vanpang Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Fellow valk pilots, I have been buying the Lord of the Rings busts from weta sideshow. I think it would be a great idea if Yamato or Bandai could follow their example and produce limited edition polystone busts of Hikaru, Roy, Breetai or even statues of the mecha (in combat pose of course). I seen the the busts of Rick and Roy from HG, they would have look great if not for the name of RT appearing on the statues themselves !!!

Eternal_D Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I've been appreciating more and more of those statues and busts recently. they are very nicely detailed and painted and when you see like 50 of them all lined up, you just have to say wow. but I probably wouldn't like Macross busts/statues unless they too were super finely detailed. if it's a simple look like the ones toynami made, I probably wouldn't even bother.

Nightbat Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Trend of the year RT busts, Transformers Busts, Xena Busts, Buster busts Busty Busts I'd rather have complete figures anyway, Busts have nothing appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Macross/RT busts would or have flopped. I believe twin moons is selling the Rick Hunter bust for 12.00. I think the MSRP was around 30.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Busts suck. Unless it's a Shakespeare that you can flip the head back, push a button to reveal the hidden poles to the Batcave. Now that is useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull 001 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I would love any 1/6 scale bust of the pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightbat Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 its definitely a fanboy product. i don't think too many people would buy them, but heck, people are paying out the butt for friggin bookends. but at least those are full model diorama's they are not "static" unlike busts, plus they display the entire firgure(s) not 1/3rd of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 its definitely a fanboy product. i don't think too many people would buy them, but heck, people are paying out the butt for friggin bookends. Yeah, the fanboys would see a bust of Misa, Millia, or Minmay as the perfect head sculpt to base their blow up dolls on. Funny, I just realized that the three main female characters in Macross all had names that started with MI.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-1Guy Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Funny, I just realized that the three main female characters in Macross all had names that started with MI.. They seem to have a thing for the letter M - Minmay, Milia, Misa, Myung, Mylene and Mao (I think that the name of the M+ character). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I don't understand the trend towards busts. Statues, okay. Statues at least are the full body and some of them are really cool. Why do I want just the head of some character?! I really don't understand the TF busts either. They have the least about of detail possible.

It's so you can tilt Optimus Prime's head back, push a red button, and go into the Batcave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
