I wish some enterprising 3D artiste would release a "The Many Helmets of Macross" series in 1/4 scale.....

LOL...fair enough.....as long as you tell me when the "HLJ clearance sale" for it starts....not 3 days after Arcadia announces its "re-organization" in January 2015 and the panic sales begin!!!!

Well....Yamato/Arcadia seems to not like re-issuing "combo" sets.....but a re-issue of a VF-4G with OPTION parts and LED lighting and a coupon for FREE FB2012 version mail-in is surely right around the corner!!!

Love hurts?

Two new covers? VF-27 with super packs...timely!

Another one sells..... Yamato 1/60 VF-11C: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/173288081

True price or just the results of bidding war gone too far? You be the judge!

Also reminds me of the 1/20000 SDF-1 cruiser mode kit that comes with the ARII Zentradi capital ship kits....the Prometheus and Daedelus "arms" swing out on those mini SDF-1 kits too....

Another vintage IMAI promo poster.....

So many small parts involved....a production line assembly video of a VF being built at the factory must be pretty interesting to watch from start to finish....wonder if Yamato/Arcadia has one of those lying around....

ouch!

...or just copy the "gimmicks" from the 1/48....done! Everyone is happy!.......maybe.....

Anyone in Japan going to the Genga Exhibition? If so, can you help me get this postcard book....will gladly pay ahead of time...thanks!

We sure don't...but i think the logic behind it is that Arcadia needs a "V3" to appear as if their PT Valk is "different" from Yamato's V2.... The only thing I don't buy about this argument is that wouldn't that also entail needing to "retool" the molds for all other VF's if they are to be re-released??? Do we really need a VF-19 V2??? a VF-17 V2? a VF-4 V2????? Maybe that is the hold up?

Canopy doesn't swing open????

Maybe it looks off due to the scale they decided to go with.....perhaps a 1/55 or 1/48 DX will better accommodate their "gimmicks"....but if this goofy thing doesn't sell.....that possibility may start fading away.... In Arcadia we trust!!! Right?....Right!?!?!?

Straighten out the legs and it reminds me of the skinny legged Kaiyodo mini transformable figs.....maybe whoever set it up did a bad job....

maybe they were going for the 80's retro look?
