troyness Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Love it!! I think it was fighter mode that got me excited about this. Definitely keeping an eye on this. More interesting than three zero. Quote
Knight26 Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I do not care for it. The proportions are super off and the knee joint is just tiny, how the heck would the intake air pass through there? The proportions in fighter mode are going to be horrendous. Quote
mark-1s Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Waiting to see what fighter mode looks like, but so far, hard pass. Quote

You can check the Kids Logic thread where prototype of the Fighter and Guardian has already been posted when it got announced on page 3 and colored sample during SDCC2024 on page 4. Quote
Knight26 Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Based on this pic: That fighter mode looks like it was already destroyed. Hard Pass. The most interesting thing is that Tomahawk based armored Valk. Was that is Macross the First? Quote

Thx. That went from hard pass to extra ultra hard pass supreme. What a gappy mess. Quote

Atleast back then, Yamato saturated the market with different VF-1 variants. Letters and colors. Almost two decades after, it's just VF-1J. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 25 Posted July 25 (edited) While getting a Macross Toy license might include a few hoops to jump through, it would be nice to see these other companies attempt Mac Plus or Mac Zero designs (even if they have to slap a RT or HG label on the side). That's where my $$$ would go. Edited July 25 by 505thAirborne Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I leave valkyrie hunting alone for a while and come back to this?! It looks like an enlarged gacha toy, awful. Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 25 Posted July 25 (edited) What the #3!! is this thing supposed to be?! O.o Please tell me they didn't let Tommy Yune try to design a valk again!! 😠 Edited July 25 by pengbuzz Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Also, from this photo, are we seeing some preview of what parts are going to go yellow first? Quote
DownIsUp Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Man this thing looks so sick. The proportions look a little odd in just a standard A stance, but it almost reminds me of revoltech figures. I'm absolutely certain it'll look dynamic in an action pose, plus it's so cool to see stylized takes on this design. Arcadia and Bandai have striven for lineart accuracy for so long, this thing is like a breath of fresh air Quote
Froy Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I like the cartoon-ish look of the "Battloid" mode but fighter for sure is going to be a mess with those proportions. Quote
mikeszekely Posted July 26 Posted July 26 The Battroid's thighs are too chunky, and it makes the fighter look kind of dumb. Quote
Hiriyu Posted July 26 Posted July 26 It's Space Gandam VI ! HG is really going for saturation these days, that's for sure. Quote

troyness Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I like the VF-2SS feel it has to all 3 modes. Wanna see a few "birds eye" view pics from above to see the silhouette of fighter. As long as it locks together tight. A nice change from lineart. Quote
jenius Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I kinda like it as a battroid mode only toy... Almost feels kit bashed to make the other modes work. Quote

I think "fugly" is being rather kind to it. And yeah; that's gonna be as yellow as a lemon after about 6 months to a year. Quote

It’s definitely fugly, but I do have to give them credit for being brave enough to try something different for a company that sounds like it has no 🏀s Quote
Hikuro Posted July 26 Posted July 26 think there's already a long conversation about this in the Kids Logic thread. But it's an easy pass for me, Battloid mode looks okay, the rest is terrible. Quote
MKT Posted July 27 Posted July 27 15 hours ago, Raikkonen said: Too much fail here. Not only is there a big gap between the intake and chest plate, but the angle of the whole nose looks really weird. I get that they want to it such the crotch sticks out a bit in Battroid, but in Fighter the nose pointing more upwards than usual just reminds me of a wasp's arse. Quote

It's also going to obstruct the pilot's vision without some kind of drop towards the front. Quote

Froy Posted July 27 Posted July 27 (edited) Hmm Those intakes placement look out from a VF-2SS, very far away from the fuselage. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?id=100064184163387&story_fbid=870904095059055 Edited July 27 by Froy Quote
