VF-0S FAN Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Hello Is anyone lucky and wealthy enough to own one or all of those suckers ?
areaseven Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 No. We're very lucky NOT to own any of those suckers, as they're poorly-detailed, poorly-constructed, and they arrive at your home with broken parts.
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Yeah, some people have been happy with theirs, but others have definitely not. For 5 Grand I'd expect something super-detailed, but instead it's an eyesore monstrosity with less detail than the old Nichimo kits. You'd think the larger it is the more detailed it should be, eh?
VF-0S FAN Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 I did not know all that ( perhaps cos I live so far...). So you mean that Toynami managed to sell some of them at 3000 $ in spite of their poor quality ? ok I gonna buy an army of 30 "1/48 yammies" instead of 1 superscale
EXO Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I rather get 4 of those helmets rather than one of these. I'd customize each one, even Kakizake.
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 For that price, I'd have expected it to have a sculpt comparable to the 1/72 Hasegawa battroid, and be twice as poseable. And it would have to take out my garbage and do my taxes.
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I'd put mine in the passenger seat of my car and drive around town like those "security dummies"... either that or I'd request one that could hold a real rifle and use it as a gun sentry in my entryway.
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 either that or I'd request one that could hold a real rifle and use it as a gun sentry in my entryway. Naw...I'd want a functioning GU-11 chambered for .22LR!
areaseven Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 From all of the reports I've read, here are the major flaws of the Super-Scale Veritechs: - Paint overspray. - Panel lines drawn with a Sharpie marker while the draft lines remain unerased. - Poor packaging. One customer complained that when his Veritech arrived, one of the head lasers was broken off.
EXO Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I'm glad it's ugly. Saves money. Bsu's idea of the hase detailing sounds tempting... plus taxes and garbage? That's a steal.
Agent ONE Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I saw one at HQ headquarters... totally crappy. I was pissed, however I wouldn't get one... talk about obcene.
gerwalk25 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 If I had the bling? Hell yeah I'd git me a purrty little Berrytek . this was taken @ Comic-con 2k2 BS!!!!!!!! My bling would go to a Perfect Grade Zaku. More detail, hands that can hold a Rifle, Heat Hawk and then some . I seen it at Metreon and it looks pretty sweet! ~G25
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I wouldn't need it to be poseable, just insanely detailed. Another major point is that it would have to be correctly designed. Look at those legs!!! Ugh!
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 to me, it looks like a huge interpretation of a bootleg. <_
Nightbat Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 $3000,- ....and it doesn't even transform? what a ripoff *what the hell is keeping that 1:1 Inflatable Minmay?!?!?!?!
Druna Skass Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Sad... My Banpresto looks better than that...
Knight26 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 If I had the money to waste on one of those I would get a couple sets of the Yamato pilot helmet/torso harness, and modify at least one of them into something I could use while actually flying, with communications gear and circulation hardware. Man that would be bad ass to climb out of an aerobat wearing that. Ok, scratch that, one set and then use the rest to get an accurate pilot suit made to go with it, now that would be bad ass to climb out an aerobatic plane in. Maybe a custom painted Berkut or Long-EZ painted to look like Hikaru's fan racer.
Apollo Leader Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I think the main purpose for these suckers were for displaying at stores and other public places, but still, for $3000, they could have build, designed, and sculpted much more realistically and accurately. In regards to the VF-1S that came with the broken lasers, I think I recall that Toynami refused to repair or replace the damaged "figure"... <_<
gerwalk25 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 The ARII Battroid figures look way cooler than that piece of sh!t. ~G25
Chowser Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 For $3K, I want to be able to get in it and use it as a costume! on a side note, I'm still trying to convince my Chief that our entire department should switch over to Stormtrooper armor!
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I'm still trying to convince my Chief that our entire department should switch over to Stormtrooper armor! Just as long as you don't plan on getting out of your cruiser. Take it from me, that stuff is ok to walk around in but sitting is not an option.
Druna Skass Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 The ARII Battroid figures look way cooler than that piece of sh!t. ~G25 That is a low blow right there... But I 100% agree...
Jolly Rogers Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I'm still trying to convince my Chief that our entire department should switch over to Stormtrooper armor! Just as long as you don't plan on getting out of your cruiser. Take it from me, that stuff is ok to walk around in but sitting is not an option. Neither is taking a leak really an option once the armor is on...

Jolly Rogers Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 LOL... maybe someone made an improved version. Back then you couldn't do that without basically getting out of the entire armor. Where did the guy's thign armor go in that photo above? He did take the torso armor off, which was visible in the picture.
Effect Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 (edited) I agree. For that amount of money the thing should be insanely detailed; also should have working lights and talk while we are at it to justify $3000 price tag. A complete waste of money in my opinion. Would much rather spend the money on other, more important things like buying $3000 worth of Yamatos, candy, getting my driveway paved, or hitting a nice strip club with my friends.

Druna Skass Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Where did the guy's thign armor go in that photo above? He did take the torso armor off, which was visible in the picture. You can see one piece of thigh armor between his legs and the other is in front of his right shin.
Yohsho Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Heck for $3000 I think some of us could be a better detailed VF than that one.
Commander McBride Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I believe there's one of these at the Puzzle Zoo in santa monica. It's hideous/ It's like a really big vinyl fig!
areaseven Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I showed pics of Toynami's monstrosity to my co-worker and he couldn't help but laugh. He told me that for the same price, you can get a T-800 Endoskeleton replica. Speaking of Terminator, is this product legit? http://www.toynk.com/catalog/terminator_2_...ale_1851532.htm
Gerli Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Holy Forum-Necromancy! Edit: What kind of monstrosity are you guys talking about? The pictures are long gone and I'm getting curious Edited February 26, 2018 by Gerli
