Yay! Where does it say that the Legioss will be reissued?
-
You might want to look into ThreeZero's Robo Dou VF-1S for preorder, due out early next year as well. It's more chunky looking compared to the Yamato/Arcadia... might be a better match to display with TFs. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/49682-threezero-robotech-macross-toys/?do=getNewComment I have the Focker 1S on preorder since I've been wanting to get a new and more modern VF-1 toy that isn't overpriced/heavily scalped like the DX Chogokin version. Plus the DX is too big for me at 1/48 since I don't really have any more display space.
-
The HMR VF-0s are very nice looking and solid once you've transformed it to your desired mode. Can be fiddly during transformation. Plastic parts are thinner compared to TF toys which gives it a sleeker look compared to the chunky look of TFs. You can't go wrong with the VF-4 in any scale. The HMR version will be out early next year, I think.
-
Uh oh, indeed! That's some serious scaling oversight. Third straight Bandai valk with absolutely boneheaded decision making.
-
This is one release where I prefer the packaging over the contents. I'm personally waiting for the VF-4 reissue, to go with my 1/60. Definitely. Which is why I also got 2 (w/c I rarely do), like most who got the 0A. A standalone ghost set would definitely be a TWE.

I've been wondering about this possibility... That's it right there. Someone make this happen.
-
Ditto. Definitely lots of cheesy scenes and cheesy acting. Sensei Johnny saying and doing dumb s*** used to be really funny but now it's gotten old. I think the only reason I'm still watching this is coz of nostalgia and to catch a glimpse of Mrs. LaRusso

I'm actually hoping more for HMR versions of the 19, 22 and 11B. One can wish...
-
Yeah, I like the buff look of battroid. Can't wait for the VF-1S that I preordered. But I do hope Threezero will make some improvements, like with the elbow joint and other stuff mentioned here and in some reviews.
-
Some weird poses near the end...
-
Why no Super Packs?
-
Finally got my VF-0As. Very nice figure, but definitely a challenge to transform and pose without pieces popping off left and right.

Lol, made me remember the time I googled "Bandai net worth" out of sheer curiosity.
-
I thought the same thing... looks like it's just dirty. The official pics make it look almost like it's battle-damaged instead of just plain weathered like the old Yamato weathered versions. Kinda like this custom by @winterdyne below which I sorta copied when I had my extremely yellowed VF-1J custom painted.
-
Is that nylon holding up the YF-29? I've done this for Legos but too scared the nylon will eventually damage the plastic due to the weight of the valk. Cool display though.
-
Awesome display @Test_Pilot_2. Drooling... regretting selling my VB-6 coz of cracked joints. feels great to finally have a YF-29 again after all these years. Still trying to decide which mode to display it in, but I'm leaning towards GERWALK.

Wasn't planning on getting any Macross merch and just waiting for my preorders to come in from now until Jan. '25... but $150 shipped for this was just too good to pass up. MISB from a JP store (he upped the price as soon as mine shipped out ). As a huge Mac+ and Isamu fan, I've been eyeing this for years, but the one's I've seen locally were just too overpriced. There are apparently a lot of these popping up on JP online stores and on Madarake. Guess the scalpers finally gave up on this or l just got lucky. And for a 10+ year old toy, this one comes with an extra head laser.

You one-upped @graphic revolt! Pants are on backwards in both GERWALK and Battroid modes I'll add this for extra giggles ... but good, honest (and sometimes funny) review nonetheless:
-
I too prefer Bandai's YF-19 specifically because of the no-gap chest in battroid (and the shield-integrated cover and no extra bits for the back of the thighs). What's most puzzling to me is that the Yamato version was there for them to copy what works and that this was designed almost at the same time as the HG version. Did the design team for the DX suffer some kind of temporary blindness or something? They got the legs right, though.
-
OMG!
-
Posted by @Actar on the previous page. And it was, rather roughly, removed in one of the previously posted youtube reviews.
-
At least it had corner protectors on it. Wait, those corner protectors should be on the toy box, doh.
-
i was gonna say that GERWALK mode looks good but then read your post and realized the 21's pants are on backwards.
-
Lol, the reviewer manhandled the antenna when he removed it and it didn't break. Makes me think that someone at the factory is punking Macross collectors
-
VF-1J finally gets to relax after all the posing for photos in the other thread lol
