I'd love a Monster. Any idea the scale?

I'd love a Monster. Any idea the scale?

The transformable one in the pictures on the previous page? The Robot Damashii line is non-scalar. That Armored VF-25S should be 12cm tall and the VB-6 Koenig Monster gerwalk looks to be about the same height to the top of its head.

--------------------

The white and grey Valk in the pic below is the Damashii VF-25F - should be the same height as the Armored VF-25S

Wow. That's quite small. I'm referring to the one in this photo:



Is that the same one as the VB-2 transforming one shown here?



I wish it was a bit bigger.

[Tober]

Yep, that's the same one.

Yamato made a transforming 1/100 VB-6 Koenig Monster about 5 years ago, but it's a floppy mess.

The plot thickens - Ngee Khiong mentions that it's a DX Chogokin and not Robot Damashii in this post

[Tober]

It's unclear exactly what it is. There are conflicting reports all over MacrossWorld.

The K-Monster display label show both "Robot Damashii" and "DX Chogokin" instead of "<Side VF>". Hopefully it means we will see it as a general release in the DX line instead of a limited release.

2010
R-0?? <SIDE VF> VB-6 König Monster - Macross Frontier – Tokyo Toy Show 2009 & listed as “DX” at Tamashii Feature Vol. 1 2010.
R-0?? <SIDE VF> VF-25S Armored Messiah (Ozma Lee Custom) - Macross Frontier – Tamashii Feature Vol 1. 2010.

However that tech sheet for the VB-2 says 'R Number XXX [SIDE-VF] ' and lists it with the other Macross RD releases...

It also looks way too small for a DX release (to me anyway).

That scan posted above is pretty old btw, from a RD booklet that came with Dengeki Hobby Sep 09.

just saw on HLJ that the VF-0S and VF-0A are being restocked in April

The 1/60 Yamato YF-21 is also getting a re-release sans stand (aparently).

Bandai have released shots of a 1/100 prototype YF-21, details of the 1/100 VF-1, color shots of the VF-19 Kai Sound Booster and news that the green production version of the VF-27 will be an exclusive. There is also a picture of a DX stand in CAD.

That green VF-27 sure is purdy.
