ZorClone Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I know, I know, I KNOW it's not the right scale, but, I do really think the 1/60 VF and 1/??? Glaug look freakin awesome next to each other just as general mecha display. And I don't fancy myself a purist. Plus a 1/60 Glaug would be prohibitively large, lol. also, man that Prisma app is neat Quote
jenius Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) HMR Glaug is roughly 1/85. The old Matchbox toy is about 1/60. Edited August 2, 2016 by jenius Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 My Monster arrived in town today at 5am. My guess is I'll get it tomorrow but for the shipping cost it should come today with a police escort. Quote
mzhao3 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks jvmacross and ZorClone!!! Luckily, I was working from home today and able to dip out to and head to the post office. They had it there and I was able to bring it back. The delivery was also surprisingly really fast. I paid Thursday and got my package yesterday, a lot faster than the last couple deliveries I've received. This thing is epic!!!! Quote
AIRMAG Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 The HO scale works well with the Hi-Metal R line. HO is my favorite train model scale! Does anyone know if HO scale seated passengers would fit in the cockpit of the Monster? I was considering the Preiser HO Passenger line https://www.reynaulds.com/catalog/dept_342.aspx Quote
derex3592 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Hopefully getting mine today. Really hoping Bandai makes the joints TIGHT on this thing. My only complaint with the Regults and the Glaug are I feel like they are looser than they should be. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 My Monster arrived. Holy ****ing sh** it's freaking ginormous! Even the Koenig Monster looks puny and weak next to it! I'm suddenly driven by a desire to buy a second one... Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 WOWZERS...btw...mine should be arriving tomorrow. Anything y'all wanna see in the video review? Quote
Loop Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Hmm, mine has been out of customs for a bit but still has not moved. I guess I'll use a little patience, and wait it out. Quote
Jinyol Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Does anyone know if HO scale seated passengers would fit in the cockpit of the Monster? I was considering the Preiser HO Passenger line https://www.reynaulds.com/catalog/dept_342.aspx Well, HO scale are 1/87 scale and Hi-Metal VF-1 are approximately 1/88(I've been told). So, theoretically the should work. I can answer this more accurate when I get my MONSTER! On it's way. Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I got it! Although I wont be home till later till I can actually see it. Quote
jvmacross Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks jvmacross and ZorClone!!! Luckily, I was working from home today and able to dip out to and head to the post office.

Mechapilot77 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Koenig Monster feels sense of inadequacy, holy crap.... Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 WOWZERS...btw...mine should be arriving tomorrow. Anything y'all wanna see in the video review? Impress me with your review, give me every reason why I should order one! I got it! Although I wont be home till later till I can actually see it. Better post some pics of it! Quote
Tking22 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Hmm, mine has been out of customs for a bit but still has not moved. I guess I'll use a little patience, and wait it out. Who did you order from and what shipping method did you use? I ordered from AmiAmi and used EMS, my package has been sitting in customs since late Sunday, it just cleared customs and headed out of the sort facility in LA about an hour ago. I've found that everything I get shipped via EMS lately gets a slight delay in customs no matter the time of day or day of the week. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Grrrr....No Monster in TX today...sad face Quote
wmkjr Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Nice display case. I want to get a wide one like that someday. Quote
Jinyol Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) A Monster came to visit today... Well, I hope it stays! I would not let the Monster leave. I love the display case! Edited August 2, 2016 by Jinyol Quote
Loop Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Mine have come in today I took one of them out to fiddle around with and the thing is huge. The reason for the high angle on the monster was because I wanted to see the position it had to be in to actually use the stabilization plate in the rear. Quote
abbadon Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Awesome! Even the VF-1S seems to be in awe. Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 No time for picture today but I got one thing to say. IT FITS IN THE DETOLF! You have place it in an angle. The barrels will touch the side of the display case but it will fit inside. Quote
Convectuoso Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 jenius' site has good info. http://www.anymoon.com/blog/ Thanks a lot! Quote
jvmacross Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Bandai can get maybe 7 VF-1's from the amount of plastic used to make one Monster....sucker's big! Quote
technoblue Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 No time for picture today but I got one thing to say. IT FITS IN THE DETOLF! You have place it in an angle. The barrels will touch the side of the display case but it will fit inside. Well I'm impressed. How much space do you have for other figures like Valkyries and such? Or has that shelf become its own Monster shrine? Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 ... and still no one is brave enough to do a video review of the MONSTER! Quote
spanner Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 even though I bought one and its still in transit, I cant help but feel intense jealousy to those who have already received theirs! looks friggin amazing! I certainly hope it arrives before the weekend! Quote
Loop Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 ... and still no one is brave enough to do a video review of the MONSTER! Most people in the states are just starting to have them land, and I am not a video reviewer lol. Quote
jenius Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I'm hoping to shoot a video review this weekend... with any luck. Quote
Caetano Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Rhunter, that light may turn the plastic yellow. Just keep it turned on when you have visitors at home. Quote
spanner Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I'm hoping to shoot a video review this weekend... with any luck. now that im looking forward to! Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 ... and still no one is brave enough to do a video review of the MONSTER! Mine should be here by Thursday...I'll try to have one up by Friday night. Quote
