Valkyrie addict Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 WOW!!! factory panel lining and weathering!?! looks amazing, I was thinking of getting this, maybe now I will...loooks too good Quote
Jeremy007 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 looks great. i wonder if that stand comes with the model. i doubt it does. Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 WOW!!! factory panel lining and weathering!?! looks amazing, I was thinking of getting this, maybe now I will...loooks too good Um, no. This is a model kit. The paneling lining and weathering you have to do yourself. Quote
CF18 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 looks great. i wonder if that stand comes with the model. You can buy the black one. May be they are also releasing the write version. http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVDB-101 Quote
TSP Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Why didn't you post it to where it belongs. Like here Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 oh crap, sorry, I thought I was in the toy forum, hahaha Quote
danth Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 So, any reason to get this instead of a Hasegawa? Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 So, any reason to get this instead of a Hasegawa? It's 1/100 scale and snapfit. Quote
danth Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 It's 1/100 scale and snapfit. Ahh. If only there was a good transformable kit. (I have the Bandai/Arai/whatever one, but it's a parts-former) Quote
lechuck Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Nobody interested in what Wave is bringing out? Is the Battroid model also scaled at 1/100? Quote
ahiachris Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Nobody interested in what Wave is bringing out? Is the Battroid model also scaled at 1/100? Can not say that if we're interested or not. It is almost a year now and they are finally going to release them. We still do not have any news on the Destroid Tomahawk. Don't know when they are going to roll it out. Quote
Vifam7 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Can not say that if we're interested or not. It is almost a year now and they are finally going to release them. We still do not have any news on the Destroid Tomahawk. Don't know when they are going to roll it out. Reports from Wonderfest suggest that they're still working on it (the Tomahawk). The scale of the Tomahawk kit seems to have grown to 1/72. Looks like the release date is sometime next Spring. http://www01.amiami.com/amiblo/2009/07/wf_shizu/06.jpg Edited July 27, 2009 by Vifam7 Quote

electric indigo Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Wasn't the Tomahawk always planned as a 1/72 kit? Quote
Vifam7 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the update. The image was not as good as the one the Captain sculpted. I wouldn't take that image as any kind of sample as to what the final product will look like. Besides, some of us have no access or qualifications to Captain's stuff.

HWR MKII Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Also remember that WAVE is also popping new Ma.K models and retooling the older Ma.K molds. They are more than just macross. It just isnt a priority for them now. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 the 1/100 looks really nice, details would be great when there is any. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Are they high grade kits like the Mac-0 types, they'll be very good for custom jobs if they come none painted. Quote
valkyriepilot Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) some new images from ngee khiong: click here for larger images i do hope the final product will have a clear canopy though... Edited July 31, 2009 by valkyriepilot Quote
electric indigo Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 The Battroid looks cool, but the proportions of the fighter are rather clumsy IMO. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Like the battroid, I'll give it a try!!! Quote
lechuck Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Latest images of Waves 1/100 VF-1, courtesy of Ngee Khiong. Looks like they are really putting effort in this, comes with a stand and Pilot. PS: I had trouble finding this thread. Why are no page numbers visible in the model subsection??? Quote
captain america Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Reports from Wonderfest suggest that they're still working on it (the Tomahawk).

Looks like the release date is sometime next Spring. http://www01.amiami.com/amiblo/2009/07/wf_shizu/06.jpg "Still working on it" is code for saying that they can't generate enough market interest to justify the tooling/production at this time; otherwise, they would have gone to production with it by now, and it was always supposed to be 1/72. Depending on what it ends up retailing at, folks might be better off opting for the re-issued MO-SUU-KAA-TOH HOBBY Tomahawk. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) IMO the new pics show the same model from last year, so there's some faint hope that the final release will deal with the ovious issues like the bad fit of the canopy. Wave surprises me, in a bad way this time. They can produce wonderful IP kits like their 1/144 LED Mirage from The Five Star Stories, but this one is crap compared to what Bandai did in 1/100 in their EX line of aircraft kits from Yukikaze or Spacecruiser Yamato. edit: picture added Edited September 17, 2009 by electric indigo Quote
gwfalcon Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Like the weathering so so much, BTW, why these producers are only focusing on vf-1 (Make a vf-4G la~~~~)? Quote
Vi-RS Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I guess Hasegawa still hold the best in 1/72. Quote
Ranger565 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Sucks they only offer DYRL Pilots. I liked the TV uniforms better. Guess I will have to Cut the Football pads off the shoulders for these guys too. Quote
TSP Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) WTF!!! SRP of 2400Yen. That's way too much for a lightly improved version of the old Bandai kit. Especially if you need to vacuum form a new canopy, sharpen the edges of all the wings, air intakes and thruster nozzles. Edited September 20, 2009 by TSP Quote
electric indigo Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Official pages are up for Battroid and Fighter. The canopy and the panel lines are much better than the prototype version, but the pilot looks like he's fallen asleep at the controls. Quote
Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Official pages are up for Battroid and Fighter. The canopy and the panel lines are much better than the prototype version, but the pilot looks like he's fallen asleep at the controls. LOL...an accurate portayal of Drunken Roy from DYRL! Quote
