This makes me sad. -
What if it's like this:
-
Like this one? Rare (very) valkyrie VF-1S robotech Lansay
-
If it is a T-REX design (at least I suspect it is), why not!

I played with this guy hard in my youth. I broke the right index finger and lost the antenna and heat shield somewhere along the way. The sticker sheet was destroyed when it was boxed in the factory. I'm afraid to transform it into fighter mode for fear of snapping off the backpack or tail fins. I've thought about whitening it, but I think I'll leave it as is. It may not survive disassembly. I'll think of it as "patina."

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
DewPoint replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Initially I thought you were messing with tekering since he got asked that before. Anyways, the short, short background: Way back in the 1980s, Hasbro wanted to sell some transforming robot toys from Japan. These were largely from the Diaclone series of toys. The toys came in 3 flavors: 1:1 scale everyday items that turned into robots, small cars that turned into robots and larger cars that turned into robots. They hired Marvel to help market the toys. Marvel made a comic book series and that led to a TV cartoon series both called "Transformers." -
I don't believe so. Bandai seems to have gone with a Arcadia style hard point for the 1/48. I'm not too sure if it would look right even if someone came up with a low-profile adapter.
-
According to the Arcadia website the 35th anniversary VF-1J is delayed until January.

If you're bold, I say hydraulics and engine detail. Because there has to be an engine in there somewhere! I can't wait to see how you decide to finish this!

Ummmm Lana errr... Nova Satori?

I'm with you. I don't want to start collecting another line. The 1/60 and HMR are where I'm staying. Resisting the pre-order was difficult. But it gets easier by the day. It is looking good though.

Go with your gut or stick to your original purchase plan. Unless going with your gut was your original purchase plan. Then no issues! Blue Phalanx would be nice.

I have Art Major friends, Psychology friends and Anime Fanboy friends. From my experience, these types of discussions and analysis become more about what the individuals discussing the topic gets out it. People pick their favorites characters or events and fantasize about them. They create a form of fan-fiction in their head based on speculation and personal desire. We are talking about children's shows created for profit and what merchandise the stakeholders felt they could sell from it.

I got my order confirmation from CDJapan.

One of those two. I did a search for Hi-Metal R. It didn't pop up until just before I posted.

I wonder if a TV Focker VF-1S would come with a Hikaru pilot figure. I need a Misa in space suit to reenact "Bye-Bye Mars."
-
Limit 1 at AmiAmi. PO madness gonna be that bad?

I kinda thought it was Wednesday or Friday night for most of us. A Monday (Japan time) release is unusual.
