Guppy Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 I was in shanghai last week visiting sebastian and we found this little gem. I had to share it. I love the creative touches with the multiple skulls on the tail fins and the use of orange, silver and grey on the back. Quote
do not disturb Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 thats even worse than the galaxy defender. its hideous i say! Quote
yellowlightman Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 I like the skulls on the tail fin. Very punk rock. Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I want it..... it's so ammusingly ugly. What's in the blister next to it? Quote
lt.actionjackson Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 What's in the blister next to it I don't know what it is, but it looks like one of it's weapons is a very menacing shovel. Quote
Graham Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 The grey color 'Low Vis' FAST Packs are kinda neat though. Graham Quote
Guppy Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 The grey color 'Low Vis' FAST Packs are kinda neat though.Graham Unfortunately the pic doesn't show it, but the plastic is so bad, it looks as strong as wafer biscuits. if you tapped it with a pen it would crack. I wonder if any macross collectors out there collect super ugly valks..? Like a 'chamber of horrors' shelf? - the MPC's would be a must. Quote
robopimp Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I prefer that gunpod & grey/silver set of fastpacks compared to the previous blue ones I'm so used to seeing everywhere. I gotta admit I don't like the way it comes painted and sealed with the unecessary stickers which are poorly applied and is just crap anyways. Butt ugly jumbo sized packaging that just takes up way too much space than it should if one chooses to keep theirs sealed. So many cons over pros here and the funny thing is if I seen those somewhere for $5-10 ea. I'd probably grab a few to take home even though I thought it was a janky ko/ rendition of the VF-1S. That's just sick ain't it?! That's how I know I'm a Macross fool!!!!!!!!!! Ain't that a b!t<#!!! LOL Quote
Sebastian Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 In fact I just cant understand why the chinese guys have such bad taste. Looks like they just love hugly paint schemes. Not even my kid would be interested in that Valk. Quote
Impreszive Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 God. That was like the time I ate bad Chinese food...... Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I wonder if any macross collectors out there collect super ugly valks..? Like a 'chamber of horrors' shelf? You hear that, Xstoys? Quote
kanata67 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I wonder if any macross collectors out there collect super ugly valks..? Like a 'chamber of horrors' shelf? You hear that, Xstoys? Xstoys wasn't the only one to hear I want one of these now to. It's so ugly I don't need to change a thing Quote
jardann Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I think this one's been beaten even more with the ugly stick! It's from this ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5965793194&rd=1 Who loves purple!!! Quote
jardann Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Here's the package! It's almost the same, but with hideous orange accents and purple fast packs. Quote
Godzilla Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I think this one's been beaten even more with the ugly stick!It's from this ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5965793194&rd=1 Who loves purple!!! Yeap. Those are FUGly. Quote
Panzer Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I'm pretty sure thats a licensed Valk from the Macross: Bizarro World series... Quote
Guppy Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 OMG.. that one beats mine. It's thhe leader in the "ugliest valk ever" comp! Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) These must be civilian valks custom painted by basara. UN spacy probably used more civilians to fight the wars for them. The idea is if you frighten them with ugly paint schemes to scare them away, they will get scared to fight and thier soldiers will be contaminated by the culture forcing them to join humans. High visibility paint schemes make the people using them stand out and in the future it is fashionable to make the valks as garish as possible. (the people were on drugs when they painted them up. Like how it is retro cool for some to go back into the 60s and 70s. Orange gunpods, purple fast packs, multiple skulls where there should only be one, etc "its psychedelic man!" ) Edited March 30, 2005 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
NERV Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 what about that one with the LED in the cockpit? Quote
Knight26 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Actually the one with the gray fast packs isn't too horrid, now the purple fast packs, nasty. Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 what about that one with the LED in the cockpit? dont mock the LED cockpit. You use it for the clear canopy on your Bandai Reissues. also the plastic ont hat boot is much better than the yellow purple crap we see here. Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) 1/55 custom? anyone? jesus you guys. IT jsut needs a little love. See the good old "5 dollar" bootleg? This is what it was like before yamato and Bandai reissues. And if you are smart enough custom the canopy (since there is none) Oh yeah and those nasty botlegs dont have the spring loaded landing gears like the led cockpit version Edited March 30, 2005 by Solscud007 Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Wow! Those are custom bootlegs? Looks pretty good! You did em? Quote
Pat Payne Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I was in shanghai last week visiting sebastian and we found this little gem. I had to share it. I love the creative touches with the multiple skulls on the tail fins and the use of orange, silver and grey on the back. THAT'S the piece of crap I saw being sold in a San Pedro flea market! Those things looked so flimsy that just by staring at them you could shake them apart...way overpriced at $10... Quote
KingNor Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 i'll start the bidding.. 5 bucks to see someone customize a 1/48 to the orange and purple sceme. 5 bucks, anyone want to out bid me? Quote
