Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Itching to see more of the DX, and I crave pictures of the 1/100 line.
Graham Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Hope I'm wrong, but from the silence on Bandai's part, I have a nasty feeling the plan for the 1/100 toy line has been quietly dropped. Graham
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 It won't be surprising. Yamato did the same with the VF-0. George Sohn seems to be the only one who thinks that 1/100 Macross toys are a good business idea.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Depends on the valk imo. The more complex it is, the more I want it upsized.
Omegablue Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Hmmm, if Bandai is making 1/100, then there's hope we're getting Fix-Figuration type of figures. K, but now I'm a bit confused with those images. The grey prototype transforming is the DX? And then I've seen some coloured ones of Alto, is that the kit or the 1/100?
Graham Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 The painted Alto VF-25F and the unpainted Ozma VF-25S shown so far are the 1/72 scale model kits. Absolutely nothing has been shown for the 1/100 line yet, which is why I suspect it may have been dropped. Graham
biggooftoybox Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Without proper size comparisons in the palm of my hand I can't tell which is the better scale to have 1/60 or 1/100. Space considerations on my desk definitely count. I'm with Graham though, we haven't heard or seen a peep about 1/100 Valkyries at all. If they do keep it, I hope it will be high quality and worth playing around with and can stand some beating. If they don't keep it, I hope the 1/60 is easy to toy around with.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Without proper size comparisons in the palm of my hand I can't tell which is the better scale to have 1/60 or 1/100. Space considerations on my desk definitely count. 1/60 is close to the size, if not a bit taller than the 1/48 VF-1. 1/100 is definitely bigger than Revoltech and Gundam HCMpro figures....probably 5-6" tall.

Sumdumgai Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 We still haven't seen any prototypes or even a peep about the 1/100 line since though.
Omegablue Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Is Bandai thus far the only one with the rights in making the Frontier Valks?
Kyp Durron Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Isn't Toynami going to make Frontier toys? No...HELL no. -Kyp
eugimon Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Wow. Are Toynamis really that bad? yamato looks like QC GODS compared to toynami.
Nani?! Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 The day toynami gets their hands on the frontier is the day I quit my valk addiction. BRRrrrrlaaaaah...God... the horror.
Hikuro Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Isn't Toynami going to make Frontier toys? huh.gif WOW are you asking to get slapped by people here? The day Toynami gets Frontier toys for US release..............is the day I will...........do something drastic, like blow Toynami's HQ up Rambo style.
Sumdumgai Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Yes, Toynamis are really that bad, and that company should never be allowed to touch anything Macross ever again. I would be interested in seeing what Bandai was planning with the 1/100, if it was going to be like the 1/100 VF-0 (take apart to transform and put new pieces), or if it was just going to be a small VF-25 that was transformable without reassembly.
vlenhoff Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Hope I'm wrong, but from the silence on Bandai's part, I have a nasty feeling the plan for the 1/100 toy line has been quietly dropped. Graham I haven't been around here in a while. I saw the pics in the previous pages and they made me smile. Now this... I'm a modafogin roller coaster right now
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Ok here's the thing: I like small toys. I like the VF-1 banpresto valks' sculpt. They are like my "Chunky Munky" in terms of me liking them despite them not being all that great in terms of durability. (because they are so simple yet look good if you don't touch them) If bandai can make something similar to the banpresto valks but not falling apart that would be cool. Like if it actually perfect transformed and stuff I would be interested in it. Is that what a 1/100 toy was going to be like? Because that would be really cool. Or was it just going to be stuck in 1 mode?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Wow. Are Toynamis really that bad? SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP! 1/100's aren't that bad tho.... Edited June 11, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Godzilla Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP! 1/100's aren't that bad tho.... Toynami is bad in general. Hazardous to my valk addiction.
Vermillion21 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Toynami is bad in general. Hazardous to my valk addiction. :lol:
Graham Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Guys, stay on topic please. We're here to discuss the Bandai Macross Frontier toys, not slag off Toynami. Please take any discussion of Toynami to the appropriate Toynami thread. Graham
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 or if it was just going to be a small VF-25 that was transformable without reassembly. God I hope so~~!!
Sumdumgai Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 On the topic of if Bandai still does a 1/100 VF-25. I wonder if there'd be any metal content in it not including the pins and screws and all that.
Bio Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) 1/100? The box says 1/72 Edited June 13, 2008 by Bio
persona Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 i wonder if they would make a perfect transformation for the valk and vajra...
Master Dex Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 The Vajra don't transform... and the valk model does have perfect transformation, we know this (I am referring to the 1/72 models though). If your referring to the hopefully still existent 1/100 line.. in which case who knows....
