Oh, I can see two very promising silhouettes there… What’s the scale of these again?

Never mind.

What does the text say next to the silhouettes? I really do want a Spartan and a ES-11D although I don't have any kit building skills. I will most likely buy them anyway and commission someone at a later date.

Hah.. so after all these get modeled/casted by numerous fans, they decide to make their own? I'm liking this!

Quick, someone start a Ghost X9 and a VF-9 model!

[Raptor One]

So did they announce the scale?

[CF18]

1:60, which you could have seen in the post above if Reïvaj didn't hotlink from site that don't allow hotlink.

Holy Crap this is awesome!!!!!!!!

[neptunesurvey]

Holy Crap this is awesome!!!!!!!!

Agreed.

[Valkyrie]

Excelent! Glad to see they're 1/60, since we already have all of those in 1/72

[PetarB]

So are these kits, or toys?

[miriya]

This is very cool. I want a spartan and a lancer.

A Spartan for sure as well that GHOST!! Possibly a Lancer as well.

[Valkyrie]

They're resin cast model kits.

And I'm really curious what they're going to cost...

So will the Spartan be HDP - like the Phalanx, or something different?

[Jasonc]

Buy Buy Buy!!! 1/60 has me sold.

[derex3592]

AGREEED!!! where do I send my money!!!???

[Penguin]

Definitely, and most definitely. My poor, aching, wallet...

Eh... who am I kidding. I'll buy these and never look back.

[MechTech]

Yeah, as was said, our members build most of these and NOW we get kits. There seems to be a theme here ... - MT

[DarrinG]

Sorry if this has already been posted -- but how is M.E.F different from Yamato? Will these kits be the same material as the Regult and Phalanx?

[DarrinG]

HOOWWWWWWWW is M.E.F different from Yamato? Will these kits be the same material as the Regult and Phalanx?

I have no clue. In any case though, at worst you have the regular resin that many recasters use, which accepts paint and it easy to build with. At best, it is the HDP (high density polyurethane) stuff that is much stronger, more flexible, but probably cost much more. What they really need to do, is make a kit like this of the Ghost X-9 from Macross Plus, in 1/60. Now, that'd be a definite buy for me.

I'd buy one too.

MEF is Digimix Studio. Just like TREX designs the newer valks for Yamato, this is the team that has brought us the Destroids and the HDP Regult. I'm assuming that the Spartan might be HDP, because of the moving parts and will likely be equivalent to the upper part of the upcoming Phalanx kit, and the rest will be resin. The license if probably a sub-license thru Yamato, that's why we've been seeing this on the Yamato blog and their booths.

OK thanks. They are a design team and Yamato does the production. I would think these kits will also be HDP then...
