Sketch Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Looking at it more, I am almost sure that is actually a 9 as opposed to a 0. There is a piece of paper covering the rest at an angle, if it were a 0, the curve wouldn't be as apparent. The letter right after it is curved too..... VF-19S anybody? Bandai may still have the Macross 7 license, Frontier takes place primarily in space(or on the colony), and the VF-19S was made with an emphasis for use in space...... Bandai still has the Macross 7 license, from the looks of things the M7 Remaster box set is selling like hotcakes. They may use this as an opportunity to revisit the VF-19. Personally I'd love it if they did a 1/60 Fire Valkyrie in the same line as the VF-25.
eugimon Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 that would open the yamato versus bandai flood gates!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 That would be sick, Yamato vs Bandai. Only win win win for us.
Sumdumgai Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Just think of the competition! Bandai Macross Frontier 1/60 VF-171, Bandai Macross 7 1/60 VF-17, Yamato Macross VFX2 VF-17. I want a VF-17-ish valkyrie, and I won't settle for the M7 1/65 scale one.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Have to say i'd rather the Frontier VF-171 over the old VF-17. maybe we could see the Koenig as 1/60 from bandai? Ratchet joints..... Edited June 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 That would be sick, Yamato vs Bandai. Only win win win for us. biggrin.gif FINALLY someone gets it!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) well, We'll just see how bandai handles the 1/60 VF-25. WE ARE WATCHING, BANDAI Edited June 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Uxi Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Bandai still has the Macross 7 license, from the looks of things the M7 Remaster box set is selling like hotcakes. They may use this as an opportunity to revisit the VF-19. Personally I'd love it if they did a 1/60 Fire Valkyrie in the same line as the VF-25. And a VF-19F and VF-19S. I would sooooo love that. Would be interesting to get Bandai's take versus Yamato's... VF-171 and VF-17 would be great, as well. Hopefully we could get the Varauta mecha, too, if not a big rubber Guravil.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Personally I'd love it if they did a 1/60 Fire Valkyrie in the same line as the VF-25. I'd rather have the blazer valk. Better wings, no face etc..
Uxi Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 No reason to not get all of them. The Kai is basically a 19A (which is a repainted YF-19) with the samurai legs and shoulders from a 19F/S, and unique head, isn't it? As far as the face, it has shields that can be kept closed. IOW, the Kai would use parts from both YF19/VF-19A and the VF-19F/S with only the head, the color, and possibly some sculpting detail and decals being really unique.
Sumdumgai Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Well, the 19kai has more in common with the body of the 19F/S, it kind of looks like the 19A, but it's just in the general shape. If you study the differences, there's no way that a 19A could be used to make a VF-19kai. It would require basically doing a new sculpt from scratch to get the transformation to work properly. Hey, if the VF-25 sells well, maybe Bandai will make a Macross Quarter. I just hope that they do a fantastic job on the 25 and keep improving on the design, sculpt, and transformation.
Fort Max Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 that would open the yamato versus bandai flood gates! "Their War, Our Wallets!"
Slammer Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 "Their War, Our Wallets!" "it is the year 2008. the forces of Yamato have conquered Macross world. but, from two of Macross world`s moons the Bandai plan their offensive to take back the franchise."
badboy00z Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I would like to see the VF-19 be redesigned (or simply better CGI) to look slimmer like the VF-25.
AlphaHX Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I would like to see the VF-19 be redesigned (or simply better CGI) to look slimmer like the VF-25. That would be awesome.
Sumdumgai Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) I thought the VF-19A Excalibur looked fine in the Macross VFX2 opening. I wonder if we'll see any 19s in Frontier, whether it be from another fleet using some, or one being the commanding unit of a squadron somewhere. As for a toy version of the VF-19 being remade by Bandai. I don't think they can afford to make one as thick and chunky as the last ones they made. Edited June 15, 2008 by Sumdumgai
VFTF1 Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Considering that Bandai still issues Gundam models from shows that have long since stopped airing, I see no reason why they couldn't do a VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie - and give it the Sound Force speakers and make it play all of Bassara's songs! LOAD! I would buy 20! I swear - and I'd set up an entire SOUND FORCE ARMY! And just play them! weeee! But what they really truly MUST do - Kayodo - is make Macross characters! I really want an Alto and Sheryl and Ranka figure!!! VFTF1
Bio Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Moved in the correct section... Thank you Ignacio Edited June 15, 2008 by Bio
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 That's the 1/72 model kit I posted bigger pics from July Model Graphix issue on the model kits forum!! I wish the 1/60 DX borrowed some the proportions from this battroid
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I wonder if we'll see any 19s in Frontier, whether it be from another fleet using some, or one being the commanding unit of a squadron somewhere. I hope so, the 19F/S models are sexy. I wish the 1/60 DX borrowed some the proportions from this battroid sad.gif It probably already has, the thing shown in the magazines was made out of resin and it looked like with that, it couldn't even hold its limbs up, let alone have the crotch in the right position.
QuinJester Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) New pics up on GA Graphic http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010310/ It's Still a rapid prototype model, but at least you can rest assured that the cockpit hinge is gone. Also, a price; 12600 yen. Still hoping that the knee breaks forward more in Gerwalk mode for properly canted chicken legs, but it's looking rather nice I think. Edited June 19, 2008 by QuinJester
Twoducks Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 New pics up on GA Graphic http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010310/ It's Still a rapid prototype model, but at least you can rest assured that the cockpit hinge is gone. Also, a price; 12000 yen. Still hoping that the knee breaks forward more in Gerwalk mode for properly canted chicken legs, but it's looking rather nice I think. Thanks for the link!! Gerwalk looks less stiff in the poster. Hope we see a bigger pic ot it with the coloured protos soon. I think the hips should hang a bit lower from the crotch if they whant to look more faithfull to the design but I like what I see.
Twoducks Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) And of the 1/72: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-67015-1-1.html Edited June 19, 2008 by Twoducks
kensei Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Hmmm, seems to lack the technology of the YF-19/VF-0 knee design from Yamato.
OmegaD3k Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 A vast improvement over the previous design. YES! NO CANOPY HINGES! Looks good so far. Keep it up Bandai, this is starting to look good. Hopefully those knees will be double-jointed like the Yammies, allowing for a more 'dynamic' look. The only things I don't like: - Crotch area looks a bit "lazy" - Those hands look worse than the 1/48s =p Overall: Fantastic. Looks like I'll be picking one up afterall. Can't wait for the final version.
CF18 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Source: http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2008/06/hm0003.html More pics: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010310/ So the price is Yen 12600 (should means Y12000+5% tax). Do they still plan to come with armour/fast packs? Given the large size and price I guess they will be separate items. Edited June 19, 2008 by CF18
GobotFool Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I like the look of the 1/72 better. Seems more streamlined to me. This is probably at the cost of PT though.
danth Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Nice work Bandai! Do we have any info on what head and color variations will be released? The "hero" valk is not my favorite, I might wait for the blue one if they make it.
eugimon Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 yay, happy to see how wrong i was. Just having th torso setup properly makes a huge difference.
UN Spacy Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 The price is just what I'd expect from Bandai. Do you guys think they'll include the Fast Packs?
