Slave IV Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) I don't come around these parts too often but since the recent purchase thread got neutered in the main section, came by to drop these pics: Now I just need some Hovertanks! This figure is pretty fantastic overall, just like the rest of the KC figures. I saw some hate as I glanced through the thread but to me, the 1/12 figures are the gems of KCs products. Way better than their mechas and the best figures ever made for the characters they've done so far. Not sure if it was mentioned before but most KC figures have an unexpected feature that most companies wouldn't bother with, which is another thing that sets these figures apart. This one's backpack actually opens up and while it doesn't fit much, it's enough to fit an extra faceplate or optional hands. Pretty cool!

I still have mine in the pile of loot at bbts. It’s giving me hope that maybe a couple other characters might get a figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I was messing with the backpack and noticed something kind of give so I pried around and then it opened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeliard Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Pretty good. I guess the stand is universal for all. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Is it shot angles or does it seem they went back to the original "skinny" leg regult and also reduced the size of the small and large missile attachments? The original teased attachments look larger to me....and the small missile pods looks different too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Wonder if they forgot about the grey visor for the GBP? And the legs don't look as "thicc"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Yeah, that's really weird, those lower legs on the two versions do not look anything alike. I'll just call them the "red stripe" versions, and they look much thinner. Markings aside, the darker part near the toe has a completely different width, giving it a much shaper angle, and the portion just above the knee joint is much thinner where it attaches to the hip. Also, the lip around the edge of the toe looks thicker, and some of the panel lines in the lower leg are entirely different, stopping with a panel line cut crosswise over the front of the ankle, rather than ending into the gray portion above the ankle.

I had to look really hard to spot the differences and wondering if its due to the camera, but this encapsulates it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM I see this guy never demonstrated the "DX" hip joint...I have not either ever since the one from my VF-1J V 2.0 broke....for me it may as well not even exist on the KC VF-1...

Forgot to mention that oddly enough some parts of the video when he is transforming the toy are just reversed parts of the original record. Look at 1:28 when he is opening the feet to transform from fighter to gerwalk mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reverse footage totally makes sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
