EXO Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I locked it and then unlocked it... maybe it should get its own thread since its not really a valk peripheral... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yes. I ordered one... I can't wait to photograph it with my Supah Happy Party sets! I guess I can photograph them next to Millia after I paint them for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Now that I'd buy, rather than the Yamato PVC Breetai. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Save Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was the second person in line and got one for myself. I would have got more but it was 1 of each item per-person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I had not seen this pic until today. VERY cool. 1/60 pods in our lifetime? Maybe T-Rex will do them all by themselves. WF 2011? --- I've been trying to search only T-Rex Toys on Yahoo Japan with no luck. Can someone provide the text that will weed out everything else in the search?

BlueMax Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hm.... extremely cramped working conditions for the Zents. Definitely can't be having a spare tyre if they were to get into their tiny work space through the back hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Don't feel too bad guys, only 20 made of each set/type, Yamato will come through for us one day. Edited February 12, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The text on those auctions say the soldiers are resin kits and need assembled. That surprised me a bit -I thought they were assembled toys - so they are painted but not assembled? Glue or snap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 nope... they are unpainted and casted color, representative of the correct base color... Assembly is just the ball joints and maybe hinges at the waist for the waist armor. I'm not sure if the ball joints come with them but they are a three part assembly on a sprue. The ball joints then pop into the body much like a revoltech toy. The ball joints are also paintable. I'll let you know more when I get mine.

DarrinG Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I think I made a blunder earlier by asking about the purple recon version. I realize now they have different elbows and detail. But I did see the Mars episode again and the guy planting the mines (grell or whoever) has the purple on - is that because he's in a scout pod? ANYHOOO - anyone got theirs assembled yet? I want one if anyone cares . . . (crickets chirping) Edited February 19, 2010 by DarrinG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know more when I get mine. ball joints are not included, the figure is slightly bigger than CM's and the old school Matchbox... I have no idea what these kits were casted from, doesn't look like resin to me. It's more like a mix of plastic with something else, very light weight.

Kicker773 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So does that mean that you'd have to get the joints somewhere?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So does that mean that you'd have to get the joints somewhere?? Oh yeah, there are severals types of ball joints needed and you can obtain it from hobby shops. The diameters of balls joints and part number are listed on AI.

DarrinG Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So the face shield eye covers are not hollowed out for you? Matchbox even did that! Don't get me wrong - I want one, put me down for any re-casts - but the more I learn the more I'm very glad I didn't shell out big bucks . . .

Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, EXO, Vi-RS and Save could get some!!! Don't know if they got both types but 3 out of 20 is a good percent for Macrossworld I'll bombard them asking for pics of the parts to sculpt my version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm sure there will be more released next WF. Ignacio, you can pretty much tell how each part is made from the pics Vi-RS posted. I'm curious as to how those built in joints will hold up in the long run. I doubt that it's actual plastic because a run of 20 using production molds would be insane. Anyway, can't wait to get mine... I ordered the ball joints to come with mine so I can post pics of the assembled products and hopefully painted up soon after.

Yeah, Vi-RS pics are greatly appreciated!!! I also saved every pic from T-Rex's webpage and the CG renders to get an idea of the articulation. I also have John's 1/72 resin kit, so I'll make my own 1/60 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Only 20 of each were made and sold at WF, the day before these get sold. I could use that box by myself. Well... realistically, I'd probably one want 2 or 3 of each color... Guess additionals if I actually wanted to put pilots in my 1/60 Regults.

chowyunskinny Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) So does anyone have links or suggestions on where to get the joints for these? Vi-RS? Exo? I'd like to know what you guys ordered as well. I'm wondering if Revoltech Joints would be a suitable size. Thanks in Advance.

EXO Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 They're using hobby base joints. You can use revoltech joints also. They both use 3mm stems but revoltechs run tighter. Once you use those the hobby base ones will be too loose to switch to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
