sh9000 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) https://kitzconcept.hk/1-12-action-figures-series-lynn-minmei-preorder-126.html Rick Hunter preorder listing is up although the link says lynn minmei. It’s a different link than the Lynn Minmei figure. $44.90 shipped with an estimated available date of November. Edited June 15, 2018 by sh9000
sh9000 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Preordered 1 Rick Hunter. I might end up getting doubles of all their releases.
Roy Focker Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Ordered one. Just to evaluate it. I'm like 60% for it based on appearance alone. That's enough to pass on it but I do like the scale. Maybe it will look better in person. If they make more that do look better in preview pics then I won't have to hunt for this one. I did pass on Minmay as I really don't like that green and yellow dress.

It means I find their site admin's inability to list a product for sale under the correct product name hilarious. I considered elaborating at the time, but opted against it. I don't recall why, but if I had to guess, I was posting from my cellphone/pocket PC and ran out of patience with the touch screen. Hadn't have even noticed the downvote. I only pay attention to the vote corner so I can upvote any posts I see downvoted*. I think this red arrow was just a lack of appreciation for my bizarre and off-kilter sense of humor. *To clarify the logic there: Most use of the downvote system I've seen appears to be a small and petty form of harassment, as someone runs through and carpet-bombs an entire page of posts, or every post one person makes, with red arrows for no discernible reason. I feel a green arrow on every red arrow to be a suitably small and petty response. I also kind of think the downvote system is a fundamentally bad idea that INVITES anonymous harassment, so undermining the entire system is a win in my book.
tekering Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 As long as it's anonymous, up- and downvoting is meaningless. And while we're on the subject of sites unable to list a product for sale under the correct product name, Amazon.jp is the nadir. Their translation algorithm mangles virtually every product description. Apparently, the "Notebook Theatre Version" is easy to find.
Dynaman Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 That is hilarious. "Loss of Love..." I think I know how Clash of the Bionoids translation was done.
jvmacross Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 In case anyone was interested in the KC SD VF-1S Roy......$70.20 plus S&H https://robotech.com/store/product/super-deformed-vf-1s-roy-with-fastpack-bundle No sign of it on KC's site just yet....

jenius Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Super7 seems like a nostalgia company... all the products are throwbacks to 80s products (and not the great ones). The Re(Action) Line looks like throwback Takatoku Vinyl figures. They're obviously not trying to be perfect replicas, just sort of capturing that spirit.
jvmacross Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Takatoku never did a vinyl SDF-1....so may still get that one....but now that I think about it...they never did a -1A soldier or a VF-1D.....so maybe I'll pick one up for comparison....

Dynaman Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Glasses with pictures on them have been around forever, so no fair saying anyone ripped them off - just about any you have seen is a ripoff from way back. What I'm really here to say is that Breetai has a Scooby Doo vibe going, kinda reminds me of a Shaggy expression.

JB0 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 That ... is a REALLY blonde Rick Hunter. Did he go super saiyan in a Robotech I missed?

Intentionally crappy figures are still crappy figures. I can't even imagine how Super7 manages to get all these licenses...

arbit Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I'm all in. The Rick figure looks pretty much perfect to me. Minmei is only so-so: I think they could have done better with the face and shoes. But overall, these are a dream come *almost* true... And soooo much better than the Toynamis.
derex3592 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 As a bigger stocky guy -- I want a properly sized "Ben" to go with all the other skinny Ricks/Roy's and Max's for a change! #justiceforKakizachi!
