mantisfists Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ha!! Not what I meant, but I'd take it. I'd have to figure out a way to make it functional so I could drive it down Hwy 17. That would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielV Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm not a fan of Dana or any of the Southern Cross stuff. But that does look pretty sweet. Just giving the armor that chrome finish adds exponentially, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 So it looks like it's not an 'action figure' anymore from the way they reported this initially. It's now a resin polystone statue that is limited to 500 pieces. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/502064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I thought they were always doing a statue and kitzconcept was doing the action figure. Having handled the Kid's Logic Hikaru action figure... I think it's smart if then to go with a statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when they announced this back in October, I thought it falls in their 1/6 action figure category like Hikaru's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podtastic Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Dana Pre-order placed. Price wasnt as steep as expected, under 4,500. Of course shipping and customs will add a few more thousands. Had to leave a note as always about avoiding the post office and providing tracking. You'd be amazed how many think they can just ship to Africa without any tracking, and then are actually suprised when the item is never received.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Has there been any word on the smaller 1/12 cockpit releases? Been a little while since they asked for payment, I figured it would have released by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a little while since they asked for payment, I figured it would have released by now. As per their website 1/12 VF-1J cockpit estimate release was Q1 2021. Roy's VF-1S on the other hand is Q2. I don't think they post any updates on their social media accounts as well. Their posts I believe is more of what's coming next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been nice if the chest armor kinds of popping out from the upper chest first and not have it sideways like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 The chest armor still feels weird. If it's going to rotate like that after it detaches, it's already away from the Battroid... I mean, Battloid. It's the only part of the armor in that statue design that doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I don't buy statues but I think this is one of only a couple Macross mecha statues I think looks cool... maybe the SDF-1 beast they made as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there was something bugging me about it. Yes, the chest piece either needs to be flipped around 180degrees, or moved the right side of the Battroids chest, even then, there is still too much contact, but it could be deemed acceptable due to the statue format.

jenius Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 C'mon guys, we're talking about explosive bolts in space plus the limitations of the medium. Imagine everything is spinning and maybe colliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Meh, I'm not sold on it, but its not bad looking either. I am still waiting on the 1/12 fokker cockpit to be released. I wouldn't pre-order anything else until they play catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just now, Big s said: So it exploded at him? That’s a weird design Explosive bolts are actually very common in real spacecraft(probably real fighter jets too, though I'm far less familiar). When you need something to separate decisively and immediately, a strong kick is incredibly useful. Especially in space, where gravity isn't going to help out. Without explosives, the separated part drifts along forever at basically the same speed and direction it was moving before separation. Which is to say, it doesn't separate until the thing detached maneuvers away. This is bad if, for instance, you're ejecting heavily-damaged armor that is impeding your fighting robot's operation in active combat.

Big s Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I meant that the explosive bolts blasted the armor towards him instead of away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Oh. It is a really weird position, and I'm not rightly sure how it gets there. I don't really see any way to go from "mounted parallel to the chest" to "perpindicular to the chest and touching right in the center".
