Beware of Blast Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 The more I see these pictures, the more I see that WolfX is right - the gunpod IS small. It's like a baby whose yet to realize his true potential. He'll know when he grows up to be the 1/48.

VFTF1 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 The Side Covers will come with the GBP no doubt - sure it would be nifty for them to come with side covers, but that would kind of imply...imperfect transformation VFTF1
Beware of Blast Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Nahhhhhh......you guys are just trying to find something wrong with it . It's fun! It's like digging into eggs looking for bones. You should try it sometime.

You're never going to please everyone...especially here at Macross World Forums. It could be 100% line art accurate in every mode and you'd still have half a dozen or more people swearing up and down that it's off. -Kyp Edited May 28, 2008 by Kyp Durron

isa_o Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 looks like the seat folds back like the zero if you look into the cockpit the seat looks folded back down.
misterryno Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 looks like the seat folds back like the zero if you look into the cockpit the seat looks folded back down. Well you must have REALLY good vision. Perhaps you can tell me what color of undies I am wearing. Seriosly though....you can see something like the seat folded down from that pic? I don't know about that mate.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I dunno, i thought the seat was coloured like that,
s001 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I was skeptic with the first pictures (the prototype ones) but all I can say now is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! they improved a lot with the production version. The nose doesn't look chunky anymore. I love the new feet design! and OMG the blades on the main intakes! The proportions are perfect judging by this pic. It's just like in that scene of DYRL when Hikaru launches to the final battle.
RDClip Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 So by all the pics, i'm guessing there will only be a strike cannon with this combo release and no duel micro missile launcher a la super valk? Kinda sad. Oh well, hopefully the separate set will have both.

Dobber Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Wow, that does look perfect to me also! I'm really looking forward to this. Chris
misterryno Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Wow, that does look perfect to me also! I'm really looking forward to this. Chris Same here! I really like the fact that the micro missiles are molded into the Super Packs now instead of having to put them in there seperatly.
renkenjutsu Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 By all means the new 1/60 looks awesome! But I'm not going to buy it.... yet. I'm waiting for a VF-1A Max/Hikky to come out I just like the VF-1A head better than the VF-1S for some reason. Maybe I'm just weird.

I'm waiting for a VF-1A Max/Hikky to come out I just like the VF-1A head better than the VF-1S for some reason. Maybe I'm just weird. You are The 1A head is pretty cool....but I like the 1S better. It's just a matter of being different.
eriku Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I think a lot of people prefer the 1A head. I'm a 1S guy myself, although I used to prefer the 1J and even the 1D. I actually dislike the 1A head so much that I'm going to try to do a head swap on the 1/48 Angel Birds I have coming from HLJ. Just not sure where to get a spare 1J or 1S head from... I'm really liking how this new 1/60 is looking. I'm very tempted to do a preorder but I think I'll wait for a couple reviews first. It is a first-release Yamato toy afterall.
misterryno Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Just not sure where to get a spare 1J or 1S head from... You can get a recast one from Silver Dragon.
eriku Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 You can get a recast one from Silver Dragon. Thanks! Is there a dedicated thread for that? This is the first recast/extra part I've needed so I haven't really followed that aspect of the hobby. Off to the search feature!
Graham Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 looks like the seat folds back like the zero if you look into the cockpit the seat looks folded back down. No, the seat does not oorotate in the cockpit. The only Yamato toys with rotating seats are the VF-0 series and the new YF-21. Graham
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 No, the seat does not oorotate in the cockpit. The only Yamato toys with rotating seats are the VF-0 series and the new YF-21. Graham It looks as if the seat and controls can be pulled out like the in the YF-19, right?

ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/...pid-1011044942/ Where's our 1/60 Strike/Super FP sets? And also wasn't there gonna be a individual release of the VF-1S Roy without the Strike/FP? http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/...pid-1011044963/ Edited May 30, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
mojacko Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 i guess the individual release will be slightly cheaper compared with the FP???
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 i guess the individual release will be slightly cheaper compared with the FP??? 10,290 yen as opposed to 12,800. Close to $30 difference. FAST pack kit is 3990 yen. I think some japanese etailer sites are offering a 20% off pre-order discount.
misterryno Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Sooo....is there anyone who thinks this will be delayed slightly like the YF-21?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Sooo....is there anyone who thinks this will be delayed slightly like the YF-21? Doubt it, we've already seen full galleries like on amiami.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I don't care. Patience is my middle name. I'm holding until the second edition.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Max 1A for second release please! I seriously doubt yamato would be kind to release the 1S Max. Silverdragon to make me a 1S 1/60 head!
isa_o Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 No, the seat does not oorotate in the cockpit. The only Yamato toys with rotating seats are the VF-0 series and the new YF-21. Graham thanks for clearing that up. so whats the gimmic this time?
samwiseb Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Dumb newbie question: so far, is it just the VF-1S Roy Focker valk that's being released in this "perfect transforming" toy line? Or does the 1/60 perfect line already include valks from other Mac series?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Yep. The first valkyrie in the NEW 1/60 version 2 VF-1 line is this Roy VF-1S. (there was the old non-perfect transforming valkyrie line by yamato before they did the 1/48 line) :edit: sorry i should have added that this was the Version 2 VF-1 line. There will be others of course, most likely the VF-1A. Edited May 31, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
