GU-11 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) so it's a guide to telling the difference between genuine and fake knock-offs? wow, good one china... Yeah, talk about an oxymoron...a genuine knock-off. The mecha looks pretty cool, despite being shameless ripoffs of MF designs. The lack of heatshields is something of a bummer, though, and the "split-dick" design...kind of reminds me of the "prong-crotch" on some of the Bayverse TF's. BTW, is it just me, or does the guy in the red-and-black suit look like he's starting to lose his hair on his temples? Edited April 24, 2010 by GU-11 Quote
HappyPenguins Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 They are really cheap, about $30 30 bucks? Still kinda expensive for bootleg toys Quote
RDClip Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 30 bucks? Still kinda expensive for bootleg toys Thats how much the bootleg Bandai Mac7 toys were going for. Quote
areaseven Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Thats how much the bootleg Bandai Mac7 toys were going for. Really? I got my KO Fire Valk for $10. Quote
ntsan Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) For those who want to know more about the company that owns Astro Plan 9 from Outer Space: Official HyperWiz Site They also have RoboWarrior! The chinese KO to TF animated Edited April 25, 2010 by ntsan Quote

areaseven Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 I was thinking, maybe this year or next year's MWCon should hold a kitbashing contest using the King Size toys. I'd like to see what MWers can make out of them. Quote
areaseven Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Astro Plan YF-10 Model Kit (use Google Chrome to translate) As expected, the model kit is a parts-former. Too bad it doesn't have the split-crotch feature of the King Size toy. And what a waste of box space. Quote
eugimon Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 ... that DX vf-25 ozma is looking so good now. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) haha... you actually made it look quite decent! ... but the best part about that toy is the pilot fig w/ the juggernaut helmet! LOL too bad you got ripped off by EMS customs in Manila... those sharks! ... i had to pick up my RD Q-Rea Pixie there last week but i was lucky that they were kinda lax that day... the lady ahead of me got away w/ just paying $20 for a bnew laptop! i paid only Php35 for my small package ... a tip - if you have a provincial address or a friend that lives outside Manila, better to have it sent there... 98% of the time, you'll only need to pay the customary P35 customs fee. then just have it sent via local air courier to your address in Manila... it'll come out cheaper... but yeah, great custom job right there... EDIT - i see it also has the same no-neck problem as the real DX Ozma... maybe that Wave balljoint kit they're talking about in the other thread might help with that...

Gubaba Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Y'know, A7...if I didn't know better, I'd say you almost seem PROUD of your crappy knock-off... Quote
areaseven Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Y'know, A7...if I didn't know better, I'd say you almost seem PROUD of your crappy knock-off... Unfortunately, you're right. I enjoy this toy, as it's far superior to my crappy Toynami MPC VF-1A. Quote
PetarB Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) This symbol is just a bizzaro Macross kite. Instead of red, let's make it blue! And cut it up a bit! Edited April 28, 2010 by PetarB Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Finally got my YF-10 customized. All hail Lord Helmet! And to think I was sure they were done with the "homages" to other famous franchises. Quote
Funkenstein Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Where's this guy's radar system supposed to be? That split dick certainly doesn't have it. Quote
raptormesh Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Where's this guy's radar system supposed to be? That split dick certainly doesn't have it. You see, the pilot wears the radar as part of the helmet. The nose cone is there purely for aerodynamic purposes. In battroid mode it becomes a heat sink when it gets hot. Edit: Btw great job on the custom Areaseven, still not a valk i'd bring home to my mom but i don't mind giving that a spin around my room. Edited April 28, 2010 by raptormesh Quote

Thanks. I'm still doing further customization on it, and every time I disassemble it, I always find something new. Still, I need to find a way to keep the tail fin fastened in fighter mode. BTW, very sound theory on the radar, dude. Quote
areaseven Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 More fun with Astro Plan: Human Flagship Shenzhou Immigration flagship space mission: Shenzhou Length: 2500 meters Armor: Shadow alloy armor Power Source: Macross engine Main Armament: Gun particle beam gun array (in bow, ship, Mech group), two giant beam guns, 88 MG laser turret (throughout the entire hull, support fire) 100 missile launch tower. Equipped with: 500, "Yi style" high-motor aircraft. Other: A variety of fighter aircraft and numerous small auxiliary vessels. Myth-class super-human one giant warship, representing the highest human crystalline technology. Although the volume is only medium-sized ships for Ickes star level, but the firepower comparable to Ickes Star's flagship, with the use of the Shadow alloy armor, super defense capabilities, even a short time to withstand a direct attack on particle beam cannon. Engine powered by the Macross itself, you can cruise across the galaxy, space jump infinite range of warships in the military area and living area divided into living areas of the architectural style similar to Earth City.

Sam Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 looks cool! i am trying to order one now from kotoys place that is mentioned, and for the tail fins, 3mm holes with 3mm rare earth magnets glued in and painted is what i will be doing when i finally get it ! and im kinda excited bout it hehe. Quote
Ghost Train Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 More fun with Astro Plan: (Translated through Google Chrome) It looks a look like EVE's Megathron, which itself looks like White Base. Quote
Funkenstein Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Astro Plan Base uses a Macross drive? So does that make it part of the Robotech continuity now? Quote
Zentrandude Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Astro Plan Base uses a Macross drive? So does that make it part of the Robotech continuity now? Atleast we know where the fold drives went, into another anime nearly 30 years into the future. Quote
Mr March Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Atleast we know where the fold drives went, into another anime nearly 30 years into the future. HAHAHAHAA! Gotta give you points for that one Quote
areaseven Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) And for those who haven't seen it yet... Edited February 8, 2014 by areaseven Quote
hulagu Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Atleast we know where the fold drives went, into another anime nearly 30 years into the future. Nah, they already did that exact plot twist in "End of the Circle". Doing it again would just be silly. Quote
jenius Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Someone should do a fan dub of AstroPlan and use Robotech music. Make it a download phenomenon and Robotech will finally have a sequel. A fan dub is perfect, Robotech didn't have a whole lot of voices involved back in the day anyway. Quote

A fan dub is perfect, Robotech didn't have a whole lot of voices involved back in the day anyway. As long as it was 'totally serious' - like it actually came from HG - this is an awesome idea. With lots of recursive irony as well! Quote
areaseven Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) The "Lion" parody music video is now available with subtitles. Enjoy! Edited June 4, 2010 by areaseven Quote
Dangaioh Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 The "Lion" parody music video is now available with subtitles. Enjoy! That was painful... painfully funny. BTW, I noticed one of the mechs did a "Getsuga Tenshou" like attack. Quote
areaseven Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) This was posted a few pages back, but for those who can't view Tudou, here's the video on YouTube. Edited June 4, 2010 by areaseven Quote
Wanzerfan Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 The aft section of that G.E.R.W.A.L.K. form of that mecha must play royal hell on the aerodynamics. The drag on that thing must be a bitch. Quote
