cool8or Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 This is too big to be done in vinyl, IMHO. This must be done in plastic or resin. And according with this, the price could be over $500, easy. Don't surprise is this reach the $700 Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.... Love that enthusiasm! I'm going to hold off on any declarations of "buy" or "pass" until more details are confirmed. -b. Quote
Mommar Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I've wanted a Monster. It's close enough in scale for me to not care. The thing is HUGE no matter what. The price... man, that might be the deciding factor. But I've been waiting for something like this since I was a child. Quote
Chet Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 At 1/72 scale, maybe they are trying rope in the model kit builders, and hope the "action model" collectors don't mind the smaller scale? Anyway, I've read nothing but great things about X-Plus from kaiju collectors, although I believe the stuff they make is usually static? Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 More news and pics at CollectionDX Man, I followed the link expecting to see more news and new pics... Quote

In giant Katakana letters, "Destroid Monster Big Size Sofubi" [sofubi of course meaning soft vinyl] Quote

Anyway, I've read nothing but great things about X-Plus from kaiju collectors, although I believe the stuff they make is usually static? Not that I would expect much in the way of movement with this thing anyway but does that mean not even the arms will adjust? Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 They don't appear to be separate parts on the prototype, so there's a pretty good chance that they won't. Hard to tell at this point, but soft vinyl isn't really known for being highly mobile, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're not adjustable. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I think it will have movement, just like the Gunhead does. I wouldn't expect fully bendable knees or anything... but movement isn't really the monsters strong point. I bet the arms and canons will move. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 You can see seems and sculpt for articulation in the arms. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Would it be around this size? This was the one at the MWcon, yes? Chunky Monkey next to it. 1/72 is large enough........anything larger and you're risking a sprained....ummmm.....wrist? Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I hope Bry http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40052&p=1104881 resume your project really want to see the monster in 1/60 scale. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40052 Edited October 21, 2014 by MILKAUTICO Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Ill probably get one to display all my destroids with. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I think I'll just keep working on my 1:200 scale model kit of it....This will just be to BIG and EXPENSIVE (probably) Quote
jvmacross Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Now all we need is for EXO to work on a 1/60 Spartan....MW calling EXO!.... Quote
kyekye Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Man, I followed the link expecting to see more news and new pics... one more pic and 'roughly 1/72' scale info. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 It would be really cool to have one to display next to a couple of VF-1's and other Destroids, especially looking at the pictures that wmkjr and jvmacross posted, but you guys are freaking me out with the talk about price and materials. -b.

Well, look at it this way....unless Arcadia announces a TV SDF-1....this will be the single biggest Macross expense you need to worry about in 2015!!! Quote

EXO Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 More shots via Twitter. Looks good for vinyl. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 hope they include the back plate that lowers when firing the cannons.... Quote
derex3592 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The Robotech Vinyl Battlepods looked great ---but there was basically NO movement to speak of. Basically static display pieces, but hey, the price was right! Quote
Major Tom Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 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/ Quote
Las Vegas Dad Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 This looks pretty good. I won't mind adding to the collection if the price isn't too high. Finding somewhere to display it is another thing, the wife may freak. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 This monster looks great we'll see what the price turns out to be Quote
Kanedas Bike 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/ And with that increase in scale comes an increase in price. -b.

Loop Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Man, I have been on the fence about this one since this thread popped up. The new pics and the scale info is starting to push me over though. The MK-II has been my favorite version of the Monster for years, I actually prefer it over the VB6 even though the VB6 can transform. Quote
McFly!!
