misterryno Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Damn that's it??? The sellers overseas are charging about the same if not a little more with shipping. Looks like I will be dealing with Los on these. Plus he's only 4 hours away and I can get pretty quick. Hell yeah brother. I could not help myself...even given my current situation....I put it a pre-order for the VF-1J Hikky and am thinking about ordering the VF-1A Hikky as well. <-----CRAZY ME!!!

misterryno Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I was just thinking about this....LOS is gonna LOVE me if I keep plugging his store. Don't forget me LOS if you wanna give me a free v.2 1/60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO OO Thanks Ry, I have been waiting for someone who I have ordered from before to have it up for pre-order but i did not realize that Carlos had it up yet so thank you. I just preordered it from Lost and Found Toys. I suppose that you could take credit for this purchase too but I probably would have ordered with him anyway as long as HLJ did not get the early bird up before his preorder which they didnt.

jenius Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Generally no complaints about the toy except: 1.) the shoulders which has limited poseability in gerwalk due to the new design and how it hits on the wings 2.) the gunpod is too small. A side by side comparison with the 1/48 confirms that it is too small for a 1/60 gunpod. This problem irks me most. There is also loss of panel line detail to the gunpod. 1/48's gunpod is superior to the 1/60's. ... The 1/60 Gun pod with the new 1/60s is dead on in size to the original 1/60s. I think your method of comparing the 1/60 gun pod to the 1/48s is skewing your image of what the proper size should be. Perhaps you just prefer it to be too big (and there's nothing wrong with that preference). As to the lack of detail in the gun, the whole thing is slightly less detailed than the 1/48, it's the kind of thing that happens when scales shrink.

As to the lack of detail in the gun, the whole thing is slightly less detailed than the 1/48, it's the kind of thing that happens when scales shrink. True. Actually the original 1/60 is smaller than the current one after i took it out to do comparisons. But i was trying to see why did it looks so wrong on the new 1/60 and I conclude its the proportions. The original 1/60 had strange proportions in battroid mode (small head etc) so that when its holding the gunpod it doesn't look small compared to the overall battroid. The new 1/60 with improved proportions has a bigger head, and bigger arms despite being almost the same height as the old one thus making the original 1/60 size gunpod to look small. They probably should've re-adjusted the 1/60 gunpod to be slightly fatter in diameter and slightly longer. That will hit the sweet spot just as the 1/48s. Or maybe i'm just too used to the proportions of the 1/48 Gunpod vs the 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impreszive Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ok gang. I GOT IT!!!! I put it together last night and I must say that I am incredibly impressed with this plane. The toy fits so well together, and looks a lot more true to the line art. The lack of a sense of weight is a bit disconcerting after having so many of the older, heavier valks. I haven't transformed it yet. I am not sure if I will. I took a peek at the shoulder joints and didn't see any cracking, but I don't want to test that theory yet. I am definitely buying more of these. I think I may get the Hikaru 1-J when it comes out. Woe is me when the Max and Millia planes are made. I put the strike gear on. God, this plane looks amazing. I need a display stand now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterryno Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Soooo.....has anyone else gotten the transformation totally right yet? I know that it took me a few to figure it out. What I am talking about is where the swing bar goes into the nose cone. The little flap that covers the swing bar....it took me a bit to get it to sit flush and not be popped out but I did it. I looked VERY closely at the instructions for I cannot read Japanese. I will finally be able to take some more pics tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bri Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm sort of debating to get a 1/60 Yamato (VF-1S w/FP first, can't be any other ). If those who have one, how does it hold up against the 1/72 Hasegawa kits in terms of details and looks? I know I shouldnt compare model kits with toys but at their price range they are more then just toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato QC, I owe you a beer for this... my heart skipped a beat when the head popped off when I was transforming it to battroid, but then I noticed on the instructions that the head can come off to dissamble the canopy, hehehe.... bubble canopy isn't that noticeable for me, this thing is awesome....
