tank Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Did the angel birds appear in DYRL??If they didn't, why does it have the chickenhands? 418111[/snapback] I don't recall seeing any in DYRL, but it still has the chicken hands for perfect transformation. As far as I can tell, all the 1/48s come with chicken hands for this specific reason. But hopefully Yamato will include the TV fat hands with these as well. 418150[/snapback] No it showed up in the TV series which means TV hands, I hope. I'd say this is a surprise and I think this is the most ugliest color scheme but I'll still get these for sure. 418166[/snapback] I agree the scheme is ugly but im getting one also Quote
BlueMax Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) hehe.... Ain't seen nothing yet eh? haha.. I'm sure its as torturing for the G man as well, since he has so much pent up knowledge but is unable to share his excitement... Hm... lets see....the 25th Anniversary will be next year.....

UN Spacy Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Alright fellas. We gotta find Jessica Alba STAT and somehow deliver her to Graham. Quote
Macross73 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 its amazing how many different items are being produced. My direct depoist should just go to Yamato. All the money is going to them anyway. I'm going to have pick up a few extra hours so I can multiples of everything Quote
Dante74 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 Multiples?... I can hardly afford one of these with all the new releases coming. Quote
vlenhoff Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 1D, Elint, Ostrich, 21, 11B, hmmmmmm Here we go! Well if they are releasing the 19, Angel Birds, Kakizaki DYRL, and 3 non canon valkyries(LV1,LV2,Stealth), it should not be hard to believe one or all of the above could make it to production. Wow, and to think I gave up believing I would get a bad@$$ 19, 21, or 11B. I keep buying them, so they keep producing cool stuff. Graham you're such a lucky dawg. Quote
Mowe Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Agreed with others about a darker blue shade for the Angel Birds stripe. Graham's prophesy is getting scary Quote
DyNo Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 When Graham said Yamato has some cool stuff to release, he wasn't kidding. 419289[/snapback] You think this is the cool stuff? You ain't seen nothing yet! Graham 419534[/snapback] Damn you haha Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I'll be a good boy and buy everything. But please Yamato, bring us: YF-21 VF-11B 11C Armor DYRL? Nousjadeul-Ger Glaug Regult 0S Armor 1/48 Elint 1/48 Ostrich 1/48 or 1/60 Zentraedi soldiers VF-4 and more!!!!!!! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I forgot: 1/48 or 1/60 DESTROIDS for Gods sake!!!!!!!!! Quote
GutsAndCasca Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 When Graham said Yamato has some cool stuff to release, he wasn't kidding. 419289[/snapback] You think this is the cool stuff? You ain't seen nothing yet! Graham 419534[/snapback] Damn! Quote
mechatek Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Well this is a welcomed surprise. Yamato has gone Macross crazy. Quote
Dante74 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 Finally! I remember late last year, you could only get a 1/48 CF if you where lucky. Quote
Godzilla Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 When Graham said Yamato has some cool stuff to release, he wasn't kidding. 419289[/snapback] You think this is the cool stuff?

UN Spacy Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Well this is a welcomed surprise. Yamato has gone Macross crazy. 419828[/snapback] WERD. I don't think anyone was expecting this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the VF-4. Quote

wolfx Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Hi guys. Am in japan now and saw this down at akihabara. Hard to take pictures when there are signs all around warning you not to and store keepers giving u stern looks everytime they see you taking pictures. >_> Quote

do not disturb Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 i don't know about you guys but this thing is looking awful in battroid mode. this will have to be a strictly fighter mode display piece for me. Quote
Dante74 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Posted August 16, 2006 Same here. It looks like a clown in battroid mode. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Drooling! Love the box for the A.B. By the way Wolfx, is that store near Yokosuko? Where the Navy Carrier is stationed at? Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Nice pics!!! This thread needs a 1/48 FANRACER!! Quote
kensei Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Hi guys. Am in japan now and saw this down at akihabara. Hard to take pictures when there are signs all around warning you not to and store keepers giving u stern looks everytime they see you taking pictures. >_> 425595[/snapback] You're fully sick! Thanks mate! is it me, or are the box designs getting somewhat better? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) If they'd used Blue ANGELs blue and ThunderBIRDS red, it'd probably look awesome. Or just use all Thunderbirds colors---it looks like the original design did more of a 90/10 Thunderbirds/Blue Angels split than a mix of each. Here we could get into a debate about "intended" vs "on-screen" or whatever colors. Since it's so clearly (both visually and name-wise) imitating the US demonstration squadrons, my opinion is that it was always intended to be the deep red and blue used by those squadrons---not the lighter colors we actually get. Kind of like I think Roy's valks should flat-out have Insignia yellow for their accents, as that is the shade of yellow the Jolly Rogers have used for some 50 years on their planes--and Yamato's is too pale. Match what the scheme itself is trying to copy, not old animation cels... Ok, here's a quick recolor I did approximating Thunderbirds red and Blue Angel blue. I think it'd be even better with Thunderbirds/Insignia blue---the very dark blue you find on an actual fabric US flag. Edited August 17, 2006 by David Hingtgen Quote
recon Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 kensei think its the standard box design..similar to what we saw on the stealth, LV2, and VF-0S. Hopefully yamato gives us a similar boxart quality for the YF-19 as that of the hasegawa ver. Quote
kensei Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Yup, That's what I meant, boxart. Nah I didn't expect them to change the actual design of the box. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Sorry for the picture quote but isn't that a Masterpiece Joons 'clown' version? i kid, i kid! Clown version or not. Me wants!! Quote
