You pro modeller or just OOB?
Hagesawa kits generally has small parts, molded in flat single pieces, so painting is required, not to mention their crazy water decals. So far this line focus on VO Force and Marz VRs.
Recommendation:
Temjin 747a8 White Knight (Very hard to find tho)
Temjin 747 Shadow ver. (even harder to find)
Any female VRs

Kotobukiya kits, on the other hand, are just like the SRW kits; molded with parts of different colors separated, comes with dry-transfer decals, very little painting needed for OOB build. This line focus on OMG and VOOT VRs.

Specineff(has very sharp claws!) and Fei-Yen are both cool. Raiden is kinda clunky, but very easy to find (IIRC XL Shop/Time Machine both still have the RNA version)

But seriously, I've been on this forums for quite some time and I never knew we have a VO thread, lol

For the Fei-Yen, better get Koto's Fei-Yen Kn; stronger joints there, definitely. The skirt pieces on the Hagesawa's Fei requires plastic cement to properly hold them in place, and she has 3 tiny pieces glued into 1 for her elbow joint..Yikes.

Though i did bought the 3 Fei's, coz it's VO

However, the Guarayakha model is much more forgiving, but requires some paint job, despite having those decals I'm expecting a third version to come though, she's still missing the hammer, lol.

Can't wait for the Myzr Delta. Hopefully Kotobukiya would also step up their game and give us a transforming Cypher.

I spotted a Koto Speci at Time Machine BTS; it's been there on the shelf for quite sometime together with Koto FeiYen.

TimeMachine only jack up prices on kit alot of people wants. You know what it's like with VO here. The price are actually normal. I think Fei is just around RM120-ish IIRC, or less. But yeah, so far the Temjin, Fei-Yen, Hatter I had all have the weird joints. Guara is saved from that because her arms is too small It's generally safer to use plastic cement on them or parts will eventually drop here and there when you tried to pose it So far I still think the old VO models from Wave are the best in term of playability and assembly, almost early Bandai quality. Heck they even have a working laser mechanism for Raiden.

Bumping this thread from the dead, many cool pics.


Myzr Delta, coming this Dec.

Also some of my customized VR in 5.66:

Parts are molded in the pink/purple/white, grey joints and the clear parts. So all those blue details are decals.

It's Cypher in VOOT.


I would buy 2 for sure, the designs in VOOT are so much win. Force and Marz are generally ok, but they are either too polygonal, or covered in messy details.

I wish I knew of such a site. The only other VO-related site I go to is oratan.com, which is also a discussion forum

Used to have one site of my own when I was really crazy about VO, but I'm not sure if it's down, or just me on a bad connection. Try to see if you can access it or something, haha.

MSBS Omega

Funnily enough, the older version is still up after all these years (10 years?LOL). Pardon the weird arrangements and text sizes though, it was made in the 320x240 days afterall
*oh hey, the 2 mp3 links in the mutilmedia section is still working!

MSBS X2


Imma gonna go bask in nolstagia now

Gah, disappointing. Hagesawa's always picking the easy route Apharmds/Temjins. Anyone manage to get that Myzr? According to HobbyJapan, it was released in December , while most online stores list it as mid-end January.

Oh, if they're ever so evil enough they could always do color variants as well Oh not sure if you guys are interested, but VO:Force is already out on the X360. AI Jag spams infinite CW lasers alot

Did I just smell some epic win?



If only SEGA would make this a DLC character, or Hagesawa making this a 1/100 model

It's from Newtype magazine Feb 2011, and it appears the Miku fever got Katoki as well Since Sega also published the Project Diva games (and part of Fei-Yen's origin story is that she loves to sing), it actually make sense. Apparently (according to this scan here), that's the latest evolution of the original lost Fei-Yen (Fai-Yuv), a hybrid creation of VR type 14 and a certain "Diva".

Temjin would make a perfect Kaito VR, lol.

Already have both of them, hehe. So far my only Kaiyodo VO casualty is Cypher; broken ankle out of box(that was like, 7 years ago i think), then only recently his spine snaps. Now resting in 2 pieces.

The joints degrade over time, and they're like rubbery PVC. If you leave it for too long, the joint gets stuck inside its hole and when you twist, carefully or not, the joint is bound to break sooner or later. If this happened back when I bought it, I would be devastated(since VO figure are like very, very rare then). But since it's 2011, I could sit back and wait for Kotobukiya to release their model kit

Added on March 3, 2011, 9:18 pmHey guys, Dr Watari had posted a survey which could very well be looked at for a new VO!

It's in Japanese, but friends over at Oratan had a translation of it.

Help revive VO!

It comes with 3 different chest pieces for the boob sizes, (flat, normal, big). Not sure if they also include the different sized hips

Standard Hagesawa "Limited" stuffs
Lol


Also coming soon:
Myzr Gamma, just change color/weapon runner= new model

You'll need to paint the yellows, much like you need to paint in the light blue on the first version
