Post a pic of your absolute favorite Macross toy

[drkstar00]

Same rule applies as before:

Only one absolute favorite gentlemen -forcing you to really think hard on this one.

(If you find this too difficult -and it SHOULD be hard- use the burning home senario: seconds left, you get to keep only one...)

[Ignacio Ocamica]

But we need a mod to delete the post from people that list/post 2/3 favorites!!!

:lol:

In your last thread I chose the 1/60 VF-1S Roy Low Viz (it was very difficult relegating the 1/60 YF-21) but others mentioned more than one.

in THAT case... the first thing i'd grab wouldn't be a MACROSS toy at all, but rather my precious Mikuru-chan♥,

...that aside, in the case of a MACROSS toy, it would, in the same scenario, likely come down to my HCM VF-1J,

due to it's rarity, personal sentimentality, and the love i put into detailing it.

for me, it is a uniquely meaningful toy, THE classic among the classics;

_{That's totally awesome.}

[Aeternalis]

Yep, that definitely does look awesome! Especially the fighter mode.

No surprises here I'm guessing

[skull_leader001]

Yeah!!!

[eugimon]

I'm more impressed by other toys like the 1/3000 SDF-1 or the vf-19 but the vf-1s is my favorite due to nostalgia and being the most iconic

My favorite Macross toy ever would be none other than the Yamato 1/60th scale YF-21, my favorite valk of all time. I've taken many a picture of this beauty, but the one that I'm most proud of would be this one:

PIN-POINTO BARRIA PAWNCH!

The YF-21 is my all time favorite Macross Valkyrie due to the fact that its super-sleek and blazingly fast Fighter mode turns into a hulking monster of a Battroid mode. Love the juxtaposition.

... I know we're only supposed to post one, but here's one more of the YF-21 in fighter mode.

All the other pics that I've taken of this beauty and the YF-19 are in one of the gallery threads somewhere. Or you could just take a look at all of them on my blog.

[kamadoma]

Mine would have to be this. It was a tough choice against Max's VF-22S, but since mine had somewhat loose knees, I opted for the much more solid Fire Valkyrie.

My favorite if I had to just keep one

My favorite is the Origin Of Valkyrie VF-1J Hikaru Custom.

This is the best shot of a valkyrie toy I have ever seen. You sir, are a photo genius.

The plastic cap for the swing bar is missing?

[Dobber]

For me it would be my custom Yamato SV-51 in Splinter Camo....though I am loving the new VF-25!

Ready for launch!

Dobber, no matter how many times I looked at your customised SV-51, it is STILL absolutely gorgeous!!!

[Raptor One]

Awesome pics guys.

My favourite is dedicated to the unsung heroes of Space War I.

Gotta love that chocolate.

[Dobber]

Dobber, no matter how many times I looked at your customised SV-51, it is STILL absolutely gorgeous!!!

Why thank you.

[MacrossJunkie]

Yeah, that custom scheme is great. Yamato really should have made a release based on it.

[Mog]

Yep, the infamous and awesome "Dobber scheme," bitches!

Still looks lovely, even after all these years!

But your 1/60 SV-51 in splinter camo is on another whole level!!!

If I owned it, it would instantly go to Nº 1

[Kyp Durron]

This is without a doubt, the absolute favorite Macross pre-painted model that I own, even over the 1/60 Roy DRYL VF-1S:

It's simply THE MOST anime accurate Valk ever produced, with the only possible exceptions being the VF-27's and YF-29, and upcoming VF-25 2.0 releases, of course.

Note how thin, yet deeply etched the panel lines are...even I don't see a need to panel line this, they're so deeply etched, they look like there's really separate panels making up the fuselage of the aircraft!

I had to repaint the Black in the thrusters on the shield section, apparently, the monkey they had doing mine fell asleep at the wheel and paint template wasn't lined up worth a crap. So I had to remove the factory paint and redo mine. (By hand!) Believe me when I say that my job turned out far better than the half-assed factory applied detail.

Also, in case anyone who doesn't own one didn't know, check out the amazing painted painted on detail on the insides of the wing gloves, and on the lower lip as well! I was very pleasantly surprised by that.

fixed that for you.

[Kyp Durron]

Didn't need fixing, I consider these completed models more than toys, always have.

[areaseven]

I'll stick with this one.

[Graham]

Yamato 1/60 scale VF-19Kai Fire Valkyrie, my current favorite Macross toy, until the Yamato 1/60 scale VF-19S is released later this month

Close second at the moment would be the Bandai 1/60 scale VF-25F Renewal Version (AKA v.2 DX VF-25F).

Yeah, that custom scheme is great. Yamato really should have made a release based on it.

I would have bought one if they had a scheme like that available.
