KONIG YAMATO- worth it?

[inhumanoidstmd]

guys, need your expert opinion? is the yamato konig worth the price? its arnd 7000+. while an mib vintage is arnd 2000+ only but its small. the di cast content is better than the yamato ver.

Where'd you find the vintage one? May kapatid pa ba yun?

[inhumanoidstmd]

um, just researched sa net bro

[genocide]

it looks impossible to make it stand in battroid mode based on the pics that i saw... i wonder how they cheat that? but surely this will be the second yamato fig that i'll get when i start collecting macross figs... better grab the VF-0S when it's out before the price goes up!!

[inhumanoidstmd]

hmm so the yamato konig is worth the price?

The Koenig can stand in Battroid mode.

As for being worth it?

It's the only fully transforming VB-6 Koenig Monster toy produced. That's got to account for something.

In any case, it's sturdier than what some whiners say it is. Get it .

you are very welcome bro.

the older pictures that came out before, the one with the acrylic blocks behind the Koenig's feet were there because the protoype was heavy (resin). the final toy can stand okay on it's own.

@inhumanoids:
the only issue with the Koenig is the arms. It easily loses tension around the shoulders and elbow because of the heavy rocket launchers (forearms).

if you want to have a hands on, I believe Malvin still has his Koenig displayed at his GH shop. ;D

i myself didn't think that it was that huge...

[inhumanoidstmd]

actually its small coz its only 1:100, not scaled to the 1:60 valks. but its as tall as the old sdf toy

[fenrir72]

I am not into Macross, but I personnally will vouch for it. Not as metallic armored looking as the anime but it is worth the Php 7000.00 if you really are a fan. as for the transformation................no official transform in the anime except in the PSOne VFX-2 game. Never released in the US, only in Japan.( It was a gosh darn awful game as is in all PS Macross games)
