Jefuemon Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I am not very good in PSD.... Just tweeted it, and linked back to your blog, 'cause it's just too pretty not to. Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) [align=left]Cosmo Fleet SP【超時空要塞 MACROSS】SDF-1 MACROSS[/align] [align=left]not bad for such a small toy, If the Gundam ships are as bigger as this I will be very happy~[/align]http://gundamatefsf.blogspot.hk/2016/04/cosmo-fleet-sp-macrosssdf-1-macross.html [align=left][align=center][/align][/align] [align=left][align=center][/align][/align] [align=left][align=center][/align][/align] [align=left][float=left][/float][/align] [align=center][align=center][float=left][/float][/align][/align] [align=left][align=center][/align][/align] [align=left][align=center][/align][/align] Ok guys! It's here and it's sweeeet! Ankle pivot.. yes! carrier arms.. fully adjustable and tight joints! Here's some out of the box pics! Yes it can. In the meantime here are some attacker mode pics. Sorry if they are sideways. Antennas in Attacker mode might need a drop of glue. Solid little toy. All joints are tight and paint apps are good. Lots of detail. I'm happy. The rail guns do pop off.. just FYI The stand works well too. I am not very good in PSD.... Great pics guys! Now I'm contemplating to get another one before I shipped my loot from HLJ.

hal9000 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) A few quick photos and a comparison shot with the old WHAM SDF. I love this little guy so glad I got two. Edited April 4, 2016 by hal9000 Quote
Major Focker Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 so, roughly in scale with WHAM (1:5000). nice. Quote
jenius Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I think the attacker mode is mistransformed at the cannons making it look taller though I can't tell if the same thing is happening to both the Mega House and the WHAM. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I think both of them are mistransformed the same way. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 It's a rule---the simpler the transformation, the more likely it is to get wrong. Quote
hal9000 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Whoops, yah I forgot to move the cannons back on both of them. Sorry about that the wave has been in my case for years.... With the cannons wrong. 😝 Quote
treatment Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 dagnabbit! Just paid mine from ami. Should've paid last week instead to save a couple of dollars or so. Thought the exchange-rate will improve by today. It keeps tanking down, instead. Oh, well. I get SDF1-TV in two weeks. Wonder if MH will do the DYRL-version, too. It would be totally sweet if they do. Quote
sharky Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) This photo is starting to get me hooked on the Cosmo Fleet ships. Edited April 5, 2016 by sharky Quote
derex3592 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Took me a minute as well to figure out the cannons can hinge back like they should in attacker mode. I am just loving this thing though! it is just the right size to pick it up and swosh around the room. I appreciate the level of detail on it. Hoping for more Macross ships in this line! The only slight nitpick I have is the one exposed screw head on the side of the carrier! Wasn't there in the prototype pics, gonna try to make a small cover somehow.

mickyg Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah, that screw is massively noticeable. I was hoping to get mine today, even though it only shipped on Saturday, but apparently it took 3 days for the shipment to be sent from Tokyo and be scanned as "arrived" in Melbourne.

F360 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 A few quick photos and a comparison shot with the old WHAM SDF. I love this little guy so glad I got two. url] Thanks for those comparisons pics, do you by chance have 1 with both of them cruiser mode? Quote
hal9000 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks for those comparisons pics, do you by chance have 1 with both of them cruiser mode? I don't but I can take and post one tonight. Quote
spanner Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah, that screw is massively noticeable. I was hoping to get mine today, even though it only shipped on Saturday, but apparently it took 3 days for the shipment to be sent from Tokyo and be scanned as "arrived" in Melbourne. mine was on board for delivery for Monday but due to the continuing incompetency of Australia Post who attempted delivery to the incorrect location then blamed HLJ for putting the incorrect delivery address which somehow seems to have miraculously corrected itself and is now meant to be delivered tomorrow which im not holding my breath to and to be honest who knows when it will arrive as not even their customer support could tell me which sorting facility the parcel is actually at as they didn't even know themselves.. I would have had this bloody thing already but once again I have to put up with the usual crap and excuses from what has to be one of the worst mail delivery companies I so painfully have no choice but to use.. yes im having a rant cos I need to vent my frustration as this is rapidly becoming a regular occurrence.

