hal9000 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I can't wait for a entire Vermilion Squad of these, Plus Roy of course. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I'm not so interested in the fighter kit so much as I am in seeing how people mod this kit to be fully transformable. Might be heavy, but at that size you've got a ton of room for internal mechanisms too. Quote
kajnrig Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 If they (Max Factory) prioritize the fighter mode, then the proportions will be off just enough that it won't look quite right in Battroid mode. But seeing this thing in battroid mode is definitely of interest to me as well. Because c'mon. Of COURSE someone(s) is(/are) going to try and do it. Quote

Chronocidal Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I dunno actually, there will definitely be some proportional issues I'm sure (the nose in particular), but even Hasegawa's 1/48 kit could be mashed-up into a pretty decent battroid. I'm going to look forward to seeing what people do with this. I might even try to get one, depending on the price. I do wish it was molded in more sections though, even just modding it for super packs will require a ton of hacking into those single-piece legs.

True enough, and to be fair, all transforming renditions of the VF-1 look wonky in one form or another. I just prefer the way Hasegawa did it with the three separate kits, each emphasizing that particular mode's strengths. Quote
GMK Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Sweet mother of fu......! Jebus that thing is huge!!! Quote
seti88 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 honestly the most suitable place I can thk of that being placed, without obstruction, is hanging off the wall like a huge painting...otherwise it's gonna be a pain to avoid knocking into it and damaging something.. unless of course you put in a display case the size of a table for four...

spanner Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 I want this 1:20 scale Valkyrie but I've decided its still not big enough.. Quote
Xigfrid Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Who would ever want or think about a 1:20 valk seriously? There must be some crazy folks in Max Factory or someone there lost a bet. Quote
seti88 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) well its as big as a small table..but yeah it doesnt come close to filling the old aircaraft hangar shed out in the backyard... looks like someone wants to grab it and run/swoosh... Edited May 11, 2017 by seti88 Quote
jenius Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Yo Joe! We get to put our action figures in this thing right? Quote
seti88 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) GASP! i thk you possibly could!! The cockpit does look a tad bigger for regular 3.5(?) figs tho...but looks like at least they could fit in.. Edited May 11, 2017 by seti88 Quote
Big s Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 I kinda want it just for the awesome pilot figure Quote

electric indigo Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 You can also see the surface detail in the Last shot. The nose is still a bit long, isn't it? Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Extremely, really. It makes the 1/48th Yamato nose look pretty small by comparison. Still not liking the shape of the canopy either. Not a huge deal for me either way though. While I'm definitely curious about the pricing, I also know that I have absolutely no room to put something this big, assembled or not. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 True story sadly.. especially with the fiancé moving in in less than a month.... LOL Quote
antibiotictab Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Another Japanese forum member, Cancer107 went to the Hobby Show yesterday and took some pics. Hmm, I envy him because I don't plan to go there this year. He allow me to introduce them to MW. Thanks. And he asked the person who belongs to Max Factory about its price. He said it will be from 10,000 yen to 15,000 yen at a fixed price. Quote
electric indigo Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 The price is quite reasonable for the amount of plastic you get. Detail level is higher than I expected - you can see the AoA sensors at the nose in Cancer107's pics. Quote
GMK Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 This is the best profile shot, yet: http://p.twpl.jp/show/orig/sJj3z The nose actually looks pretty good here. Quote
