VF5SS Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 you're the one who started this crazy revisionist leap between the Quarter and Macross.
jenius Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 you're the one who started this crazy revisionist leap between the Quarter and Macross. Started what? Are we arguing?
Old Man Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Uhhh...getting back on topic, does anyone know when this (the Regult HDP Kit) will be available for preorder?
Valkyrie addict Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Uhhh...getting back on topic, does anyone know when this (the Regult HDP Kit) will be available for preorder? once Yamato makes sure that enough chumps will buy this overpriced block of resin shape like an egg with legs, so the consumer can basicly cover the costs of a production run that will later be sold It's a win win situation for Yamato
EXO Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 I think it's better than not being able to get the toys that these production pay for. Like it or not kits are going to get made and the price of the regult is pretty much what's it's going to cost to make. Actually with the saturation of other properties in Japan, it's a miracle that a 25 year old property like Macross is still getting support. Like I said before, I'm going to wait until I see the price of the mass production SDF-1 before I start celebrating but at least there's a chance of seeing one now. I'm just wondering what scale they would make a mass production Regult. Hopefully the figure will be articulated at that scale also.
Graham Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 You guys do know that the figure fits inside the pod right?
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) You guys do know that the figure fits inside the pod right? The funny thing is that I'm going to get the Regult but couldn't get any figures Edited May 31, 2010 by Ignacio Ocamica
EXO Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 Yup... The cool thing is I already have the 2 types of figs.
Old Man Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Yup... The cool thing is I already have the 2 types of figs. This is probably another dumb question, but what figures are you referring to?
EXO Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 This one... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32378
Old Man Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks, EXO. So will Yamato make their own Zentradi soldier to fit in the Regult?
EXO Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 No its going to be the same kit figure that will need painting and ball joints.
bluemax151 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 You guys do know that the figure fits inside the pod right? You're about 6 pages late with this vital info. What took so long
Old Man Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 No its going to be the same kit figure that will need painting and ball joints. So they're gonna re-issue the T-Rex figures when the Regult debuts, or are you talking about the 20 each that have already been made and sold at Wonderfest?
Vi-RS Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 You're about 6 pages late with this vital info. What took so long He actually mentions that in post#176, one page back.
valhary Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 i think yamato subcontracts industrial design studios for their toys http://t-rextoys.co.jp/ http://frextoys.co.jp/
bluemax151 Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 He actually mentions that in post#176, one page back. It is supposed to be 1/60 scale. Graham I suppose he infers/insinuates it but he did not state it matter of factly..
Save Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Lets see the regult pics Save! OK! At the end of the show Yamato showed me the cockpit and it has allot of detail all four front turrets move and the eye lid opens. Yamato will only be using T-Rex's CAD data for the pilot and another company is doing the Regult. The pilot will not be exactly the same as T-Rex's Winter 2010 Wonder Fes soldier since his requires Yellow Submarine and Wave joins, Yamamto will be engineer a joint system for the new Regult pilot.
Graham Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 i think yamato subcontracts industrial design studios for their toys Many small and medium-size toy companies contract out design work. This is fairly common knowledge. They cannot afford to emploe a full time designer. It's been no sectet with Yamato since they first started . Billy Wong for the 1/72 Mac Plus toys and 1/60 V1 VF-1 and Nishikawa-san (Flex) for the 1/48 VF-1 etc. Graham
Desty_Nova Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Oh good. Looks like the zent uniform is still going to be released I'd been wondering about it.
Uxi Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 That looks awesome. Really hope this is easily obtainable in NA
Old Man Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I'm so in for this!!! I can't wait! Anyone know when this should be hitting the streets?
BlueMax Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I think it is suppossed to be a web exclusive...... if so, I hope somehow HLJ gets to distribute it.
Javabean Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) For us fans sake, pls Yamato don't make this an exclusive, we love you ! Edited July 26, 2010 by Javabean
hutch Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I will definitely buy this if it is available to those of us in NA. That looks incredible and I'd love to see it next to some of the 1/60 V2's.
QuinJester Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 That looks awesome. Really hope this is easily obtainable in NA For us fans sake, pls Yamato don't make this an exclusive, we love you ! I will definitely buy this if it is available to those of us in NA. That looks incredible and I'd love to see it next to some of the 1/60 V2's. Then that's truly unfortunate. I'm sorry. You'd better contact a third party dealer and open a new bank loan.
EXO Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 yeah, the regult is specifically designed to be released as a resin kit. Unlike the SDF-1 which was originally designed as a toy and later converted as a kit. It's not going to be a wide release toy. Go grab your Toynami 1/100s! Actually those dont look bad next to a 1/60 VF-1 fighter.
macrossnake Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 isn't it the time we should move this thread to the model-kit section? It is not a toy. And Yamato, I am sick of seeing this expensive beautiful website exclusive 'model-kit'! (jealous) Please make a toy version in the near future! However, at least we have a 1/3000 SDF1 toy coming.
