Absolutely....but why shoot down a simple idea or desire to see something by using pure speculation and personal opinion.... We don't know what Bandai will or won't do with this line yet....all we know is this is the same company that released V1 Frontier valks....then gave us the renewal...I don't think we should underestimate what Bandai can do at any scale.....In the end it seems your concern is not whether Bandai can do it but rather if they should do it....thus increasing the price...doubling the price?...only Bandai would know......at any rate a valid concern....I personally would want the best toy with as many gimmicks they can successfully pull off while delivering a solid toy...if that includes a pilot....great....if not....It's still an insta-buy for me....
-
One MW member dared to voice his desire for a pilot and folks get all bent out of shape.......just another day on the interwebs!
-
not sure how much weight a small plastic or rubber figurine would add to a hollowed-out Regult "pod" cockpit...just add more "Hi-Metal" to the legs and/or feet....
-
But if the toy is designed properly and with the gimmick of including a pilot right from the start, it would work, no? Just because Yamato was not able to do it, does not mean it can't be done by someone else. Also, Yamato never tried to build a Regult Toy....they made a kit. More gimmicks = More epic........if done right..........the only downside to that would be price.

I'm ok with shorter Zentrans......It's all about framing the shot and perspective anyways

That would be a cool gimmick!

1) Since you mentioned that you really like the Frontier valks....then my advice would be to stick with Frontier valks......most are readily available and at prices close to MSRP.....if you decide that you must have all the other valks.....then accept that the hobby will manage YOU! 2) The only way a sold out valk's current market price will come down is if a re-release is announced or if it wasn't that popular to begin with.....sadly, that no longer is happening with Arcadia valks as they are produced at much lower quantities than they were during the Yamato days..... 3) If you had $350.....I'd go for the VF-0D...I am pretty sure it will not get a second release any time soon and will probably be selling for $400-450 by next year (see YF-19)....any YF-29 is easy to find and the prices have seemed to stabilize recently.....However, if you want to focus on one line or show....get the YF-29...or save your cash for another year or so and get the latest valks from Macross Delta!!!

You're halfway there!

You'll need to settle with some "badguys"....

Someone told me where you can get one done....

You see.....companies have been getting the colors wrong on stuff forever! However, I think Arcadia is screwing up intentionally!
-
great...not another SD valk!!!

Do you prefer TV or DYRL paint scheme?

I'm only providing a possible explanation to the OP's source of his ideas regarding the valk "colors"....nothing more, nothing less ...and yet with all the advances in OT...they still can't formulate anti-weathering paint! Guess none of the OT budget went into advancing chemical engineering!!! -
Thanks Marzan!.....the 80's SDFM merchandising machine was prolific, only the MacF one can rival it........just when I think I am "done"....somethings pops up that I have never seen....keeps collecting Macross interesting!

maybe from the Takani, Tenjin and other various valkyrie illustrations?
