Less than Super Ostrich Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Behold... in ALL its glory! Hasegawa 1/72 Reactive Armored VF-0S Macross Zero Edited September 11, 2006 by Less than Super Ostrich Quote
big F Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Is this an over kit or do you get a modified Vf0 with reactive armor built on to the parts. Sorry if this has been asked before. Just need to know If I need another Vf0 to put it onto. Quote
HWR MKII Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Its a VF-0 with the armor. Just like the VF-0s/a with ghost. You get the whole thing in one box. Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Graham posted other scans in the Macross Nexus Forums while MW was down. Hope it's okay I post them here: Quote
RTHK Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Check it out ! http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails.asp...=shop_right.asp Quote
HWR MKII Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Who knows. Maybe after this Hase will do destroids. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Generally, I like the design, but it does REEK of Gundam. Blech! Did I just say Gundam?!? Blech again. Quote
big F Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Who knows. Maybe after this Hase will do destroids. I hope so !! Quote
sketchley Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Generally, I like the design, but it does REEK of Gundam. Blech! Did I just say Gundam?!? Blech again. The designer - Shouji Kawamori - is a Gundam fan. In fact, Gundam is probably the reason why he became an animator/mechanical designer in the first place. Him and that HAL guy (Mikimoto.) Quote
Berttt Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Generally, I like the design, but it does REEK of Gundam. Blech! Did I just say Gundam?!? Blech again. I hear ya LSTO, to the point where I am wondering if I will get this or not. In the end the design just doesn't grab me. Berttt Quote
Kylwell Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Generally, I like the design, but it does REEK of Gundam. Blech! Did I just say Gundam?!? Blech again. In what way? Just curious, built a butt-load of Gundams and the only simularitys I see are superficial. Mind you, I'm not sure it looks Macross either... something is missing but I'm not sure what. Quote
emajnthis Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 i think it's some of the design elements in the waste and legs that are reminiscent of Zaku's from Gundam or the Leos from GundamW. Quote
anime52k8 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 The designer - Shouji Kawamori - is a Gundam fan. In fact, Gundam is probably the reason why he became an animator/mechanical designer in the first place. Him and that HAL guy (Mikimoto.) He's more than just a fan. he did some design work for gundam 0083 but I think the Reactive armor design is more armored core looking to me (which makes sence as he did design work for that too). Quote
TSP Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 If you're looking for something that's not really Gundam nor 100% Macross. Then this must be Armored Core Almost all AC were designed by Kawamori. Or just to OUT myself: "Heureka! It looks like Shoji Kawamori's AIBO on 2 legs. Quote
cowie165 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 My 2c are that it's the feet covers (whatever you want to call them) that puts the nail in the Gundam coffin. But thumbsup to Hase for pressing on with Macross Quote
Valkyrie Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Finished pics are up at HLJ! WOW!! http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG21 Quote
Graham Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Not really sure about the colors they're using on those pics. I always thought that the chest and shoulder hatches were grey and the blue of the armour more subdued. See Tenjin's art below: - Graham Quote
aaajin Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 hope yamato is workin on this already...ahh...you know better Graham...cmon, spill out the beans once in a while wont cha? Quote
big F Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Ah just asume that they are not that way when you find out they are it will be all the better suprise. Quote
MechTech Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 My "Styrene" sweet tooth is tingling again. Ahhhhhrg! And I gotta buy more supplies for the Daedalus! Hmmm, Christmas is coming up sooon!? All those missiles are making my mouth drool - even in 1/72nd scale (it's not the model glue - honest ). - MT Quote
promethuem5 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I'll have to get one of these.... gorgeous kit. I'm assuming from the pics that the armor is NOT removable? Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 onezero said that he has a couple cases of these on order... so we should see them in the starshipmodeler.com shop soon. Quote
zeo-mare Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 how tall is this kit? is it comparable to a MG gundam in size? thanks chris Quote
007-vf1 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 how tall is this kit? is it comparable to a MG gundam in size? thanks chris I don't know about the kit but the box is as big as the 1/48 size box.. the armor and the VF-0S comes inthe same package so 2 kits in one. The front cover in gorgeous in meatlic gray..I ordered mine from Hobby search 1999 a week ago and it's already here through EMS; fastest delivery ever. I got that topped by HLJ just a couple of times. Quote
Berttt Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Over at SSM there is a bloke who posted an image of a VF-0S next to a gundam as a size reference. Berttt Quote
Penguin Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) I'll have to get one of these.... gorgeous kit. I'm assuming from the pics that the armor is NOT removable? Mine just arrived from HLJ yesterday. Damn... huge box compared to the other Hasegawa VFs. You are correct... the armour is not removable. A few pieces are layered over the basic battroid, but most significant parts are not. The legs, for example, just have a piece at the top to show the leg protruding from under the armour. The chest armour is layered on, but the chest of the battroid underneath has these big posts sitcking out for the chest armour to attach to. Edited September 29, 2006 by Penguin Quote
