sleddogg83 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Does Yamato have any plans for this figure? If so what scale would it be? Quote
AlphaHX Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) 1/48 ... ... ... I wouldnt want to import that! Imagine the shipping cost!!! I dont think I have enuf room for my display case for that. Maybe if I clean a few things up... maybe move out and live in the garage... or in the car. hmm... Edited October 11, 2004 by AlphaHX Quote
F360° Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 What do you shipping cost? Because if it's in 1/48 i'm sure it is a size of a small battle ship and you cruse it back from Japan. you'll need to find a dock for it. If you get attack by aliens on the way back then it'll be all worth it. Quote
ewilen Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Just for the heck of it... A 1/48 scale SDF-1 would be about 25 meters (83 feet) long. A modern tractor-trailer is about 60 feet long. Get building, Yamato... Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 If you had a 1/48 scale SDF, you could live in it. If I were more of a dork I'd do it. Quote
bandit29 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Bu....t gee.. a.. duh...wouldn't a 1/48 SDF-1 be the same size as a 1/48 VF-1...I dunno ? Quote

Godzilla Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Not to be a nay-sayer here but I really doubt the SDF-macross will be made. Why? You can see Yamato slowing down on the Macross releases. Now if they do release it, you can bet I will be in line Also a 1/48 scale Macross SDF would be like having an X-wing 1:1 Scale sitting in your lawn. What would you do with it? Put your 1/48 valks on the Prometheus? How the heck would you transform it? You need a step ladder. anyways, if you build a 1:18 scale Macross, you can live in it. Quote
The_Major Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Meh whats all this talk about 1:48, hah if i want something to live in make it 1:1 that way everyone in MW could pitch in and buy one and we can all live in one giant mass of fandom. Quote
Hikuro Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 LMAO!!!! I'd be in the car pool lane with that! And if some granny got in my way.......MACROSSU CANNON HASHIIN STANDBY! UUUTTTTAAAA!!!! *roast granny while playing country music* AAAAAHHHHH DE CULTURE!!! ................ Quote

VF-1 Battroid Height ~ 0.26 m ~ 26 cm SDF-1 Battroid Height (Ship Length) ~ 25 m ~ 2500 cm did the math. hmm... I think ur still confused. Edited October 11, 2004 by AlphaHX Quote

Greyryder Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 The real question is: How long after they released a Macross, before somebody painted one up in Minmay Guard scheme? Quote

Toonz Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 yes i want a sdf1 i need a sdf1 i ought to have a sdf1 i got to have it! Quote
Stormrider Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 The real question is: How long after they released a Macross, before somebody painted one up in Minmay Guard scheme? I suppose that'd be a question for Devin, who'd have to make the decals for it. Quote

Ido Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Wich SDF-1 Macross? DYRL/M+ or TV series? I'll take only the movie version Quote
Ghadrack Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Better to dredge up an old thread than start a new one for an old topic right? So, I assume that there has been no announcement as far as a Yamato SDF Toy. Has anyone heard anything one way or the other? A year or two ago, there had been some sort of semi-formal announcement or perhaps it was a dinner discussion Graham had with a connection, but I thought the word was that Yamato was actively recruiting a sculptor / Sculptors to make a scale SDF toy. Have any of you information guru's seen any talk of this on insider japanese discussion boards? Is the project still a possibility or is it dead in the water? I really, really, really want a nice quality, highly detailed SDF toy for my collection, and god love em, but the old Bandai versions just aren't quite the level of detail I want. Hell to be honest, if Bandai would make a sharp SDF toy in the Soul of Chogokin line, something along the lines of the battleship Yamato, or the Harlok vessel, I would jump out of my skin to buy one. I hope somebody out there makes something for us. the old Bandai's just don't look right next to the details in the Hasegawa kits and te Yamato 1/48's in my opinion... Quote
Rabidweezil Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah, I'd love a Bandai SOC Macross ship. But for some reason Macross doesn't seem to get any love from Bandai. I mean, even Dunbine has a MG kit, several HG's and 2 MSIA type action figures. But Bandai only seems interested in releasing old stuff, (and didn't even release the 3 most wanted 1/55's in the process) for Macross and can't even put out a nice rendition of the vessel that "Macross" is named after. Yep, a SOC SDF would be the coolest thing,either version...however I just don't think Bandai is interested. Unless, somehow a cameo of the ship ends up in the next Gundam series... Quote
Solscud007 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Its not that easy. Its not like you have the license to make what you want jsut cause youhave macross (liek HG) in japan you need a license for any change. And if BW doesnt say yes nothing you can do about it. Quote
Ghadrack Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 True enough, but both Yamato and Bandai have had licensing agreements with Big West, and most certainly could obtain further licenses if they had the motivation too. Regardless, I was just curious to know if anyone had any info or rumor on the planned Yamato SDF-1. The Bandai SoC SDF-1 was just wishful thinking How frigging sweet would a foot and a half long metal SDF-1 SoC be, owning one would almost be a pre-requisite to calling yourself a Macross fan Quote

do not disturb Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 so yeah, whats the skinney on this? Quote
Fugly Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 What about a 15-18 inch SDF1? That way, it's bigger then a 1/48, but still within reasonable price range, yeah? How big would a SDF1 have to be to in-scale with the KT Kaiyodo figs, out of curiousity? Quote
