Chindenathus Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) I like the VB-6 and all, but doesn't it seem like the feet are a little small relative to the torso? And the cannons arent quite as wide as I thought them to be. Looks a little different from this >>>VB6 Comparrison Images<<< Nevermind, some comparing between the pics and the RD VB-6 looks completely different. The frontal knees are completely different, and the hind portion is different too. The torso is indeed too big, and the cannons are too small and short. Even the side turbines on the torso are misplaced and too small. This can either be for the sake of Bandai's kid-friendly philosophy, or the necessity to make it transformable, but it sure as hell isn't accurate. Ugh. Someone make a gerwalk only VB-6 or HWR already =/. Has any noticed just how much anime magic the VB6 has between modes in the old artbook/game it came from? The "Design Differences" are caused pretty much due to nothing on it can magically shrink to be smaller in the mode it isn't prominent. the nose and wings are distorted for flight mode, the feet and cannons for gerwalk, and the head, arms, and legs are emphasised in battroid. The "Koenig Monster" has some of the heaviest anime magic in the Macross continuity. This is why when a company tackles the design, I applaud their efforts and prepare myself for the "shortcomings of the fruits thereof. No VB6 design that has all three modes without serious partswapping will be lineart accurate. Edited September 14, 2009 by Chindenathus Quote
eugimon Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 nice, lots of details. can't wait to see a proper sample transformed correctly. Quote
eriku Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'm anxious to see it painted, and weather or not it will be graced with Ranka the Monster Girl. And just to jinx it I'll express my baseless fear that they'll make the Monster Girl version a Tamashii web exclusive. Quote
EXO Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'm anxious to see it painted, and weather or not it will be graced with Ranka the Monster Girl. And just to jinx it I'll express my baseless fear that they'll make the Monster Girl version a Tamashii web exclusive. It's almost inevitable. Quote

And just to jinx it I'll express my baseless fear that they'll make the Monster Girl version a Tamashii web exclusive. considering how creepy that version is, I could care less if it's exclusive. I want one (regular version) though, this looks amazing. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I kinda like the Yamato's proportions better, but will get this for the (hopefully) better engineering and the color scheme, of course. Too bad the knee pad still won't reach the top of the leg, as in the lineart, just like the Yamato one. Quote
anime52k8 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Too bad the knee pad still won't reach the top of the leg, as in the lineart, just like the Yamato one. actually it looks like they will, this is a floppy resin prototype after all. It looks to me that once it has properly tight joints and the legs are in the right position it should be able to say in the right position. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Hopefully we'll also start to see the other modes soon. Where was that displayed, EXO? Quote
Ghost Train Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 More prototype shots of VF-25: http://tamashii.jp/special/robot_damashii/...14&level=02 (The prototype material color is actually pretty nice! ) Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It's looking surprisingly good, especially the Q-Rea!! I'll give this line a try Quote
Cent Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Yea I gotta agree, the prototype color and material is pretty awesome. Btw, the VB-6 from the side angle there is practically falling apart. And I realise that the design employs a lot of anime magic, but I would like someone to release a gerwalk-only mode, to cater to the accuracy of the lineart. No transforming, no more magic. I dont even mind if they sacrifice posability for something like that. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Btw, the VB-6 from the side angle there is practically falling apart. well of course it's going to look floppy, it's a RESIN PROTOTYPE. any VB-6 is going to be heavy as hell relative to it's size, and resin mockups always have lose joints. By the time we see a production version it will look fine. Quote
Cent Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Yea, I know that. I just think it's hilarious looking. BATTLE DAMAGE! Quote
regult Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 the VF-25 poses look cool, and so does the Q-rea, but I'd persally loved to see more Q-rea action poses! Quote

eriku Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Hrm...that one does kind of burn. I want that one even more than Klan's. Oh well, I guess I'd rather see it made as an obtainable exclusive than not made at all. Quote
GGemini Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 125mm tall. Comes with two pilot figures (Raramia Reremia and Nene Rora) and swapping part for the knee cover. Pre-order begins today (November 6th). Mid March release, 3,360 Yen (inclusive of tax). Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for the pics!!! The VF-25 and Q-Rea look great. First impression? Are the joints tight? Quote
jenius Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I need something for scale... they look tiny. Are they 1/100 size? Quote
miriya Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I need something for scale... they look tiny. Are they 1/100 size? I was just about to ask the same question. @ff95gj: Do you have the 1/72 scale model? Could you post a picture with them side by side? And does it come with the stand? Edited November 12, 2009 by miriya Quote
miriya Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Next question is where is the cheapest place to buy this considering cheap shipping too to USA? Are there any USA vendors carrying this yet? Quote
ff95gj Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 It is tiny... Even smaller than a VF100. It doesn't come with the stand... The joints are good. I'll post a comparison later tonight. Quote

ff95gj Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Thanks. I look forward to seeing. I hope it is taller than my Alto Gashapon fig. Gashapon? Should be yes... Ex Gear (without the armor, of course)? Probably not... Quote
Knightdramon Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 It's a non-scale line, so stop trying to find one. If helpful, all figures stand between 12.5-15 centimetres tall. Quote
