Kicker773 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I know this isn't Macross related, but thought i'd give it a shot since majority of the members here know someone or is a model builder. I'm looking for both Asuka and Rei with their bikes. Preferrably painted if possible (variations welcome as long as the quality of work is there) but I guess unpainted could be an option and try to find someone who can build them on the forum. Looking to get the pair for my b day this month. So please if anyone is willing to sell their set or direct me to someone who is I'd much appreciate it. Heres a pic for referrence: (courtesy of resinmonkey from Hobbyfanatics.com) If the owner minds me posting the pic i'd gladly take it down.

Dante74 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Those are a set? Looks to me like the girls are a different scale than the bikes. Very sexy though, I like the curves. And the chicks don't look half bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 No they are actually sold separately, but each fig comes with their respective bikes. Figured i'd state it such since i do wanth both of them Now someone make my b-day wish come true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Be warn, I have seen the chinese made pre-painted fake ones on the market, they use Auska's bike mould and put Rei on it. I am hoping some toy company would mass produce them in PVC, the original kits is so expensive and I can't paint..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 The only originals of these kits were garage resin kits, limited and sold at Wonder Festival Japan last summer. All the pre painted ones are bootlegs (some are hard to tell as the box, packing and fig looks very good!). I have seen Asuka around for a while now in shops, Rei only appeard recently. I can pick them up for you if you are interested and if they are still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 pm'ed you... so what are the differences between the two? I know there are some recasts that are good enough compared to the original (well depending on the builder), but then again I've never seen them in person.

Mowe Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I dig up this gem painted by a Japanese pro. Enjoy and drool, my Eva comrades From memory, it went for about 1,500 USD.

Kicker773 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) thanks to Valk009 i was able to get these babies for my b-day: I'm really really glad that this community is willing to help each other out even though we all live in far distant places. Thanks so much Andy!!! Mods if the pics are too graphic please lmk if i need to take them down. The quality is not bad at all even though they aren't originals and they look great. Now all i need to do is find more decals to put on the bikes.. any suggestions anyone? Edited March 30, 2007 by Kicker773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I like hot chicks on hot bikes. If any complains we'll edit the image. Me, I'd like to get these too but no way in hell am I paying the prices I see for the completed resin sets. I'm guessing these are the HK completed ones? Mind if I ask you how much they're going for?

BoBe-Patt Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 how come the rei is in the same pose? I thought it was going to the same pose as the first pix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 the first pic with rei on a different bike is the original kit (which is like 800 unbuilt - 1500 built). These are the Hk version which i believe is great nonetheless. Here is a pic of Kenshin checkn out the goodies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangard Ace Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 hehehe glad i brought it up and everyone is enjoying them =) hey DA where did you get priss on motoslave? lol. I said "soon"....as in "Yamato! Hurry up and release the BGC Motoslave already! I know you've been working on it since last July!" Couldn't bring myself to buy the HK Rei version since it's only an Asuka body with a Rei head recolor. However if it was the Rei on bike in your top post I would've bought it too. That and I like Asuka better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) Rei is so pretty.... [attachmentid=41773] Source: plant_jzero from Yahoo JP Ok...time out from Rei's drooling....By the way, do you guys mean this Mahoro from Kotobukya? I love it, the diecast bike has such a solid feel and Mahoro is very nicely sculpted. I wish Kotobukya will mass produce the Auska and Rei bike in similar fashion. [attachmentid=41772] And who is tifa, anyone has pics of her and her bike? hehehe glad i brought it up and everyone is enjoying them =) hey DA where did you get priss on motoslave? i'm waiting for tifa to come in the mail so she can hop on cloud n fenrir.

Nostalgia Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I considered getting the Vispo Rei & Asuka but the anorexic sculpt (no offense) didn't work for me. I got the Volks Rei in bio armor instead. Edited April 5, 2007 by Nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah...that is a nice one too, I wish I am in HK to get my hands on some these cheaper pre-paint... By the way, that anorexic Rei is about as fat as Rei comes, blame Sadamoto San...heh...heh... I considered getting the Vispo Rei & Asuka but the anorexic sculpt (no offense) didn't work for me.

Nostalgia Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It's a resin recast. The "boxed version" is made by a HK company that specialises in recast + prepainted garage kits.

jwinges Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Noice! Now that I know the real Rei on bike is out, time to go hunting! So where are you guys finding these bikes? Who's the HK dealer that's selling them? What's the price? Damn they are cool. I'm sure my wife wouldn't like them...but I'm sorely tempted.
