VF-1Guy Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Spring 2005 and all we have seen so far is a sketch? I'm not anticipating seeing this until late 2005 or early 2006. Lately, we've seen prototype pics at least 6 months in advance of the actual release. How long ago did we see the first pic of the VB and VF-0? In any case, I can patiently wait for this one as long as it does eventually come out. This will be a beautiful compliment to the 1/48. Quote
JValk Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 save pennies now, finally get a Hikaru TV VF-1J with GBP armour... Quote
Solscud007 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 looks like a takatoku gbp Hey as a Taka GBP owner I resent that haha. nothing will top the taka GBP NOTHING hahah. But this is close. Quote
bandit29 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Cool. I wonder if this will be sold like the 1/60 version. VF with armor and armor only. The 1/48 will be huge with that armor on it. Quote
xstoys Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 looks like a takatoku gbp Hey as a Taka GBP owner I resent that haha. nothing will top the taka GBP NOTHING hahah. But this is close. Oh, stop bragging already about your "jacked" Taka GBP. Some day it's true owner will hunt you down & take revenge! Quote

Roy's Blues Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I wonder if it will come with the supersized KokKnocker hands? Wonder when Valkyrie-Exchange will put this up on the preorder page? /taps foot impatiently Quote
connor99 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sweet!!! I can finally dress up my NEKKED 1J HIKARU . Thanks for the pic, GRAHAM! Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sweet!!! I can finally dress up my NEKKED 1J HIKARU . Thanks for the pic, GRAHAM! Ditto. Naked Hikaru NO MORE. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 finally!! Some new news!! I am so getting one!! I'm just afraid that godzilla and sithlord might buy them all up before I can get one! Quote
kensei Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Yep thanks Graham! This place is just bliss to me at the moment, I am so deleriously happy! I love this place! And I love Yamato! And I shall express it using my wallet! *looks at wallet*.........uhm.... maybe later. Quote
Majestic Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 AHHHHHHHHHH! God-damn I can't wait for that. I'll probably only spring for the separate GBP set, but I wonder if they would consider a full set, ala' the 1/60 version. A 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru with GBP! It would be upwards of $200, but would be the ultimate set. While I'm wishing, how about a sturdier box with better artwork? Quote
bsu legato Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Quick...somebody put some TV clown hands on that Valk! Those itsy bitsy little appendages nearly disappear under the GBP-1 armor. Quote
rnurmin Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 It's good to hear some update regarding the GBP 1/48. I just hope that Yamato will figure out a way to fit the GBP without removing the nosecone Quote
bigkid24 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Cool. So the 1/48s aren't dead. I guess I'll take one. Quote
do not disturb Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 cool, i guess i'm excited. if it just a larger version of the 1/60 sculpt, i'll only buy one. if they make it better than the somewhat borderline craptastic 1/60 version, i'll buy 2, if not 3. Quote
rocco_77 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 This is most excellent news.... Summer 2005.... very good, I can save for it.. Quote
Nightbat Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 AAAAAAAArrrrghhhhhh, my salary Damn you Yamato!, with my last breath I spit on thee! Quote
Godzilla Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 OMG that is great news. Now I need to get a bunch of them for my VF-1S and VF- 1J Hikarus. So is the CF and 2 seaters around the corner? Quote
Anubis Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Wow, the crotch armor extands all the way to it's KNEES. Quote
Kamion Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 let's hope the crotch armour will STAY on this time. Quote
Hurin Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Selling my taka GBP set just paid off! H Quote
Gabe Q Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Wow, the crotch armor extands all the way to it's KNEES. Valks are well hung. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 AHHHHHH!!!! This is god news My wallet is not very happy Quote
cyde01 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) GREAT! thanks Graham~but I didn't see any text about VF-0S has been cancelled?! I didn't read Japanese, but I DO read Chinese characters in those text, nothing really important. "We introduced 1/100 VF-0S in last issue, now have some news about 1/48 VFs......GBP will be sold separately, release date to be 2005 spring......wait for our next issue for more news...." Gotta prepare some BIG money! what he said. the only thing they say about the vf-0s is they introduced (or had an update on) the 1/100 project that yamato is working on in the last issue. as for the 1/48 GBP parts, it says that these will be released separately as were the fast packs, but that there is a set with a vf-1j included also being planned. it says price is yet to be determined and the tentative release date is spring '05. as far as the likelihood of this being released compared to the yf19fp, yeah this is only a line art drawing, but as far as I know, the yf19fp didn't even get any articles in japanese hobby magazines saying that it was coming, so i think this GBP set is a lot more likely to actually be released than the yf19. i'm pretty sure the only way we even knew that a yf19fp was in the works was because 1. the other mac plus fp valks were released and 2. because graham and noel told us about it. edit: funky grammar Edited November 24, 2004 by cyde01 Quote

Gotta prepare some BIG money! I didn't say that's what the text said. I was just listing some guesses what it might say, as I can't read either Japanese or Chinese. Graham Quote
Graham Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 it will be better in quality but it will also have the same faults as the 1/60 The only 2 faults that the 1/60 really had were: - 1) the front groin armor kept popping off. Hopefully Yamato have learnt their lesson. Anyway, the larger size of the 1/48 should allow for a stronger/better connection. 2) The legs were prone to fall off on the 1/60 when fitted with GBP armor due to the armor preventing the hip pegs from seating sufficiently deep. Obviously, the 1/48 will not have this problem as the legs do not detach. Graham Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Woo-hoo finally some big news on the Toys section-thanks for the heads-up G! I guess its time to get another 1/48 VF-1J... Quote
Valkryie 13 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 OMG!!!!! 1/48 GBP!!! My heart is pounding... My hands are shaking.... ME WANT TWO!!!!! uhmmm hopefully kensei, godzilla, and sithlord spare me some Quote
hirohawa Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Great news. I hope they package it with a 1J or a 1S. Now get to work on the 1/48 VF 1D, Elint and Ostrich dammit! Quote
