jvmacross Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I wonder if they are working in some capacity with KC? Would be disappointing if KC's figs would not be perfectly compatible...or is KL coming out with their own figure line? Quote
peter Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Is this new? I thought there was some sort of large scale cockpit with a speaker box attached to it or something? Quote

This is just a downsized version of the previously released 1/6 scale version.....so half the price? Quote

Porbably more than half. And not sure if that's accurate since it was being made by 2 different companies. But then again, this is Robotech. Edited February 25, 2020 by no3Ljm Quote
slide Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 **FACEPALM** This one has even MORE rivets than the KC one... sigh... 18 hours ago, no3Ljm said: Porbably more than half.

Knight26 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Makes me think of a line from my last book. "Who gave my baby an STD?" (He's talking about his old plane). Seriously though, have they even looked at the VF-1 and other contemporary aircraft, none have giant bulb rivets like that. Quote

Indeed, someone needs to tell them Flush rivets have been a thing since the 20's guys... this one looks even MORE lie it was designed in a soviet tank-factory... but it's an HG license, so that tracks.

Clearly this is from their alternate history 'SPACY 1946' series they have coming up. Quote

It's not like it's any harder to model them as flush rivets instead. I mean WTF? Quote
tekering Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 You guys clearly haven't worked with the visually impaired before... That's not rivets, it's Braille. A long, agonized scream written across the nosecone in Braille. Quote

derex3592 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 That's kinda what I was thinking, there's just TOO much going on with this thing visually for me. Quote
peter Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Yah, looks like a bad case of genital herpes. Also, it's what you get for having anything to do with HG. Quote

tekering Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Well, whaddaya know? It turns out the rivets weren't the most ridiculously absurd part of this product after all... The price is even more absurdly ridiculous. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 I would have liked if they included the nose of the VF-1. Quote
mcfly50 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Based on what I can tell of the pics/description, this doesn’t have a real LCD cockpit screen like the 1/6 version. That sound right to you guys? Quote

sh9000 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 I sent the link of this thread to the guy in charge of Kids Logic because he wanted to see the comments. He was thankful and said the information was useful to them so maybe some changes will be made to the final product. Quote
