samuraid Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Are the 1/60's better proportioned than the 1/48's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 That's an open-ended question that won't get you any real answers. The "better" proportionned toy is mostly in the eye of the beholder/nitpicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 That's an open-ended question that won't get you any real answers. The "better" proportionned toy is mostly in the eye of the beholder/nitpicker. and then there's the matter of: "In what Mode?" due to Anime-Magic it's impossible to get the proportions of a valk right in all 3 modes some have a better Gerwalk than others have a battroid than others have a fighter ...or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 probably best for you to check out the various reviews and compare with the line art. Big G's reviews have plenty of shots at various angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 It's been argued at length previously. The arms of the 1/48 are rather skinny, while the cockpit of the 1/60 is somewhat short and pointy.... both have their flaws, but in different instances, both are very well proportioned. It strikes me that the 1/60s were designed to look best in battroid mode (in my opinion they do) while still carrying off a competent fighter/gerwalk mode.. my only true complaint being the raised back-pack in gerwalk mode) The 1/48's really shine in Fighter and Gerwalk mode. The battroid mode, while still totally owning, is the least-awesome of the three (but still damn good, despite the undersized hands) With this, you dive deep into one of the largest areas of comparison here on Macrossworld, and you'll find staunch advocates of both classes. My preferences aside, I think you'll be happy with either type. Nightbat was correct though. An accurately proportioned version of the VF-1 (capable of transforming in all modes with no part-swapping) cannot exsist. It's pretty obvious that in battroid mode, the arms grow (probably the head too) and the nose and wings shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiriyu Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 All of the previous posts are pretty much correct. Your best bet is to order or handle one of each, and then make your own decision. Strictly going by the say-so of other members is to ask for disappointment - please don't ask me how I know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
