It's the other way around, guys. Use the sidearm and these figures to be part of your next year's cosplay or Halloween Costume as a Zentraedi. Right?

technoblue Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 To me, the close-up of Max looks better than the group shot. I'm really into the new character reveals, and can't wait to see Dana/Jeanne wearing her armour too. The Valkyries look nice. If Kitz Concept gets to the TV Valkyries that I've been waiting on (Rick, Max, and Ben) before Bandai or Arcadia, then they'll have me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm gonna try and pick up Rick, Max, Roy, Ben (if they make him), and ANY enemies will be welcome along with Dana and others from the Southern Cross part of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the removable nose cone has details not seen before in a toy. Also, the cockpit area looks really detailed up. I think I am looking forward to this more so than the Bandai DX-1J. Just hope it doesn't come with a built-in shelf-life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfly50 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 This looks to be the finest ROBOTECH licensed VF-1 ever made. That being said, I’m disappointed it didn’t include an integrated heat shield. I know, HMR’s don’t either, but I thought the size would have made it possible. Hopefully the build quality is there overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyNever Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Kind of unfortunate on the timing of the 1/72 scale. Two or three years ago I would have been very interested. It's a little late to market, now, though. I'm still interested in some of the 1/12 figures, especially Hikaru and Misa. I mean... Rick and Lisa...

SuperDimensionalDave Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Wow....To think 30 some odd years later I can finally have some real action figures from SDC Southern Cross instead of using the old Arii model kits from my childhood as fragile stand ins.

505thAirborne Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Make a Hovertank to go with Dana and we have a deal Kitz Concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDimensionalDave Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I’m assuming licensing being an issue that KC can only make Robuttech toys and would hence be limited to characters from that hodgepodge series but if there’s a way they can dip into Macross kosher I neeeeed them to make a DYRL Millia in her Q Rau pilot suit. My 1/60 Q-Rau needs to finally have a real pilot figure and not the figure shaped plug it comes with. Nor the non poseable CMS with disintegrating hair. Let’s see some Mospeada civilian outfitted figures also to go with our Sentinel Riobots. Meow.

Roy Focker Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Not that impressed by their VF-1. Maybe because there's already like a hundred companies that already made it. Hardly anybody makes figures and these prototypes look very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Please make Miriya to go with Max. I don’t mind if they release supporting characters of Macross Saga as well. A 1/12 Hovertank and Q-Rau would be huge and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darotower Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Personally I'm glad for the fully articulated characters figures and I would like to buy all of them. I have several VF-1's in my collection and probably I will pick up just one (VF-1S). I've already started with the Minmei figure 1/12 scale and it's really nice!

eggy99 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm still concerned that all guardian mode displays have the wings swept back behind the shoulders. It's as if there is not enough clearance between the wings and shoulders, so they just can't be spread wide in guardian mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I wish the realities of manufacturing toys would allow a company like this to do a small batch run of a less popular paint scheme to work out all the kinks. That way, the first VF-1 paint scheme would always be something like an Alaska Base or Hayao or something, only the super diehards would buy it and give feedback, and then the Fokker or Hunter could follow a few months later with all the tweaks employed.

Maybe Arcadia could have done that, releasing their MZ23 kickstarter stuff first, and then putting in the corrections to their main line. (I just noticed that their character figure for the kickstarter seems to just be a repaint of their GFP line of figures... which also haven't come out yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that batch 1 of the VF-1S Fokker, released 12/14, was distributed only to folks in Hong Kong. They have delayed the larger distribution a few weeks to make a change of some sort. What they can possibly change in a few week delay, I have no idea... unless it's an issue with the packaging or instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
