GRAND CANNON Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Back in August of 2008 at the ROBOT 魂 Premier Event, a sculpt prototype was shown of the VF-25 listed below (click on for pics)... ROBOT 魂 (DAMASHII) – THE ROBOT SPIRITS R-0?? <SIDE VF?> VF-25F Messiah (Alto Saotome Custom) - Macross Frontier - (?/?) The ROBOT 魂 home page has now updated it's Line Up Page with three <SIDE VF>s on the way with two in November: We'll see how they pan out........ Quote
ff95gj Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I have asked previously whether VF100 = ROBOT 魂 ... And it seemed so to everyone back then. So finally, the HCM/ GFF story has come to Macross. Just curious, how do you know it's VF-25 but not VF-1 (or others)? Thanks for the news! Quote
Omegablue Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 They already had pics of Alto's along with the other Gundam Robots last year, when introducing the line. 3 Vfs? Well it's cost effective to use the same mold and run on the Frontier novelty. Alto's, Ozma's and Michael's. Quote
Ghost Train Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I was also under the impression that VF100 ~ the Robot Damashii line.... but I'm glad I was wrong. I've been debating whether or not to get the Alto VF100 despite the lukewarm reviews, perhaps I will wait now to see what this stuff is about. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Just curious, how do you know it's VF-25 but not VF-1 (or others)? Thanks for the news! It announced when the RD line was introduced last year. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) My guess is that this line will be Valk-only to 'compete' with the GN-Dou figures. I think Graham mentioned something about this, too, but can't find what he said......... And here's the pic I had linked above in case people missed it. VERY rough sculpt back in Aug 2008, so no idea what it may look like now...... Edited June 30, 2009 by GRAND CANNON Quote
m0n5t3r Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 i have high hopes for these RD Side-VFs since i currently have 8 RDs and i've seen the improvements they've done since the first few releases. the articulation has been greatly improved (some have mentioned it to be MG-ish now), tight joints all around, and the seams don't open up while posing unlike the GN-Us... they now provide extra solid (i'm guessing ABS) fins/antennae if you don't like the bendy PVC type they put on the figures. but i'm still hoping against hope that these could be transformable like the Nirvash Type Zero w/ some parts-swapping involved... but i figure that would be a long shot since they already have the VF-100 line. Quote
Graham Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I'm guessing non-transforming battroid mode only. My guess for first releases are VF-25, VF-27 & VF-1. Quote
regult Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I was just wondering why there was no more follow up on this. "Non-transforming" is ideal for the Q-rea! but I guess it's going to be VF-25F, S, G...not so fast on the VF-27. Please no more VF-1s!!! off topic: saw in a shop in Hong Kong the new GN-U VF-1 Max and Hikaru versions. they come in very cheap looking packaging (not sure what their technical name is: you get the vacuum-formed tray, glued to a carboard with a hole to hang in the shop, no more actual "box"). The figure itself is unremarkable, sculpt does not look as fantastic as the promotional pictures, the 1/60 looks better in battroid. Paint and plastic also looks cheap compared to earlier GN-U toys. The good thing: they come with a transparent stand by default, but comes at a hefty price. Quote
Californium Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'm guessing non-transforming battroid mode only. My guess for first releases are VF-25, VF-27 & VF-1. Rumor says the first Robot Damashii VF-1 will be the VF-1J wearing GBP. Quote
Omegablue Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Rumor says the first Robot Damashii VF-1 will be the VF-1J wearing GBP. Link please? Quote

regult Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Finally we get a Queadlunn toy, and its a Q-rea! The Supermessiah is also a nice choice since there are no toys of it yet. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Finally a Q-rea figure. Nice Super Robot Wars RRD (Revoltech Robot Damashii) Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 No word on the Q-Rea being Klan's or the 'standard' version, but I'm sure we'll see both...... Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Even Ngeekhiong confimed it but until now the Q-Rea type is unknown, * Robot Damashii [side VF] Queadluun-Rea - November release, 3,200 Yen. * Robot Damashii [side VF] VF-25F Super Messiah Valkyrie Alto's Unit - November release, 2,800 Yen. Edited July 4, 2009 by Black Valkyrie Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 This time for sure I'll get the VF-25G, since I don't have the Plamo, DX nor the VF-100. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Update from Tamashii : http://tamashii.jp/special/robot_damashii/....php?category=7 The pic is still in shadow but I think the Q-Rea is Klan ver. Quote
Omegablue Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 It makes marketing sense to have the Q-Rea as Klan's, as Bandai is making the Frontier line. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I agree. The customs almost always get their release before the grunt, mass production types. Especially from Bandai.... **EDIT** Got some pics: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/...9531&s=toys Edited July 6, 2009 by GRAND CANNON Quote

Ivan Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 From Amazon jp, http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B002G01ENO/ http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B002G01EOI/ Ahh !!! you've beaten. The VF-25 looks too much like the 1:100 version. Perhaps they are derived from the same mold? Quote
SuperHobo Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 At least this time around the VF-25's hips are in the correct position! Quote
Omegablue Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I'm keen on the Q-Rea. But with the VF's from this line I'll hold out for Ozma or a VF-0... Quote
lechuck Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 So which scale are they in? Might consider q-rea Non-Scale. That's basically the trade-off with the Robot Tamashii line. Expect VF-25/Q-Rea and probably any future Macross mecha in this line to be no taller than 12-13 cm. Quote
Omegablue Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Non-Scale. That's basically the trade-off with the Robot Tamashii line. Expect VF-25/Q-Rea and probably any future Macross mecha in this line to be no taller than 12-13 cm. So they'll fit in with the Revoltechs... fine with me. Quote
bluemax151 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Non-Scale. That's basically the trade-off with the Robot Tamashii line. Expect VF-25/Q-Rea and probably any future Macross mecha in this line to be no taller than 12-13 cm. I thought they were all supposed to be in scale now? At least within the same series line. That was one of the areas of improvement they listed over the old MSIA/EMSIA/Offshoot series. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 7, 2009 Author Posted July 7, 2009 I thought they were all supposed to be in scale now? At least within the same series line. That was one of the areas of improvement they listed over the old MSIA/EMSIA/Offshoot series. Yes, like you said, within the same series. The SIDE VFs should be in scale with one another, but may not be in scale with the Gundam, Geass or Eureka stuff. Hopefully we will see pics of the Q-Rea and Super Messiah side-by-side in the near future..... Quote
regult Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 another toy I want to have...I am now regretting having purchased some stuff that wasn't great after all, like the VF-100s partsforming flimsy stuff. I so want the Q-rea!!!!!!!! or the non-transforming VF-25 Supermessiah. Quote
Graham Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Will probably pass on the VF-25F Super. Too many VF-25 toys already. The Q-Rea is a must buy. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 Maybe someone can do a lot better that Google, but some translated points to note are: Super Alto - Removeable Super Parts, gun pod, knives, wrist replacement(?)

regult Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Really? can open hatch and see a Klan inside?!?! the Robot Damashii thingy is only 125 mm as stated, Klan is very small there! If the stated 125 mm height turns out true, then these toys will be slightly smaller than their 1/100 counterparts, which stand at around 140 mm w/o head laser, the VF-100s fighter mode length is 190 mm. I would like to see the Robot Damashii Queadlunn stand at least a bit taller than either VF-25! Edited July 8, 2009 by regult Quote
