For a second I thought there was more Macross II stuff coming out from another company, which would be more than welcomed by me.

I think Toy Revolution might have something to say about that.

Who??? Did you mean Evolution Toys perhaps or is there another company out there? Need more MacII products from anywhere.

Nice price for the YF-19. Would love to pick that up but not in the 48US. I expect it to sell fast!

That's page 8 with examples of different colors and a youtube video of how to replace the shoulders but it's not working for some reason. There's also a link to Anymoon's guide of replacing the shoulders.

Start of thread

All I can say is that the back of that Sv-262 has a bunch of flaps that remind me of the VB-6 quite a bit. Would be interesting if the wings actually become the legs, and those big nozzle halves we see flip around to become the heels.

The 262 is looking a lot more finished than the VF-31 though.

I think the wing parts closest to the inner gold near the fuselage becomes the legs, The big nozzle halves tuck into those flaps on the end, or they split again with the gold front ones to the front and the blue portion behind as the heels kinda like the Legios. There is also a semi recessed gunpod(?) with a fin on the underside.

Try asking Murphy. He has a gallery with the parts. I think he said he used paper clips for the rods (maybe they're 1.5mm) and it looks like you need screws and washers though I don't know what size.

You need basic modelling supplies like glue, sanding paper. Then the rods for the missile pods. If you want to paint it then whatever paint colors. I think that's it.

I love that Bandai has all of these different options for us on display but until I see an official product release announcement I'll wait patiently. I don't wanna hype myself with all these previews only to find that some might turn into vaporware.

I will give whoever that is mad props for trying. Valks and Cherry blossom tree wallpaper decor does not go well.

Just like the 3D Ranka/Sheryl Holo thing? Because they would mesmerize and hypnotize me and take over the world. Plus I'd rather see real people in concert. Besides that you would have to tie them in somehow to one of the series.

I like those clear adapters holding the VF-31. Less distracting to me.

What is the clear stand for? Balance?

Approximate size comparison between the Yamato 1/3000 and Bandai 1/1800

That Bandai one is HUGE if that's to scale. Also, the Yamato one looks like it had a hard night and just woke up.

Bridge bunny, I think I saw your icon's mech in the first Frontier movie after a clash onboard the Frontier with a Vajra.

Does it have a name?

Wouldn't be a destroid, right?

Yeah it's the Cheyenne work destroid one of my favorite unappreciated mech. Btw, Bridge bunny is one of the rank (title) according to the amount of posts you have. Everyone's names are in the blue/grey area. Like your rank is Cannon Fodder but your name is Mazinger. Just thought I'd point it out because it gets confusing trying to figure out who people are replying to with peeps of the same ranks.

NO what if the var symdrome transform the girls into valks??

Wait, wait!

What if the whole premise of this Delta anime is that the valks themselves transforms into girls?!

Interesting. Kinda like Arpeggio of blue steel mixed w/ AKB0048?

OMG! I can see my whole room converted into a huge Macross diorama with valks swishing all over the place from the roof and the walls! Need those effects parts like in the Frontier display ASAP! Need to paint one wall daylight sky ,one wall dusk/dawn, one wall and roof space themed with starlights.

can we just talk for a second how this is basically a variable figher version of a SAAB Draken, and is therefore the most awesome thing they could possibly include in a Macross series? Can David get in here to back me up on this?

*snip*

I thought the lead was blue and gold? j/k We just need a Shin Kazama type guest appearance now.

MORE TOYS!

Love all those effects parts in the Frontier diorama!

This SDF-1 must've been lifting all this time. It's looks thicker. Especially around the biceps.

Today in Japan 10/30. All those new infos popping up must be part of it too I reckon.

The best part of this things are Bandai's prices are far better than Arcadia's!!!!

The worst part is Bandai's general release ordering is a nightmare.

Bandai is not teasing a 1/60 YF-19, the title refers to the giant SDF-1 and then it says: "Also 1/100 Valkyrie II & VF-4, 1/60 YF-19 & Macross Delta fighters".

Animenewsnetwork provides links and information for all those releases/series. The 1/100 Valkyrie II is clearly the Evolution Toys one.

In its larger 1/60-scale DX Chōgōkin line, Bandai will offer:

Macross Plus: YF-19

Macross 7: VF-19 Custom Excalibur (Basara Nekki Special)

To me, there is a difference between teasing and will offer. Hopefully the author did the fact checking before putting out this article. Hard to find it credible when he says the largest toy of the Macross spaceship was only 1/3000 or is the 1/2000 not considered a toy but a model kit?

I wonder why they took off the pod in Battroid?

If it's true then they're also doing a Basara in DX

I can't see the last 3 but it seems each of them has their unit ranking ( vf marking?).

Edit: Oops. Even the VF-31's have unit ranks.

Just realised the 262's variations arent that visible...seems like its still a Work in progress...

sv-262_poster.jpg

Or .....drumroll....there arent any more variations!

The only variation (besides color and insignia's) I see is the Lead one has pointed front wing tips and the others do not. Also, the 2 VF-31's with Insignia's also have double head lasers.
