valkyrie312 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I was nosing around the Yamato website and I found this pic. Have I just been in the dark for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Yep, you have.. But not for long... a YEAR maybe? ANyways that VF 01 is not gonna be released anytime soon, maybe never, so dont hold you breath. That pic is also the first prototipe Yamato ever did.

valkyrie312 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 HAHAHA - I figured that I was just a little behind. I was away for about a year and just got back on the boards about a month ago. Thanks! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkyrie312 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) Well, I changed jobs. I went from an assistant band director (out of 3 directors) to a lead band director with no assistant to help me. It was kind of crazy, so I was basically working to work and working to relax. Yuck! Things have calmed down, so my MW visits have gotten to be more frequent! David In Texas - the land of football and middle / high school band!!!!!!

Graham Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Yep, that pic is of a very old sculpt. The sculpt has actually gone through some revsions since then (head laser angle changed, hip sockets redesigned smaller). The revised sculpt was displayed by Yamato at a few hobby shows in Japan around the middle of last year. If you search, you should be able to find the threads with the pics of the revised sculpt. However, for 6 months now there has been no new news or photos of this toy in any of the Japanese Hobby magazines. Also, Yamato has stopped displaying the sculpt at the last few hobby shows, which has lead many of us to suspect that they have decided to drop it from their production schedule.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 To be honest, I never heard much good response from most of the fans, whether it be us on MW or the japanese on the BBS overseas. The only reason people wanted this thing was because it was the only VF-0 toy announced. But even diehard phoenix lovers like me didnt want it. In any case I keep dreaming and hoping bandai would make one. Hah dreams alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 i hope that this VF0 and YF19 will resurface again after the 1/48 GBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I have lost any hope for more Yamatos. I think we are seeing the end of Macross Merch for a time again. It will be the dark days again. Ebay valks here we come. ::sigh:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I think that the VF-0S and the YF-19 FP ended in the same place that Shin, Sara, the fold engine of the SDF-1 and the Megaroad are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1James Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I think that the VF-0S and the YF-19 FP ended in the same place that Shin, Sara, the fold engine of the SDF-1 and the Megaroad are Wow... that's a good way to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I have given up on the toys so I went and bought the 1/72 vf-0 fighter kit from Hasegawa. By the time I get to finishing the toys will probably be out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
