dnd - Nothing like this has occured nor am I stating or implying this is anything like what I have created. This is completely Yamato's interpretation of the VF-1D, based on their ability to go off ambiguous line-art. QuinJester - Thanks for looking out. Let's all keep calm and be civil while were at it.

You can't go wrong at that price.

Another thing to note on the 1/60 is the chest. The hump will be much longer and nowhere near the lineart references. I really wish Yamato would have designed this new 1/60 as a ONE seater platform. It's not like Graham doesn't have pics of what should be done to make it work properly, as a two seater.

The only way you could make the cockpit accomodate two pilots is by elongating the canopy forward just behind the antiglare sheild and back to where the hinge on the a standard VF-1 would be. Believe me it works this way.

And kiss your wallet goodbye! Congrats!

That looks pretty good in battroid, but let's wait to see the final product. I just hope the pilots aren't crammed inside the canopy (meaning we'd have amputee pilots).

I'm working on something totally new.

That's about right, $40.00 seems to be the standard for a 1/48 from HLJ. I bought some a while back. For the price their being sold for, it's a steal for the purchaser.

I would like one of each please!!!

Shhhh, you'll blow his cover as a co-conspirator.

Hmmm.. Battroid - Like most everything but that damn giraffe neck. It's the only part that keeps killing it for me. GERWALK - This is picture perfect. Fighter - Nice, but I still prefer the 1/48 fighter over this. Likes: Telescoping head. Double jointed elbows. Telescoping knees. Spectra sheen canopy. Hands. Dislikes: Detachable escape pod. Legs (a bit slender). Wrists (shape is kind of weird). Head (a tad on the small side). Neck.....don't get me started. Still, I want to own at least one.

Definitely not a drawing. Two items that give it away as a Hasegawa model: 1. Ultra skinny feet. 2. Ball jointed thumbs.

Read two posts up.

Well you might get lucky and have it released to the masses in the V.2 1/60. But then again, that would be yet another slap in the face. Either way, it still looks as though this might just be sprayed on paint overall and have the markings screwed up like on some of the WS Roy(s). Just who is 111? I thought Max was 102 in the TV SDFM.

A bit harsh... I would think this is in direct response to the mass appeal of TV Max. I personally would NOT want Yamato to make any exclusives for the V.2 1/60, I'd much rather they keep moving forward with the 1/48s.

Support the Valkyrie Exchange!! Great pricing and excellent shipping!! And let's not forget SUPERB customer service that is second to none.

It's not a new mold just a custom chop job that might be the end result for these exclusives. We all know far too well that Yamato would not take the financial plunge just recreate the DYRL head to TV goodness. Nonetheless, I still like it. It looks pretty damn good.

Wow Yamato actually did their own version of the TV VF-1A head!!!!

I totally agree with you. I think Graham could have at least recommended they do this. It's not like it's impossible, it just takes a little more effort on Yamato's part.

I signed up about two months ago and have yet to see a single mag. Could be that since my address is from the US that I get nothing. On the other hand I keep getting updates of things to come.

That looks really nice wickedpr1nce. Great job!! Can you post pics of it in GERWALK mode?

Hey this Con needs a "dance" contest.... Nyan Nyan Dance

Ha, ha, ha!! This is just too funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Those look awesome!! You should start your own thread for custom PS works on toys and models. That would be a great thread.

Damn, that's awesome. Are those Italeri figs and support vehicles? Or racasted parts from Verlinden?
