Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Mommar replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
It's already been pointed out that the lineart anime52k8 posted is not official and isn't accurate. Totally right, I think it's a brilliant idea and they should do it. -
Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Mommar replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
In the anime I'm not fond of that Gerwalk at all. Based on the two Gerwalk Stances (arms up and down) I almost prefer that mode to the other two on this toy though. I expected this to be the first toy I would keep primarily in Fighter or Battroid because I don't like it's Gerwalk configuration but I'm not getting that feeling with these prototype pics. I really think that side-profile shot is suffering from the fact it's a resin kit that doesn't hold together well. You can see huge gaps in the shoulder area. The nose is obviously dislodged and drooping in multiple spots. It also appears the legs are not attached at the back and are hanging away from the backpack as well. I think it will look a lot tighter (obviously still a little chunky) in fighter mode with the final toy. -

Based on that prototype pic you can also tell that it's really isn't holding together that well either. Look at all of those seems and the whole front of it looks like it's dropping. Tighten up those joints and I bet that will make it look more slim. -
I love my two bright white VF-11C's. It has very clean lines. I never got a B because I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme. I would get a VFX-2 Jolly Rogers Scheme as well as a Max and Milia if they made them though.
-
I'm with Dobber. That 11C at almost $200 killed its chances.
-
I'd prefer if they made an M3 version and had a Max variant as well. Though that's because I'm more partial to blue than red.
-
Then you deserve this a hell of a lot more than I do. I never liked (and still don't) Macross 7 and just recently, because of the Master File book, was able to appreciate this design. It's pretty much just convenient for me this is coming now. The real celebration is for all of you guys.

I'm with Eugimon, I'd rather have Protect Armor.
-
I don't know what sort of a grey you were picturing but I think you're right that the bright white is the weakest link on the fighter. That blue is gorgeous and the yellow is matched really well with it. Better than I thought it would be. But the white makes the head look a little too cheap-toy-like.

Yes, it appears they say there's a remote possibility of a 17 Trainer and what looks like a retrofitted or reworked 11?
-
Holy crap am I glad I preordered this!!! Dammit that blue is SEXY.
-
I couldn't get in on this either unfortunately but I can't wait to see others finished modes.
-
I can't wait for this release. I've got my one little Hi-Metal Vf-19 but to be honest I've never been too happy with it. Its Gerwalk is just awful looking. Plus I like the fact this release appears to have longer versions of the wings.
-
I especially like this Valk because its Gerwalk has got a VF-1/11/19 hybrid look going. It's Battroid, while goofy looking in the lineart, really benefits from some real world proportions on those models too.
-
Being a fan of all three modes that would not suffice for me. It's too floppy in Gerwalk/Battroid for me to be happy with it.

I must be one of the few who really doesn't care for the way the armor looks on these things.

They've already got a big chunk of it done with that Pachinko machine...

Mommar replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
I see what you mean now. Yeah, that would be pretty cool. I would be far more interested in Battle 7 or Battle Galaxy then the Macross Quarter (which I find a stupid/lazy design.) I actually really love how the Northamptons from Mac 7 look even though they aren't of the transforming variety. I'd buy on in scale with the other You always manage to sex up that Gerwalk mode. -
That's precisely my feeling. I don't give a crap who the pilot is if I like the way the Valk looks. The pilot can be whoever I want to. Every single Valk I own could be simultaneously piloted by Bigger Johnson for all I care.

Why do you want them to come out with a new carrier? I thought the first one reviewed very well. -

Mommar replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I like the colors you chose. Especially that subdued yellow. Unfortunately I'm afraid it's going to be more of a bright yellow like what we see on the VF-19S. -
That's a good point and I hadn't considered that before pre-ordering at amiami.

I'm going to roll dice and see if they release an armored version later.

According to this lineart those extra long slots are accurate.

It looks like from the angle of the ankles it's pretty sturdy in that pose even as low as the nose is. Is that the case? That looks just like any classic, deep A-stance I can think of for a 19 in Gerwalk. I'm not sure what the issue with the ankles are in that mode. I could see some fancier positions in Battroid being an issue however.
