Last Macross game I played was Macross DYRL shooter for Sega Saturn. This new shooter would be a good time to get back into Macross gaming.

A different kind of Chogokin..
-
Thanks @no3Ljm. Handling these 2 birds & together with the VF-11, with makes me realize again how much thought must have gone into them. A few totally new VFs just for this OVA alone that aren't direct derivative of older valks.

Bayverse Scorponok..

YF-21, another design masterstroke.. with my absolute favorite angle in Fighter..
-
What stuck out most in Kenobi was the anti-climatic Vader reveal.. where's the imperial march theme?! Compare that to his Roque One reveal and this one just sort of fizzles..

Minor shuffle of valks in my display, and the Arcadia YF-19 is being moved a bit. It's always a pleasure to have an Arcadia valk in hand, especially in Fighter they always feel solidly put together. Nevertheless, specific to the YF-19, there are couple of personal peeves: I really like high-speed mode of the YF-19 (using a VF-19 Advance here to stand in). To go from a FSW jet to something that resembles more of a missile is a visually striking transformation, and a mode that somehow doesn't really appear much when googling images of the YF-19 on the net.

Ah finally a longer trailer.. Hopefully it recaptures what made Initial D great. I can see how Fujiwara will make a cameo as an older version of himself, perhaps be one of the final opponents too lol.
-
Start up the VF-1 simulator..
-
May be worth picking it up if it comes up for good price. Just to admire & whoosh it around in Fighter. It was easy decision for me, knowing the issues, as I’m more partial towards Fighter mode of any valk.
-
I like this comparison pic, it is pretty awesome.. I feel, the Toynami box is more like the toy instead and the valk inside is embellishment. It just feels all sorts of wrong, yet probably the best thing that can be done for the awful valk.

In all its shiny plastics glory..

Small chance Bandai will revive the Chogokin 171? As it is, they have not bothered to even release the one from Delta.. I love the Nightmare Plus over the EX, not only for its colors, but the more angular cockpit shape that somehow makes a world of difference. This CF will forever be the toy equivalent of the garage queen lol.. Now I wish I got the Armored pack specific to it, for the MDE and Reaction missiles. Only have Alto's.

Love the bass guitar..

^^ Cool. Always like sunset lighted pics.

I’m not near my copy now, but from memory, the part circled in red just needs to snap into the hole at the neck plate. The circled part is the neck adapter that can be removed from the stem by just sliding it out. Snap that adapter into the neck plate, & then slide the head back in to the adapter. The stem is what allows the head to have some telescopic articulation. It’s just that when you sometimes try to pull the head up, the adapter may detach from the neck plate instead.

More CM's appreciation...

VF-17S powering down for the night..
-
Detail wise for the armor, the transparent pieces for the legs are now clear, instead of the previous release’s blue & red. The UN Spacy kite on left knee is now red on white, instead of white on black. In other words, it will be an exact mini-me Chogokin 1/48 Armor.

Lol I was so fixated with the black, I thought only the yellow accents were changed from a 22. Great work on the whole 21 custom there @Mog. I used to have a 1/55 KO as a kid, in what would be equivalent to the v2 VF-1S Roy low-vis colors. It got lost during a move. I do want to get it now, as I’m slowly moving to picking up older items, precisely for historical significance as you mentioned. I always felt I could pick up one up easily and so was looking at others first like the 1/72 Yammie Mac Plus items. Need to fix this 1/55 hole asap.
-
Yeah the more I get reacquainted with the 17, the more I appreciate its bulkiness. Love the 22 too. Bandai can take their sweet time with the 21, it’ll be sometime they move to the 22 if at all. Yes sir! Lol I was kinda shy of admitting that, since the chunky is so widely agreed to be the best valk.
-
Agreed on this. Yamato 17 is a bit of love-hate. Basically it is quite the polar opposite of the Chogokin 171. Sculpt is neither here nor there on both fighter & battroid, it has next to none tampo details & the legs in Fighter have a strong tendency to detach. Yet the wings stay on properly, the plastics feels very robust, and the heft is likely to be just about the heaviest per sq inch for a valk (I don't have the 1/55 chunky so perhaps that trumps it). And while the Chogokin 171 have detached quite far from the F-117 due to the long nose cone, the Yamato 17 still looks the part.
