...dang I really want one.

[Uxi]

See the Valk Peripheral and "Detail Up" threads.

[EXO]

I locked it and then unlocked it... maybe it should get its own thread since its not really a valk peripheral...

[Uxi]

You said you have one coming right?

[EXO]

Yes. I ordered one...

I can't wait to photograph it with my Supah Happy Party sets!

I guess I can photograph them next to Millia after I paint them for now.

[Graham]

Now that I'd buy, rather than the Yamato PVC Breetai.

[Save]

I was the second person in line and got one for myself. I would have got more but it was 1 of each item per-person.

[DarrinG]

I had not seen this pic until today. VERY cool. 1/60 pods in our lifetime?

Maybe T-Rex will do them all by themselves. WF 2011?

I've been trying to search only T-Rex Toys on Yahoo Japan with no luck. Can someone provide the text that will weed out everything else in the search?

[Uxi]

I'd be happy if they could get more than a one day license. What's up with that?

[derex3592]

CARDBOARD REGULTS!!! That's the answer people!!!! LOW COST!

[ff95gj]

I would buy almost everything about Macross from T-Rex, but they won't sell to me.

[BlueMax]

Hm.... extremely cramped working conditions for the Zents. Definitely can't be having a spare tyre if they were to get into their tiny work space through the back hatch

Can you blame them after what you have done? For shame... for shame....

[chowyunskinny]

Bid It Up!!!

This depresses me. 1/60 battle bod with figure would be epic! It's to bad we will probably never see it

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Don't feel too bad guys, only 20 made of each set/type, Yamato will come through for us one day.

The text on those auctions say the soldiers are resin kits and need assembled.

That surprised me a bit -I thought they were assembled toys - so they are painted but not assembled?

Glue or snap?

[EXO]

nope... they are unpainted and casted color, representative of the correct base color... Assembly is just the ball joints and maybe hinges at the waist for the waist armor. I'm not sure if the ball joints come with them but they are a three part assembly on a sprue. The ball joints then pop into the body much like a revoltech toy. The ball joints are also paintable. I'll let you know more when I get mine.

[DarrinG]

I think I made a blunder earlier by asking about the purple recon version. I realize now they have different elbows and detail.

But I did see the Mars episode again and the guy planting the mines (grell or whoever) has the purple on - is that because he's in a scout pod?

ANYHOOO - anyone got theirs assembled yet? I want one if anyone cares . . . (crickets chirping)

Re-cast, re-cast, re-cast!

ball joints are not included, the figure is slightly bigger than CM's and the old school Matchbox... I have no idea what these kits were casted from, doesn't look like resin to me. It's more like a mix of plastic with something else, very light weight.

[Kicker773]

So does that mean that you'd have to get the joints somewhere??

[Vi-RS]

Oh yeah, there are severals types of ball joints needed and you can obtain it from hobby shops. The diameters of balls joints and part number are listed on AI.

[DarrinG]

So the face shield eye covers are not hollowed out for you? Matchbox even did that!

Don't get me wrong - I want one, put me down for any re-casts - but the more I learn the more I'm very glad I didn't shell out big bucks . . .

I was ready to shell big bucks but my contact couldn't get me one!!!

I've decided to sulpt one and Vi-RS pics showing the parts breakdown help a lot!!!

I hear that. 20 kits is 20 kits.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Well, EXO, Vi-RS and Save could get some!!!

Don't know if they got both types but 3 out of 20 is a good percent for Macrossworld

I'll bombard them asking for pics of the parts to sculpt my version

[EXO]

I'm sure there will be more released next WF.

Ignacio, you can pretty much tell how each part is made from the pics Vi-RS posted. I'm curious as to how those built in joints will hold up in the long run. I doubt that it's actual plastic because a run of 20 using production molds would be insane.

Anyway, can't wait to get mine... I ordered the ball joints to come with mine so I can post pics of the assembled products and hopefully painted up soon after.

Yeah, Vi-RS pics are greatly appreciated!!!

I also saved every pic from T-Rex's webpage and the CG renders to get an idea of the articulation. I also have John's 1/72 resin kit, so I'll make my own 1/60 version

[EXO]

Oh I forgot there was a kit by the Cap... I think Ranger565 might have that... I want to take comparison pics.

Only 20 of each were made and sold at WF, the day before these get sold.

[Kicker773]

So does anyone have links or suggestions on where to get the joints for these?

[Uxi]

I could use that box by myself. Well... realistically, I'd probably one want 2 or 3 of each color... Guess additionals if I actually wanted to put pilots in my 1/60 Regults.

Vi-RS? Exo? I'd like to know what you guys ordered as well. I'm wondering if Revoltech Joints would be a suitable size.

Thanks in Advance.

[EXO]

They're using hobby base joints. You can use revoltech joints also. They both use 3mm stems but revoltechs run tighter. Once you use those the hobby base ones will be too loose to switch to.
