Renato Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 ... But unfortunately I don't have a scanner. Anyway, for those that can check out the latest issue of "Figure Oh" magazine, there is a 20-odd page feature detailing the history of Macross toys from Takatoku to Yamato, with a little bit of news on upcoming items too. Oh, and the VF-0S still looks crap. Quote

wolfx Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Pffffttt.....indeed. Now all of us are left wondering about it. Quote
Graham Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I bought that magazine last week. In fact the cover pic from the magazine is now the new MW main page pic The pic of the VB-6 is nothing special. It's just a very small pic that shows a grey color VB-6 in Battroid, Gerwalk and Bomber modes. I'll try and scan it tonight if I have time. Graham Quote
hevangel2 Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I think the old monster looks better than Koenig in gerwalk mode. The nose is too small. Quote
CID Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Does anyone know how big or what scale this item will be? Quote
twich Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Apon seeing the Battroid Pics and the Gerwalk pic, I am REALLY excited about this toy! I cant say that enough! I am also excited for the Macross Zero Toys! I wonder when we are going to have a painted version to look at? Larry Quote
Fort Max Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Uber, uber droolage. This has shot to the top of my robot buying list, it's just so .... awesome, *starts to cry* Fort Max Quote
Omni Existence Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I think the old monster looks better than Koenig in gerwalk mode.The nose is too small. Hmm...maybe because the VB-6 is smaller, and the original Monster does NOT transform into two other modes? Quote
Angel's Fury Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 looks tight! so when is it coming out? It won't be out sometime in the near future that's for sure!!! Quote
Mechamaniac Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I hope the cannon length is a perspective thing in that picture, cuz they look a mite stubby to me!. I'd like to see a shot from the side so we can see how long the cannons really are in "gerwalk" mode. BTW - when did the true form of the Monster become Gerwalk mode? Quote
Aegis! Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) wow , look at the detail This is far better than what i expected , Gerwalk mode looks weird but that´s because he legs are extended in a L position. I bought that magazine last week. In fact the cover pic from the magazine is now the new MW main page pic The pic of the VB-6 is nothing special.

Graham Any other artwork in that mag ? it seems it covered a lot of macross Edited May 31, 2004 by Aegis! Quote

BTW - when did the true form of the Monster become Gerwalk mode? Look at the destroid mode, the cannons are pretty long indeed. Probably just a perspective thing in the gerwalk pic. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 The arms look a bit stubby in gerwalk mode... Is it just my impression? Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Definitely THE toy!!!! Added to the buy list Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) The arms do look short in gerwalk mode. According to the linart, the arms extend well past the feet, whereas in that picture they appear to be at about the same level. However, it wouldn't surprise me if that funky angle is screwing with my perspective. Yamato, we need more pics! edit: Added pic. Upon closer inspection, there are a few other inconsistencies, but nothing worth mentioning. Edited May 31, 2004 by TheLoneWolf Quote
sidearmsalpha Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 The head on the toy doesn't seem to match the lineart. I don't like the toy's head. Looks like a Trojan soldier's head. Quote
trueblueeyes Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Does anyone know how big or what scale this item will be? 1/100 scale, just like the IHP model was. ..... Does anyone know if we have any chance of still seeing the original Destroid monster produced? Or has it been usurped by the Konig? Don't get my wrong, I love the VB-6! I was just quite looking forward to the coffee table sized original monster. Quote

Upon closer inspection, there are a few other inconsistencies, but nothing worth mentioning. It looks to me that the arms slide back and forth at the shoulder, so maybe it's not extended to it's full length (speculation). The arms flip upside down in battroid mode so that maybe where the sliding action is useful. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Looks good. Maybe it'll cost more than Max's or Millia's Q-Rau. Quote
GobotFool Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Looks good. Maybe it'll cost more than Max's or Millia's Q-Rau. I was always shocked at the price of the Q-rau, even for it's size it was a simple non-transforming toy. Quote
wolfx Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Looks good. Maybe it'll cost more than Max's or Millia's Q-Rau. I'm quite sure that is a granted. I WANT ONE NOW!!!! GIMME MONSTER! Quote
