farcall Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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?

The person is also using a old Bandai head on the PLAMAX Posted back on Page 14 of this thread. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if they are gonna do it 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.

When the 1J came out as a battroid, there wasn’t a 1J fighter either. I’m just curious if they’re gonna do gerwalk with these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 52 minutes ago, GMK said: Here we go! VF-1A Battroids.

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. 5 hours ago, pengbuzz said: Would love to get the 1S Battroid... not even going to go into why I can't. Maybe someday... 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
