A couple of answers!! The VF-1S will definitely have a Skull on the heat shield, The pictures being shown are still either prototype pics or something else, But Max will have the covenant Skull & bones on it!! he's Skull 001 !! And I can't imagine they wouldn't release a Kakizaki VF-1A DYRL & maybe even a TV series version. Time will tell on future releases, but so far since Yamato is 1/60 only now. You'll probably see every Valkyrie made, except maybe an Angel Birds type, no one seems to like that scheme.... I do.

So far the only other Ride-Armor seen is the Ley/Rand type, which should be out pretty soon. But have no fear. Beagle is making a good reputation for its self quickly, The other Ride-Armors will follow soon!! And yellow's will be 1st on my list!!

Me too!!!!!!!

Well I agree that Macross II is a bandai license after all, but since they have no love for it, maybe Yamato would adopt there mecha design's and say what the hell, a VF-2SS+SAP and Metal Siren in 1/60, it would be a huge seller!! You don't have to love the OVA, but the Valkyries are awesome!! And everytime someone bashes Robotech, an angel gets its wings!!

Yeah thats an older clip, I'm sure the guys from Collection DX or some else who can use a camera without the "Blair witch effect" will post a full review shortly!!

You say that now!! Wait til you shell out around $200.00 dollars or so shipped for one to have the arms or shoulders shatter!! Trust me, it will matter that the arms are redesigned or positively fixed!! For without doubt the VF-0's are some the best designed fighters of the Macross series, Its a shame they have this reputation still!! All in 1/60 of course: -VF-4 -VF-2SS -VF-2JA -1/3000 SDF-1 TV & DYRL -some one bashes Robotech -Zentradi battle pods -Zentradi Fighter plane from the TV series (forgot its official name) -More enemy mecha -1/3000 Macross cannon -Metal Siren

I agree, between the tail wings, hands and joints, its the worst part of it. Legs are ok!! But the rear landing by far needs to replaced like on the Beta, I like perfect transformation, but I can live with out it too!! Give me detachable detailed landing gear any day!!!

If they make a VF-0D with all new shatter proof Arms/shoulders, I'll definitely get one!! Then the VF-11B & Beagle ride armor, All 3 1/60 Max Valkyries...... I need to win the lottery!!

Its probably the best dog fight scene of the Macross series in my book!! I never get bored watching it!!

My Friend just got his Maia Alpha about a week ago, after he attempted to transform it and it pretty broke all around, Hands crumbled, joints are all #$#%^!&! up!! so on & so on. ( My Scott Alpha is of better quality) So I know he's up for a refund. A real shame, cool paint scheme!!! At least Toynami admitted they were wrong!!!

As long as the arms & shoulders don't explode!!

I hope to live long enough to see the day!!!

Well when it comes down to Toynami & QC its always been an issue for them. I have all 4 of the MPC Alphas, My Stick/Scott is descent, Rook & Rand are sad & the Shadow/Dark Legioss is ok. But so far lots & lots of people including the guys for Collection DX (who were beyond amazed by its construction!) who have the new MPC Beta/Tread Fighter bomber LOVE IT!! Well built, solid, accurate and above all QC issues free!! aka safe to handle. So who knows maybe the Toynami Cyclones will be as well built and QC issue free!! I mean lets face it, if Toynami can not improve there toy line quality, they'll be out of business!! There are not that many willing to take a bullet for a shotty RT toy now a days, I mean its RT for heaven sakes!! (Someone bashes Robotech) So will see in time if thing get better, But for now I'm saving up for a Beagle version.

I'm working on a Shin Kudo & a Isamu Helmet as we speak.

Wow, She is really pretty. Your lucky to have her as a friend!! I'm debating whether I'm gonna go to Anime Expo this year. I went only once years ago when I was still in LA. ( I regret no going more often) I'm working on a Macross Zero uniform/Helmet, If it comes out like i want it too, I'll post some pics!! Take it easy Hikuro!!

Thanks MT!! I'm also working on some massive booster rockets for this thing. The original design was for 2 huge external boosters to get it off the ground!! Since my series do not rely on Alien technology, I gotta keep it real on this thing get into space!! Its no 6ft Daedalus, but will be fun when its done!! Would you ever try for a 6ft Prometheus?

Any pics handy of your female cast? Or have they been deemed classified?

If i were rich, which would be a major factor for this comment. I would have loved to have the $$$ to buy a complete Viper pilot uniform & helmet!! Namely Grace Parks (Boomer/Athena's) uniform & Starbucks (Kara's)!! Wow, to be wealthy!!

I would recommend www.hlj.com or Hobby Link Japan. Prices are very fair, they don't raoe you on shipping fee's. And very reliable shippers. I have had some really bad experiences with some sellers, many from Ebay. But these guys are really good and honest whether their instock or not. They have a huge selection, so have fun looking!!!

Well that too!!

Vostok 7, I give you props for that posting, Supper funny, Still laughing!!

Awesome, Thanks Miriya!! I'm slowly learning how to use/cut Styrene so eventually these boosters will be well disguised. And a repaint as well!!

Hey koushiro, its good to know others out there have such a deep appreciation for this series. Both the TV series & Movie. When i was kid, Van Nuys Airport still had an active Air National Guard wing there, Mostly C-130's, but still fun to see them fly over. Occasionally a B-52, but that was rare. No real Fighter jets, but was still fun to see come over the house!! Take care!

That is an awesome build!! Love the color, that gun pod is amazing!!

Lots of spare parts over the years!!
