grss1982 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Hi guys, just was browsing to the net about macross stuff and encountered this in on of the sites: http://www.absoluteanime.com/robotech/fokker.htm apparently according to his stats roy focker is 7'1" tall!!! isnt that as tall as SHAQ? Anyway i could'nt even imagine somebody that tall ebing stuffed into a valk. tallest i remembered to fit in valk was guld goa bowman, who on the compendium is listed at 6'7". BTW, what i really wanted to ask is: IS this for real or is it just a clerical error? Quote
EXO Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 it's real, we had discussed it recently in another thread. The CM figures are to scale, amazingly enough... We also discussed in the toy section, I've been wanting to sculpt heads for 1/6th scale figures but there's no bodies that would accomodate Roy and Kakizaki to scale up with Max and Hikaru. Quote
polidread Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 does somebody know how to contact Haruhiko Mikimoto, just so we can ask him? that's scary..... 7'1" pilot..... Quote

AlphaHX Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Wow, he grew like... a foot in a several of years from Zero to SDF. Quote
JB0 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Wow, he grew like... a foot in a several of years from Zero to SDF. Yes. A tragic test-flight accident left him crippled, so they gave him new cybernetic legs. And he demanded they add a foot to his height. </total_bs> Quote
shdwfx2000 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) thats what good living, alcohol and women can do for you. Edited April 7, 2005 by shdwfx2000 Quote
Chas Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Well according to my copy of TIA #11 DYRL Roy's official height is 216 cm which I believe tranlates to 96 inches or 8 feet! look for yourselves. Quote
AlphaHX Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Its... actually more like 7 feet. 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Edited April 7, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
pfunk Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Its... actually more like 7 feet. 1 inch = 2.54 cm. yup, 25.4mm's in an inch, so 2.54cm's in an inch, and so on. so its 7'1",,, Quote
JSaint25 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Skippy, that was hilarious! haha! I guess they really wanted to stress his "man among men" rep. Quote
AlphaHX Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 At least a foot of that height is hair Hahah... well that explains everything since his hair was shorter in Zero. Quote
Zentrandude Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Wow, he grew like... a foot in a several of years from Zero to SDF. Yes. A tragic test-flight accident left him crippled, so they gave him new cybernetic legs. And he demanded they add a foot to his height. </total_bs> Nah Valks don't use shielding for the prototype thermal nuclear engines and he became a mutant, the hair is realy a simular life form to gubaba.

Druna Skass Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 So if he macronized himself, would he be the size of Britai? Quote
hellohikaru Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Even Kakizaki has a height almost unheard of a Japanese male during that period. I think figures like 170-180 are more likely for the modern day japanese man, anything beyond that is simply rare. Maybe Mikimoto was stressing the changing demographics of young people. Quote
haro genki Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 A little OT, but I didn't realize that Claudia was that tall... Quote
Prime Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Wow, he grew like... a foot in a several of years from Zero to SDF. Yes. A tragic test-flight accident left him crippled, so they gave him new cybernetic legs. And he demanded they add a foot to his height. </total_bs> So he is really sort of like Inspector Gadget? Quote
EXO Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 A little OT, but I didn't realize that Claudia was that tall... you know, you're right, that almost escaped me... Jees, she's taller than Hikaru... Quote
JB0 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 So if he macronized himself, would he be the size of Britai? That would be the most awesome fight ever. Quote
hellohikaru Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 A little OT, but I didn't realize that Claudia was that tall... you know, you're right, that almost escaped me... Jees, she's taller than Hikaru... Roy needs a tall woman to match. Quote
hellohikaru Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I guess in anime, characters are larger than their real life counterparts. Just look this to get an idea Quote
EXO Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 why does that scare me because it'll be visiting you in your dreams tonight.... 7 days... Quote
pfunk Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 why does that scare me because it'll be visiting you in your dreams tonight.... 7 days... now to totally derail this one,,, that reminds me, rented the Ring when it came out,,,, watched the part that tells you not to watch with my wife much to her dismay,,,,went straight into the bathroom and called the house from the cell phone, she wouldnt answer it she was just sceaming for me,,,, good stuff and yes, I will have nightmares tonite Quote
Sundown Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) That character chart and their height numbers are all kinds of messed up. It lists Grobal as being taller than Claudia (who only measures in at 5' 9" by the numbers), but looks significantly shorter here even with his cap. And Roy is simply not 7' 1" in that guide chart, and isn't drawn that way most of the time. He looks about 6' 8" to 6'9" (sans hair). Then again, it could just be that Claudia's massively out of scale. It appears that they used Hikaru's hair as the marker for his 5' 8", and scaled her from there, while everyone else compares correctly to him without hair. Roy's own hair seems to be included as part of the measurement according to the drawing. Conclusion: Claudia's silly huge in that sheet, being drawn as 6' 5" O_o. And Roy's 7' 1" only including his massive do, maybe 6'7-6'9 tops. Or he's still drawn too short, as tall as he is. -Al Edited April 7, 2005 by Sundown Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I find it interesting that Hikaru has a girl for each arm! Ha, even Roy didn't have that! Quote
EXO Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Roy has had 3 or five girls with him, and still convinced Claudia to be with him after she witnessed it. Quote
McKlown Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I think the real question is were Roy's left hand is in that picture, and why Claudia is looking over at him with that smile on her face. Quote
bsu legato Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 that reminds me, rented the Ring when it came out,,,, watched the part that tells you not to watch with my wife much to her dismay,,,,went straight into the bathroom and called the house from the cell phone, she wouldnt answer it she was just sceaming for me,,,, good stuff and yes, I will have nightmares tonite Wow...you're a real prick. I knew there was a reason I liked you. Quote

Or he's still drawn too short, as tall as he is Claudia would certainly be wearing heels, as would most the women, so all of their heights are off by about 3". If the tiny girls I work with are any indication, some of these girls might be cheating by more than that. Quote

Those would be 8 inch heels, mang! She's listed as 5' 9"!. She wouldn't be able to reach that height even by tiptoeing as high as she could. If that drawing's accurate, the other girls need to shop where she does then. Edit: Wait. Just realized my mistake. 5.97 feet is not 5' 9" or even 5' 10". She's close to 6 feet tall. So the drawing does look close to right-- she's slightly taller than Max, due the heels. -Al Edited April 8, 2005 by Sundown Quote

When i first compared Hikaru to Roy I too thought it was off. It looked like a father and his 13 year old son (scale wise) Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Off topic, but who the hell is this guy? Joe Freakin' Blow? Quote
