jvmacross Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 1 hour ago, no3Ljm said: Hey @jvmacross. I put them side-by-side and measured the VF-1A to the Orguss based on the given height measurement from their respective product descriptions. Hope it helps. Edit: I checked the Hi-Metal R Xabungle page and it says 17cm. If you have one, you can probably use it to compare it with a VF-1 figure to have an idea how big this Orguss is going to be. Thanks....so maybe the HMR is closer to a 1/60 VF-1? Quote

The outcome will become the opposite of what was shown earlier. Orguss proportion would look too small for it. How about KitzConcept's 1/72 VF-1A? Which is 19cm based on its product description. Maybe this one will work. *Please note the VF-1A above is still the Hi-Metal R version and not the KitzConcept model. Edited March 2, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
technoblue Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 I prefer the first comparison. I think using the diminutive HMR head piece would make the Orgroid look like a massive armor upgrade for the CF guys. Quote

But it's not going to match the image below from jvmacross. If this is going to push thru, it's gonna be one expensive custom. Quote

It would be far cheaper and more likely easier to kitbash the upcoming moderoid kit with a couple Macross kits , like the head from a 1a and parts from an armored Valkyrie kit and maybe leg and fore arm parts from a super Valkyrie. Just gotta figure out which scale Valkyrie kits to get to fit the Orgus kit. Or maybe someone is really good with 3D printing. Either way, I’d love to see it. Quote

I would do that if I'm good at kit building/painting and if I have time on actually doing it. But then, we also haven't heard from @jvmacross of his actual plan. Quote

But I would be keen to see the HMR 1A head attached to a t.h.i.c. neck piece just to compare it to the artwork in person. Quote
Shawn Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Just FYI, if you are an Orguss fan and have not yet ordered the Figure King magazine yet....DO IT. It is just awesome-covers all the Takatokus, Ohsatos, tons of Line Art, interviews, Model kits, and collectibles...it is AWESOME. It is the definitive ORGUSS collectors book! If you are a fan of the Macross Package Art book, you can find the same artists did the model kits (Suzuki and Takani) Quote
Phyrox Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Wait a sec...does this mean there was a Logwood gashapon made? Man, that's the one thing for Orguss I always really really wanted and thought had never been produced. I would love a model...but this would be cool too! Quote

jenius Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I don't really recall Orguss 2 at all but the badging makes me think it's the main mech from that show. Quote

Don’t be surprised. I’m pretty sure there’s people out there willing to pay for that amount for a garage kit. It just so happen that this is not catered to all of us. It’s for the diehard fans.

no3Ljm Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Anyone have an idea how big are these kits beside the Megahouse Variable Hi-Spec Orguss figure? Are they proportioned? From what I know the Hi-Spec is 1/40 scale. These Imaii M.Lovers kits are 1/48. I’m just concerned that the M.Lovers might look big against the Orguss esp the cockpit area. Want to know if they’re going to look good displayed together. Thanks. Edited March 19, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote

Want to know if they’re going to look good displayed together. Thanks. If the Orguss is true to the 1/40 scale, then it would be the other way around if the M.Lover kits are true to their 1/48 scale. There is the possibility that one of if not both companies are off in scale and they may be pretty close, or they could be really far off. going by 1/35 scale Votoms versus 1/48 counterparts is a very big size difference. The 1/48’s are barely up to the knees of the 1/35’s. In larger scale, the differences in something like 1/40 to 1/48 may be noticeable even if it’s not quite as drastic as the Votoms example. I still think it may be worth it to get the kits and judge for yourself. Those old Imai kits have always been ahead of their time in the looks department Quote
no3Ljm Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Preordered. It has 2 canopy options to make it lineart accurate. https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-orguss-super-dimension-century-orguss-gsc18179 https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-7245 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10984021 https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=68065 https://hobby-genki.com/en/moderoid/17180-moderoid-orguss-super-dimension-century-orguss-plastic-model-4580590181793.html Edited May 10, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
no3Ljm Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 So the Moderoid kit height is approximately 16cm as per the website info. So it's 1cm short from the Hi-Metal R figure at 17cm. https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/14334/MODEROID+Orguss.html The model stands at about 160mm in height and features several points of articulation. Reviewed and approved by mechanical designer Kazutaka Miyatake. It can be transformed into its Orgroid, Flyer, Gerwalk and Tank forms without using interchangeable parts. Cockpit parts that prioritize proper proportions are included for its Flyer and Gerwalk forms, bringing its appearance even closer to its look from the anime. Missile gun and interchangeable hand parts are included. The various parts of the mecha have been separated into different colored runners, pre-painted parts and stickers, making it easy to recreate the mecha with a simple assembly. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Wow so much new stuff. Anyone think either of these (moderoid or HMR) will be better than the megahouse froma few years back? They seem to be quite a bit smaller but bigger isn't always better i guess. EDIT oops saw some comparison pics hmr vs. megahouse from the previous page. man they both look great especially in bot mode. The megahouse seems to be more balanced....like the other modes (mode 2 espeically) look better than the hmr though. the moderoid looks interesting too, but is the smallest of the lot and also is more compromised in the other modes. still all of them look so good! i never was a fan of the anime but always liked this mecha design.

That is hard to answer since they're all different from each other. Not to mention the scale and the current prices. It's like comparing DX VF-1 to the HMR VF-1 to a model kit VF-1. Quote
lechuck Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Useful scale is pretty much crap for any of the offerings. In fiction the Orguss is listed as being 8.7 m tall. HMR at 17 cm ~ 1/51 Moderoid at 16 cm ~ 1/54 Variable Action at 21 cm ~ 1/41 Why is it so hard for these companies to design the Orguss with a more universal scale like 1/35, 1/48 or 1/60 in mind?

Bandai has been doing a lot of web exclusives for classic mecha as hg kits, like the Sirbine, Dragonar1, Vifam and now a scopedog. It wouldn’t surprise me if sometime in the not so distant future that they do an hg Orgus kit. Maybe 1/72 or something, but probably not as big as the other releases. Quote
no3Ljm Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I like the 40th Anniversary Orguss plate design. From the recent Shizuoka Hobby Show 2023. Edited May 10, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
