CF18 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 But I dont get why people think this is a good price. I dont know the scale but comparing it to the megahouse ride armor sets this seems to be about the same amount of detail but more expensive. I like the sculpt and gimmick but I cant afford this hobby. I guess I should be careful what I ask for! Yeah it is kind of pricey. The Saint Cloth Myth figures, probably came from the same team in Bandai, are in general cheaper and come with die-cast metal armours. If you include the Appendix accessary pack then they are about the same price. I guess most here have gotten used to high price with anything Macross. I want it. I don't care how gay my friends will call me for having a pretty boy figure. Easily fixed by telling them the figure is a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy00z Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I want a VF-25 that this figure can sit in. Lol. It'll be huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Awesome. Not too pricey and the gimmicks look cool, throw in some die cast and its a purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miriya Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Does anyone know the height, scale or size of this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifam7 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know the height, scale or size of this thing? The photo that CF18 posted shows a poster board in the background with the words "S.H. Figuarts". Which would mean a figure around 15cm in height.

alfye Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 18cm (with helmet & armor on) only ABS plastic, no die-cast... http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2791/hjmf.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 so about 6 or 7 inches tall. . . That is a nice size actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would guess that's 1/10 scale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I want it. I don't care how gay my friends will call me for having a pretty boy figure. Believe me Alto is nothing compare to another charatcer from a well know franchise, also played by Michael Blanc's Seiyuu who has figure end of this year in a sexy dress.

505thAirborne Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If he is a 1/10 scale, I wonder if Alto will fit on my Beagle Ride Armor bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If he is a 1/10 scale, I wonder if Alto will fit on my Beagle Ride Armor bike? that would be really cool. now if only beagle could hurry up with yellow's RA (i think the purple will match with alto's suit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 that would be really cool. now if only beagle could hurry up with yellow's RA (i think the purple will match with alto's suit) That would be sweet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That's pretty cool. I like how you can deploy it into the cockpit mode. I don't normally collect figures, but I might just get this. But probably not until the price was a little cheaper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 nice! 1/10 scale is a good size! And for sure he'll look good with the Beagle Ride Armour, total BONUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesonme78 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 pre-ordered!! i hate myself for buying this... but i like the articulation... ahahha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regult Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Will wait for the actual thing to hit the streets to make a final decision meanwhile, since I've never been too much into figures, let alone Saint Seya (spelling?) stuff, how does the articulation on these toys fare compared to, let's say revoltech? I am sorry if this is a strange question. pictures of articulation (dare I say inner workings?) would also be very very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfye Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) ... SaintSeiya bodies has a lot of articulations, about +30! but armor parts limits a lot of poseability.

regult Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks a bunch alfye for pointing me to the CollectionDX reviews. I should've thought about that before! Seems the EXgears owe a lot of R&D to this figure collection, even the "transformation" into cockpit configuration is similar to the feature of the cloth transforming into small statues! that's so neat!
