I'm a Max fan as well. Since seeing that pic Old Man posted, and also since I like posing these things in Battroid, I went digging around online and actually found a Max 1J for sale for $50. We'll see what kind of shape it's in when it gets here.
-
I must have missed that when I was digging through the thread. Thanks.
-
Do you have any pics of the Max 1J? I've never seen any in anybodies collections.

You're right, that slide bar is a brilliant design that I really, really would like to see on other VF-1's. However, I'm wondering if it's implementation may dictate the size/shape of the backpack which may contribute to the shape/size of the back portion of fighter/gerwalk which I feel don't look as good. Battroid does pose VERY easy too. I leave my 1J Hikky in that mode exclusively and it is fun to pick up and repose quickly and easily. If Bandai had implemented that collapsing fuselage bump so that the backpack could fold up farther that would have been a very good idea to keep the backpack from angling out so far and relying slightly less on friction.
-
Probably because the Orange shows up better on plain white and the Yellow shows up better on the darker grey.
-
Maybe it's semi-transformable and they can tuck the arms/legs up for Fighter mode?
-
Some people like to see the line art comparison. I'm curious, did anybody here get Max's 1J? The pics of it always had a very appealing blue to me but I couldn't bite the bullet on another 1/100 with them being so close in price to the 1/60's I decided after the 19S that I wasn't fond of the the Hikaru 1J I had posed with by two Battlepods to skip any more of these.
-
My 25F was SUPER tight as well. It took quite a while for me to work things out where it didn't feel like I was going to snap it in half. Though based on video's some of the other members here have made I appear to be very dainty with my toys compared to most others.
-
That's still expensive...
-
1K??? We knew it was going to be expensive but... I can't even entertain that. $500 or $600 I would have at least teased myself the potential to get one. Not at a grand though.
-
The other books seem to sell out pretty well. If you don't buy one up in the first few months they're usually pretty hard to track down.
-
The one reason I bought the 1J was to pose with my two 1/100 Regults.
-
Only two months late. Not bad.

In theory I like the Hi-Metal line but I think there's a lot of things about them to dislike as well. Both the VF-19 and Vf-1 look/pose/play great in Battroid. The 19 looks good in fighter for the most part too. I really dislike the proportions of fighter and Gerwalk of the VF-1 though, Gerwalk is especially awkward/bad on the 19. I only own Hikaru's 1J but with the fast packs on it does help the proportions of the VF-1 in fighter mode though Gerwalk is still way off and would still be clunky (probably more so with the extra weight added.) I do like Bandai's solution to the VF-1's transformation with the slide bars and folding shoulders, it's a far better/sturdy solution to Yamato's crazy rotating shoulders. I also like the way the hips can extend out for more pose-ability. Overall they have a lot of good idea's mashed up with some either odd or just really bad one's though.
-
So the major differences are the red bands along the ankles instead of the grey one's, the nose cone isn't colored yellow and that the yellow stripe on the forearms are red? I wonder how close they'll stick to one paint scheme or another? The VF-X paint scheme is almost Hikaru's but not as good IMO.
-
I can understand wanting to move onto other things. But what you've shown us so far is really amazing. Usually we're happy to see a static render, not a motion picture quality piece of film. I hope you return to a transforming 11 at some point though.
-
I am very curious how the hips will be done in comparison to Yamato's 17.
-
Apparently it does now, I can see them right in that render.
-
They did get sort of a double whammy because Daryl established that Shane was lying and killed this guy at the same time as well.

That's right, we've reached such a level of post-modern saturation that our advertisements require advertisements. -
Max and Milia's 1J's look great with the DYRL Strike Packs on!
-
Wow, $90 per leg!?!
-
I'm impressed by how many Argentinian Macross fans there are.
-
I like the Battroid design.
-
I'm impressed you were even able to get the 1T and 1J with the super packs to be propped up with just those arms. I can't seem to get them balanced right.
