Hi, I'm fussy about scale consistency.

I bought a bunch of kitzconcept VFS on sale, thinking I could collect and build the other mecha with Hasegawa kits when I found time...

Turns out kitzconcept, Hasegawa, calibre wings, and Bandai "1/72" are ALL different scale! WHYYYY🙁

Kitzconcept is more like 1/65. I get they're fictional and no definitive references exist, but its so frustrating manufacturers don't clearly label the exact size of the things they sell. They sometimes list the size of the box which doesn't help.

Can anyone please post a pic of a plamax next to a Hasegawa, or tell me the total length please top to bottom?

So this is the first side-by-side with the Hasegawa that I see and the vertical chonkiness is interesting. The person is also using a old Bandai head on the PLAMAX

It is more than just the height.

The general proportions are going to be different depending on the interpretation of the 2-D artwork and how that translates to 3-D.

Hasegawa and Plamax are going to be different even though they're labeled as 1/72.
In proportions, designs, etc.

It's like how for example HGs and RGs are different even though they're both labeled 1/144 and of the same kit (e.g Hi nu, Nu, etc)

Just hoping that for the VF-1 kits that the put out a 1A for Max next to go with the fighter. It would be cool if it had Kakizaki options as well like the vermilion fighter.

Hlj has it in the front page, hobbysearch has it in their “Gundam Kits” section that oddly doesn’t have gundams anymore

Found it. Apparently the refresh button is a thing. Thanks.

That would require PLAMAX to tool a new nose, cockpit and canopy. Let's see if they are gonna do it :)

Expand  

The VF-1D battroid required new parts too, and they did it so.... fingers crossed?

Then again, Hasegawa never did a VF-1D battroid or 1/48 fighter despite doing a 1/72 fighter and gerwalk so who knows with these companies sometimes.

There’s PLAMAX CAD for the Armoured Battroid….so I’m hoping they solve the anime magic for the forward head tilted open for the armoured VF-1J like in SDFM.

Hope it comes out soon. I didn’t pick up the hasegawa, since it has a bit of an awkward look. I’m pretty sure the max factory one will last ok much better

A sliding pivot on the underside of the head . As it pivots forward it lifts.

I rigged something like that on my custom VF-1J Armored Valk:

Decal bullet holes. Lol. 
I'm glad to get the VF-1D , i was going to cancel my pre order for the VF-1S but now i think the 1D needs a buddy to pose with.

My friend took this pic at the show. Looks like Plamax is getting into the S-Valks. It's new to me. I probably haven't been following this as closely as you guys.

The fighter shown is already up for preorder. It looks like the packs are all on a different runner along with some expected new parts for the legs and folded backpack. Makes it a step closer to gerwalk.

Would love to get the 1S Battroid... not even going to go into why I can't. :( Maybe someday...

Expand  

Someday maybe sooner than you think. Just gotta keep those fingers crossed. their battroid kit for the 1j is really great and very simple. Not much to complain about. Simple design, well hidden seams and great articulation

Just got the 1a fighter and now to get the battroid. Now I need a 1/72 Queadluun Rau tv version for the epic battle scene 

Expand  

That would be interesting to see their version of the Quead.

I’m not sure if they’d do it or Hasegawa, but it would be interesting if the tv version was handled by Plamax. Either way, I think it would be a great kit since both companies are doing good stuff these days
