Manji Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Okay, my thinking is that with the release of the VT-1 and VE-1 Yamato is more or less finished with the 1/60 VF-1 line...so, lets look back...which of the above captured your heart the most...just curious... For me it would be the VF-1D. I never even really cared for this variant, but upon receiving it really grew a fondness for it...second to that would probably be the...oh wait...the rules are choose only one B) I had to group the two different releases of the VF-1S and the Cannon Fodder into one group to keep the choices at 10...sorry...and if I forgot any, sorry for that as well... If this has already been done and I somehow missed it - Mods feel free to delete this poll, torture, publicly humiliate me, or whatever... Quote
Weaseldancer Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I'd have to say the VE-1 is my current favorite closely followed by the Canon Fodder. CF's need love too! Quote
scand Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 While looking over each of my Yamato's. I've got atleast one of each. I don't have a favorite. They are all equally impresive in there on rights. Each different 1/60 to me represents various memorable scenes from DYRL or SDF Macross. For instance When I look at DYRL Max I recall a Zentran getting torn to shreds with bare mechanical hands, Roy's strike within the rings of Saturn, or Max and Millia on the deck of the factory satellite. Of course, I can't forget, my two CFs which brings the image of the decapitated brownie with the dead pilot floating in it. So my Yamato's for me represent the scenes of Macross that I'm so fond of. It's so hard to have a favorite! I did However vote for the VE-1. Out of all it is the most unique and I'm quite fond of it right now. Plus, I wanted to read every body elses votes. Quote
drifand Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 (edited) Technically, the M&Ms were the best of the lot with all the incorporated fixes and a beautiful paint job. But my vote goes to the Hikaru 1J - most iconic of the TV-series and still comes with those arm covers to allow an almost picture-perfect display in Battroid mode. Couldn't care less for the FPs though. The 1S head looked slightly squashed and the various 1As had problems in other areas. To me, the 1D, VE-1 and VT-1 are semi-crippled due to problems with the newer chestplates and change in proportions. A Valk that can't hold a mode properly just ain't right in my book.

MicronianDevil Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I really like my 1/60 Max DYRL 1A. That one has to be my favorite so far. Quote
Bub Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Null vote. Not that all the valks look the same. If a Hikaru Strike was released, I guess I'd vote for it. (ofcourse, I'll buy it first) Quote
ewilen Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I have the Hikaru VF-1J and none of the others, so for now at least it's my favorite. I like the head, like the paint job, like what it stands for in terms of being the Valk Hikaru grew up in. I probably would have gotten it even without the FP, but that's a nice bonus. If I ever get a Roy Strike, a VF-1D, or a TRU brownie, the FP will give me some more display options. Quote
Nightbat Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Null Vote I like em all an I still need to get the VT and VE Quote
blugts Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I had to go with the Hikaru Super cause it was my 1st Yammie, made my jaw drop, and made me a Yammie collector! Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Max -1J!!! this is a Valk i had waited all my life to own! Quote
Just Gundam Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I like all 1/60's with FP equally, even though now I own Hikaru's 1J only. Hmm, none of the poll choices fit me ... Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 my 1st 1/60 was the 1a Max, it is my favorite one. More have joined and gave same satisfaction but max was the first to feed the valkaddiction. Quote
Druna Skass Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 The CF, I can customize it without having to repaint it. I could just slap on some decals, I ended up putting the Mobius emblem, and the numbered it 118 from Ace Combat 4 and I threw on a set of shark's mouths for fun. Quote
ewilen Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Any pictures? I've wanted to make a 1S with shark's mouth (and jungle camo) from a carded bootleg... Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I gotta go with my very first Yammie EVER (Maximillian Jenius' VF-1A). I was going to vote for either the Super or Strike, but my package from Mylene' is taking a VERY (emphasis on the very) long time to get here. <_< B) Quote
Batou Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I have to go with either the Max/Millia VF-1J's. They have all the improvements and just absolutely beautiful color schemes. Since I had to pick one, Millia's got my vote, but they're pretty much equal in my eyes. After that, it'd have to be the VF-1D, believe it or not. That's pretty strange, as I was never really a big fan of the 'D, but after penning in the panel lines and stickering her up, she's really turned into one of the most eye catching valks I have. Quote
Rune Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 My favorite is the Hikaru VF-1J super. I really dig the color scheme of it.Can't wait for the 1/48 version. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Max -1J!!! this is a Valk i had waited all my life to own! That pretty much sums it up for me too, athough the VF-1S Strike is a very close second. -b. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Tough one here, can´t decide which one is my favorite. I own all of them except for the VE-1 and VT-1 (which are on the way thanks to Kevin) and they´re all great!!! Quote
Mechafan Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 The Strike Roy would be first then the VF-1D. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 "Hiiikaaarruuu! *hic*" Boy, this poll sure is becoming one-sided, the VF-1J Hikaru Super sure is popular (guess it should be a 'no sh!t answer since he was the star ) It seems like most respondents like the mechs from the established heros of the series. And there is certainly no surprise with the VF-1D being a close third, as Yamato is the only company to actually produce this model. But folks, come on show Max some luv!! Quote
Manji Posted September 21, 2003 Author Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) I'm surprised, with all the love I hear on this board for the Cannon Fodder it has received so few votes...expected it (them in this case) to have done better... *edit - spelling* Edited September 21, 2003 by Manji Quote
Druna Skass Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Any pictures? I've wanted to make a 1S with shark's mouth (and jungle camo) from a carded bootleg... Here you go... Quote
waylandcool Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I like the VF-1S Stirke. No contest there. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 DAMN THAT LOOKS KOO! NICE JOB Druna Skass!!!! Quote
Graham Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Hmm....tough choice. The VF-1Js (Hikaru, Max & Millia) are beautiful toys with great head sculpts and nice paint jobs, but in the end I chose the VT-1. It just looks so nice in fighter mode with the FPs and it locks together so solidly. Graham Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 (edited) I like the 2 seat VF-1D Trainer. The paint job on that thing reminds me of my favorite fighter of all time...the F-15 Eagle (the YF-15 developmental fighter had an orange scheme). now...this one reminds me of the VF-1A Valks(kinda anyway): This is one paint scheme I'm waiting for.err...except for the white nose cone! Low viz paint schemes: Edited September 22, 2003 by 91WhiskeyM6 Quote
Skull Hunter Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I choose the Hikaru VF-1J Strike. Great overall look and awesome head sculpt. Quote
Blaine23 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 For me, the nostalgic and personal value of finally having a VF-1D toy would normally be my hands down pick. But it's hard to deny that of the 1/60 valks I've bought than any of them were as well made and just plain perfect as the VF-1J Super. It just seems like Yamato did their best job on that one. Quote
ewilen Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Yup, that shark's mouth Valk looks nice, but what I'd really like to see is something like that jungle camo F-111 with a red shark's mouth. Something a bit like this: So ugly it's beautiful! Quote
bandit29 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 (edited) Despite my Super VF-1J Hikaru breaking its hip joint twice(the original leg and its replacement) I'd say it looks the best and is my favorite. The cannon fodders from Yamato are crap. I owned 2 TRU and 2 regulars and they were all garbage. Yamato can't even get the colors right. The TRU was puke green/brown and the regulars were tan.
