Macross DYRL in 4K UHD with English Subtitles
Dark Skull replied to GGemini's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yup. Preordered! -
And if they do, and then they make one? You can thank me later :P
-
Well, they can make it real easy to take apart the legs so that you could mount it on backwards. Maybe a few screws, no glue used or anything, and just some extra steps in the instructions
-
They were only backwards in the "bot mode" pics lol But yeah, if it were possible, I'd still get one. Just like I'm in for this not-Jetfire.
-
Wasn't Orbot homaged with the 1/48 VF-1A Woodland? Though it would have been better with the 1D valk. Then again, I don't believe Yammie ever put out a 1/48 1D. Though these days, I would think 3Z might do Axoid 1: because they're "Robotech", and 2...they've already got molds for the 1J so it'd just be an easy repaint for them. How many people would buy that? I might Looking up some old pics, they even did an armored VF-1D! Ah the memories...
-
I recently saw a pic of a Kakizaki VF-1S custom (DYRL paint job). It looked real nice too. Now that makes me think of a DYRL Max 1J I think the wildest thing I did was take an extra 1/48 VF-1J stealth and made it into a VF-1S from an extra 25th Anniversary VF-1S junker. It's in my avatar. The only reason why it has a green visor is because I had another VF-1S 1/48 junker and I took the visor/eyes from that and swapped it into the head before I "transplanted" it onto the VF-1J Stealth.
-
I hear ya. Personally I'm leaving mine alone for the most part. But if ToyHax/Reprolabels makes a sticker set for this, I might just get it. And as non-canon as it is I still remember the toy commercials for it
-
That's part of it, but if one were to be a stickler for exactness, you'd also have to remove all the macross emblems, all the jolly rogers (on the super parts and tail fins), then put autobot emblems where they belong, as well as remove the "001" on the wing of this not-Jetfire. Then for any blank spots that may cause to exist, you'd have to find matching red paint to fill in the gaps where there's supposed to be a red stripe, paint the inside of the legs with the design it had/or hope that toyhax/reprolabels makes a sticker set etc etc etc. So in short, it'd be a bit of work to make it look exactly like the G1 toy. It's possible, but I don't know how many folks would go that far.
-
You mean a 3rd one?
-
I dunno...I thought about removing the jolly rogers and the macross emblems. But in the TF world, figures like this are often times referred to by the character they're supposed to be with the "not" in front of it. In this case, this is "not-Jetfire." I figure if I leave all those emblems on there, then the name in my own little head canon is justified...because he's not Jetfire.
-
Will do!
-
Wait...we can buy them now? I'm sorry if this is a real dumb question, but do I just PM @ChristopherB ?
-
Yeah, that way I can live vicariously through y'all as I wait for the deluxe version to come in
-
I'm in it for the deco. And to see how well this compares to the KC version.
-
Tell us about your avatar, name, etc.

Mine is simply from a low lighting pic of a sort of custom 1/48 VF-1S "stealth" made from an extra VF-1J Stealth I had. Nothing fancy. I just made up a head canon for a "Dark Skull Squadron" consisting of experimental stealth VF-1s. -
Hey all, It's been a while. Recently got the DX VT-1 in and luckily, no breakages (that I know of). Put them in a display along with the Arcadia VE-1 PF (waiting for something else to come in soon)
-
I'd like a finished set

Magnets huh? I have some small earth magnets. Maybe I should give that a try when I get mine in...... -
Evolution Toy - VF-2SS Valkyrie I 《MACROSS II ~LOVERS AGAIN~
Dark Skull replied to joppewo's topic in Toys
I'm reading a quick review of this on another board and it would seem he's saying this valkyrie isn't as bad as others have made it out to be. Then again, I have seen people be overly critical and overly nitpicky about toys in the past. When I get mine and it's the same, then yeah, I guess that doesn't surprise me one bit. -

I was thinking some provolone with some mild cheddar to give it some coloring. -

Dark Skull replied to joppewo's topic in Toys
Ya know....despite all the negative remarks about this (which in all honesty is understood), I really can't wait to get this. I just got my shipping notice from Anime Export so I'm waiting for the final invoice! I can't wait to get this. Regardless of how others may feel, I'm excited. -

Dark Skull replied to joppewo's topic in Toys
Same here. If they announce a VF-2JA preorder, it will be so bought. I'm kinda glad it's not being handled by Bandai. For whatever reason, I can never successfully place a preorder for any of their Macross stuff. -

When I watched it way back in the day, I went into it with no expectations -
