Solscud007 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Here is a collection I saw. It is only the big guys though Quote
pfunk Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 hoarder!!!! I have a couple models recently bought and 1 broken toy from when I was a kid. It was the smaller version though Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hi, OK here`s mine, it`s a bootleg but very good quality. I don`t remember the scale though but its the same height as the HGUC 1/144 Gundam kits : http://img6.picsplace.to/img.php?file=img6...ighter_mode.jpg http://img6.picsplace.to/img.php?file=img6..._robot_mode.jpg Quote

honneamise Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hi, OK here`s mine, it`s a bootleg but very good quality. I don`t remember the scale though but its the same height as the HGUC 1/144 Gundam kits : I´ve got the same one lying somewhere in the basement (in a bad shape), it came in a set with the Olsen version. Basically I only hoard the model kits, did buy some in the 80s but many more in recent years. Now I have 2 of the transforming 1/40s, one 1/48 Kei and 7 fixed pose in 1/72 plus 5 Nickicks, Ishkick/Ishforn, 1/48 M-Lovers, Bronco and Dal. 21 in total plus a crappy looking Kei Tank I built 23 years ago(Sorry for being sorta off-topic) I really want a Dee so one day I´ll get the toy, it looks very good from what I´ve seen, but the prices have so far prevented me from buying one.

Black Valkyrie Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Yes I remember that package, I almost bought it. Edited March 13, 2006 by Black Valkyrie Quote
pfunk Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Drifand Orguss Orgroid in 1/60 was exactly like the one I have (broken at moms house) I remember the hands and the posability of the shoulders,,, I played the hell out of thast thing, fun tough toy Quote
magicsp00n Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Holy crap, that's a lot of boxes. I have one 1/40 Orgroid that I got in Japan last year. I notice that just as I'm getting interested in a 1/40 Nikick the prices are jumping up on ebay. *grump*. I always think it's interesting that everybody in the US recognizes Orguss toys from their childhood, but nearly never know what they were called or that there was a show associated with them. I had a little Orgroid and Nikick when I was a kid, but didn't know up until a couple of years ago what they actually were. Quote

F-ZeroOne Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I have a 1/40 Orgoid and an "M-Lover" Maaie. Although the latter has a reputation for extreme fragility, it did once survive a fall off my PC case! Nice toys, if always feeling a touch flimsy, and it'd be nice to see a modern company give them a try... Quote
Guppy Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I picked up a 1/40 Orgroid in great condition for a great price in Singapore about a year ago. I'd been searching for years. He's one of my faves! Quote
Hiriyu Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Wow. Great stuff, everybody. I really like your custom Orgroid-Valk, NMB4Macross. I've got a small collection of Orguss stuff, that I'm slowly adding to. This is what I have now: 1/40 Orgroid MIB 1/60 Gerwalk Nikick MIB 1/60 Gerwalk Ishkick Command MIB 1/60 Gerwalk Ishkick Command Bootleg 1/60 Gerwalk Ishkick Standard MIB 1/60 Gerwalk Ishkick Standard Bootleg (Grey/White) 1/60 Gerwalk Ishforn MIB ARII 1/48 Orgroid Gerwalk ARII 1/144 Orguss 4Type (all four of the 1/144s in one box) I've just started building my 4Type models - these are very simple, yet very cool little guys. I've more or less finished the Orgroid and Tank models - the Orgroid in 1/144 is about 3" tall! Here's a really poor picture of the Orgroid: Quote

Graham Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I only have one 1/40 scale Drifand Orguss in fantastic condition that Blackaces help find for me a couple of years ago. Still in it's box, haven't had time to take it out and transfom it yet. May end up selling it on evilbay. Graham Quote

