sh9000 Posted Sunday at 02:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:02 PM My 1/72 scale Battlepod arrived yesterday and I'll be picking it up today. I hope KC finishes up the Zentraedi figures and ships them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoebarry Posted Sunday at 02:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:32 PM I got mine yesterday too. I think though I may just put it up for sale on the site here. Anyone interested keep an eye out for a post in the FOR SALE thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted Monday at 05:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:38 PM It's odd, I could have sworn I saw a scale chart where the vf-1 actually comes all the way up to the "eye" of the regult. If that's accurate, then the 3 zero seems to be best scaled to the KC regult. That being said I do think the 1/72 stuff does look more right. I think hmr scales best with the hmr regult rather than this one but everyone has their own "head canon" for what's "right" or 'wrong".

It doesn't help when the "official" measurements do not coincide with the art from the original creators... Personally....in universe....it makes no sense to have spent all the time and money to develop a "battroid" that was only going to be the same size as the potential alien invaders...

Yeah, it presents problems for potential smoke breaks and sharing jackets. in actual scale, the vf-1 pilot would be getting asked for a light and he’d say something like “Here you go little guy” or max stealing that jacket and wishing he hadn’t just kicked a toddler in the gut to take his clothes that don’t even fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head canon involves the existence of several types/sizes of Zentran/Meltran that were engineered by the Protoculture for whatever task needed to be filled....Officers and soldiers being of different sizes are already portrayed in the show....so I'll stick to that idea for the reason why a Regult "pilot" would be smaller than a Boddole Zer or Britai...you don't need these guys piloting Regults....but their intimidating size would help them appear superior to the rank and file under them... Besides that....a diminutive VF-1 just looks ridiculous next to a towering Regult....as I said earlier..in-universe....mankind seems to have had tons of data on what they were up against....it makes no sense to have purposefully developed the VF-1 to be physically dwarfed by an already potentially superior alien adversary....regardless of these inconsistencies SDFM TV still rules after all these years....no Macross sequel or prequel has yet to surpass it's originality.....imo the further it gets away from the original story, the worse Macross gets....

I like that idea except that somehow magically one of the pilots gets out of a regult in one of the first episodes and dies in front oh Hikaru. It’s definitely too big for the regult and sized pretty well to a vf-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...keep in mind that according to Kawamori, more or less, none of it is canon....so the TV show could just be a dramatization of historical/physical reality....so possibly the Zentran 'CGI'd' for that scene and several others was done for 'shock value'..... What's in your head canon?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted Tuesday at 12:32 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:32 AM (edited) For dramatic purposes, especially in light of how Hikaru would feel as things unfolded, it makes sense in this TV dramatization of 'real life' events, the pilot would be portrayed as being huge.

jenius Posted Tuesday at 12:41 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:41 AM You mean when Max is dressed like a Zentran guard? Maybe the Zentran have a 'guard' class of huge Zentran to man the brig? More likely, that stuff was all made up by the TV show producers because them escaping by being tiny and fitting through cracks in a poorly maintained ship wasn't exciting enough.

I don’t even know if that guy was a guard. He might’ve just been cold because the heater wasn’t working right and nobody had heating/air conditioning skills on board. Honestly, I don’t exactly know what that guy is assigned to do. I don’t even know if they have a brig or if they just shrink the trouble makers down and stuff em in a drawer of fishbowl for a while.

grundee Posted Wednesday at 01:10 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:10 AM (edited) Does anyone who got the KC pod have an Hi Metal regult too? I’m interested to see how they compare side-by-side. I know that the HMR is like six cm shorter? But it’s hard to picture that. Trying to decide which one I should get. I like the size of the KC so it would look ok next to my Arcadia Valkyries, but prefer the non-shiny finish of the HMR though I’d probably have to get some HMR Valkyries to display it with so the pod isn’t dwarfed.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM Nice comparison to the Hi Metal R regults. I need to dig mine out and compare. I am enjoying the KC version, might be one of their best releases outside of the SD stuff.. obviously.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
