1 VF-1 2NV Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) Nice . Has the size of the monster been scaled down. It looks smaller. That yamato stand there looks very tempting to buy . Edited June 15, 2004 by 1 VF-1 2NV Quote
do not disturb Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 wow that looks great! i guess the main cannons are a little short after all but it still looks awesome. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 UGH, why have you maimed my Monster so!! Those cannons are way too short. Quote
Subotnik Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) I don't what this is but it looks it could pass of as a megazone 23 garland kinda. The other one looks way more decent than the neon blue effect. They're from Amdriver. The two in suit form are the Edge Visor and Air Visor, I'm not sure what the vehicle one in the first pic is called. Edited June 15, 2004 by Subotnik Quote
ChristopherB Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) Nice pictures, thank you for posting them. The cannon length looks good to me. The last thing I want is a weak joint where each one attaches, droopy cannon barrel due to the length, and the length of the barrels directly influences the length in shuttle mode. They have to compromise, or people will complain that shuttle mode is too long. Looking at the second picture from the top, you can see what appears to be the 30mm cannon Graham mentioned, but I'm not sure. Edit: Damn, just noticed that the cannon barrels looked like they are rifled. Rifling is used to put spin on ballistic rounds to increase accuracy/range, but I was never sure what type of ammo the VB-6 uses, because rifling would be moot with regard to non-ballistic ammo.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 The VB-6 looks perfect to me I like the proportions, have no major complaints. It´s currently at the top of my buy list Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) Definately want one. It looks like it comes in two different shades of diaorhea? Can the legs squat down really low? Or is that the lowest it can sit? It just seems a little tall compared to what it normally looks like. Edited June 15, 2004 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Blaine23 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) I love the colors (same as the Takatoku, really) and the canon length doesn't bother me a bit... But I do think it looks a little flat and undetailed. No panel lines? Edited June 15, 2004 by Blaine23 Quote
ChristopherB Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 But I do think it looks a little flat and undetailed. No panel lines? Without realizing what was bothering me aesthetically regarding the VB-6, and now that you have mentioned it, I completely agree with your observation. The level of detail definitely seems lacking. Of course I'm happy as hell to get a VB-6, but I would love to see more attention to panel lines, hatches and so forth. Quote

jasonkimberson Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 the toy looks good, but i do think the cannons need to be a bit longer Quote
VF-1Guy Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Very nice. This is at the top of my want list! Quote
takatoys Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Looks very elegant, but how much are we talking here? 200 bucks or perhaps more with shipping Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Looks good to me!!! Maybe this is still early work on the Monster. It does seem a little 'plain' and 'flat' right now. Nothing that a few factory applied stickers/tampos couldn't easily fix though. Quote

Very nice indeed!!! Can't wait for these to come out!!! This should go right next to Valkyrie's IHP VB-6 recast. Btw, speaking of the 30mm cannon, are you talking about those two little dots just below the fusalage? Edited June 15, 2004 by Angel's Fury Quote
Nani?! Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) I love the colors (same as the Takatoku, really) and the canon length doesn't bother me a bit... But I do think it looks a little flat and undetailed. No panel lines? Couldn't agree with you more blaine. This isnt another vf 1, it's a friggin konig monster for pete's sake. It deserves in the LEAST, panel lines. Yamato is really being cheap if they don't give it that honor right out of the box. Also the orange seems to be a wee bit off to me... isn't it just a tad little more yellower? The cannons look good to me. If anything, making them longer would have made the other modes look wrong. I think the line art is less accurate that this rendition. Overall everything kicks major arse. I would love Yamato if they gave a little more attention to paint detail on their toys with each release. Edit: oh by the way, the VF-0 looks awesome. At least, THAT amount of detail should go to the konig as well. Edited June 15, 2004 by Nani?! Quote
rnurmin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Oh my oh my, The Monster is coming to town soon Thanks for the pics's link. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Go Yamato, pimp that sexy beast.. Rawr!! With this sudden mass showing of the monster and the pics on Yamatos site it should hopefully be out before the end of the year. Fort Max Quote
jwinges Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I really hope they make a low viz one....I hate that pinkish color on it. Quote
scand Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Wow, That looks great. The size of the VF-0S doesn't look that small either. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 yowzers! that monster is even more beautiful in color! I agree that the cannons are a little bit short, but not too much. It's gotta fit in the back in plane mode so I guess it's gotta be short. Just slap some stickers on that bad boy and I'll be spent!! Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 You can see raised panel lines on the arms from some of the angles. I'm hoping Yamato will some how help bring out those details. It just looks too plain. The sculpt is awesome, though. Quote
scand Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) Here is another pics with Max's Q-Rau in the background. Well you can't see jack because of the flash. Edited June 15, 2004 by scand Quote
Rune Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 o if the size has been scaled down,will the price as well? Quote
Blaine23 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 o if the size has been scaled down,will the price as well? Sure... but the scale is still 1/100... I don't think it looks any smaller - mayhap some of our calculations were off? Also, it's much taller in battroid mode. Now the price is - 1/2 off. Now it's officially half off of not having a price yet. Quote

Angel's Fury Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I doesn't appear to be scaled down, unless I'm mistaken?? It's still big as far as I know. Do any of you know if this has any diecast parts on it or is it in purely pvc/abs?? Quote
Myersjessee Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 so...do we have the slightest clue on costs? Quote
Angel's Fury Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 so...do we have the slightest clue on costs? nope. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 "I'd buy that for a dollar!" Looks nice, but I only like it in gerwalk, but that's just me. I only liked the vb-6 in gerwalk anyway. Looks like it's the closest I'll get to owning a destroid monster by Yamato... But hey, this one is cool. Just missing his little pea-shooter thingy... Quote
Myersjessee Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 so...do we have the slightest clue on costs? nope. man...what ever happend to "dont tell me know...tell me how?!?! " How about flying to Japan and making some friends with Yamato insiders?!?! Jeesh! LOL...oh well...hope it doesnt break the bank. I'm gonna guess $95...who cares to guess with me? Quote
FerrariF311 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 after seeing those I have the sudden urge to spend lots of money! Quote
