Gatsu Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Had anybody noticed that the vf-1j in the last picture you posted looks with a better design than the vf-1s? Like a ver 2.0
no3Ljm Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Hope they will also tackle Robotech: The Next Generation lead figures in their civilian clothes. So we can use it with our Sentinel bikes.
DYRL VF-1S Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Just picked up good 'ole Rick Hunter thanks to all you enablers; especially @Slave IV. I've been traveling in Europe this week so it's waiting for me when I get home. I've been getting the jones for Macross/Robotech so this line will suffice for now. Hopefully it doesn't suck me in cuz then I'll need the others damnit

Now, I want to know if Dana’s Armor actually fits over the basic figure or if it’s two separate figures.
derex3592 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I'm all in for some Dana and Southern Cross figs along with New Gen civilian garb!

Big s Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I wasn’t super excited about the figures, until I saw that teaser with the armor. Southern Cross armor is some of my absolute favorites. Hopefully they also do the beetle butt bad guys.

DYRL VF-1S Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Well I thought I would try another Valk from KC. These will be the only two I own. Wanna know why there are no TV missiles? They don’t for. None of them. And it caused my to break one of the connecting points on the wing. Had to super glue it back as well as a thruster. Lame. However, Rick is really well done as a 12” figure. Gonna mess with that some more. That will go in a case.
jeniusornome Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 @DYRL VF-1S yeah I’ve got the black and red 1S and I like it well enough, but some pictures recently of their 1J make it look like they’ve already done some revisions to the design. Hoping to see some improvement there in a few spots I found troublesome (mainly the hip joint connector feeling flimsy, and the head antennae being stiff to the point of breaking). considering what Robotech fans had as official merchandise before they’re leaps ahead, but they need a little work to close in on Arcadia. I think they can get there with a few tweaks.
jeniusornome Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Man that’s a bummer, but honestly, good on them for keeping the updates coming and being up front about it. really interested to see if this 1J is a revised design like some recent pictures seem to indicate.
twich Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Yes, new updates without a significant increase in price will garner more business for them. Wonder if we will see a flood of factory seconds bootlegs due to the large quantity that didn’t meet QC Twich
mechaninac Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 That looks fantastic! One more must buy from KC. Now, when do preorders start?
Mommar Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 People talk about the lack of appetite for Southern Cross products but as far as I'm concerned I'm all in. I've always loved the armor designs.
Roy Focker Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Just one figure with swap out armor parts instead of two figures? Okay this looks cool.
jenius Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I wish they'd lay off the rivets. Edited January 22, 2020 by jenius
Mazinger Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 5 minutes ago, jenius said: I wish they'd lay off the rivets. I have a thing about rivets and indeed even panel lines. I think they show up too exaggerated when easily visible because if we blew up that item to 100% scale, they've be just gaps that would affect the airframe. That pic above just screams this. In reality if we shrunk an F-14 down to 1/100, I doubt we'd see panel lines of the cockpit assembly anywhere near as easily as we see in that VF-1 pic.
Knight26 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Are those rivets raised? No modern aircraft has raised rivets. At most you will have flush rivets. Wow, that takes something that looked pretty cool to looking like it has herpes.

They should probably blew up a Hasegawa kit so it will have subtle panel lines and rivets rather than shrink the recent 1/6 cockpit speaker. 19 minutes ago, Knight26 said: Are those rivets raised?

Well, VF-1 is still kind of based on an 'older' fighter jet -- F-14. But for sure back then, those are considered 'modern'. Hahaha! Just playin'. Anyways, at the scale, does it comes with speakers?

Big s Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 The Southern Cross action figure line is gonna be great. The only thing I’m worried about is hip movement. Recent gelgoog kits from Bandai have some interesting solutions to odd waist armor, so I’m wondering if they could take hints from that. The prototype pics so far just look solid at the hip armor even though it appears to be jointed underneath. If they could get that sorted a hover bike would be a cool accessory or at least separate buy.
Slave IV Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Ah, I was right that it was removable Armor. Cool!
