VF-1James Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hey all, here is the prototype uniform for Hikaru from the guy in Hong Kong. All in all, I think it looks great, but I have two big things I'm going to ask him to change with it. I really wish I had better communication with him, because I never discussed this suit with him... He just sort of went and made it. Oh well...

EXO Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 wow. The suit is a lot better than that Roy suit. But the face is still all wrong, I might buy the suit just for the toynami version though, if Toynami doesn't come out with it first.

Mechamaniac Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wow, that one looks damn nice. Yeah, the face and hair are off, but the uniform is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yeah, that suit is amazing. That's pretty sweet. I agree that the face and hair are off but I think I could live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Arms Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) I agree with everyone else, I don't think the Hair looks that Bad, b/c I think it would be pretty difficult to make it look exceptional in 3D. But its a pretty darn good looking Hikaru. Edited January 9, 2006 by Golden Arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1James Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I asked him to change the collar of the undershirt (not a fan of the zipper), and the collar on the jacket (I want it to be one piece, not two pieces on the left side). Also, I think the buckles would look better in gold than in yellow. You guys agree? I love the costume in general though- the colors are spot on, and the cut is just perfect.

Also I think the buckles in gold would look sort of weird. Everything else is sort of a bright happy color I think the yellow works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think it is an excellent custom overall. Especially from this 3/4 view, the figure looks fantastic. I think it captures the unreadiness and childlike character of Hikaru. Hikaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1James Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 The figure's head reminds me of some of the artwork you might find in a Robotech comic . I still think that this is a good looking costume, but I just want it to be perfect. Also, I think the buckles would look a bit less silly in a metalic color (no way they'd be yellow in real-life). So far, this is the best costume he's made, that's for sure. And BTW, Hikaru is using the Obitsu (slim) male body, which Hobby Link carries.

The reds should touch making the red lines look like they're all one. I like the zipper too. Maybe tone down the yellow but I think gold is too flashy too.
