  1. Past hour
  2. So what you're saying is we need to order a new bottle of joint glue cuz Metal and metal ball joints have worked SOOO well for the last 14 years of macross toys since the Alto YF-29 😅
  3. Hopefully the male Silver Surfer is not in this and he's utilized in his own or another movie. Galactus might be promising but if they use him for comic relief I think I'm out.
  4. It does look like they skipped the origami involved in the YF-19's legs, and went back to a simple cutout for the arms. Can't say I'm upset about that though. As impressive as the mechanism was, it was probably the absolute peak of excessive complexity in any Bandai product I've seen, and actually annoyed me because it prevented extending the feet in fighter mode.
  5. Today
  6. I see some elements in look and approach sort of carried over from Bandai's YF-19, like the shoulder, upper arm, the way the nose cone is housed or how they avoid the ugly cutout around the upper leg/inner thigh. And just like the YF-19, deep elbow bend will be possible without implementing Yamato's/Arcadia's weak solution of shifting the bicep out of the way.
  7. Hey, if that’s what official sources list, it makes sense to me that licensed products would stick to it. I’m very curious where that figure came from though, and if it *is* official. I’d definitely love to learn more. There’s this Studio Nue lineart where it seems to be closer to 19 meters. (see the right side, rough sizes there). the ARII box lists it at 18.1 meters, which is closer to 19. So I’m very curious where that 16 meter figure comes from. Or that 18 meter figure Setting aside pure numbers, though, the glaug and regult at least seem fairly accurate *proportionally* to each other. Screen taken from a video posted earlier in the thread. with perhaps a bit of wiggle room for how bent any legs are, the position of weaponry, etc. chalk it up as another mystery about Macross scale, I guess?
  8. Song by Junna. https://youtu.be/T4nBc4zfvRc?si=_Vlxa7iNUi8Rq2x2
  9. Probably a lot of metal in the feet.
  10. ahhhh.... a Macross Meme thread eh... Here's some poking at the VF-17 KO fun...
  11. Toy looks great but I'm concerned about the need for braces.
  12. Really want to see a top view to see where the canards fall on this one, but looks good in the angle shown at least. Also kind of surprised to see them remove the intake warnings, but I admit I prefer this scheme without them The red they had before just clashed anyway. Now to see if they paint the gear..
  13. Additional support braces, huh?
  14. Seems to be about the height of the regult kit from hasegawa.
  15. Absurdly small. Hasegawa's "1:72" Glaug is barely any bigger than Bandai's Hi-Metal R toy... and considerably smaller than the vintage 1:72 kit. There's nothing right about that consistently-listed 16.5 meter height. 🤣 Maybe Hasegawa based their scaling and proportions on this animation reference. 🙄
