    The reason Yamato discontinued the rainbow finish to the canopies is because they were not satisfied with the quality of the finish as it was found that on a small percentage, cracking and flaking would occur. Graham

Yeah, I'm not putting alcohol anywhere near mine, I don't want to risk accidently rubbing off the black panit on the canopy frame. As I mentioned, using dish washing detergent seems to work fine and won't harm the paint. Graham

    This is now one of my favorite VF toys. I far prefer the look to the Alto version. Strange, when I first saw the pics online, I hated it. But in person, it's fantastic. Pilot sculpt still sucks though. Bandai could really learn from Yamato regarding pilot figures. Graham

    Well, one of my lower level contacts got back to me, he confirmed it is still the same CEO, the company hasn't been sold, they want to diversify apparently. But my contact didn't know whether they will carry on with 1/60 PV Macross toys. Waiting for someone higher up the food chain to get back to me. Grahm

    Macross 30

    Graham replied to Tochiro's topic in Games

    Always nice to see Macross 7 footage. I sure hope Gamlin and VF-17D/S is unlockable as a playable pilot and mecha. Hope Gamlin, Max & Milia are not just in the game as brainwashed bad guys Would be nice if these Super Dimensional Seminars showed more actual gameplay. Graham

    Episode 17 started really well, I thought we were gonna get a full-on battle episode with Clones liberating a planet from Seperatist, but it quickly went down hill when Anakin and Ahsoka got recalled to the Jedi temple and it turned into a CSI type 'who done it' episode Yes, the CSI stuff was well done visually, but damn it I wanted a large scale battle with Clones slagging droids.

    Well, once the CNY holiday is over here and shops reopen, I'm scouring them for whatever I can find. Graham

    Oh well, if this is Yamato's swansong, it's a great way to go out. Fantastic design and engineering, possibly only equaled only by their excellent VF-19 series toys. Graham

    Have emailed my contact to ask about the future off variable Macross VF toys. Let's see if I get a reply. Graham

    I'm not a huge fan of the VF-4's battroid mode either. Graham

    So the answer to this thread title is now "nothing". Graham

    Yes, did read. No mention of new PV 1/60 VF toys. Not even any existing VFs on display at their booth. And we all know how well Hikaru dolls sell, ask Noel. I hope they are not going the 'dolls are easier and cheaper to produce route' and giving up on transforming VFs. Graham

    Hope I'm wrong and I'll attempt to find out. I wanted my VF-17S Milia, as well as the other three things that I knew were planned. Sorry, I'm a VF guy, mandolls just don't cut it for me. Graham

    Very sad to see Yamato go. Really the end of an era Like many of us here, I've been collecting their Macross toys since their first 1/72 YF-19 release and I've had the added benefit of having good friends in the company. Although in they past year communication has been spotty. This name change is a complete surprise to me. Any sort of corporate rebranding, renaming or restructuring is always a worrying sign IMO. And if the're were no new or even old transforming Macross toys at the Acadia booth or website, that is further cause for concern Hope they haven't given up on transforming Macross toys as being too difficult, too expensive, etc. Graham

    I've got a bad feeling about this. Hope I'm wrong. Graham

    Damn, VF-17S beaten by VF-2SS Graham

    Just experimenting and found that a wet cotton bud (q-tip) and dish washing liquid (detergent) seems to work pretty well Graham

    Can somebody remind me what is the easiest and safest way to remove the rainbow tint finish from Yamato 1/60 VF-1 v2 canopies? I was just checking my v2 VF-1 toys and noticed two (VF-1A Hikaru and VF-1S low-vis Focker) where the rainbow finish is cracking and flaking off. Graham

    With all the recent posts and pics of the VF-4G, VF-17D and VF-19P in the other threads, it's easy to overlook and forget just how awesome a toy the v.2 1/60 VF-1 really is. Despite being an older toy, it still has outstanding design, engineering and details. The current 30th anniversary version with improved and easier crotch locking, updated shoulder hinges, clear canopy and option parts is the definitive VF-1 toy IMO. Graham

    this a 1/60 v2.0?

    Graham replied to Lightning's topic in Toys

    Used Nippon Yassan many times and yes they are legit. Graham

    I applied a thin film of super glue to the missile tabs and let it dry before putting the missiles back on. The missiles while still removable are now much more secure. Graham

    quote name="Keith" post="1019980" timestamp="1360202227"] There was an episode with a clone, during the droid arc Yes, a single episode, with Clone Commando Gregor and what are we now, 15 or 16 episode into the season already. Graham
  24. Graham
    Still wishing for more Clone action. This season has again been pretty much The Clone(less) Wars. Graham

    1/60 DYRL Hikaru VF-1S is white/grey. All the DYRL VF-1S/VF-1A are white/grey Only the TV versions use the bright white plastic, e.g. TV VF-1S Focker and TV VF-1J Hikaru. Hikaru's DYRL VF-1A is callsign 011. Hikaru's DYRL VF-1S is callsign 001. Graham
