Yamato finally posted a legible picture of the battroid mode of their 1/60 VF-4G. Here’s the complete set of pics including the other modes. So far, so good Macross Anniversary year… so far, so good…
Yamato will start taking non binding preorders for the 1/60 VF-4G at 5% off. The scheduled release date is December 2012 but the price isn’t finalized as of writing. All orders are non binding and and you will need to confirm your order again once the price is official. Normal pre-ordering with no discount for the VF-4 is scheduled to start in August after the price is announced. Yamato Toys Fan Club Members will get an extra 5% off (10% total).
No exact details yet, but Figure Arts Zero will produce a Shery Nome (Black Bunny Ver) figure. And as special item for the 30th anniversary of Macross a VF-1s color version of the DX Chogokin YF-29 will be released. More details next month!
We saw Ron’s amazing dioramas at the previous Macross World Conventions before, and now he’s using his awesome talents to put these depictions of his amazingly detailed valkyrie toys in flight. It’s either that or he knows about some secret base that builds actual valkyries that can fly and he can somehow stay close enough to take pictures.
Originally posted by CF18, I wanted to wait for a clearer picture. Finally, mechaninac got us a bigger scan… now where’s the VF-4 Magazine scan?
“And now… The conclusion.”
In the third and final part of this video series, we put our skills to the test and actually build the kit, and then move on to trying our hand at printing secret messages in alien language. We conclude with some afterthoughts about collecting and the obsession with MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) items versus “fun”.

Scooped a few days back by forum user CF18, and later followed up on with further pics by Reivaj and nanoplasm, Banpresto has revealed the latest additions to their Macross figure lineup. These are ‘prize figures’ for UFO catchers (commonly found in most game centers in Japan).
The first of these are a new 3-figure set in the ‘Chibi Kyun Chara’ lineup – ‘ Macross 30th Anniversary Songstress Collection.’
Next up are nurse versions of Sheryl and Ranka.
Finally, in a crossover that no-one imagined, a Sheryl in Basara-cosplay figure! Here’s hoping that this is only the first of several such figures because its looking great!
Being Prize Figures, these technically cannot be sold, but most good online figure stores tend to get a carton or two so they shouldn’t be too hard to get for anyone who is interested.
More pics can be found in the original thread in the forums.
It’s been four long days since this was posted, it’s amazing how ancient news becomes on the internet in mere hours… obviously from www.toyworld.com.hk, charger69 put up these pictures of Mikhail’s VF-25G.
