xrentonx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Actually, I think with the special edition version you could choose between the Devil Sheryl or that Ranka, or the the white eyes. SP version has devil Sheryl tampoed for sure but they did include all of the stickers from the regular release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger69 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I found this scan of the sticker sheet. It looks like it might be from the regular version (I have one, but it's packed away so I can't check at the moment) vb6_stickers.jpg (source: http://eyeforthings.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/bandais-dx-chogokin-robot-damashii-vb-6-konig-monster/ ) The person said they removed the eyes already. The third scan from the directions from the link above also show multiple nose art options. Normal version first release's sticker sheet is what you are seeing here.

ULessa Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Come to think of it, there isn't any version of the Monster with this decal is there? That said, I much preferred the Devil Sheryl design. Also, while I'm not much of a Ranka fan, could someone post that pic with the crude drawing of a "Koenig Ranka" on a warhead ? Jeeeeezus. While I was joking about a to scale Monster I didn't realize how big it was compared to the fighters. Damn. Kinda want one now but dat retail price.

KH355hamdi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It will be alright. Just make it non-transformable 1/60 GERWALK. If Hot toys collector can shell out $$$ for the big 1989 Batmobile and display them, this scale should be alright for Macross hardcores.

KH355hamdi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Yamato had a prototipe before they went down. It would be too big and just too expensive. I want. That would be an awesome center piece in the living room. Edited June 27, 2014 by KH355hamdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH355hamdi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Just to clarify, there really is no "plain nose" version for the Bandai VB-6. The one without character art comes with the mouth printed on. The Yamato version is completely plain though. Straight out of the box. The eyes, Ranka and Sheryl are stickered on. Next to 1/100 transformable VF-25G. It look off-scale here. Next to 1/60 and 1/100 VF-25F Edited June 27, 2014 by KH355hamdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've not seen Frontier, so I could be completely wrong - but I thought the "real" VB-6 didn't have landing gear either? That Shuttle Mode was just for spaceflight and re-entry, and it spent any time on the ground in Destroid or Battroid modes? Sorry I can't link images at the moment but if you do a google image search for "Koenig Monster landing gear" it should be the first image that pops up from robotjapan.com. It was also posted in the old VF-6 Koenig Monster thread here on MW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 On the other hand, the size disparity lends itself to great forced-perspective pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I remember it being mentioned in another forum the Konig is about 1/125 scale. It's whatever scale the Robot spirits/Damashii <Side VF> series toys are. Did they ever mention the scale of those toys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Here's the quote from my review, when I review this new version I'll have lots of measurements and math to satisfy future curiosity. The cross-badging of the toy as both DX and Robot Spirits indicates it does have metal (a pretty healthy amount used entirely for stronger internals) and it’s largely in scale with the Robot Spirits line. That’s a little confusing since the Robot Spirits line is pretty much considered non-scale. Essentially this toy is roughly 1/110 scale which is still very large.

Chronocidal Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Oh, by "plain nose" I mean the one with the sharkmouth and eyes. Love those vintage style aircraft markings, it's the character art I'd rather not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claude grant Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Would pick up this new one only if they do the gatling gun/rotary cannon version seen in the trailer for the 2nd movie. Until then, the 1st one will suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 been wanting this and not. can't decide. after getting out of 1/48 scale and keeping just one and getting the macross quarter, i can't decide if I want a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I want this bad boy towering over my other collectables. If they don't announce a release within a year, then I'm getting a Full Metal Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 hate to burst it to ya, but the Bandai Koenig Monster isn't that big. In fact, One might say it's at best, as big as a DX Chogokin (I'd say it's smaller than the YF-29) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I still want a proper 1/60 DX monster. I'd pay a decent sum of cash to have the entier Frontier crew, which isn't complete without Canaria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'll settle for the same size monster with thr addition of landing gear and clear windshield parts Bandai will be too lazy to add anything and also it'll cost a pretty penny to remold. Probably be a straight repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 How much do these weigh, and what does the stand look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yamato had a prototipe before they went down. It would be too big and just too expensive. If Yamato had this prototype then it might still be sitting around at Arcadia somewhere.. Sheesh could you imagine this thing in 1/60 scale sitting around on display! I'd definitely sell my car (or even myself!) to raise the funds to buy it! Seeing this brought a tear to my eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
