Kicker773 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 hmmm 60 x 1/48 valks.. screw it i'm keeping them, although its aggravating.. i'm still happy with my 1/48 including my customs...hell if anyone starts selling the rest of their 1/48 valks lmk. Be a great time to catch up to someone on the valk count
valhary Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 thanks god thats the real head of the vf 1s 1/60 scale
Dangard Ace Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Am I the only one ticked off by this? I am all for more Macross products, but I am happy with my 1/48's. I am sure a new 1/60 version will have all the upgrades that Yamato can cram in, but enough is enough. Some of us have never been happy with the 1/48. Content, yes, but never satisfied or happy. I've been content but I'm vocal in my support for the 1/60 size series. ..... you ask us to double dip Yamato.... If this issue of Hobby Japan February 2008 is true it'll be triple dip for some of us. Original 1/60's, 1/48's and now the new hopefully perfect transformation 1/60. Hint: Someone in the east with a copy of HJ Feb 2008 we need a higher quality scan of that image! If the rumors are true though, does this mean you guys are gonna be selling your 1/48's on the cheap? Haha! No. I would be selling mine at the price I bought at.
JuanJovv Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Uffffffff If be perfect transformation I well be happy to buy that looks great respect at the 1/48 I keeping to and catch the rest Edited December 23, 2007 by JuanJovv

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 ALL OF YOU are forgetting the most important part After years, we might possibly get a perfect transformation valkyrie for under $100! I'm being optimistic here, crossing my fingers that this is a perfect variable. Makes me not regret missing out on a bandai hikaru 1j if this is truly under 100, and perfect variable. Look at that awesome head sculpt and those nonchicken finger hands. Shin like
SuperHobo Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 So history repeats itself once again. More VF-1 goodness is always welcome. However I have my 1/48's and still want to get more so I'm going to have to pass on these 1/60's (perfect edition). Is it just more or do the shoulders seem a bit small?
Mog Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Replying to Roy's Blues, I wouldn't say I'm ticked off over this (assuming it's true). But this latest news isn't striking my fancy like say the announcement of the YF-21 or any news about the Tread/Beta would. My reaction would best be described as "I'm happy for you guys that have been asking for this for awhile, but it's just not something I'm all that interested in." I agree that scale consistency is a good thing. But personally, I like the heft and size of the 1/48's. It gives them a more commanding pressence in my displays. I ain't knocking the 1/60 VF-1's (past or future) (Heck, I do have a 1/60 VF-1A DYRL Max and have done some wicked poses with him). But they just ain't my main thing.
UN Spacy Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I'm going to go out on a limb and say Yamato WILL release the VF-4 in a 1/60 scale. To quote The Six Million Dollar Man....."THEY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY."
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I can do without moving flaps and removable nosecone/engine covers on this release. Even without those, it will be better than the first 1/60 VF-1 series provided this truly is perfect variable. Posing and manipulating the first 1/60 VF-1 became a pain in the ass, with the hips loosening up over time and losing their stability to the point of them being wobbly. With the advances and improvements Yamato showed with the 1/48, I'm sure this time around they will do the 1/60 VF-1 right.
David Hingtgen Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 It better be cheap (as in under 100 bucks) or it's pointless: We already have $200 VF-1's, they're just 1/48 instead of all the other recent 1/60 valks. A 1/60 VF-1 (new) has got to be a lot cheaper than the current 1/48. I have but one request: PRINT THE SKULLS ON THE TAILFINS STRAIGHT.
Dante74 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Can anyone please translate the text in the article? I would like to know what features this thing'll have? Will it be perfect transformation, including heatshield? Will the kneecaps be able to move? etc. etc. The kneecaps look nice though don't they, kinda like Hasegawa kneecaps. If they do a complete line up, I might have to sell two of my three 1/48's.
warpaint22 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Yes yes we need more info on this. Where are all our translators, please translate please! Edited December 23, 2007 by warpaint22
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Ok, NOW I AM EXCITED! btw i am not selling my 1/48's they still hold revelence in my collection. :-)
aaajin Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) I bet its gonna be perfect transformation. I cant see why it wouldnt since it serves no purpose for them to remake the 1/60 line if there's no improvements to attract us, the 1/48 line owners...and it should be cheap too! Edited December 23, 2007 by aaajin

