baronv Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Diggity! Frontier enemy toys, wow. And I was still waiting for the Cheyenne from Zero to be made into a kit.
Chopper Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Heres a closer shot of that 1/72 scale VF-25 Looks to be pretty decent quality.
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Looks good, but just to stress before you all get too excited, it is the plastic model kit, NOT a toy. I wonder if the black and red stripes will be molded in, or will be typical Bandai foil stickers? Graham
Chopper Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Bandai model kits do not bother me in the least, my Gunpla collection is vast.
Sumdumgai Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 If that model kit is anything like the M7 1/144 model kits: SKIP. It looks nice there, but it's nice and made up already.
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 According to a discussion we are having in the model forum currently, it looks like the Vajra shown in the pics may also be a 1/72 scale model kit as well. While I'd always thought the red Vajra are significantly larger than a VF-25, it appears that depending on which scene of the anime you view, they are only slightly larger. Graham

While I'd always thought the red Vajra are significantly larger than a VF-25, it appears that depending on which scene of the anime you view, they are only slightly larger. You do see the Action Base that is holding up the VF-25F, right? There's no Action Base on the red Vajra. So the VF is closer to the camera, perspective-wise.
Master Dex Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) According to a discussion we are having in the model forum currently, it looks like the Vajra shown in the pics may also be a 1/72 scale model kit as well. While I'd always thought the red Vajra are significantly larger than a VF-25, it appears that depending on which scene of the anime you view, they are only slightly larger. Graham I agree, in episode 4 at least you see it is a lot bigger. For example with Alto goes in to try and knife it to death you get a good idea, as well as when he gets on it's back to shoot it with the beam cannon. Besides this, stuff form the 1st and 2nd episodes showed the comparison fairly well. You do see the Action Base that is holding up the VF-25F, right? There's no Action Base on the red Vajra. So the VF is closer to the camera, perspective-wise. Good point, I see that, so the vajra model is definitely taller, but I don't think the VF-25 is that much closer to the camera. I still think Graham had it correct by assuming the Vajra was a different scaler earlier. However I have been proven wrong on many things in the past. Edited May 15, 2008 by Master Dex
Hikuro Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 omigod I can't wait to get this, I don't care if it's 6 inches or 20, I'm gonna buy every last one of them.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Is the kit transformable is it? Looks good!
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Shizuoka has officially started! Lets hope we see some DX VF-25 goodness soon!
Morpheus Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Wow, thats nice, what is the estimated price of this thing? Any news whether Kawamori decided to make VF-171 toy?
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 What's next to it?!?!? Red Vajra 1/72 scale model kit. Graham
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Check out the Frontier model thread in the model forum for more pics of the Gerwalk and Fighter modes. Graham
paper2k1 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 more pictures... VF-25F in Gerwalk Mode VF-25F in Fighter Mode more Bajura
eugimon Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I like the battroid mode just fine, but fighter mode looks off to me.
wolfx Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I like the battroid mode just fine, but fighter mode looks off to me. Nose looks less sleek than it should be. That's probably why.
Fort Max Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Shizuoka has officially started! Lets hope we see some DX VF-25 goodness soon! Seconded. Models are nice but I don't have time for them anymore.
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Yeah, same here. Having young kids really kills any time for making models. Graham
boyarque Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 in one hand I'm happy bandai got it coz normally kits are cheaper... in the other hand, I'm wishing Yamato would produce a 1/60 scale vf-25 to burn me wallet!
Twoducks Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Good to see things are moving. Battroid really looks good and I even like fighter mode even if it's off (reminds me of the vf-5000). Gerwalk looks dead though. If the cheapo kit looks that good, the bigger DX toy version will kick ass. If they are doing a Vajra that must mean that we'll also get a VF-171, at least in model kit form.
Graham Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 We haven't heard any details of what the 1/100 line is going to include, so I'm placing all my hope for a VF-171 in that scale. Graham
Twoducks Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) I'm really really surprised they are doing a Vajra. Looks like Bandai is finally backing up Macross like it deserves. When was the last time we saw them do an enemy that wasn't from Gundam? We haven't heard any details of what the 1/100 line is going to include, so I'm placing all my hope for a VF-171 in that scale. Graham Forgot about the (possible HCM-Pro) 1/100 line! Hope Bandai gives us at least the VF-171. Who knows, if things go well and MF sells we might even see a new 1/100 Monster!

When was the last time we saw them do an enemy that wasn't from Gundam? They showed a kit of the Monsoon LFO from Eureka Seven but it didn't get released in the end.
Anavel Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I wouldnt get too excited over the Vajra yet, bandai has a history of things showing up once, never to be seen again.
Save Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) BIG OPPS moving to the correct thread HERE! Edited May 15, 2008 by Save
eyesonme78 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 well.. just a simple question i like to ask.. if any one knows.. will Bandai come out a MG style Vf-25? with internal skeleton + fabulous articulation like the MG wing zero version KA? Would that be possible? I am hoping it will though..
