Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Radioguy replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Like Toynami, at a certain price point, these are hard to resist. If shipping were cheaper, I'd have folded on some of the recent promos. I liked the metallic finish variants of Max and Mirya and some of the other multibuys too. Just didn't place the orders. Helped thinking that it was the right choice because a nice DX VF-1 reissue was gonna come that I was saving for. Yeah, that didn't quite work out.- 2542 replies

If it were available to them, of course. Lotsa hurdles so far.
-
Someone in the PO thread said the details say both are included, which is a relief.
-
I'm in, although I wish it had both covers. Honestly, with how VF-1 DX releases/reissues are less frequent, and the near-instant, and usually insurmountable, late tax being imposed that doubles every year, Bandai MUST be cognizant that folks who wanted the original non-clear version will be buying this as their main Hikaru DX as they can never (at least easily) afford the original. Using the Bandai playbook, "Special Color Version" releases often are meant to simply satisfy the market who missed the first release anyhow, so this kinda fits that bill but for the slightly less-presentable (from a classic perspective) "mechanic" clear covers. In that sense, it almost seems cruel not to include standard covers as well at this point. I mean, as crazy as it may sound, I can actually imagine someone buying this and attempting to paint the the clear covers to match the original due to the cost differential alone. Yes, I do understand they feel a difference is needed to justify a reissue, but no one should be put in that position either. Anyhoo, 1st world problem rant over. ;)

They are not accurate. With respect, @Big s, you're wrong here. They are misshapen, and even compared to the line art you post. You can argue TZ had to deform them as much as they have to remain as large as possible while still being able to pass through during transformation, but that's a worse crime than keeping the head small but overall accurate to pass through. Want the big head? They should give it as an extra like a set of large hands. No one will mind that, and I'd love to see it, but not this.
-
I need to see one close before I'll buy one. Gonna be the same with Unix Square when they come.
-
Love the Miryia maroon, but the 1S head is a whole new topic of discussion now.
-
Well, duh. It was implied. 😄
-
Oh, that Vultan will fly off the shelves. Maybe they can make a talking stand for it if they don't do a talking figure next.

If I was a babysitter, I know I would end up traumatizing them by hanging this up above their crib. Damn, I wish it had a soundclip...

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Radioguy replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't get keeping the visor green across these variants. Sometimes it clashes with the livery. I really thought GoF set a precedent of changing it, but no.- 2542 replies

Pics to come?
-
Yeah, it's so confusing I just can't wrap my...well, you know...around it. 😄
-
If either of those illustrations were the basis for this sculpt, I understand the head even less. If the tradeoff is really going to be that significant, then this shouldn't have been a transforming model.

I saw it theorized that the stickers for MP-44S weren't to be cheap, or to recreate the 80s experience (which I initially thought), but a holdback to have this appeal to those who never got MP-44 in the first place and want to skew that way in appearance. I think that's it, and it may be why we didn't get the toy head, although my initial inkling was cost myself especially for the head. I wish it were cheaper, but I think I will get him as I only snagged a 44 KO up to now. Sadly, to me, he won't have the voice chip backpack which I would have enjoyed; especially if he had new clips. (Ah well, maybe I'll find that original 44 someday.)- 17375 replies

Thanks for posting that, as it's kinda making my case. Chibi joke aside, I think you misunderstood my critique. You'll see I was specific about scale of the visor/goggle (and also dimensions when posting elsewhere), but specifically didn't mention overall size. Yes, it's bigger, but it's also inaccurate in comparison to the line art even from the forward view when you look at the visor/goggle and the lens/window compared to overall head size. If the proportions in the line art or other toys were maintained at this overall larger size, I wouldn't have the problem I do. I might have a different problem then, but not this one. 😉
-
No, it's not that for me. It looks wrong in scale even with the visor. Using the Big West line art you have, can you actually say the TZ head is accurate?
-
If they don't fix that, I'm out. It looks too weird with a chibi head.
