FINALLY got my W.H.A.M. SDF-1 today after waiting for it well over a month! That was the last time I choose SAL shipping.
I have to say that it looks a lot beter in person than it does in any pictures. The joints are just a little tighter and the flat paint finish looks awesome!
I'm tempted to sell the old one but I think I'll hold on to it untill Yamato produce a bigger version.
Here's some pics of it next to the old version.
The 1/60 Frontier toy won't be part of the SOC line up, just the Chogokin line. They're two different toy lines. Another toy in the Chogokin line you might know about is the Aquarion toy.
If they didn't care about the international fans, why would they give Graham, a "representative" of the non-Japanese fanbase, all the inside info and pre-production samples?
Oooow nice!
I was never much of a Destroid fan but this looks promising. I hope they give it a weathered look.
Thanks saverobotech and Graham for the pics.
Late to the party...Great news!
1/60th scale=W1N!!!!1
I guess this means Yamato won't go through the trouble of acquiring the Mac F license in a couple of years. What's the point with Bandai already doing these toys in Yamato's standard scale?
Sure, I know exactly what to say to my boss. "You have to hire this guy, he's a Macross fan and he collects toys! You can't go wrong with this guy chief!"
I'm sure you'll find a better paying job. Good things come to those who wait work hard.
With the big giant seamline running across the forward fuselage, I doubt we'll get the kite and number tampoed. I hope Yamato found a way around this problem though.
