Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 The next 1/48 scale VF-1 release is the VF-1A TV Kakizaki Type. Click here to check it out! Quote
Vegas Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) looks kinda nice....i like it Edited January 22, 2009 by Vegas Quote
ff95gj Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks!!! Finally, we would have the full Vermillion Team in 09！ I think every 1/48 would be magazine-special. What's next? VF-1D？ Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I want the TV Kakizaki! And the TV Max, and the TV CF and DYRL? CF and Max 1S... All in 1/48! Quote
m0n5t3r Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) we can count on a v.2 1/60 of this! hope so... coz we mere mortals can't afford to jump through the proverbial hoops to get this thing... but a real and non-sarcastic YAY! for all the 1/48 hardcore fans/completists! but i remember Graham saying that the "1/48 line is finished"... maybe this is it and it will die with Kaki...

jenius Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) "Along with the 1/48 scale weathered edition of Hikaru's VF-1J" Seems there's two gems in that blurb simultaneously. Edited January 22, 2009 by jenius Quote
emerson Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It may finally be time to retire my Toynami Superposeable Vermillion Squad! Sold off the SP's ages ago, but always retained these 3 for sentimental purposes. Quote
Javabean Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) With this 1/48 release, I can smell v.2 1/60 TV Kakizaki will be coming soon Edited January 22, 2009 by Javabean Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 "Along with the 1/48 scale weathered edition of Hikaru's VF-1J" Seems there's two gems in that blurb simultaneously. It was mentioned in the text I read, and also it was on display at a show a few months back. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'll pass, but good news for the 1/48 completists!!!! I have all the 1/48's I want. If they come up with the "Blue Roses" scheme, then I'm in. I'm a 1/60 completist, and the VF-1 v2 is THE AWESOME!!! So for me, it's going to be all 1/60's Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Awesome news!! Does anyone know if the VF-1A TV Max and Kakizaky will come in a special box or just a standard VF-1A DYRL Hikaru Box. Are these just custom paint schemes or pigmented plastic? Quote
chowyunskinny Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone know if the VF-1A TV Max and Kakizaky will come in a special box or just a standard VF-1A DYRL Hikaru Box. Are these just custom paint schemes or pigmented plastic? Well the Max is due out in February, so I guess we'll find out then Quote
MacrossMan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'm all in if anyone is coordinating a group buy. Hopefully Save can come though on this. Quote
wwkkim Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Seems like Kakizaki will be mail-in order. But will the VF-1J be non-limited mail-in order or one of those bitch mail-in-order lucky draw exclusive :S Quote
jenius Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Seems like Kakizaki will be mail-in order. But will the VF-1J be non-limited mail-in order or one of those bitch mail-in-order lucky draw exclusive :S Yeah, Kakizaki will be just like Max... but I suspect we're going to see a flood of Max VF-1A TVs on eBay and so the Kakizaki will go for much less of a premium. That's just my guess but we'll see. So far, every Weathering Edition has been a Yamato site exclusive with a limited ordering window or something even more difficult (like the 200 piece raffle). I'm guessing getting the 1J will be anything but easy/cheap. Quote
boota Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 What will you guys do when they announce next year that tv max & kakizaki will be weathered like roy, hikaru 1s & 1j? Quote

I'm guessing getting the 1J will be anything but easy/cheap. Wonder why Yamatos wouldn't mass produce weathering versions... Anyways, hopefully the vf-1j will be unlimited exclusive so anyone can get it Quote
KiriK Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I hate you yamato.... and i thought i was gonna be done with 1/48's after the TV Max.... frickin ay!!!! i can't afford this stuff... man this makes me so mad... Quote
MacrossMan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 What will you guys do when they announce next year that tv max & kakizaki will be weathered like roy, hikaru 1s & 1j? I'll get those too. I'm a 1/48 fiend. Quote
tank Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 funny ever since the 1/60 ver 2 came out all the 1/48 issues now are being sold web exclusive only, then prices will inflate when sold to a second party. no fair Quote

Godzilla Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Well I am happy to see the 1/48s make a small comeback. If they make weathered versions of these, I am out. I am quite happy with what I have. Quote
Toonz Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 this 1/48 kaki will have a 1/60 version. im sure! Quote
Graham Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Think I'll stick with the 1/60 versions, as I've retired all my 1/48 to storage already. Graham Quote
wwkkim Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I have both 1/60 ver 2.0 and 1/48 and I found that in terms of quality, ver 2.0 defeates 1/48 very easily. In terms of gimmicks and etc, the 1/48 would be superior. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I have both 1/60 ver 2.0 and 1/48 and I found that in terms of quality, ver 2.0 defeates 1/48 very easily. In terms of gimmicks and etc, the 1/48 would be superior. 1/60 V2-more intact. Just doesn't fall apart on its own. 1/48-cool stuff. GERWALK Antenna, super-accurate cockpit, etc. I will say, though, that the 1/48s are like tanks. You drop 'em and they just sit there, gunpod still in hand... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Looks super sexy, yeah v.2 all the way. Kaki 1A looks great imo! Quote
emerson Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hopefully the release date's not too far off. Max 1A, if it's released in Feb as planned, would have taken about months between announcement and release. Quote
