Man, was tempted to grab a second... must show restraint...
-
Pretty sure the original also had optional head lasers.
-
I don't know about the tiny one but I hope the big red one does. Kinda hope we get pvc antennae with optional hard plastic ones.
-
Does that mean if you missed Macross the First volume 1-5 you can just buy volume 6 and get everything?
-
Oh my... I don't think "twat" was the word you were going for...
-
I'm willing to bet it will never see the light of day.
-
Seems a very off-topic question... but there is no answer yet regardless. Fingers are still crossed on a gray visor on this bad boy. If it has it I'll be selling off my standalone Hikaru VF-1J if anyone wants just the valk.
-
Just saw this, really liked it.
-
I'm sorry, that was poorly written, the 'melodramatic' comment was in no way directed at the guessed price point which understandably comes from the GBP price point.
-
The melodramatic responses are gold. Someone mentioned a price point earlier that seemed based on the GBP, I truly hope that Bandai has the sense to stay below 5000 yen on the destroids (not including monster) and regults.
-
It should have a waist, hips on ball joints, knees (preferably ball joints also), ankles (preferably ball joints also), possibly toes, and definitely articulated guns (easily ball joints).
-
You may be right. Maybe the person who said they wanted the Regult to open and have a pilot inside was totally down with just an opening door and a molded in/painted immobile pilot inside. If they could pull it off without it looking cheap and ugly it might indeed be cool... but no matter how you slice it it would have to make the toy more expensive so I would still question the logic. I don't think the Robot Damashii toys sold very well either so while it's evidence of a cheaper solution it's not necessarily evidence that there's adequate return on investment. If you think a regult doesn't need articulation, pull out the Toynami Vinyl toy and try playing with it.
-
I think you got the gist of it. More parts+more complexity= more price. Bad guys and background characters sell poorly. Given those facts and my desire to see this line be successful and lead to more obscure toys, I hope Bandai focuses on making a good looking well articulated toy without a ton of gimmicks (and thus at a lower price point) so that more people are willing to take the plunge. With the VF-1 they should go nuts. It's a big audience that's accustomed to plunking down top dollar... on the other mechs in the line I hope we get awesome toys that focus on the core elements/articulation of the mechs... not the premium gimmicks we should expect in our Arcadia/DX toys. In no way do I think a Regult toy with a pilot and cockpit is a dumb idea. I would love for Arcadia to do that at 1/60 and I'd pay top dollar for it. I just don't think this is the line for that and I think there's a lot of people already indicating they think this line can be small DX toys without thinking that small DX toys would cost about as much as actual DX toys and still have some compromises for the scale.
-
I think we're allowed to disagree without it being mischaracterized as something more.
-
You need a hinge, a door, a guy, a place for the guy to sit, stronger joints, is the guy articulated, what kind of detail in the cockpit? Now you're doubling the price for a gimmicks that probably wouldn't look that great and some people wouldn't use at all. It might even make the toy fragile or fiddly. On a DX toy I could see it but I would rather own two at 1/100 for diorama purposes than one with lots of concealed internal bits.
-
I agree... it's 1/100 scale, Yamato couldn't make a cockpit work at 1/60 scale. I want the toy to look good, be articulated, and not break the bank. A bonus would be different weapons included.
-
Slapped on paint + lighting... I'm sure the panel lines will be the same as the 0D.
-
Pretty sure it's still attaching via magnet, in the front at the very least. The slot in the back would make sure it was aligned properly after the magnet took hold.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
jenius replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That was posted last page... still good. -
I don't think I have a problem with a movie where Charlize Theron is a sex slave traveling with other sex slaves in a post-apocalyptic future. It sounds like I wouldn't mind Mad Max playing second fiddle in that set-up.Girls on the run in a shtty future could be pretty compelling.
-
More articulation is good, not bad.
-
That's a pretty circuitous route! I'm planning on giving this a thorough comparison to the first release in the coming week or so.
-
YES! Mine has finally graced me with its presence! Hopefully I'll get to play with it soon.
-
100% agree on black wheels... I had a black Corvette at one point in my life and was in a very black phase so I considered doing black wheels... then I randomly saw a Corvette just like mine with the black wheels and realized how important a little contrast is. Maybe a bright car with black wheels would work... but all black didn't work for me.
-
I dunno, I saw a satin black Lamborghini at Stanford last summer and it looked amazing. A guy parked his black R8 next to it and circled the Lamborghini several times before grabbing his clubs... which got me wondering if you could fit golf clubs in the Lamborghini.
