MILKAUTICO Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 yehehesss! that's great! =) i'm making another 'budget envelope' for this! hope they do a glaug next! XD WTF!!!!!! 1/60 but.... but can not say ... I think I'm going to cry. a moment measures is seriously not match this? Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 So the originally posted dimensions have also changed? If not, they may as well also say it is 1/1 too! Quote
wmkjr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) 1/60! So what scale monster would be the gray shadow behind the black outline? Does it need that brace to stay level? Edited October 23, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
kyekye Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Now they're re-label it as 1/60 scale: http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-1/2014%E5%B9%B410%E6%9C%8819%E6%97%A5-fire-bomber-2014-%E6%9C%83%E5%A0%B4%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA-x-plus%E5%B1%95%E5%93%81/ I think it's just that website's mistake? I don't see "1/60" anywhere on the images or official info.. Quote
jenius Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I think it's just that website's mistake? I don't see "1/60" anywhere on the images or official info.. That's what I was thinking also. Quote
EXO Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 No way that's a 1/60... but some people seem happy if they just slapped that number on the box... Quote
spanner Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 i'm making another 'budget envelope' for this! I've decided im gonna do the same! Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) The big question is: how much? Edited October 23, 2014 by Vifam7 Quote
spanner Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The big question is: how much? hmmm yes a good question indeed.. ok so even if it were to be about double the cost of say.. a Zero-D for example, then I think it'd still be in the money for me! Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Definitely website mistake. Centimeter to meter conversion measurements math out to be almost exactly 1/72. (technically about .9 cm off, but that's splitting hairs) That said, if you put something this big next to any 1/60 valk, 1/60 and 1/72 are so close in scale most people won't be able to tell the difference anyway.

McFly!! Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 No way that's a 1/60... but some people seem happy if they just slapped that number on the box... lol true, i guess i'd be one of 'em! XD I've decided im gonna do the same! hope it doesn't cost twice as much as a vf-0d, that'd be too big an envelope XD That said, if you put something this big next to any 1/60 valk, 1/60 and 1/72 are so close in scale most people won't be able to tell the difference anyway. hmm... i guess so. although the difference is obvious when you look at the same valk, e.g., vf-25f dx chogokin vs bandai's 1/72 model kit Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, with Valkyries the difference between 1/60 and 1/72 is pretty obvious, and if you had monsters in 1/72 and 1/60 scale to compare you'd definitely see a difference, but when you get to something that huge and don't have that frame of reference, it probably won't make that much of a difference. Scale is pretty arbitrary with cartoon robots as it is. Quote
spanner Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 hope it doesn't cost twice as much as a vf-0d, that'd be too big an envelope XD hehe! I hope so too but... a HWR-00 MK II even at 1:72 scale is gonna be a lot of toy to begin with so yeah I'd say its a certainty that it will! Quote
McFly!! Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Scale is pretty arbitrary with cartoon robots as it is. True that! I guess I could just put it in the back and pretend it's a perspective thing (and I suppose it really is, for that matter)! hehe! I hope so too but... a HWR-00 MK II even at 1:72 scale is gonna be a lot of toy to begin with so yeah I'd say its a certainty that it will! I hedged my bet with the DX Chogokin monster, just in case this one turns out to be too pricey. If not, I'd like to see how they stack up against each other! XD Quote
DarrinG Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Here is Mike's new 1/72 Monster kit with a 1/60 V1 VF-1. Hard to tell because the camera is top down, but I think a 1/60 Tomahawk or Defender would like very close in scale posed IN FRONT of a 1/72nd. In fact - maybe it would be even more ideal than pure 1/60? Gives you the same effect but takes up less room? I'm kind of a scale purest tho, and it might bug me just KNOWING it was off . . . Quote
kyekye Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Any idea about this one and the shop? Looks like origin is China. They have 1/72 HWR-00-MKII Monster in stock ? Images say they tuned up/modified other kit and selling? Is this legit shop? or re-cast shop? Quote
EXO Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Knock off site... they are bootlegging Captain's kits too. And some guy said that they take your CC info and use it. Beware of that site. Quote
wmkjr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Interesting to see how this one turns out. Speaking of scaled Monsters, I wish bry had a finished pic of his project. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) This is cool . . . KP617-W31.jpg Little know Space War I fact: More Monster crew members were killed by accidental falls during boarding, than in actual combat!!! Edited October 23, 2014 by jvmacross Quote
EXO Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Seriously, who has to carry that ladder to get that Destroid into action? We can build transforming jets but you still have to climb a long ass ladder... lol. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 It's the latest "little giant"....now with OT!!!!! Quote
NightCastle Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Seriously, who has to carry that ladder to get that Destroid into action? We can build transforming jets but you still have to climb a long ass ladder... lol. That just made me laugh so hard! Quote
DarrinG Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 ! Ha -- Its probably emergency exit only type thing anyway tho. Those elevator lifts scroll across the hanger bays and drop off the pilots like the Tomahawks etc I bet . . . Quote
spanner Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This is cool . . . KP617-W31.jpg hmmm maybe the huge costs of building all those stupid long ladders blew the HWR's program bugdet which would explain why there were so few of them built! hehe! only joking.. I pulled that one out of my arse.. but still that ladder idea is complete fail! Quote
wmkjr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Too bad Mike's ending his kit production. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37927&page=5 Quote
EXO Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Oh that sucks. I didn't think this would affect his project. I think that's the second time he cancelled a monster project. The first one was when Yamato released the Koenig monster. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 1/72 is perfectly big enough and close enough for me. Quote
McFly!! Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Bwahaha! At least char had a truck with an extendable ladder... An inflatable slide might've been fun though... Quote
edstuff Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 You know if this thing is A) made of vinyl and/or B)1/60 scale.then those are 2 reasons he should continue his monstar project. The vinyl will probably be expensive and 1/60 scale will definitely be expensive. I could see these going for 600 bucks. If they're that much then the I say the monstar kit should still be sold. But that's just my 2 cents. Quote
kyekye Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Knock off site... they are bootlegging Captain's kits too. And some guy said that they take your CC info and use it. Beware of that site. Thanks for the follow up info EXO!~ It was kinda fish when I saw the Launch stand kit later. Quote
Major Focker Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 this monster doesn't seem much bigger than the 3A MGS Rex which IIRC was ~$500. articulated. with lights. and sound. Would it be around this size? This was the one at the MWcon, yes? Chunky Monkey next to it. Quote
