Is there something new about these?  The KC LV's have been out since December last year....a LV VF-1J...or at least a freebie  "head" unit....might be interesting...

I totally forgot they already released it. They displayed them today and various sites are labelling as new from Kitzconcept, and I fell for it. 

Apologies.

Does it have the dude?


Looking at the packaging, it appears  KC is releasing the Artillery Battlepods first, though it looks like all Battlepods will have same box art, with the Artillery ones having a sticker saying so.

Based on the ToysTV video posted in Kids Logic thread, the Zentraedi soldier is nowhere to be seen. So still in development..

Another info out of the video is that KC’s also considering bundling all 3 pods for a price of HKD 2000, although not sure if it includes the soldier.

One thing I noticed, is that all pods have the same tattoo & markings. If I remember, the normal pod is supposed to have different markings from the Artillery ones just like the HMR Regults.
KC’s initial pics on the product page show a difference between both, but now when I go back and look at the pages, they all now have the same tattoos. The missile packs will be the sole differentiating factor.

I think they’re really only supposed to have different markings for stuff like a unit number. Different “tattoos “ and things like gray legs and such were mostly box art or possibly for different fleets possibly. They didn’t have markings in the show, but occasionally had gray legs. So I’m not sure if that was just miscoloring, artistic fun or depicting something like a different fleet.

Hasegawa and Bandai bot have it where the unit number markings are different, but the tattoo markings are the same between the different variants, but they could be wrong.

Well I'm just basing it on the HMR Regults, where except for the Zentraedi insignia at the forehead, all the markings and tattoos are different between the 3 variants, so it makes each of them slightly more unique & interesting.

I think those are mostly just the number and unit markings. One thing that’s fun about the Hasegawa kits is that they come with a translation guide for zentraedi writing to English numbers and letters

The translation is cool and great to know. :good:

KC continue to be quite silent on the big question in everyone's minds.. where's the Zentraedi soldier?

The Pods look to have been produced, or at final stages of production, and it's clear the solider is still far from ready. KC must have been ruminating for some time the decision to either ship the Pod first and the soldier separately later on (thus eating extra shipping cost), or wait for the soldier to be ready & ship together as originally intended but that would entail more months of delay.  

I think it's likely KC will be separating the Pod from the Soldier as 2 individual pieces after this so they can get more sales of the Pod going first.

Did they put their Regult on a diet again?  Those legs seem like they are not as chunky once again....looks pretty good...and are they hinting at two separate figures to be included?  6 and 3 inch?  I'd be OK with that....

Wonder how they'll look like against Bandai's *cough* "non-scale" *cough* HMR VFs...

It's the one pic I was waiting for while scrolling down... but nadda...

At this point this is the only realistic option. KC must have tried hard to make it work with one figure, just like they tried with Dana.

Overall, I think Bandai’s hmr regult still looks slightly and really only very slightly better, but I like that this one hides the knee joints and it’s not bad at all honestly. They definitely improved it since the old pictures before the actual release. I just think it opens weird and is slightly wider in the body. I still think hasegawa is the best Regult

Yup at moment KC’s looks to be a great toy, much more so than their mainstay VF-1.

The Yamato 1/60 posted above by @Ignacio Ocamica really looks majestic. :wub:

I hope not as that would be pretty egregious....as you have indicated....several buyers got in on a PO based solely on the fig....

Hoping they are just keeping the reveal a secret until officially shipped....or at minimum the fig(s) will be shipped at a later date....

The listing on their site still says a Gluu-Ger is included...so no need to panic just yet....

Whether they include it or not, all the nails are already in the coffin for me after they asked for final payment with ZERO intention of actually shipping it upon payment.  Taking a preorder payment is one thing, but if you're asking for final payment, you darn well better be shipping it.  I don't pay for hopes and dreams.

You pre-paid for a KC product despite everything that has been said about KC releases since their merch first hit the market...by default you are paying for hopes and dreams...lol

Besides saying one will exist, can anyone remind me what hints we have about the pilot figure? Could they just send a fetal position figurine or did they promise more than that?

If I remember, it was an articulated figure and I think it was supposed to have the cloth and removable armor, but that part may have just been speculation on the prototype
