Mommar Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well, that's interesting. Apparently Fext didn't get around to e-mailing me until today. But my 102F and 202 have been in the mail since the 3rd. Checking tracking they'll be on my doorstep today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) I’m pretty sure we are not looking at the atmosphere booster that we know for years. Edited August 9, 2018 by Vi-RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinzoku VF Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Supa Quick pic of the one I received this morning . Materials are top notch, paint apps spot on etc etc. Only gripe, the 4 tiny pegs that hold the 2 parts of the forearm amor together. They are really small. I haven't snapped anything, but just be careful when separating them. Overall, really impressed by the quality and sculpt. Loking forward to the 1/60 Ver..

Do we have more detailed line art that we can provide to them? At least something that they can use if they reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurius Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 FEXTHOBBY has said that OWL 2 will NOT merely a booster. Cant wait to see what else it is!!!

sh9000 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 My Armors should be coming in today. The booster looks cool but they said that they don’t plan on making it look like the line art. They’re making their own interpretation of it. They also are looking into making the launch vehicle. I want a booster from SDFM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Glad to hear the positive feedback on this so far. Anyone care to compare this to the official armor? How is the fit and finish in comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a booster from SDFM. That's too bad....I will probably take a pass on any future line-art "inspired" stuff ....will see what their launch vehicle looks like...might be a nice stand for HMRs..... The pic of the proto looks like it has missile pods that slide out and landing gear....just not liking what I am seeing so far....seems they do not want to anger BW or HG??? Wonder what the legal issues would be if they simply acquired a HG license for "Robotech" to make accessories for the BW licensed HMR? Because I certainly would not want any accessories for the Toynami VF-1!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'll probably get a booster, especially if it ends up looking good in the final version and the extras are desirable. I don't care about slavish line art accuracy for an accessory like this or in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm in. The updated look and added gimmicks are no bother to me. If we ever get an official line-art accurate one from Bandai, I'll pick that one up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurius Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 This is a third party, making high quality products for Transformers, and now some for the Macross too. They have to put their own twist into it, not just follow the lineart 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 000 set and I'm very impressed overall with the fit, finish and plastic quality - pretty much on par with the official armor sets from Bandai, maybe slightly better plastic than Bandai but a slightly less refined overall finish. Those pegs you mentioned are my only concern - so tiny! That's all just observations on the set itself, I haven't attached it to an HMR yet (don't currently have one, but Messer is en route) so I can't comment on its functionality. My only complaint is something that's my own fault...I didn't pay close enough attention and was unaware of the fact that the sets don't all come with the same parts, so I was bummed to see empty spaces in the tray for the shields and strike cannons. I thought I got an incomplete set until I checked the FEXT site again and realized the only thing missing was part of my brain. Derp. So far I'm very much ready to preorder the 1/60 armor and, hopefully if they have success, a 1/48 set for the Bandai DX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It looks like the booster parts will attach like super parts and can probably be worn in Battroid mode. There’s a shield right there. This is still not their final version so I’ll see what changes they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I really need to get a Brownie VF-1A to go with this other pair of armor. Probably a second to slap on those booster parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
