Available at bbts is a good sign for things to come I think. Quite the markup though.

no kidding!

I am not even a big fan of Mac 7,  but these look good I'll bite.

ended up going the amiami route.

Would love to get these - but they're so pricey - for statues. Approx $300 US for the pair ... ouch.

Understood. The price is always the problem esp for a static figure. However, as an individual figure, this new figures still beats Arcadia's recent Minmay 3D figure in terms of pricing (Y16500), size, and quality-wise.

I would easily approve for every copy of Basara and Mylene to be melted down and the plastic repurposed for Britai figuarts figures and HMR Kakizaki-1A's.....

That expression of britai says it all...

a variation of this..

dear bandai...

[technoblue]

More poseable Macross figures, please. Bandai? Goodsmile? KitzConcept? Bueller?

Macross 7 is my #1 anime and anything of all time.  Reserved mine at  AmiAmi & MegatreShop (through White Rabbit Express).  As this is an exclusive, I'm guessing BBTS just bought some like everyone else, which would explain the markup.  I do hope enough sales lead to more M7 figures in the future, we'll see.

Now there's a statement nobody ever said ever.

[Lolicon]

Given a choice between M7 or Delta, I'll take M7 any day.

I get it , but Macross 7 got me through a difficult period in my life, so yeah.. my obsession.  

 

 

[ErikElvis]

Macross 7 is dope in my opinion. But not for everybody.

Fire Bomber figures looking good! I don’t remember Basara being that yoked but makes sense.

[borgified]

Sheryl/Ranka and Walkure doing a figure collab?? 

Jokes aside, I had a feeling that it's going to happen sooner or later and it was hinted if I'm not mistaken.

Yes thank you I saw that.

I've never heard that term used here. Ripped is used to convey the same meaning.

This is a big boy!

Probably do some damage on Claudia. 😁

He looks pretty cool next to that box...not as purplish....💜

The color never bothered me but yeah, the figure looks pretty good and feels improved over the Hikaru figure. Of course, it completely different but it's good to see they keep trying to make things better.

Mine only shipped out today, but looking forward to putting in in my display alongside Misa.

Got her in the back there in this temporary display until I can get them all moved to a proper Macross shelf.

How's Ro...er...my articulation do I have more range of movement compared to Hikaru

Haha, you have a similar design but everything enlarged which helps overall with the articulation. Double joined elbows and knees increase the range of motion there but not hugely, it mostly just looks better than the revo style joints used on Hikaru. It loses the additional waist joint that Hikaru has but the upper torso joint is way better and makes up for it. Neck joint is similar but less forward back range maybe due to hair. Overall, all the joints and plastic feels a lot better and more durable than Hikaru's.

Edit: I was going to mention apparent bicep swivels on Roy but I haven’t been able to get either to move on my figure. I doubt they would make them like that if they don’t move but mine don’t budge.

He seems to dwarf Hikaru.. not just the height, but everything else. As if a different scale altogether..

Waiting for mine to arrive..

Yeah, that's what in saying! It looks take than other 1/12 figures including Hulk and I think even taller than most my Sentinel Re:Edit figures. I don't get it but in bot to concerned either. Main thing is it a good figure and looks great.

That just means your Hulk isn't 1:12, buddy.  😅

He seems to scale well with a wide variety of my figures...

Looks pretty much on point to me.  He IS a different scale: European scale vs Asian.  Humans come in a whole range of sizes for every need.  Get yours today!

Haha, I was thinking about ordering the Diamond Select Hulk but the latest ML Hulks are such good figures. Roy doesn't look out of place in that lineup and I'm usually the last to complain about size differences in figures but I wasn't complaining here either, the figure just looks noticeably taller than most any of my other "1/12" figures. Actually, being that tall means he probably wouldn't qualify for being a fighter pilot since Michael Myers is supposed to be 6'7" and Roy is about the same or maybe a bit taller than him there.

Hehe, more appropriate if it was with the other two little white accessories he came with.

Haha, yeah. Well, I done got mine already so what are you waiting for?

I'm always telling people not to worry about minor scale differences and that I prefer to have variances to help my displays look more natural. I love this figure! I'm just curious what other people's reactions are when they open theirs because like I first said about it, this is one big boy!

Roy's out for delivery down in TX today!  Can't wait to get home from work!
