kyekye Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) I know..It's Kids Logic.. It won't be called Macross, It will be probably expensive and Their Cockpit speaker is horribly delayed + $450 shipping But hey, they are trying to make cool looking stuff based on Macross mechs. Gotta give them that. Here are 2 images from their Boss's facebook. 2 busts they are preparing for Hong Kong Toy Festival this weekend Edited June 14, 2018 by kyekye Quote
Lolicon Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Those look cool, like the Gundam Formania EX line. Wish it was more than just the head if it's going to be super expensive. https://hlj.com/product/BANN55001 Quote
DewPoint Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 The air brake looks a little small to me. Not too sure what I'd do with one. My display space is limited. Quote
seti88 Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Hmmm not too sure abt those neck pistons either. Nevertheless interesting to see KL's attempts to prototype concepts. Quote
chyll2 Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 imo, it worked great on gundam but looks really off for VF-1 Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 The VF-1S head looks a bit off with huge visor, and I think I like the one done by danbickell. Too bad it’s not completed. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Movie 1A head in TV colors. Interesting. 1/8 scale? That's pretty big. Quote
Lord_Of_Tetris Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Looks pretty cool! And....1/8 scale? Wouldn't that make these heads the size of one of those bouncy yoga balls you use for a chair? Quote
jenius Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Everything they make is way too big for my storage or display capacities. It's cool for those who have the room though the airbrake does seem small to me in proportion to the head. Quote
kyekye Posted June 14, 2018 Author Posted June 14, 2018 I hope they see this thread. Many valuable feedback here. Quote

chen Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 It says these will be 29cm tall so just under a 12". Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Eh.. not my cup of tea to begin with, but they need to stop making up panel lines and extra details that didn't exist on the original designs. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I'll be honest, depending on price I might go for the -1S head, if it's only ~12" tall. Quote
macsam Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 i am really liking the vf-1j and vf-1s preorder open already. wonder if it's going to be a 2018 release? kids logic has a history of lengthy wait time when it comes to product release Quote
mickyg Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) "Warning: Hot Air" on an air brake? Not sure that's all that logical. Certainly a cool looking sculpt but definitely not my kind of thing. Edited June 15, 2018 by mickyg Quote

kyekye Posted June 16, 2018 Author Posted June 16, 2018 new photos from HK toy convention, I think It says HK$1799, so I guess that's around USD$230 - ish? Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 If that’s how they scale the airbrake, I’ll like to see a cockpit with pilot above the plague instead. Quote

Certainly a cool looking sculpt but definitely not my kind of thing. Expand Yeah, that caught my eye too. The head units themselves look decent, but everything below that needs an overhaul. For a franchise that goes to such great lengths to mimic real world aircraft, it always just leaves me dumbfounded how much of a disconnect there is on items like these. There's more than enough source material to reference... Quote
Knight26 Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Interesting, and yes the Airbrake is far too small. Plus the VF-1D does not have an airbrake there. Quote

kyekye Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 LOL. Apparently this Veritech does! These cheap guys trying to squeeze more out of the same mold! Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I'll be honest, I still think it looks cool. Just not $230+shipping cool. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I still would like one.....current order of preference...maybe there will be a way to safely eliminate the goofy pistons... 1) -1J 2) -1S 3) -1A 4) -1D (looks the worst to me and would likey not buy any if this was the only one left to PO) Every interesting piece of Robotech stuff Kid Logic wants to sell should really be "half-sized"...at least Quote
seti88 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Will wait for a version that allows head to tilt forward and seat to be placed on neck, with a corresponding scaled pilot figure to be added on. too much to ask? Quote
