So basically I've drawn and photoshopped together a really nice city battle backdrop, then built by hand and painted some wrecked buildings out of posterboard, and created a city scene for my 1/100 battlepods and my to be collection of hi-metal VF-1's. What I'm wondering is are there any good 1/100 or roughly 1/100 scale destroid figures or models out there? I've got a good hand full of battlepods and only 1 valk so far, but the glaug is on the way and my roy comes out in November, but I need some cannon fodder destroids, help please!

Hm a hi-metal YF-19 that would be as good a quality as my iJ does sound quite awesome.

Hm, maybe it was just me, but the figures I had I used to create scenarios I already knew, but I just wanted to recreate in any way I could, I didn't have starship troopers figs but I had big bugs and Gi Joes. So I guess some imagination, and at the same time no imagination, just pretend play. On another note, anyone have any details or releases for the hi-metal DRYL valks?

I just sold a good majority on craigslist, I now have an 0S, SV-51, and a 1/48 1J, 1A, and 1S. I sold all my figures that are repaints of the same model and kept my favorite color schemes for one of each, oh and the hi-metal 1J I guess, I plan on expanding my collection with more than just repaints of the same macross figures.

But a toy is just a replica of something from a previously created show or form of media, no real imagination there just playing with a figure. Games these days have options, RPG's are much more imaginative then an action figure or huge over-priced toy, I'm in the game industry, I just couldn't stand by.

You mean after the DRYL valks get released? I'm hoping to see 1D, Max TV 1A, Kakizaki TV 1A, a little full vermillion action with my toynami battlepods and upcoming glaug, hell yes.

The hi-metal comes with 2 sets of wings, one completely flat for battroid, and one set comes with hardpoint holes for the missiles. I don't really believe anyone would be picky enough to make the second set of non-missile attachable wings necessary, but, oh wait......

The transformable reviews, I was suckered into a Roy, damnit!!

I just got my friend's SV-51 Ivanov in, it seems fine, granted I'm not transforming his figure. Everything is tight, I unplugged the thighs and they're nice and tight, no wing sag but I didn't put on the boosters, it's still up for grabs on this guy, I'd say go for it if you want one because the price is only going up and they are getting harder to find, and it's pretty obvious they're not re-releasing this guy.

Mine are still all fine, I actually ordered my VF-1J Max from Angolz, excellent price, really insane price actually. His valk is fine, as is Miria's, they were both later releases that came with fast packs, so they're pretty awesome, I'd say grab em while they got em, I really didn't think they'd last at that price.

I want an original Macross monster, the Koenig is really ugly to me.

Agreed, instead of releasing the same valks most people own three times over in different scales and colors give us the valks yamato won't touch, the 0D would be a good start, a VF-4 would be AWESOME. Why do just valks, hi-metal destroids in scale with the valks, hell a hi-metal monster, that would way too effin awesome, then I'd buy a LOT more toynami regults and battle scene it up.

Seconded, I think these hi-metals have the best looking battroid mode of any macross toy available, the other modes are pretty epic as well.

I actually just bought another Ivanov off ebay about and hour ago for a friend, he saw that mine was fine but we'll see, it sucks that this is one of the riskiest valks to get because in my opinion it's one the best looking.

I actually just picked up an SV-51 Ivanov off of tisinc99.com, I'd never ordered from them before and got relatively equal positive and negative complaints, but they were here in the states and the total with shipping was only about $240. The figure itself, absolutely fine, like everyone else said it was never truly reissued, it's just a luck of the draw, granted it's a very expensive luck of the draw. Your call, I got lucky and have to say this thing is easily my favorite valk I own now, it's truly gorgeous next to the VF-0S.

Yea same here, crooked and loose on the right side.

I got a re-issue 0A about a month or so back, it's fine.

No problems what so ever, the only thing I'm wondering is if Bandai will release stand alone fast packs for our Hikaru 1J's as it seems most of the new releases may just come with them.

1- 1/60 SV-51 Ivanov 2- 1/60 VF-11B 3- Hi-Metal VF-1J 4- 1/60 VF-0S 5- 1/48 VF-1J Max

Those super/strike parts are looking WAY better, it's obvious now the 1S we all saw and loathed was a very early prototype.

I'm sure I'll get hate for this, but the VF-22, and the VE-1, they are both quite ugly. The VF-22 overall just looks fat and ugly to me, and the VE-1 has that retarded head.

SV-51 Ivanov, I love this guy. I got a good release, the black scheme and this birds lines make it look just brutal.

Lol, true enough sir, true enough.

Personally I wouldn't get one, I think this specific model is ugly.

Damn I guess I could repaint one of these into TV colors, seeing as how I would do detail in the city part in the legs as it is. I should just wait for a TV release, but must, get, SDF-1, obviously the arms and legs are slightly different, but I'm not one to nerdgasm or rage over tiny details.
