Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
jvmacross replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I always return to this lineart drawing for my preferred scale among all of the SDFM mecha... ...with that said KC's VF-1 scales well with the KC Battlepod...not surprising...I really hope KC comes through with everything they have teased and promised...although Bandai can beat them easily in recreating this iconic illustration by simply releasing their HMR Tomahawk...easier said than done I suppose.... -

Not really.... Not sure if you own any other VF-1's from other brands...but here is how they look besides KC's Regult... KC's VF-1... Threezero VF-1... Bandai HMR VF-1... Here it is next to Bandai HMR Regult...

...sadly, whatever the answer is...it all ties to Palpatine's eventual return in TROS.....somehow...

The point was that they seem to just send a couple of x-wings regardless of the urgency/threat (based on what has been seen on Mandalorian).....recall what happened in The Mandalorian when the pirates had no issues with attacking Creed's (sorry, forgot his Star Wars name) planet...obviously they knew they could get away with it without impunity as the overall thought is that the New Republic is a joke (the pirates in the first episode of Skeleton Crew even laugh when the captain of the captured ship brings up the New Republic)....TBH, what is the point of the New Republic anyways, if it cannot provide security for it's member planets....the fact is that without the Jedi to act as a 'police force' for the galaxy, the New Republic was doomed from the start...they overcompensated due to their fear of becoming another 'Empire' by apparently not wanting to create a military force large enough that would actually provide the security that kept the peace, now that the Jedi were essentially gone...they clearly misjudged the power vaccum that was created or 'let loose' once the iron fist of the Empire was gone....or at best, underestimated the importance of the Jedi in making a Galaxy-wide government work...in short, these shows are just setting up the need for the return of the Jedi....the Star Wars Universe apparently cannot exist free of conflict without the Jedi...and ironically, also cannot be free of conflict with them....thus Star Wars is doomed to repeat everything we have already seen, only with different Light Side/Dark Side characters....it should have just ended with ROTJ and all Star Wars stories should have just taken place in the past...at least this way we could have just know that it would all work out in the end....

This show continues to prove how inept the New Republic was after the events of ROTJ.... Even worse....it also double downs proving, from a certain point of view, that the First Order was actually a return to galactic order from the chaos and lawlessness brought upon by the terrorists and their supporters in the New Republic after the fall of the Empire.... It would seem the Criminal factions that existed during the Empire’s reign did so under the Emperor's approval....with the New Republic...it seems it is a free for all...no security, no standing army....if trouble comes up...a couple of x-wings are dispatched....lol

Watched the first 2 episodes and feel it's another Disney Star Wars series that I'll never have the need to watch again....after my subscription ends I'll probably not be in the same situation going forward....
-
The only "DX" toys of the M&M VF-1Js released by Japanese companies without bundled Fast Packs were from Takatoku and the re-releases from Bandai.... A release of these without bundling them with their color-matched Fast Packs would be a very Robotech thing to do....
-
ThreeZero's VF-1 has grown on me....will pick them up as they are released but seems they are not selling out so no rush for me...

Hopefully this is not Yamato all over again....I wish KC would have done a 2-pack release instead...Tomahawk\Spartan and Defender\Phalanx....it'll be funny if KC comes out with the Tomahawk before Bandai does! -

I assume the amount needed was to be able to cover production costs for everything listed? I see that the Defender was unlocked, but the kickstarter was closed by the time I could potentially add it. Hopefully it gets made and I can pick one up at some point... I really hope this all works out....the Max figure should be the next one released, per KC... -

Ok...looks like we'll find out in March if this was all for nothing.... It's a very aggressive release schedule, which makes me wonder when or how this affects the release of the Max and Millia figs with the Arcade VF-1A's and the GBP sets (did not PO Max only Millia)....I guess now that I received my 2 Missile Regults I am in less of a hole with KC....but since I am now all-in again, I find myself inside an even bigger hole....hope this does not become vaporware... -

Received my Large and Small Missile Regults..... Other than a sticker applied to the front of each specific version....the boxes are the same.... Large Missile Regult..... Small Missile Regult.... Metallic Red Missiles!!! They look nice, however, the extra weight of the attachments tends to make the Regults lean backwards making them less stable than the Standard Regult...so watch out if you plan to display these on a shelf without some sort of additional support....I will need to test the lighting effects later and can post some pics with the lighting gimmicks deployed....as is usual most of the time, the tampo is done very well and appreciate KC going above and beyond with the unique markings for each of their Regults...it would feel dissappointing for KC not to move forward with the Scout Regult, but based on what has been said by KC, it does not look promising at the moment....overall, I am satisfied with these Missile Type Regults and I'm glad I bought them....hope to get my pilots someday too! -
