optimuspint Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Mine has been shipped... Just waiting now. So stoked to see how big it is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) my order status at NY still says "awaiting customer reply" even though I have replied and paid the additional shipping charges as requested. I also sent them a message but they have not yet replied to that either.. thinking its just b'cos they are busy with excess orders and not that there is any issue of any sort.. im really hoping it gets shipped today, then I should receive it by the end of the week to enjoy over the weekend! fingers crossed!

ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just got mine. I feel like some pics (like the one with the VF-0S) make it look bigger than it really is. Be aware when installing the cannons. They're not all identical. Only 2 of them have the UN Spacy tampo and these should go on their respective sides.

seti88 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Nice lineup! From the top view the long cannons make the monster look larger than perceived it seems.. The regult mid jump pose is awesome! Cmon bandai! scouts and missile variants plz... Edited August 1, 2016 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scaling with your Glaug is really bugging me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yep, it's the grail. Can't wait! Can you extend the knees?The scaling with your Glaug is really bugging me now. He has both of the leg joints at their lowest point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 He has both of the leg joints at their lowest point. Yeah. He's also got the Glaug in the shorter A-stance battle-form instead of neutral stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Yep, it's the grail. Can't wait! He has both of the leg joints at their lowest point. Actually, the legs of the Monster were fully extended. If it was retracted, the "thigh armor plates" would be angled forward. Extending the knees only increases the height by about half an inch.

jenius Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 THere is that funky waist extension also if you want it to look extra tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Somewhere in this thread this pic pops up a couple've times: Screenshot (4).png This one looks considerably higher, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) This one looks considerably higher, but maybe not. Hmm, the manual doesn't mention anything about an additional extension there. Let me check and try. EDIT: Okay it seems I didn't have the legs fully extended. I missed pushing the feet backward. It adds an extra 1 inch more to the height. There are 2 areas where you can extend the legs, the first part is between the hip and knee, and the second is between the knee and foot. Thanks for pointing that out.

ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Comparison with a 1/100 scale Gundam model just for fun. The Sazabi looks like it can kick the Monster's ass around all day. Edited August 1, 2016 by ArchieNov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hey Archie. Which parts are diecast? I haven't really tried checking that thoroughly, but the obvious ones are those two gigantic metal ball joints at the hips and the soles of the feet. The prop up stand used to elevate the Monster's "mouth" is also diecast. That's all I've found so far. If there's more then it's probably internal.

ArchieNov Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Whoa that Sazabi looks badass. You built that yourself? Long live the UC Gundam. Yes, I built it, but it's just a straight build out of the box with panel lining and decals. No painting involved (I got no skills for that). And yes, UC forever! It's the only timeline worth watching Is this a ladder or stairs? Or maybe an escalator? The angle doesn't seem right for either one.

no3Ljm Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) *snip* Is this a ladder or stairs? Or maybe an escalator? The angle doesn't seem right for either one. Based on the schematic art in Macross Mecha Manual, it looks like a ladder. Edited August 1, 2016 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
