Update from Kitz Concept....

 

Hi everyone, 
Sorry for the slow replies. Some of the products are experiencing delays, and I will be sending you updated information very soon.

For those who ordered the set of 10 pilots, we will ship them together once all 10 are ready. A full timeline and an introduction to some new product features will be available next week.

I’ve also posted some promotional videos on my Facebook page, so feel free to check them out there.

Thank you so much for your support. I’ll do my best to reply faster, and may get someone to help answer your questions. I’m truly sorry for not responding in a timely manner.

Cyrus

 

This was posted only in English, so perhaps this is more of an update for US customers?

Hopefully we will be receiving the figs from the 1st wave soon...guessing that would also include the "Adam" figs to make whole the Regults that were pre-ordered directly from KC months ago that included the pilots.....I remain cautiously optimistic....although I don’t have much of a choice at this point...:rolleyes:

They look inspired by the Prequel Trilogy.....I will pass on these for sure...

I... have no idea what I'm looking at.

They're making Robotech figures... right?  That's what these are supposed to be?  Or did I miss a memo or something?

I think the guy was just having fun with his toys

So there's going to be some sort of ten pack available? Maybe if I buy the ten pack I can also get the one they owe me.

But not sure if it’s due to regulation or they just can’t grow it, I can’t really remember a single one with facial hair, although it could just be my memory

If you went all-in on the Kickstarter, a ten-pack would contain....5 Gluu-Gers (Rico, Konda, Bron and 2 Generic Types) and 5 Serau-Gers (Khyron, Breetai, Dolza,and 2 Generic types).....but there have already been variants, so who knows what the final count will be....

Zentradi in the original Macross series run the full gamut of Human skin tones and onwards into Amazing Technicolor Population territory with Vrlitwhai being a baby blue behemoth and Quamzin being a sort of light lavender.  

The beard is new, tho.  I don't think we see a Zentradi with facial hair before Macross Digital Mission VF-X in '97.

 

 

Also, is it just me or do these facial sculpts look... familiar?

Like this one is just straight-up Arnold Schwarzenegger c. Terminator.  That's literally the same face he's making on the Terminator poster, just without the sunglasses.

And I wanna say this one looks like a young Laurence Fishburne...

I think he was giving away the Arnold homage with his Terminator repaint custom. 

The facial hair thing is interesting as questions about grooming lead to questions about culture pretty quickly.

It's weird that there's all these faces suddenly showing up being mixed in with the official characters in the soldier range. Just confuses folks especially there's just so many variants now that are still yet unreleased. It would be better to clearly label them as a 'What If' range or something..

Isn't this kind of weird stuff that killed America made Robotech a few years ago?

Curious what you're referring to? The comics? Robotech has been dead for a long time.

Or.. just focus on a product that clearly represents the series it's taken from, maybe?  :p  

Not to be a stick in the mud about having fun, this just feels ill-advised for them to be parading around random variants and possibilities, when many of the people who pre-ordered are still waiting for the original product.

Maybe there's not much they can do while waiting for production, but showing off things that probably won't ever get produced probably isn't doing them any favors.

Ah, but "American-made Robotech" has been conceived and miscarried so often it's hard to keep track.  The Sentinels was stillborn, The Shadow Chronicles died in the crib, Robotech 3000 and Academy were flushed before they could become fetal matter, and whatever Sony claims to have developed isn't even a glint in the milkman's eye. 🙄

Books are the only American-made Robotech media to have survived infancy, and that's where obvious lifts from other sci-fi franchises become apparent.  Indeed, some of the more recent comics have borrowed liberally from unrelated Macross sequels (even tracing artwork outright, if I'm not mistaken), leading to their untimely demise... 

...but I don't think Cyrus customizing his prototypes is going to hurt his business any more than it's already hurting. 😒
