Big s Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Is the dark weathered looking Kamjin just a prototype or an alternate version that’s going to be available for purchase? Not a fan of metallics in the armor, but at least it’s the least offensive one color wise, but if that flat green weathered version is available, I’d definitely purchase that one Quote

Why two different Kamjin figures. Different sculpts too. Quote

jvmacross Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Looks like KC may release 6" versions of their Zentran characters.....they took pretty good.... At this point, I'd be happy just to get my smaller Zentran figs.... Quote

Oh, so that’s actually gonna be a different larger figure? I like little figures, but the larger one looks better, but that might just be the paint job. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I guess saying the delay is due to "wanting to deliver something better" than originally offered sounds way better than saying.... Quote
Corrinald Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Well what's another year. My initial Heavy Armor order was only 4.5 years ago Quote

MKT Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I think, when KC did a renewed push last year on the GBP that included free base valk (the first ‘upgrade’ he’s referring to), response must have been quite tepid. If I’m reading correctly, it now sounds like there will be a v3 VF-1 with more metal. Hopefully it finally solves all the shortcomings of the current mold. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 (edited) 4.5" scale figures. 6" scale figures. Edited July 31 by sh9000 Quote
Big s Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Did they put the elbow pads in the sides for the heavy armor also? Someone needs to teach this company how elbow pads work Quote
jvmacross Posted July 31 Posted July 31 The flat paints figs look much better than the chrome paint figs... Hopefully US customers get some sort of acknowledgement from KC regarding the shipping "situation"....right now they seem to just be pretending like it is not a problem if they simply make no mention of it....

jvmacross Posted July 31 Posted July 31 IMO....the Breetai face sculpt is the weakest, followed closely by Rico.... Quote

MKT Posted September 22 Posted September 22 On 5/9/2025 at 12:15 PM, MKT said: Just as I'm warming up more to Max's figure, disaster struck. I was exploring putting him on a sitting pose, so was slowly lifting his left leg up and when I got to around the 50-60 degree range, the thigh separated from the crotch. There was no audible sound or any distinct feel of something snapping, it just suddenly felt loose. One of my biggest reservations on soft good figures, is that it is hard to gauge the range of motion limits since the joints are hidden beneath the fabric. Hence, I was already exercising much more caution than usual when handling Max. I have no idea if the joint itself is broken, or the thigh has a natural separation point via a peg & slot system like some other action figures. It does seem to have pull-down thighs like most other modern figures usually to enable a higher degree of thigh swing. Although the thigh has separated, I am unable to pull the whole limb out from the pant leg to inspect it, because it appears the pant leg has been glued somewhere along the lower leg. So when I pick up the figure now, the entire left leg is like wet noodle just dangling by the pants. The outer box has text saying something along the lines of 'refer to instructions before use', but there is zero literature inside (anyone else can confirm this?). I obtained this from my local toy store, but I contacted KC directly to see what can be done now. Awaiting their response... Just a quick update - the figure is fine now. KC did confirm the pants can't be taken off without cutting or removing the stitches, but good news is after investigating the issue, it turns out that it's just the thigh socket having slipped out of the ball, & just needed to be popped back in with very firm pressure.

I updated/confirmed my address info as they requested...maybe (hopefully?) they will include the "Adam" figs with this phase of the Zentran figs for all the early adopters that did not "cut in line" via BBTS....lol...

What Bandai versions are you referring for the Zentradi soldiers? Has anyone ordered the new soldiers, and how do you find them? Edited October 21 by Arthurius Quote

jvmacross Posted Monday at 01:33 PM Posted Monday at 01:33 PM Latest kickstarter message.... Dear Hong Kong backers, Thank you so much for your support and patience! Some of the figures have now been produced. However, as we made further improvements to ensure the best possible quality, we are only now ready to notify you for pickup. Please send us your valid contact phone number using the same email address registered on Kickstarter, or simply send it to us via message. We will use this number to confirm the pickup details with you. Thank you again for your kind support and understanding! Maybe non-HK backers weren't supposed to get this? Not holding my breath for any update for US backers.... Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted Monday at 04:03 PM Posted Monday at 04:03 PM (edited) I don't even want mine anymore, especially with fees and tariffs imposed. Edited Monday at 04:04 PM by blackconvoy_D01 Quote

jenius Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM It would be pretty wild if they couldn't pass on costs that didn't exist previously. My impression from Kickstarter is that the protections lie almost entirely with the company, not the backers. Quote

(Genuinely asking) please help me understand how'd that worked out with the Arcadia Macross I pre-ordered last year from HLJ, that now has 4X shipping fees and cost reflecting this year? Quote