Mommar Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I probably should have got a second one so I could do a setup like this too... Can the bow separate like the ONE time it fired the main cannon in cruiser mode? Edited April 5, 2016 by Mommar Quote
hal9000 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I'm not sure but I will give it a try tonight and post a pic. Quote
Hikaru1234567890 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Now I need to find that effects part. Well then you better Buy the Robot Damashii Nu Gundam or the MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka. expansion kit then! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 so i don't have any of the comparison shot models/toys....anyone measure this thing...to the top of the head (not the cannons please)? mine still in private warehouse....maybe i should get a second one. hmm Quote
eriku Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Can't wait for mine to get here. In all my decades of buying Macross toys this will be my first TV SDF-1. I'm glad it seems to have turned out really well. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 so i don't have any of the comparison shot models/toys....anyone measure this thing...to the top of the head (not the cannons please)? mine still in private warehouse....maybe i should get a second one. hmm I don't have mine yet. But based on this toy specs from the stores, it says the figure is 20cm in Attack and Cruiser mode. So I cropped the Attack mode side view image up to the head and it gave me 13.34cm. That's the tip of the head and not the tip of the head antennas. Quote
spanner Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Yes!!! finally arrived! lovely little thing! very impressed and pleased with my purchase! Even though there is a small element of "partsforming" involved, its only minor and im leaving the thing in cruiser mode anyways so I don't particularly care! Might buy a 2nd one to display in attack mode! Oh and just as thought and expected, the delivery details on the EMS label were indeed 100% correct.. sh!ts me that Australia Post felt they had to lie to me rather than be honest and just say that they screwed up. Chewed them out over the phone about it after just for some personal satisfaction. Hopefully they actually absorb the feedback.. Quote
mickyg Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Can't wait to get mine! It's been on the truck for delivery since 7am this morning, in a smallish suburb. It's now nearly 3pm... Quote

Like does it really warrant a second copy to pose both modes? Still contemplating if I really need to buy another one. Hehehe. Besides, I need to start saving again. Orguss II Olson release is just around the corner. Edited April 6, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
mickyg Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Australia Post strikes again.. It just arrived 10 minutes ago! Haven't opened it yet but first impressions are: It's smaller than I expected but that's not a bad thing It looks like the panel lines have been colored in It's got a lot of very nice detail Can't wait to display it! Quote

Still contemplating if I really need to buy another one. Hehehe. Besides, I need to start saving again. Orguss II Olson release is just around the corner. Yes I definitely think so! Im more than sure than that I'll get a second one! So whats my take?? Yes im very impressed by it! I had my concerns due to its small size and realtively cheap price but they are very nicely detailed and being a smaller size means they won't take up a huge amount of display space. I also need to save up for it as being off work sick doesn't bring in the regular amount of cash I normally do.. It just arrived 10 minutes ago! Haven't opened it yet but first impressions are: It's smaller than I expected but that's not a bad thing It looks like the panel lines have been colored in It's got a lot of very nice detail Can't wait to display it! yes on all counts! The small size worked out very good as it meant I didn't need to perform a major display shuffle in order to fit it in! Just slid one of the VF-1 toys slightly over and vuala she fit! The HMR Monster on the other hand is going to present a real problem.. Hmmm in some spots it does look like the panel lining has been darkened slightly but its kinda hard to tell or it could be that light isn't getting in making them look darker than they actually are. Either way im not fussed. Yes it does have lots of nice detailing! That was one of the initial concerns being such a small toy but thankfully they have done a nice job in that department! I had to get mine on display asap and it looks fantastic doing so! Happy days! Quote
Mommar Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 I'm definitely looking to buy a second so I can pose one in each mode. Even still, those damn little antenna don't want to stay in on either of my hulls. I will say, given that it's a parts former, I feel like they could have included more parts of get the proportions better between the two modes. As it is the arms are too thin, the legs are too stubby and the central hull is too thick. Quote
