VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) Hi folks, Toynami provided more recent shots of the upcoming Robotech Masterpiece Bookends! I had a chance to review a sample piece while visiting the Toynami offices yesterday. The details are pretty nice. The VF1S seems to be a slightly smaller than the Super Poseables VF-1's but the sculpt is nearly identical. The Battlepod is quite cool with the bullet entrance wound entering the left side and leaving a gaping hole on the right. Since it is made of cold-cast porcelain, it is quite heavy. My rough guess is that it weighs about 3.5-4 pounds easily. Any here's one picture to enjoy! More pictures available here! -Kevin Edited December 24, 2003 by VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Are those actual production photos, or are we still looking at the prototype? I'm really curious if Toynami will be able to manage that nice of a paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious if Toynami will be able to manage that nice of a paint job. I am pretty sure they are sample production shots, not a resin sample. I'll confirm with Toynami today just to be safe. -Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 These do look pretty good but they just cost way to much for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) Man, they even put minced Zentran inside the Regult. Nice pieces, but a little too pricey, especially with Prime and the Q-rau coming out close together.

vf1_soulja Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Thanks for the pics Kevin... I'll pass on getting these at full retail. I'll wait till they're discounted drastically like the MPCs were after their release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, we're talking about 500 pcs... -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Only 500 units? That's also explaining why the price is so high. Kevin, any new news about the Alpha MPC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
