Shaggydog Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 In the text underneath the pix of the other Yamato 1/60 stuff.. http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2008/06/126.html it says Yamato is developing a 1/60 VF-11b . Yay! Let's loosen up a few of those tolerances for fighter mode this time, please.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) lol the motoko looks like she's packing something in her pantiz. Deffinently getting the next 1/200 box, the VF-9 rocks hard. Nice website, thanks for the link. Roy - "What are you doing Gothic Lolita?? Nuuu! Put me down!" Edited June 20, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Yay. I bet it was finished ages ago and graham has already been playing with it but they want to make it look like they had never intended to make one just to build up suspense.
eugimon Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Cool! Come on Graham, the cat's out of the bag now, give us the dirt!
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 When you think about it, it makes sense to stagger releases. Lets us poor folks who are falling behind catch up. (and for them to not fall into the first release curse) I wonder what size it will be? Are they going to cheat the scale? And what of fast packs? These going to be standard like yf-19 and yf-21? I hope so. Atmospheric boosters?
Kyp Durron Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Can't say I'm too surprised, they made the YF-19 and YF-21, it was only logical that they made the VF-11B. Though I would have thought that a Mac+ VF-0D would have been next in line... -Kyp
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Atmospheric boosters........ if they do them i want the 1/60 scale VF-1 versions as well.
danth Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Great news. I hope the VF-4 is next in line. My thoughts exactly. I love me some old-school valks.
Sumdumgai Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 OH HELL YES! Yamato should be able to do it without the shoulder bars now. I hope it's as beautiful as the 19 and 21 have turned out to be.
DarkReaper Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Maybe it's perspective screwing with me but aren't those feet a bit huge? They seem to be half as long as the entire leg assembly. Edited June 21, 2008 by DarkReaper
DarkReaper Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) That Shield also looks huge. Edited June 21, 2008 by DarkReaper
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Ohh the GNU, yeah alot of things don't look quite right on the VF-11. (like the gunpod) It seems the VF-11 was an afterthought on Yamato's part. Edited June 21, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
DarkReaper Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Damn, I thought that was the 1/60. Those GN-U toys are quite detailed though.
Javabean Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Great! A 1/60 VF-11B will be very much welcome for me!
Vegas Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 This will be a report from the Yamato Summer Business Show that was held on June 19 and 20th. Many new exciting items were shown for the very first time. A prototype of the Yamato Macross YF-11B that will be released in the future was shown for the very first time but as it was a only prototype no pictures were allowed http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-blog/info/468.html
Dante74 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Aah finally! I need multiples of the VF-11 so it's back the to noodle diet for me.
Sumdumgai Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I wonder how they're doing to do the heatshield... Integrated, as in hidden in fighter mode, yet capable of being brought out in battroid without having to remove pieces? Canopy switch like the original 1/60 VF-1? Separate piece that goes over the canopy like the original release 1/72 VF-11B? I'm curious to see how they'll handle the vertical stabilizers and their method of storage in the legs when transforming. The gunpod needs to be a balanced size and not ungodly oversized like the GNU VF-11B gunpod. I forsee that the gunpod will have a removable magazine like the GU-15 gunpod toy.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Look what they did with the YF-21? It's gonna be fun seeing how they do this!
kensei Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Amazing feature on the 1/60 VF-1 with the detachable cockpit on the forearm.
Valkyrie addict Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!.. Yamato, take all the time you need to make this one puuuuuuuuurfect
OmegaD3k Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Yes. Oh hell yes. Bring it. Just hope the development won't take too long, as it did with the 21.
Max Jenius Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I never understood why ppl like the VF-11B so much. It's one of my least favorites.
Shaggydog Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Wow. They actually had a prototype there, and nobody got a picture? The Yamato security guards must be getting better, usually we see pix even when there are 'no photo' signs all over the place!
Guest sh002 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 that's it i'm going to file for bankruptcy with all these macross toys.
dizman Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 This is pretty good news, I was in hopes of a VF-0D but this will do . The VF-11 is pretty much popular because of the beginning scene in Mac+ (Bayonets+Robots=Awesome) and also it was a cannon fodder so that gives it a special place in our hearts, oh and the design is pretty neat too.
Sumdumgai Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I love the VF-11B for seeing Isamu kicking @$$ in Macross Plus with it. I like that it's a successor to the VF-1, it's a cannon fodder type valkyrie and a hero one as well without having a color scheme change. And, well, I just plain old love how it looks. It looks nice with and without the fast packs, it has a big beefy gunpod (not as much as the GNU depicts it), and it's one of the few valkyries I like in gerwalk mode. The VF-11C on the other hand makes me sad. Don't even get into the subject of The Pink Peckers...
Dobber Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 FINALLY!!!!!!!! 1/60 VF-11 is what I've been waiting for. I really like "most" of the sculpt for their original VF-11 just not the small vertical stabs and the huge hinges, but I really liked the nose sculpt. Chris
connor99 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I never understood why ppl like the VF-11B so much. It's one of my least favorites. I like it because out of all 3 MAC+ mechs, it closely resembles the original VF-1.
David Hingtgen Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I'm waiting for the 2nd release----but NOT because of any potential issues. I just want a different scheme. I've owned two different M+ ones, I want something new. M7 CF is very bland though. VFX-2 is awesome, but licensing is an issue. Possibly M3? Then we could get Max and Milia and even Moaramia... (C'mon, you know a purple VF-11 would be awesome)
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 This is by far one of my favorite Valk designs. While I suppose this wasn't a huge surprise, I'm definitely glad it's in the works and already coming along.
Ghostkiller Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 hell yeah .... what a good news.... My favorite for sure ... I love the canard plans it must hold my 21
brannon Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 hell yeah .... what a good news.... My favorite for sure ... I love the canard plans it must hold my 21 is that it? ......... im saving now if thats it, cause it will be a shelf queen. my wife asked me the other day if i would give up my collection for her. it was 50/50 but with this bird, she'd have to go!!!!!!!!!!
