derex3592 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Still crickets from BBTS over here...I'm just gonna be waitin on ole Rick to show up I guess....
vlenhoff Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) LOL the guns! Sorry, I know he is a badass, it is just funny! I think Rick's scale is amazingly close to perfect. Edited August 31, 2019 by vlenhoff

troyness Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I can't tell, is there ankle pivot on Rick?
teckno viking Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Mine arrives on Tuesday After having pay a customs charge :/ Only reason annoyed at the customs charge is due to the push backs on this figures release. Still Tuesday be in Hand. Till then, What's he like compared to the Sentinels Riobot Mospeada figures? Anyone know if they plan a COCKPIT piece for the 1/12 Macross pilots? Now that Would be nice to see.
vlenhoff Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I think the sculpt is a lil' tiny bit too skinny. Cool figure though. Is everyone satisfied with their 1/72 example? Would you get the whole line? Thanks in advance.

teckno viking Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Well I asked what their plans are for the following:- 1/ Making a Scale Cockpit for Pilot 1/12 figures to fit. Bridge sections if Crew Bunnies and Captain are popular. As modular diorama parts. 2/ Plans to make figures from Robotech other 2 lines aka Southern Cross and Mospeada. 3, Plans for Vehicles from any of the Three segments of "Robotech". Just Got this Reply from them. " 1. Thank you for your suggestion. If the figures sell well, it will justify us to have the Diomara display. 2. Yes, we are going to have figures of the other two generations later. 3. We would like to have vehicles, but we haven't fixed our plan yet. Thank you for your support! Regards, MY" Sounds like boils down to popularity and Then Possibly we may see Much more. Well here's hoping.
vlenhoff Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I saw a video about the Rick figure, and I can see why some think he is too tall. I hope they make Roy properly taller. This figure is growing on me.

He's only too tall because the ankle joints aren't properly imbedded in the legs. And that's an easy fix: Just Dremel the pant legs hollow to a depth of about a centimeter, and drill a new hole for the peg of the ball joint to fit into. Now he's the perfect height.

Outstanding (thanks also for the Riobot with him) and simple Mod. Still keeps full range of whatever articulation they gave him? Will do that mod tomorrow as soon as he lands.
mechaninac Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 THAT is a fantastic, simple fix, and makes a world of difference to its ability to display with same-scale figures. I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I listen to takering. Thanks dude! I was really hating this figure.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Great mod tekering!!! Will do the same when mine arrives.
Convectuoso Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 What Dremel tool did you use, @tekering?

Got mine today and Damn nice indeed. Love the helmet and that drop down visor, total surprise. The colour tone on the rifle is pretty good. Surprised how much stuff in the box even though I knew already what to expect lol Figure reminds me of figma/revol with those joints. The helmet is amazing. They did a fantastic job there. KC did a great job
ps99042 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Didn't expect to be buying this random piece this morning but the free T-shirt sold me haha.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 What?? Another repaint before Hikaru's 1J??

If the visor has a stobbing LED that traced back and forth, it'd be the KITT paint scheme. "A shadowy flight into the world of paint scheme that never existed":
Kuma Style Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Have the vf-1s black and red in hand and it's pretty. Hoping add ons come down the line.

jenius Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I grabbed one, I'm loving these schemes even if the toy hasn't completely wowed me.
jvmacross Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Seems like an homage to the old Takatoku custom...order placed!
jvmacross Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Once they get to the VF-1J....there should be no reason not to expect a "Mass Production" repaint....VF-1A repaints could get crazy....hopefully they do a VF-1D

Umm, am I the only one who sees this paint scheme and is reminded of the so-called Stealth color scheme from the Robotech: Battlecry video game?
