Custom Robotech: Breetai / Macross: Britai Kridanik figure

[Mark Warlock]

I'm new to these forums, but I'm sure that some of you may know me from the Robotech forums. I thought I’d share this custom Robotech Breetai figure (or Britai Kridanik for the Macross fans), I unveiled recently, to those that hadn't seen it before. Hope you all enjoy it. Thank you for your time.

Thank you both. Yeah he's pretty big... I figured if I'm gonna make a figure as iconic as he, then why not go all the way. If you're gonna go big... go real big..

Thanks again, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I might go ahead and add the pics and write up in the original post later.

Nice work. Bet there was a heart stopping moment when you made the first cuts to the Batman head. Turned out ok in the end though. Of cause now you will have to do all the non micronised characters.

Thank you sir. You know I did good when I chopped off the "bat ears" and even when I split the head open to adjust the back of the head forward... Now when I was about the cut into the left side of his face to remove a large section I needed to reconstuct... Thats were I was really nervous. It actually took me 2 days to get the courage to take that exacto knife and cut in. I finally just said "F' it... here goes nothing". Yeah I was quite happy with how it turned out. As a matter of fact I do have both Rick and Lisa on the drawing board though they are a little ways down the road. I'm currently working on "Robotech's Dolza" or "Boddole Zer from Macross".

Thanks MechTech. I was actually working on building a custom display case for him... though I am putting it on hold for a little while due to the fact that I am currently working on 2 more figures, with a possible 3rd, of the same size, all different of course.. So I'm gonna wait to build one big enough to house them all. I'll be sure to post pictures of the figures as they are completed. Thank you again for the compliment. It means a lot coming from a fellow customizer.

A buddy of mine and I were talking about this guy and I remembered I had never added pictures. So here are a few pictures for those who don't like clicking links.

Oh man, I really like that! I would have never thought to make any sort of logical connection from Batman to Breetai, but seeing it here? It totally works. Really well done, man!

[Jasonc]

Seeing this thing really makes me want the Yamato version. This one, while a very good job, just seems too big.

I've always had building my own Breetai on my list of projects - you set the bar high. That looks great. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thank you sir, I sincerely appreciate the kind words. I really had a lot of fun pushing it with this guy. I had to come up with new ways of doing custom work to pull it off. There are things I would have taken more time on and done a little differently but I was happy with how he turned out.

Did they ever produce that Yamato figure? I remember seeing a prototype sculpt but never saw a production version.

Oh and thank you again, You know when it came to the size I wanted to go as big as I could. I felt a character that large needed a figure to match.

Thank you very much. That's very humbling. I never thought when I was building him that he would be any kind of standard so I am truly honored by your comment.

Thank you all.

That is pretty dang awesome.

[Valkyrie addict]

Now make an equivalent VF-1J to reenact Hikaru getting his ass kicked.

hehe, kidding, Awesome figure.

This is awesome. I wish it was at MacrossWorld Con. Maybe next year?

ooh! even better!

Mark, if you make one of Exedore, make sure you can wind him up so he does his Minmay dance impression.

Because he's the villain Macross deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not the hero. He's a silent guardian, watchful protector.