I've more or less finished the Orgroid and Tank models - the Orgroid in 1/144 is about 3" tall! Here's a really poor picture of the Orgroid: 379955[/snapback] Even with the slightly blurred picture that little Orgroid looks great Hiriyu, definitely well built. I suspected they´d look as bad as the old ARII 1/170 Valks but they seem to be well detailed and proportioned. As for the 1/48 Gerwalk, would you say it looks OK? I´ve only got a 1/48 transformable from ARII and it looks too angular and has just a bunch of ugly hinges instead of a lower torso - still, it cannot transform properly. From this experience, I sorta gave up on the ARII Orguss models and got only IMAI kits, but maybe the fixed-pose models are better... As for the small stuff, is there anyone here on MW who owns the 1/120 3-Type Nickick or even the 1/200 Set with the 2 M-Lovers and Ishkick/Ishforn? I´d love to see those built up! The 1/120s were issued as a set or separately, here iare the flyer and Gerwalk: This is the box of the 4-set in 1/200: Quote
Pat S Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Most of mine are here... http://www.mrtwo.net/mr2modproject/toyz/orguss/pics.htm Quote
Hiriyu Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks for the kind words honneamise. My models do carry certain signature touches, usually in the form of big gluey thumbprints, but they seem to display ok from a "short" distance . I haven't seen many of the smaller kits such as you've posted around, which is probably a good thing for everyone, considering what I would likely do to them . I haven't pulled the shrinkwrap from the 1/48 Gerwalk, so can't really comment on it yet. Like you've stated, I had heard that the ARII Orguss variable kits left lots to be desired, but I've had fun with some of their small fixed-pose stuff like the 1/100 VF-1 fighters, and figured it would be good for a eight dollar lark if nothing else. Solscud, nice custom there too. Might be fun to pick up a beater Orgroid and do the same, maybe with some intake mods on the legs... Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 BTW Solscud that custom should be in main page for while, since it appeared in Macross first. I hope Graham doesn`t mind. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I have a 1/40 (I'm guessing) Orgroid with gun, projectiles, and instruction book but no box. Picked it up really cheap at Super Collectors back when they were located in Fountain Valley. The orgroid is sunburned though... lol Lots of yellowing all over. I don't care though because I picked it up for really cheap. Quote
drifand Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Orguss mecha are still my first love. I think I like them so much because as I grew up in the 80s, I came across a ton of really fantastic SF illustrations for paperbacks by artists like Chris Foss, Chris Moore... and the BEST (IMO), Peter Elson. See here for a small gallery of his works. "PE" as he signs off on his paintings managed to inspire with strange organic shapes and strongly evocative graphics and alien lettering. When I saw my first Orguss toys, MAN! It was like see a part of Elson's art come to life! Simply out of this world. Quote

Is that a custom? got any more pics of it? looks liek a large brown 1/40 scale Quote
drifand Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Solscud, that one is merely a real AGED 1/40 Orguss Orgroid - the version with the brown canopy and lens. It has yellowed a lot more visibly than my same-age 1/40 Nikick!!! In fact, I have a 1/40 Orgroid II kit standing by to convert the beat up toy into a custom 'brownie'. Only thing is, I don't think my scratch building skills are really up to the task... so it's on the backburner for now :-) Quote

I have the kit on stand-by. I just need a little bit ot time to get going. The last spare 1/40 Orguroid I had was converted to a Jotun Valkyrie. Quote

I have a 1/40 Orguss which was in a store window or something before I got him, cause he's all sunburnt. And I also have the pride & joy of my collection...my perfect 1/40 Nikick w/ unapplied stickers and a PRESTINE box as well I also have a small Nikick knockoff that I had when I was really little. -RF Edited March 14, 2006 by Rider Faiz Quote

bigkid24 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I only have a 1/40 Orguss that everyone else has. He's really dusty but in great condition. Quote
Alex Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Any one interested in Orguss toys and living in Tokyo? If so, theres a 4200 1/40 Orgroid in Mandarake in Nakano right now...also a 12000en one but who cares. Quote
Rider Faiz Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Looks like the 1/40 Nikick (alt version) and the 1/40 Orguss II? -RF Quote
Hiriyu Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I'm bringing this one back from the nether reaches of the board On the subject of Jotun/Orguss-Valks, here's an interesting one I found. The discoloration on the bottom third is due to some weirdness my scanner just started pulling on me (not that the discoloration detracts too much from the original scheme on this one) Quote
Guppy Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 omg.. frankenvalk! That's something Kidkorrupt would have made. I remember all the weird Dr.Moreau toys he used to create. Quote
