1/60 Arm Slaves from FMP

[CF18]

And... it's out! Detail review from HK:

High-lights:

He think it is a very high quality product, and cannot find any design fault or paint error, and only wish it can be bigger.

Extra parts on arms and upper legs, which you can adjust to increase range of movement.

The shoulders can transform, but an extra pair of lambda driver mode shoulders are included so you don't have to deal with the tiny pieces in the shoulders.

Pilot figure in the cockpit.

Bandai are bring one out, its a bit smaller but i might wait for this one instead, not to mention the price is also less expensive

This toy is super nice... I have a deep appreciation for finely detailed high-quality toys... I just don't know if I loved FMP enough to warrant such a hefty purchase though. If only these guys made a macross fighter...

[Scream Man]

depening on price, Id get one of these. i like that it's 1/60 scale

[wolfx]

I'll only get these on discount. THe price -> size ratio doesn't justify it.

Woohoo, Overdrive has shipped my Arbalest. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

You're being to critical about the size..

Yes it's small, but I think the sculpt, detail, gimmicks and accessories more than make up for it.

And 1/60 scale is perfect if you like and collect Yamato Valkyries.

Here are some more pics to kill mine and everybody else's wait.

Actually i'm critical of the price.

This is about 3/4 the height of a 1/60 VF-1, does not transform, parts have to be swapped, made of PVC/ABS , and ultimately costs more than a yammie.

[Cent]

Parts DONT have to be swapped. The shoulders can transform on their own without swapping. The only thing is the little flaps that come out in lambda mode. That's like asking for the intake covers to be transformable in a VF.

then what's with the extra set of open shoulders?

[Cent]

The shoulders can transform, but an extra pair of lambda driver mode shoulders are included so you don't have to deal with the tiny pieces in the shoulders.

All I can say is - WOW. This thing has articulation on par with Bandai Master Grades. Not to mention the attention to detail.
