's Fire valk? http://cgi.ebay.com/MACROSS-7-BANDAI-CUSTO...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited April 18, 2006 by Skv0ra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solscud007 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 the first one you posted are bootlegs. I know there were some that arent so hot. while others arent that bad. the bandai ones are of course better made. but its all plastic all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chowser Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 ok, stupid internet, pic showed up, that's the bandai reissue. i didn't care much for the bandai 1/65s, got rid of my vf-11, kept the 19 because i'm trying to collect all the 19s.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The second one is the bandai reissue. First are boots. If you look at the box where the bandai logo should be, and see a character instead, then that is one way of telling if it is a boot. The reissue is packaged in fighter mode (and I think some of the detail is painted on rather than as stickers) while the first issue was in battroid mode. I own a bandai and they are pretty light weight but good quality. The joints are stiff, it has a nice glossy shiny look to it, and is very playable and fun to transform and handle. Posability in the hips is not too good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnurmin Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) For sure, if you drop the Bandai's VF-19 to the floor, it will survive the crash Edited April 19, 2006 by rnurmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 If anyone has a bandai blazer they don't want lmk. Haven't seen these on ebay. Those bootleg vf17 must be really rare too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 How do these compare size-wise to Yamato's YF-19? I know they are supposed to be in different scales, but is this accurately reflected in the difference in size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 they're bigger. About the same height as the 1/55's. Not the best toys in the world but still worth a look-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostryder Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) Just a warning, the bootleg blazer is the same mold as the fire, so the wings are incorrect. Not a huge deal except that the wing stickers that come with the bootleg blazer ARE shaped for a bandai blazer, so they won't quite fit. These toys are durable and look better in battroid mode than the Yamato YF/VF-19 IMO, but that's where their coolness ends. A good toy for customizing Edited April 19, 2006 by ghostryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
