Roy Focker Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Estimated delivery for mini-me is Saturday. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Received mine and it's a pretty good figure....the best so far in the KC Macross fig lineup..... Unfortunately, I ordered 2 and both came with crushed boxes.........figs obviously are perfect....funny because I wanted to pay for "extra" protection, but KC said I did not have to because they were shipping two of them and they would be "protected" inside a carboard box.....I may have been better of if they added the plastic corner protectors and bubble wrapped both of them...oh well, sh&t happens... If anyone plans on ditching a close to perfect box and all the plastic trays it comes with (so basically everything except the fig, accessories and instruction manual).....PM me, interested in buying a good KC Focker figure box and the shipper box that the main figure box comes in...so looking for both the "white" shipper box and the main figure box plus trays....need at least one..thanks!

sh9000 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 I’m not sure where the Fock my 2 are but I’ll try to check tomorrow. They were supposed to be delivered yesterday but I’ll eventually get them when I get them. Quote
tekering Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 I really need a Claudia figure to keep Roy occupied... Quote
derex3592 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 - Good one @tekering - No Roy for me yesterday...... Maybe today! Quote

sh9000 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Turns out that the tracking wasn’t updated and the package arrived. Both sealed inner boxes came in very good condition. One of them came with the tray placed backwards. That’s Macross City’s ass. The Roy that I’m keeping unopened has a very good condition outer box. The Roy I plan on opening has an outer box with a dent at the corner and some marks on the side. @jvmacross do you want that inner and outer box? Quote

LOL....maybe that production line worker was having a bad day.... Yes, looking to get at least one decent set of boxes...inner and outer (white shipper).... Have some leads, but they are still awaiting arrivals....hopefully they arrive in better condition than mine....I have been beating the odds for years, but this time I got Fockered real good! Quote
derex3592 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Focker has landed. Since 1985 I have been wanting accurate good quality figures for Macross /Robotech. I can say that with this release they have really made that dream a reality! This release is miles better than Rickaru IMHO. Feels like a quality product and all the accessories are great. Paint aps are excellent and QC on mine is good. Package was shipped with hard plastic corner protectors straight from Hong Kong so no package damage whatsoever. Great job KitzConcept! Now where's my Max/Claudia and all the rest???!!! Quote

I doubt they would make them like that if they don’t move but mine don’t budge. They should be able to swivel. Maybe the joints on yours are too tight. Quote
borgified Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Use the running hot water from the tap or the hair dryer trick @Slave IV on Roy's joints. Just don't melt him into a pile of plastic goo in the process of doing so. Think of Black Series, Classified, SHMA, NECA joints as the joints may have fused up during assembly. Quote

Thanks for confirming and the tips. I’m gonna see if I can finesse mine to move then. Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I came today 3 days ahead of schedule. It was just before I went to work so I only had a few minutes to fondle myself. (Why does that sound so filthy?) Had run the arms under hot water to get the biceps to move. KC has been good with customer service but I felt that these figures were too fragile to handle and was going to stop collecting after this one. Only handled it for 5 minutes but the build quality and appearance seems to have improved. Build quality might have to do to increased size. Can't wait to play with myself. Quote

Pontus Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) GAH! I want mine already! It's been stuck "in transit" from LA for 4 freakin days now! I'm just about done with my angel bird and fan racer display and I need Roy to complete it (and it looks like he comes with the perfect yelling-at-Hikaru face). Now if I can just find a decent looking 1/12 stand mic... Edited July 16, 2021 by Pontus Quote
derex3592 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Yup! I'm all in! PLEEEASE let it come with a severed tuna head!!! Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 oOo I don’t typically go for these kinds of figs but it looks nice. Quote
Slave IV Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Is this Kitzconcept or a (model) "kit concept"? Quote
borgified Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Looks like a kit bash on a 1:12 body with a Hikaru noggin @Slave IV as of right now. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) KC Advanced Figure Series. Edited July 23, 2021 by sh9000 Quote
kajnrig Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Unless that's Taiwan currency, they CAN'T seriously want $900... ~$30-32 USD is what it would convert to, which seems... reasonable, I guess, I dunno action figure pricing... Quote

MKT Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Kitz Concept's quite a let down this time. My Roy is still stuck in shipment somewhere, so I enquired which HK Post service they use. They replied that they normally use eExpress, which I understand to be normal Air Mail (not EMS), but because their post office has suspended Air Mail to my location, they decided to ship it via Surface. This is after their e-mail not too long ago, requesting extra fees to, in effect maintain their normal shipping standards (shipping box & express shipping) due to unexpected rising costs, and which I have paid. Guess I'll only see my Roy in another couple of months at least... Edited July 27, 2021 by MKT Quote
sh9000 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 The newest sign shows $499 HKD. Available to preorder on KC's site later. Quote
jenius Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I wonder if there will be two sets at two different prices? Quote

Gotta say am impressed with their customer service, just like how some others here have mentioned before.. Quote

Another humie variant, and they haven't even finished the rest of the SDF Valkyrie flight suits. When are we getting our Zentraedi Soldiers I wonder? Hope we wont be stuck in "Good Guys Only World" with figures as well. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 The LDS 1/12 scale Control Panels will be shipping out next week. Quote
