Jasonc Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 How old is the picture? If it's an old picture that was only recently posted, I'd be a little made, but it looks pretty awesome, from what is visible. I hope this project is still alive and kickin'. Quote
AcroRay Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 After all this time, all we get is an upskirt shot? Quote
Twoducks Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 After all this time, all we get is an upskirt shot? Damn Yamato, their dirty NSFW statues are contaminating our Macross! Quote

I hope this project is still alive and kickin'. The picture originally comes from Yamato’s blog, where they say the figure is in an early stage and even though they’re not supposed to show any images of it yet they let us see this one just to know the project is still on. Here’s the link: http://www.yamato-toys.com/blog/ As derex3592 said the picture may be lame but at least we have good news… Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 such a waste of sculpt, make it poseable for damn sake. Quote

I do hope they make the arms at least moveable. If not, I maybe doing some modifications to it. Quote
Batto_man Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 What's also good news is Britai is holding a Valkyrie beat-stick! Quote
crasis Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I don't care if it's basically a statue - I've wanted a good 1/60 scale Britai in my collection for YEARS now. Will get! Quote
valhary Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 good observation Batto_man I didn´t notice that Britai is holding a Valkyrie beat-stick! we will remake this scene Quote
EXO Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I'm into it. I'd rather have a britai statue like that instead of rotating shoulders. I dont see the point. His legs can't move anyway because of the skirt. I just want to have it standing next to my valks. Quote

His legs can't move anyway because of the skirt. I just want to have it standing next to my valks. That's not a skirt son, that's an "I'm gonna kick your @$$ lab coat." The stick is to just give reference to that fact. He's gonna beat all my valks to a pulp. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Not into the whole statuette version of this, but it is better than nothing at all. Also, I wouldn't mind if the assembly was that of the T-Rex soldier, and a cloth coat was made. It would be rather neat to customize this figure with Revoltech joints for greater use and display. Of course this could present itself as an "Exclusive" under the HDP kit realm. Which is ok, presumably that is scaled as a 1/48 kit to later be sold as a 1/60 toy. Quote
DarrinG Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm in regardless of pose-ability or not. It's just such a unique macross toy that I can't pass it up. But if I had my choice I would rather display it battling my VF-1J rather than just standing there. Hope it and Toynami's Glaug sell extremely well and it kicks off a mad rush to do semi-cheap, obscure baddies... Quote

Hope it and Toynami's Glaug sell extremely well and it kicks off a mad rush to do semi-cheap, obscure baddies... If they make it as a completely fixed statue (unk at this time, but I do see that there is a gap between the shoulders and arms), it would totally be possible to customize this toy to make use of joints, either by Revoltech, or some other company. It'd take some work, but to do arms and head shouldn't be that big of a feat for even us common customizers. Quote
jenius Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) If it's just a painted statue they should start including figures with the release of other toys. Each new Phalanx toy will come with a Britai Sofubi. Each Gladiator (or is it Spartan?) will come with Exedol. Each new Glaug will come with a Kamjin. Each new Regult will come with a Boldoza. I guess the problem with that plan is that none of those things seem likely to ever be made Edited March 8, 2011 by jenius Quote

Since it's vinyl, the joint on the shoulders will be by default because it's a point of attachment. Conveniently called "articulation". Quote

I guess the problem with that plan is that none of those things seem likely to ever be made Like the idea - and / or a Yamato Chain Base Hanger that comes in sections. Who would not want to get the whole set and have a complete hanger bay display? If they had started it with the Tomahawk and Defender we'd have the Phalanx and Spartan by now... Quote
Kelsain Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I like that they chose tv britai, but why is he wearing a sports bra? Quote
Jasonc Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I like that they chose tv britai, but why is he wearing a sports bra? Sing it with me....Weird Science! Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Hot Toys should have taken on this project! Just imagine the amount of details done by HT in a 1/6 scale standing next to your 1/60's v2! Quote
orguss01 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Thats like 22 year old Britai....valk smashing Britai had to be a least 45?? His body is like Gov. Arni.. Quote
EXO Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Must be the same guy that sculpted Man boobs Chiciro for the scopedog toy. Quote
miriya Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 The boobs are a bit much as is the dilldoe he is holding but I still like it and will get one if it is not too expensive. Quote
DarrinG Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Really needs a snarling / fighting pose. with even more limited articulation IMO. This will look odd on a shelf with our 1Js. Like they decided to be friends instead of duking it out... Disappointed overall... Quote

I'm just hoping it's sans the man boobs. Gotta have something standing next to the Super Happy Party figures, which really are just tiny statues. Quote

Jasonc Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I sincerely hope this hasn't moved to the vaporware status. It looks so freakin' cool. Quote
