nightmareB4macross Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 FCUK YEAH!!! Now that's what I'm talking about. A definite MUST HAVE! Quote
Major Focker Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 good news indeed. would be a welcome addition to the mecha factory set. at that size, really makes lighting a possibility Quote
electric indigo Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Let's hope this doesn't go the way of the Tomahawk. Quote
Kremmen Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Naturally, I'm disappointed it isn't 1/35th. But I think I'll buy one of the piddly little things anyway. Quote
big F Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Even at 1/100 this is still a big mother. Lets hope it doesnt go the way of the Dodo before its released, Quote
electric indigo Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 There's a prototype already: http://www2.moeyo.com/img/09/10/08/5/525.html And it looks like the Tom is back from the dead. Quote
PetarB Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 What a great time to be a Macross modeler. I can hardly believe it! Quote
Maiden Japan Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Should I paint this one in green, or brown.....hmmmmm decision, decision I can't wait!! Quote
Save Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I just saw it at the show, my jaw dropped to the floor. Quote
macrossnake Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I just saw it at the show, my jaw dropped to the floor. I want a 1/60... Before the dream happen, I will get this one for sure! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Yeha i'm in for one. lol. 1/100 is a great scale, lots of valk types to group up with this monster! Quote
ahiachris Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Since I'm already deep into 1/72 and 1/144 there's no plans for me to step into 1/100 Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 With all the Bandai and numerous other 1/100 scaled stuff (not o mention fully variable), it's very attractive. Quote
cowie165 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 What a great time to be a Macross modeler. I can hardly believe it! You said it Petar! I can hardly believe it either - it's the only 1/100 Macross kit I was hoping for but thought I'd never see! Very exciting news. Quote
007-vf1 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Since I'm already deep into 1/72 and 1/144 there's no plans for me to step into 1/100 That's my train of thought. Back in the 90's and earlier 2000 there were not that many affordable mecha to collect from. 1/100 would have been my scale of choice but there was not that much available until Mac-plus and 7 came along. Now that things have changed for the better, seems there's plenty of choices on all scales. By now I have settled for 1/72 and 1/144 exclusively. Quote

I think the 1/100 Monster will be for those that bought the 1/100 bandai kits. It will be a great addition to a lot of people. Quote
neko_fr Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Oohh no, not now! I don't have any more monney for now, please! I'm only in 1/72 scale, but for this one, I'll make the cacrifice By the way, talking 1/72, the pilots at studiostarforge are great, even if it takes some time to come...maybe a monster in 1/72, one day (I'll have to buy more of these guys ) Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 f*cking hell, why are they coming out with all this cool stuff now that it's almost impossible for me to keep scale modeling.. buuuuuu cool, finally a new Monster, let's hope the details levels is good, their non-scale VF-0S were a bit lacking Quote
ron5864 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Oh wow! I am definitely interested in one of these, even though I already have the ARII 1/160 scale version. Start saving $$ for this. Does anyone know if the joints are moveable? Quote
MechTech Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I scratch built one in 1/100 and YES, this thing will be BIG! The 1/160 kit will not touch this size wise. I love the detail and posability if these proto pictures say anything! It's on my wich list too-always have a spare (even though I build 1/200 mostly). - MT Quote
Kremmen Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm gonna go a bit kinky for a second and just say...I LOVE THE FEET! The Monster's feet are often captured a little 'off' in 3D but from what we've seen so far this one looks like they've got them just right. Big and curvy. Quote
Kremmen Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Meh, I want a 1/60 kit dammit. 1/60 isn't a kit scale, so, sorry, not gonna happen. Also, it would be so big that even I would struggle to justify it, and I'm a freak for bigger kits. Quote
Cent Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Oh my god. Im so getting this. But uhh... Why arent the cannons hollowed out? Edited October 25, 2009 by Cent Quote
AcroRay Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Oh my god. Im so getting this. But uhh... Why arent the cannons hollowed out? Probably because the piece on display is a pattern hardcopy, not an actual injection-molded sample. I'm really pleased with this. Most of my SDFM stuff is either 1/55 or 1/100, so it'll fit in nicely. (If I want something bigger, I'll build the papercraft kit.) Edited October 26, 2009 by AcroRay Quote
CF18 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) So they are still working on it... Edited October 14, 2010 by CF18 Quote
Major Focker Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 i don't mind the delay. i just really hope it doesn't become vaporware. btw, looking at the bottom most pic, was the MkII supposed to be that pointy? Quote
cool8or Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 If we could enlarge that kit to 1/72... Quote
Ghadrack Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 If we could enlarge that kit to 1/72... Well, Senor Salzo did put his project on hold, but I think that his 1/72 may still make a re-appearance for those that missed out on the first run. Barring financial catastrophy I'll be picking up a second one. 1/100 is cool, but the 1/72 is as big as a dog Quote
cool8or Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I have Mike's v1 Monster too, but I'd like to see a Wave version, an industrial and plastic version can be plenty of details, and it's cheaper too. Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Any ideas for what this MONSTER will cost? This would be my 1st MKII in over 12 years, I want this guy!!! Quote
MechTech Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I still think big is sexy - at least in this case. I'm looking forward to this. I'll just have to buy it for my son so we can build it together - then keep it in my area ;^) - MT Quote
