EXO Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I haven't been keeping up on any Macross news, so I had no idea about the FREAKING GLAUG! and I just ordered the Regult. I think Toynami may have redeemed itself. Make the rest of the enemy mecha. I'll buy the Valks to go with them, no matter how crappy they are compared to the Yamato 1/60s. Yamatos are just too expensive for me to buy in bulk and this 1/100 scale gives me the chance to have one of each. I'll always keep my lovely 1/60 v2 Cannon Fodder as my centerpiece, though. My horrible Hobby Master/Century Wings die-cast plane habit needs to be fed, too. It's awful. Get the 1/100 Hi-Metal Bandai VF-1s if the toynami 1/100s are too crappy for you.

AcroRay Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I love the sculpt of my Battle Pod but the glue job is so bad. So far I've broken the leg and now the foot. Yeah - That happens because the parts are painted, then glued. The glue won't bind well on painted surfaces. One of my daughter's little friends who loves my mecha toys was playing with my Missile Regult, and he popped one of the glued knee parts. The look of horror on his face was priceless! I told him not to worry, and had it fixed up in about 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bandai's are too expensive at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Faced Beast Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Has any one heard word about when we can expect the Light Artillery Battle Pod? I haven't been able to find any thing about it online. I would also love to be able to get a Tactical Scout Battle Pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hey could someone post a few pics with these 1/100 Regults next to the Yamato VF-1 1/60 V2 for me. I want to see they look group enough for the fudgit scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see they look group enough for the fudgit scale. A 1/6 is much taller. I haven't taken any shots with it an a 1/60, but I did compare it to a couple of 1/100 items and a 3&3/4" Matchbox Zentraedi figure back in the thread here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32529&view=findpost&p=836485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegablue Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I friend of mine recently returned from Denver, and managed to get himself one of these Regults. I mean no offense to anyone that has one, but when first looking at it I was reminded of those old vinyl toys from the 90's. Just doesn't look like to have any of that crisp hard edge tech development of recent toys from Japan. With that said I would still probably buy one.

It simply is what it is. A cheap shelf warmer. But get a few together, throw some simple weathering/detailing on them and they don't look half bad next to Yammy 1:60 ver 2's.

AcroRay Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just doesn't look like to have any of that crisp hard edge tech development of recent toys from Japan. With that said I would still probably buy one. I think it's supposed to have a distinct 'anime' look to it, rather than more modern-styled renderings that has a lot of mechanical textures added. It has an 80s feel, to me. Very true to the earliest line-art. I'm really pleased with what I see of the Glaug!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Japan Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I brought in an original resin painted sample of Officer's Battle Pod (Glaug), Light artillery Battlepods, and 1/100 scale GBP Armored sets as for our 2011 release preview. Glaug was on display for first time in general public, and I had many good responses. I also had a Toy discussion panel with Save and Egan. It was a great event.

ae_productions Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Invid/Inbits would be a dream come true! I have a small army of the 1/100 battlepods, having them fighting a swarm of Invids would be a childhood dream realized! Keep em' coming, Toynami! Great work! I am STOKED about that Glaug! Just awesome look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKWIND Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Just like I said before if you make it macfans will buy them!!!! I have gotta score more. Standard battlepods and that Glaug will look soooo good in my display case. Gotta get two of those micro-missle pods, and one Glaug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't sweat it I've got all three shows in the original Japanese format on DVD, and toys from each but Southern Cross. Not to mention Gungrave DVD/action figure, Crusher Joe DVD/Minerva And a slew of others, too many to name/wrong thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_productions Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I wonder what the price point will be on that Officer's Battlepod? It's so much larger than the standard battlepod. My guess is 50 - 60. And if it's as good as that resin display piece, it will be worth every dime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
