derex3592 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Yes, stripes should be blue, but hopefully that's just a prototype, regardless, I'm all in on this line of figs if RH turns out decent.
SuperHobo Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hmmm I still need to get that Minmay one of these days.
sh9000 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Preordered 2 Lisa Hayes figures with 10% off and free express shipping.
technoblue Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hm. I believe Mikimoto’s art is inconclusive when it comes to the color of those pin stripes. Sometimes they’re blue but other times they lean more to turquoise. A quick google search found this shrine: http://ryougabot.tripod.com/mikimoto.htm

Will probably do the same for Roy when he appears and Claudia. If KC plans to give us Minmay in a different outfit, I'll bite on that one for my "second" copy. Curious about all the Rick/Hikaru delays, but hoping that KC is simply putting a final polish on the figure and working out last minute tweaks.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hikaru/Rick is looking good, I'm all in with this line. Said I wouldn't but finally got Minmei and then proerdered Hikaru.
sh9000 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 This is their older pic of Rick Hunter. Looks like some changes to the sculpt and joints.
jvmacross Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Looking like this may become the.....Best. Macross. Figure. Line. Ever. PO's placed. Bring on the rest KC!
jvmacross Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Has anyone found out which HK wholesaler is carrying the Dark Gold VF-1S?
Dynaman Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Quite the slit on the side of Lisa's skirt there. I think they mistook the line edging for a slit when making the figure.

technoblue Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks for posting the new pic, @Ignacio Ocamica! I like what KC did to Hikaru's waist. Moving the "buckle" detail on the flight suit so that it sits below the seam should help articulation. The lower legs look to have a slightly different mold too. I wonder if that means the feet will be able to rock left to right? I'm really looking forward to the final retail release.

I think they mistook the line edging for a slit when making the figure. I suspect it's a change made so that the figure can actually pose. If they had a hard-plastic pencil skirt, then essentially the only leg articulation would be at the knee and feet, plus waist bend. Either way, it looks pretty good, and I ordered one since Misa>>Minmei, and it's much harder to find figures of Misa.

Yes, those changes make the figure more dynamic looking, and also better articulated.
jvmacross Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Lots of the Black Gold Limited KC VF-1S showing up on eBay....anyone know the MSRP? Seems the ebay sellers are wanting around 165 shipped.
jenius Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 I assume it's the same as the regular release, just limited distribution (so $99.99-$129.99). The eBay listings all refer to it as a preorder also so I'm guessing it made its appearance at a show but seems it won't be shipping until late July or early August. I think I may be waiting till the listings start boasting they have them in hand.

Dobber Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 So if enough of us want something like this, maybe we could contact BBTS to commission their own custom? Something different obviously but if KC is making customs for another shop is that a possibility? Chris

I would want an Alaska Base or Cavaliers....Or a VF-1A TV Max and Ben set.

First we’d have to agree an a design we like the maybe make a standard letter/petition we could sign and send to BBTS. Any interest guys? Chris
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 So when I inquired about who the distributor of the KC gold VF-1S was from.. This is the response I got. Our wholesaler is Animie-Pro in HK. Thank you MY

Chris I really dig this idea but I think the big question is, what would the BBTS exclusive look like? The KC collectible line could turn into an Internet scavenger hunt with several schemes being certain shop exclusives. "You could only get Ben at Robotech.com, Max at BBTS, and Alaska Guard and Angelbirds from the KC online shop..."
jvmacross Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) KC certainly had several SD "exclusives".....I cannot see them not releasing every version they released as SD....namely the Ben and Max -1A's.... So far we know they are planning on (and so far it seems just TV): Max Super VF-1J Miriya Super VF-1J VF-1A Brownie VF-1J Rick (coming soon) GBP TV Super Parts (released) VF-1S Focker (released) To get to Yamato levels they would need.... VF-1A Max VF-1A Ben VF-1D VF-1D VR VF-1A Angel Birds VF-1A Cavaliers VF-1J Commander Type Destroid Tomahawk Destroid Defender To surpass Yamato... VF-1A Alaska Base Destroid Spartan Destroid Phalanx Destroid Monster To reach epic status....heck, I'd give them epic status for these even if they never got to several of the other VF-1's!

I’ll see if I can come up with something. Probably, needs to be relatively simple, similar to existing schemes. Also nothing that has already been done or published to avoid having to pay royalties ect. Or use in show schemes like you mentioned ie. Ben, Max ect. Chris Edited June 18, 2019 by Dobber