Yeah CHEAP AS IN BELOW $100!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Gonna be something awesome to behold... and to think we can buy all the hero valks and 2 SEATERS (G-Man, tell me they wil make them please...) for a fraction of the price we'd have to pay for the /48 line... haha 2 SEATERS ARE A MUST!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) There is a difference in fighter mode, yeah positive i can see a difference (without reference) , and battroid too... bah too excited settle down ruskii..... Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Duymon Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I just freaking finished my Valkyrie collection two months ago with the M&M's and I still have 1A TV Max / Kakizaki and Max 1S to do still.... I'll prolly buy a single 1/60 just to dick around with and that's that.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I kinda hope it has a removable heatshield...i like the internal heatshield in the 1/48, but i could easily do without it...
danth Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Oh, oh F*CK YEAH. This is the answer to my dreams. I never bought a 1/48 because I hated the low hanging shoulders in fighter mode. Plus they're so big and expensive, and I like smaller scales. I thought the old 1/60's looked ugly and hated that they weren't perfect transformation. And now we get this! Praise ye gods! I feel like all my dreams are coming true. Cool Mospeada toys coming out soon, and now a beautiful, perfect transformation VF-1! Okay, it's pretty sad that my dreams involve toys from 20+ year old cartoons...but my dreams are coming true! Also, I hope this is for real or I'm gonna be pretty sad. Otherwise, this is the best Christmas gift ever. BRING ON THE TWO SEATERS, FAST PACKS, AND GBP ARMOR! Hey, I wonder if the old fast packs and armor will be compatible? Doubt it.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 see the canopy, it's higher (curved more than normal!) Tell me i'm not the only one to see this.
danth Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Wait, look at that picture again. It looks like a SDF Macross above it. And what does that say? VF-2S?! Also, this is a fully painted toy. Funny we've never even seen a prototype yet. Edited December 23, 2007 by danth
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) lets do a list of notable improvements shall we good gentlemen? Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie

Also, this is a fully painted toy. Funny we've never even seen a prototype yet. maybe it's the bandai re-issues of the 1/8000 SDF and 2SS + armour snap model kit thigs? That's more plausiable, but i'd like to be proven wrong!
danth Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) lets do a list of notable improvements shall we good gentlemen? From what I can tell: * Cooler head sculpt * Really smooth legs * No low hanging shoulder problem in fighter mode * Really nice nose shape * Looks like the canopy isn't smashed like the 1/48 * No chicken hands What did I miss? Edited December 23, 2007 by danth
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) canopy sits nicely like the VF-0 in battroid! Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Morikazu001 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 It would figure that they would make a improved 1/60 VF-1 after I started collecting 1/48's. This is awesome news, now i can really build a complete 1/60 scale Valk display without having to buy any of the old 1/60 VF-1's, but I'm still keeping my 1/48's. They had better have some VF-1D's and VT-1's in the new 1/60 lineup!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Big SCANS of the CAD and all would be just pure KILLAR Want to see Fast Packs and Strike on this new Skull One. Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Dante74 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Settle down Ruskii! Do you need a cookie perhaps?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Cookie?? Cookie? U Have COOKIEEEEE??? Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
danth Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Settle down Ruskii! Do you need a cookie perhaps? I'm with Ruskii. I was just about to go to bed, but now I can't sleep! I'm just gonna look at the picture for a few hours.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) It's like i've found the perfect VF-1 again since i laid first eyes and fingies on the 1/48... And everyone wants to experience that again no doubt, especilly for the VF-1! of ALL VARIABLES. This is excitement plus. Edited December 23, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
