Could be the "new" Chunky Monkies... I totally agree 😁. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Leg Day Valkyrie. To be fair... Anyhow, I ain't coming down hard on these when folks give Tiny Sessions and Joke Machines a pass. These look look like more fun to transform than deformed or Chibi-type stuff. It's the Lucky Cat Jetwing that I really expected to vary from accuracy more.

True...SD/Chibi stuff are meant to look as they do all along....it's a niche... This garbage was designed, I would imagine, to "look cool"....but they come off as the worst of fanfic designs at best...but I guess even garbage can be a niche.... This company took a chance with these designs knowing there would be some buyers that would be oddly attracted to them....for that they do deserve some credit.....they will corner the market on trash designed VF-1s!....

Radioguy Posted Tuesday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:58 PM I'm waiting until I have one of these in-hand, but they look like they'd be fun to transform if there's enough die-cast, and quality plastic. From a toy perspective alone, these might scratch that Chunky Monkey itch that DX/Arcadia, etc. can't for being too screen-accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Bandai should satisfy the "Chunky Monkey" itch by re-releasing the real Chunky Monkey in some DYRL editions for the film's 40th anniversary...a reissue of the VE-1 and/or VT-1 would be an insta-buy for me...including using the same boxart as the original releases!

The tiny little knee joints in battroid are annoying to look at, but the fighter looks stupid. It’s mostly due to the intakes being so far out from the body, but overall it looks like a cool jet on top glued to a bunch of junk underneath that just doesn’t belong. It’s crap design from a company that doesn’t seem to understand design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioguy Posted Wednesday at 01:51 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:51 AM I'm wondering if they can handle play like the Chunkys. These look like they may be able to take a tantrum or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted 2 minutes ago Share Posted 2 minutes ago One of the things I enjoy searching for on the toys with tampo are how they warnings are interpreted by the manufacturer Such as 'Keep CleaN" instead of "Clear" I can't quite get a clear show of the markings on the back of the legs yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
