For some reason the video does not load for me... If you are on mobile, it probably asks you to view on app when clicking on the link. Try enabling web translation, & then there should be link somewhere on that page that says ‘continue viewing on web browser’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 OK, finally got to see the video on my laptop.... Looks pretty good....looking forward to seeing how this looks next to a KC 1/72 and Yamato 1/60... Hopefully KC doesn't decide to keep all of the PO deposits on their remaining unreleased 1/72 VF-1 toys and 'vanish'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I rewatched the video and realized with all these improvements from other companies, Bandai included, nobody can top Yamato's/Arcadia's canopy and landing gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it comes with a small hand that fits inside the arm for transformation. Saw a different video that shows height comparison with YamArcadia's 1/60 VF-1J in Battroid... errr... Battloid mode. Edited June 4 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogall Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) It doesn’t look all that bad! The panel lining is something to get used too… Everything seems to stay in place when transformed but more videos are needed! I really hope that @jenius gets his, for review soon and shows us the differences. Edited June 4 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drawback (one of them) of KC was the accentuated panel lining, and I'm not psyched about seeing on this too. Still, I'm more worried about the feel in hand, and if the head really seems bulbous up close. Edited June 4 by Radioguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I'm curious to see what's the purpose of the added bracket that is part of the metal bar connected to the leg which Arcadia or Bandai have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, I'm thinking the 1/48 would benefit more of that said added bracket since it's bigger than this one. That's why I'm wondering why a shrank 'DX' design would need it.

That's why I'm wondering why a shrank 'DX' design would need it. When I saw the video someone posted, it showed the hip rotation and it acted like a tract to allow the connection bar to move. I guess we will find out when these arrive in hands and I can watch Jenius do a review on anymoon.com. Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be okay with the Yamato/Arcadia VF-1 head sitting high, but these days it looks off, almost to the point that it ruins Battroid mode.

no3Ljm Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 1 hour ago, grogall said: So from this picture I would surmise it’s 1/72 scale? KitzConcept VF-1's was marketed as 1/72. ThreeZero's on the other hand is marketed as Non-Scaled figure. Seeing that the ThreeZero height is somehow closer to YamArcadia's height as I have posted on the screengrab above (posted below again), we can probably assume based on @jenius' scale findings 2nd photo below in Battroid mode, the ThreeZero is probably 1/62-ish. 2 hours ago, jvmacross said: Nice...have link to this video?

Hopefully the attachment is sturdy won't accidentally or unintentionally detach during handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy/collect only 1/55, DX, and now, maybe, Three Zero. This Three Zero is smaller than I expected, but looks, feels, and handles like a premium product.

mcfly50 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Got mine today. I like it a lot. Don’t forget to press the hidden buttons in the legs to extend the legs and feet. That’s a new trick. Time will tell, but I think this might be a hit. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfly50 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The hands it comes with are good, but I think it would be neat if someone came up with articulated hands like I’ve seen some aftermarket ones like this. https://toydojo.com/products/kfc-kp-08-ultra-magnus-mp-22-hand-upgrade-set?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=4e9025997&pr_rec_pid=6755171238050&pr_ref_pid=6755177562274&pr_seq=uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyness Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Love the chunkyness of it ....but after all the advancements in toy engineering over the years the legs still can't do a full squat & wings still can't retract. I don't see enough there for me to purchase one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
