kanata67 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 How about this one that I saw in HLJ looks like an origanal Jet Fire instead of the VF-1S Hasbro had licensed from Ban Dai.R Blade 369855[/snapback] Actually it looks like a Skyfire. Jetfire was the name of the toy, but Skyfire was used in the cartoons and stuff.. 370063[/snapback] I just get a "this pic was stolen" link Quote
jenius Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I just get a "this pic was stolen" link Me too and it bums me out Quote
JB0 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Gotta copy and paste it into a new window. THEN it works. Quote
Totoro242 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Okay, back on topic, can anyone translate this poster? It could give me clue as to its origin.. Edited February 16, 2006 by Totoro242 Quote
Macross73 Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 what size is that? Is it 8.5 x 11 inches, cause it looks like it was taken out of a comic book. it may have been a fold out, but i couldn't say from where. Quote

Not from anything, definately a poster Quote
Totoro242 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 Okay, I posted this on ToyboxDX also and got a translation "Macross: Showing on 25 TBS/MBS Stations Across the Country Every Sunday Starting at 2 PM!" "Produced by Mainichi Broadcasting and Tatsunoko Productions. Designed by Big West and Studio Nue." The list at right is of television stations. Thanks to Matt Alt Quote
Sdf-1 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Oh wow! So it's the original tv-show advertisement poster! Needless to say how I'd want to frame one on my wall... Umm, don't say it is yours? Edited February 17, 2006 by Sdf-1 Quote
Totoro242 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 Yes, its mine The first Macross poster I guess Quote
Sdf-1 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) You're a lucky guy there! Basically I'd consider that as the ultimate collectible. Edit: After cels, I forgot to say! Edited February 17, 2006 by Sdf-1 Quote

Totoro242 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 I'd like to ask everyones help on something, if you can. I swear I have seen the above poster before in pictures from an article on Macross toys and models. I cannot for the life of me find where. I went through all of my books and magazines and can't find the pictures. The images were black and white, showed IMAI or Takatoku employess setting up displays of toys or models, and would have been from 1982 or 1983. PArt of the display were these posters or this image on another poster. Does this possibly sound familar to anyone? Any help would be appreciated Thanks! Quote
kanata67 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Its from Macross. 370950[/snapback] are you sure? they might have miss-spelled "macress" Quote

Top left, Takatoku Henkei Type variable Valkyrie VF1J Hikaru; top right, all die-cast Armored VF1J Battroid, manufacturer unknown; bottom left, VF1J Hikaru variable Paro Valkyrie; and Takatoku 1/100 scale VF1J Hikaru variable Valkyrie.

Godzilla Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 is this the small or larger version? 398340[/snapback] It looks like it is the medium one where the Alpha/Legioss only transform in 2 modes: gerwalk and battroid. Quote
Macross73 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 that would make about how tall though? Thanks for the help. Quote
jenius Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 It looks like it is the medium one where the Alpha/Legioss only transform in 2 modes: gerwalk and battroid. That is correct. It's the diecast one, 2 mode, it stands a bit smaller than the Toynami MPCs. Quote
Macross73 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 OK I just won two of these for alot less that than this one is going for Thanks Quote
Godzilla Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 OKÂ I just won two of these for alot less that than this one is going for Thanks 398352[/snapback] Well, I am not a fan of that. Partial transformation is stupid IMO. Then again it is a good way to suck ppl into it. The smaller Gakkens and larger Gakkens do full transformation. I just disavow (sp?) its existence. Quote
jenius Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I think you have it a bit wrong Godzilla, the smaller and larger Gakkens do full transformations but they give up a lot of what the vehicle actually looks like in the show to accomplish it. The diecast toys, on the other hand, give up fighter mode to look a whole lot better in the two modes they do achieve. Unfortunately they're practically statues since they lack articulation. As far as toys go, they're not so hot, but they're cool little metal statues. Quote

The sculpt is my favorite of all the Alpha/Legioss toys ever released. While not well articulated, the proportions are almost dead on to the line art in both its modes. Maybe including a fighter mode would have ruined the asthetics. I think they are worth picking up just for that Quote
kanata67 Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 and they are 1/55 scale so they look good displayed with your other 1/55's. Quote
jenius Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 and they are 1/55 scale so they look good displayed with your other 1/55's. The Alpha/Legioss toys all have differed in what they thought was proper scale. Here's a pic, obvioulsy the 1/35 is the big boy, all the other guys are supposedly 1/55 scale. Quote
ewilen Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Okay, so where did this thing come from? Who made it? Ebay Auction Quote
Noyhauser Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Okay, so where did this thing come from? The same could be asked about the person who uses this avatar Nice to see you back Ewilen Quote
Totoro242 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 Thats the Nichimo Pitaban 1/15000 SDF-1 Cruiser model, unpainted Quote
ewilen Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Aha! I forgot that one had the city, and I was thrown off by the way the carriers are (un)mounted. Looks pretty nice that way. Hey, Noyhauser, thanks for the welcome! I've bene off in RPG-land, but I was drawn back by the pheremones released by the 1/60 VF-0S. Quote
jenius Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I like the art on this box set.... but it is a bootleg right? eBay GCM Boxset Sorry, I know it's not Macross. Quote
