Xigfrid Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Last time I spoke with Fext hobby they said they have the Sci-Fi 2nd version coming soon, and to my understanding it would be a different set than the "Starwars" one. Any idea when it would be available ? Quote

jenius Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Man, I wish they didn't put a blank one in there... I can't imagine that's a set up many people will use. Quote

I think they went with the blank VF-1 because the white armor was the first test print to be fitted onto the VF-1 and test fitting parts could damage the paint. The grey armor was printed after the white one, I am assuming they made revisions when printing the grey version so better tolerances to not damage the paint on the VF-1J.

I believe that that they still haven't met the 600 pre-orders requirement to make the 1/60 Thunder Hummer Armoured Set. @Saburo: Any further details that you might want to add since your working with Fext Hobby to get exposure on this project? Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I hope they make a 1/100 version of the 1/60 Set E color scheme. Quote

jvmacross Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) They should just combine A/B and C/D and either drop E or make it a one-off with all possible weapons and armor.....maybe they would get their pre-orders if customers/fans felt they were get more for their money. Nahhhh!!! Edited February 3, 2019 by jvmacross Quote

Nahhhh!!! Totally agree with this. Even though I’ve mentioned my dislike of the milking they do, I still try to support and promote them but it is pretty clear most fans that know about this are not biting. Quote

Saburo Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I have been waiting a for a while but I can finally tell you about the New FEXT SCI-FI 03 display unit. This was a design collaboration between myself and Fext Hobby, I designed it to be usable for various sized figures/mecha, it can be a display/diorama or as photobooth. Here are pics from FEXT Hobby/FEXT System. More information is coming. The pic below was taken by MIng Leung on FB. Edited February 15, 2019 by Saburo Quote
Saburo Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Just now, Roy Focker said: Does it fit in an IKEA Detolf? Yes, that will fit in a Detolf shelf. Quote
Slave IV Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Really cool. They should make some accessories to add to these sets like the translucent dividers in the original custom set @Saburo has. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Skipped the original SciFi set. This one I'm in for though. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Very nice. I like that it’s plug and play. I have a bunch of the msg chain bases which are nice but I feel like you have to paint them to reach their full potential. The printing on these adds a lot of depth.
