Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Wave three The Hikkie VF-1S is now weathered to calm down the anger of those who bought the Comic Con exclusive 1S last year Edit: Oh yeah, there's also a Max man doll in Pilot suit already, but I'll let the man doll fans take care of that one in the appropriate thread Edited July 28, 2007 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I also noticed that it looks like Toynami has replaced the "puffy" skull & crossbones on the heatshield in favor of a tampo print or sticker. The weathering seems kind of...not particularly well done IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 They did that for wave 2 as well didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) The Cannon Fod looks brilliant! Deffinently getting me one of those. Urrk! That 1S head, god it's ugly. I'm gonna dodge that. I already have Focker, so no more extra ugly head 1S for me. TV Valk Max Super looks extra extra nice. These Valks look good all Super'd up. So i gather Fast Pack/Strike sets are separate to purchase? Will the FP's also have the Strike cannon? That would be gay if you had to buy a Super FP and then the separate Strike FP.... >_< Uhh noticed some pics with the different colour sets... Sooo... i guess we get them with the Valks?

mister_e Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 They did that for wave 2 as well didn't they? Yes, the valks in wave 2 all had flat heatshields, but that's because they were all VF-1J's which don't have the skull squadron marking on the heatshield.

Awacs Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Definitely interested in the FAST pack sets. They will go nicely with my Max and Miria -1j's (I originally only bought the Max to evaluate the line, but it looked lonely sitting there on its own so as I'd been paid this week I thought I would pick up the Miria to keep it company). Mind you, I've been interested in these since the were first seen at a show, what, the end of last year? So I'm not holding out much hope of them ever actually emerging.

Hiriyu Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Oh, I think that stand-alone FP sets will eventually become available... When they feel like it... Eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) These 1/100's look awesome in FastPacks... makes up for their drab appearance in fighter mode. I dunno, i might still pick up Max and Millia TV versions and get their Supers... but Fodder or 2 with FP/Strike is a must. I prefer the 1J head over the 1S for sure... 1A head is perfect.

ShadowerV2 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Might get the Strikes when they come out. Big Strike fan. Me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 yea, ive never been into these at all, but the mnm supers and the cf super look great. probably have to pick up 2 of each (depending on the price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protostar8 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 So I'm guessing there weren't any Toynami representatives there that could give out information on release dates for the Fast Packs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) One of the pics shows the array of parts that appears to come with the FAST Packs, and even Miriya's seems to have a strike cannon. Hope they do include it. Hey, even that Roy VF-1S seems to have the flat heat shield. Edited July 29, 2007 by Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Good call, i guess all Fast Packs will have the Strike cannon... that's good! So we'd have - Max's FP pack Millia FP Pack And Standard (for CF, Roy, Hikaru etc) FP Pack for separate sale.

aaajin Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 toynami sure has gone a long road to have finally release the fast packs. Hope they'll turn out OK as they sure look damn beautifool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 If it wasn't for the increadibly ugly head sculpt, I'd pick up one of the Hikaru VF-1S Strike Valks, but that head is a real deal breaker. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If it wasn't for the increadibly ugly head sculpt, I'd pick up one of the Hikaru VF-1S Strike Valks, but that head is a real deal breaker. Says Graham as he whirls hirls his 1/60 Yamato 1S around the room... Just playin' of course. When fugly heads get in the way, it's just more time for Gerwalk or Fighter mode! With the fast pack I'm hoping the weaknesses of the 1/100 fighter mode will be largely concealed... time will tell. I'll be interested to see how well the display stand cup holds up to the extra weight of fast packs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justvinnie Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 But dang if the 1J and 1A head scuplts don't look gorgeous! No offense but I think the 1J head is hideous too. Esp. look at how it just seems to float on Max's. Picture courtesy of jenius's site. vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm not sure it's the head sculpt sucking on the 1J as much as it is the neck is just too long. I think the 1A does the best job of hiding the neck and I think the 1S sculpt is so lame because they tried to elongate it to cover some of that neck up.

mister_e Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I agree with Jenius. The sculpt on the 1J head unit is quite nice actually, it just looks bad because of the stupidly long neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I just pose my 1/100 Hik 1J's head 'chin downwards' and it looks cool enough. Hik's 1J is not so bad as it's white in colour. Max and Millia's stik out something bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha OTS Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'll be interested to see how well the display stand cup holds up to the extra weight of fast packs as well. That's my big concern too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatek Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I got my Hikaru 1J this past weekend for $20. I'm happy with the look, feel and poseability of the toy. I want to panel line it, but gotta get a gundam marker or mechanical pencil first. I PMed takatoys about making stickers for these and he said that it's possible, but he would need to place an order of 100 sheets. So I don't know if there would be enough demand to cover his expenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 They really do look fantastic with the Fast Packs on. I hate the 1S head, so i'm not crying over not having the exclusive Hikaru 1S. Will want the Canon Fodder and TV and Movie FastPack sets for sure though...
