Tober Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) It looks so small by comparison. Edited May 13, 2010 by Tober Quote
Twoducks Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Almost half the zise. Would that be like a 1/48 tall or a bit more? Quote
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Interesting that it only states it's a replica of the 1/2000 model... But not it's own scale.. It's around half in height.. So it's a 1/4000 I reckon? Is it about the same size as the DX MQ? Edited May 13, 2010 by ff95gj Quote
m0n5t3r Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 now that we have an idea about the size... how much do i need to put aside for this? Quote
Desty_Nova Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Is the full size prototype still for sale anywhere? Quote
Cyclone Trooper Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 cheap! 1000 USD! That'd make sense. Half the size, half the price of the prototype... Still too rich for my blood if its going to be around the $1k USD range, though. But let's wait for more official info on the price before we start panicking/griping about it. Quote
CF18 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 It's not half size. Using the image and the measure tool in GIMP, the length of the ARMD is 172 pixels vs 115 pixels, so the new one is about 1/3 shorter making it 1/3000. Quote
VT 1010 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) They shrunk it?! Now that I can probably find a place for it on my shelf, it takes some of the fun away... Edited May 13, 2010 by VT 1010 Quote
eugimon Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 well, it's a good size. I hope exo is joking about the 1000 dollar price tag though. Quote
EXO Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I keed! I keed! Next thing you know you'll believe about some 1/60 Regult announcement next week.... geez. Quote
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 That'd make sense. Half the size, half the price of the prototype... Still too rich for my blood if its going to be around the $1k USD range, though. But let's wait for more official info on the price before we start panicking/griping about it. Half in dimension... Should yield in 1/8 in volume... So I guess 1/8 of the price. Quote
fifbeat Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 $1,000? If it's around the size of a 1/48, that thing shouldn't be more than $250. I don't even think the prototype is worth $1,000. I'm sure a lot more thought and design went into any of the VFs. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Prototype - too pricey Mass Produce - too small Urge to buy ....fading..... Quote
Vostok 7 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I love you, Macrossworld. Someone offhandedly mentions a price as a joke and suddenly it's set in stone that's what the price will be. You do know that companies LOVE that sort of thing, right? "Well, sir, we WERE only going to charge $100 for it, but all these geeks on this forum suggested $500!" "Make it so!" Quote
QuinJester Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I keed! I keed! Next thing you know you'll believe about some 1/60 Regult announcement next week.... geez. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Quote
miriya Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN! WHAT?!?!?! It looks like a 1/60 regult with zentraedi soldier. Tell me you photoshopped that in there. Quote
CF18 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Well, from the source of the SDF1 image: http://genteiichiba.livedoor.biz/archives/51078303.html なお撮影禁止でしたが、やまとWEB限定で「1/60 ゼントラーディ軍服SET（予価8295円）」、「リガードH.D.Pキット（予価39900円）」が展示されていました。 Photo not allowed, Yamato web limited "1/60 Zentradi uniform set 8295 yen", "Regult H.D.P Kit 39900 yen". BTW the 1:3000 SDF-1 is still way bigger than the 1:48 VF-1 - 40cm long SDF-1 ship mode v.s. 29cm long VF-1 fighter mode. Edited May 13, 2010 by CF18 Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 WHAT?!?!?! It looks like a 1/60 regult with zentraedi soldier. Tell me you photoshopped that in there. Holy Frak, I hope that is a 1/60 Regult in the works, Me want badly!!! Quote
QuinJester Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 WHAT?!?!?! It looks like a 1/60 regult with zentraedi soldier. Tell me you photoshopped that in there. Nope! Well, from the source of the SDF1 image: http://genteiichiba.livedoor.biz/archives/51078303.html なお撮影禁止でしたが、やまとWEB限定で「1/60 ゼントラーディ軍服SET（予価8295円）」、「リガードH.D.Pキット（予価39900円）」が展示されていました。 Photo not allowed, Yamato web limited "1/60 Zentradi uniform set 8295 yen", "Regult H.D.P Kit 39900 yen". Interesting. So they're taking the lesson learned from the SDF-1 and running with it, huh? More web-exclusive resin models. Fun. Quote
Twoducks Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Photo not allowed, Yamato web limited "1/60 Zentradi uniform set 8295 yen", That would be the humanoid figure to the left of the pod, right? Cool, Max mandollrobot here we come! Quote
EXO Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 price was a joke.... regult wasn't... Yeah, it's amazing how people can't get it and then run with it. I have no idea how much the 1/3000 is. Quote
Cent Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Actually the mass prod SDF looks to be a much more manageable size. A bit bigger than a large 1/60, but still enough to actually fit in your display, without crowding out everything else. Basically, it doesn't need it's own coffee table as an altar. . Still crossing fingers on price though. Quote
vf_1s Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 How come the sign beside the 1/2000 prototype replica kit says "May 17th taking order" ? Can any read what the sign says??? Quote
Vostok 7 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I'm excited for the idea of an affordable, smaller scale SDF-1 for my collection. Seems like it's roughly the size of the Macross Quarter, which is perfect for me. Quote
regult Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) なお撮影禁止でしたが、やまとWEB限定で「1/60 ゼントラーディ軍服SET（予価8295円）」、「リガードH.D.Pキット（予価39900円）」が展示されていました。 Photo not allowed, Yamato web limited "1/60 Zentradi uniform set 8295 yen", "Regult H.D.P Kit 39900 yen". they must be kidding, 40K for a kit set?????????? Macross collectors in Japan must be seriously rich for this to keep happening. I will have to stick to the vinyl toy if I want another Regult. Edited May 13, 2010 by regult Quote
Cent Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 ? 40k? its 430USD. Still pricey, but it's not a car. Quote
hutch Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I'd pay that for it if it's finished, sufficiently large and sufficiently detailed. Although I may find myself waiting for the hope that a SDFM version shows up. Quote
charger69 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Actually the mass prod SDF looks to be a much more manageable size. A bit bigger than a large 1/60, but still enough to actually fit in your display, without crowding out everything else. Basically, it doesn't need it's own coffee table as an altar. .

m0n5t3r Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 so it's confirmed that 1/3000 is the scale? bigger than 1/48... cool w/ me! Half in dimension... Should yield in 1/8 in volume... So I guess 1/8 of the price. i agree with your math... Quote
UN_MARINE Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 This smaller scale SDF-1 is great news, but did they just shrink the design or did they make improvements to it? The size reduction might actually be beneficial to the toy, getting rid of the floppiness we've seen on the large one. The prototype kit looked like it was eventually gonna collapse under its own weight. And will it still come with microscopic Valks? Quote
