Groan.......VF-1 though. Something different would have been nicer. It's not like we have a shortage of VF-1 toys ya know.

Some Mac Plus, Mac Zero, Mac 7, Mac II or M3 Valks would have been better.

EDIT: looking better, maybe they are all VF-1. We'll have to wait to a better pic

Well you can hope that Kaiyoda do a third series of their figures at least they seem able to do more than just the good ole Vf-1

Didn't Kaiyodo give up and Bandai took over the Gashapon series? I know Kaiyodo made series one and two but then there's the Bandai "Third Mission" gashapon which seems to feature all the figures that hadn't been included in Kaiyodo/Movic's first two series. Granted, the Bandai figures are significantly different from the Kaiyodo figures but it does seem like Bandai took over the torch.

In a lot of Japanese grocery stores they have candy sections where they sell candy that comes with toys. Although when you see what you get it's really more like a toy that comes with candy but in the US since it's candy first it doesn't get taxed.

Anyway, a lot of cool toys get released that way but don't get much attention. I'm sure someone can explain it better than me.

Please let me know as I was planning on doing a little Gashapon review thread on my website for Kaiyodo 001, Kaiyodo 002, & Bandai Third. Did Bandai release a First and a Second a while agoo and that's why it just coincedentally seems to me that they picked up where Kaiyodo left off?

heres a review i did on the bandai mission gashapons sets 1, 2, and 3, way back when. :)

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...c=12202&hl=

i have all the kaiyodo stuff too but i didn't take any pics of them nor do a write up on them. i don't know about kaiyodo passing the torch to bandai but i know the kaiyodo stuff is totally different from the bandai stuff.

the bandais were all made of vinyl and they were all fix posed figures sold in different modes along with a semi-cool detailed chase figure. mission 1 came with the tomahawk, mission 2 was the regult, mission 3 was the q-rau.

the kaiyodo stuff was made of plastic and they actually transformed(VF-1's). it has removeable parts but for a VF-1 that small, its pretty neat. these also came with "chase figures" but i can't remember what came with what? IIRC, they did a really nice tomahawk, 1J and 1S in battroid, a 1J GBP, a really nice regult.....thats all i can remember off the top of my head right now.

added:

heres a group shot of a 1/48 1S, 1/60 1S strike, bandai gashapon 1S(3 in the middle and back), kaiyodo 1S's(2 on either side) and even a doyusha 1S(right up front).

good luck man, thats the hardest one to find because of those TV valks and regults.

you could try asking howard for the regults(hes the one that hooked me up), though he hasn't been here in ages.

i can't remember his handle right now, i think it was barba fatuina or something weird like that.

he's friends with a few japan based members here, maybe one of those guys can give you his contact info...

getting back on topic, i found a pic for what i believe is the bonus valk they're speaking of...

http://www.amenbo.com/cgi-bin/detail/detail-e.cgi

looks like some ugly green and blue varient, if the valk on the bottom means anything.

as far as the magnet action macross, i can't find any pics online but i'm assuming its like the other magnet action toys....

Why cant they continue releasing figs of Claudia, Kakazaki, Capt (Gen) Gloval and the rest of the bridge bunnies?

Yes the less iconic characters need some love.

released along with a little salad bowl.

These little things look good so far. I'm amazed at the detail on those little pictures. These would be good to decorate your desk with, to show people that you're a Macross nut. :p
