Nani?! Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 The cockpit coating is nice indeed. I just hope the production version isn't prone to paint chipping like that. Bah... I guess I have buy another skull squadron.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 That new gimmick makes it pretty obvious that they will have to release a VF-1D at some point too. 2 seaters were announced from the get go. I knew this toy would be one of the sleeper hits of Yamato releases this year.
Kyp Durron Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Is that irridescent coating on the canopy stock, or did this guy customize it??? I used babel fish and here's an interesting excerpt : The canopy has designated the clear part as mirror coat, when it tried doing the approach which is different, it is thing! Feeling being different depending upon the condition of light, being visible in is calling the shank [e] ~ (∀) =b [ku] ゙ [tsushi] ゙ [yohu] ゙ [a], then here! This “[makurosushirizu] 1/60 complete deformation VF-1S with super & gimmick of prejudice of [sutoraikupatsuroi] Fokker machine” introduction!! So I'd say it's another gimmick. And the gimmick of it being able to carry the fuselage section is awesome!! -Kyp Edited June 3, 2008 by Kyp Durron

So I'd say it's another gimmick. tongue.gif I think its meant to replicate the holographic HUD display that the DYRL VF-1's had.
doodler7 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 i am confilicted. i'd like to get the 1/60 vf-1s to check it out. but i'd really like to get the ve and vt and the 1d. i have two more 1/48s and i will complete my 1/48 collection...minus the black credit card valkyrie. i hope the joints are tight on the 1/60s...cuz super glue sucks...and it stinks. too bad we have HOA fees...i'd use that to get a new valkyrie and SOC figure every month.
UN Spacy Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Graham. Does this have ratcheted joints like the YF-21?
Vegas Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 can the gun be mounted while the valk(in fighter mode of course) is attached to a stand?
dizman Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 So they are putting the escape pod gimmick in as well, yamato better make a TV VF-1S and VF-1D or else it's useless. Quick question Graham, did yamato design the rear landing gear correctly this time (the same design as the 1/60 YF-21's rear wheels) or is it like the 1/48?
Vi-RS Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Yamato got my money on this one. The new 1/60 is simply stunning. Look, we got rainbow effect on the canopy.... Edited June 4, 2008 by Vi-RS
RDClip Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) I have to say the detachable cockpit/nose section surprised me. Can we say that it is practice for a VF-11. Hell, they should sell the nose section separately so we can replay the cannon fodder ass-whoopings of Mac7 Edited June 4, 2008 by RDClip
newca Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Is the canopy "officially" been coated? I don't see any effect from the posters
misterryno Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Is the canopy "officially" been coated? I don't see any effect from the posters I'm going with no on that one. Not sure what the deal is with the "rainbow" looking canopy but it does'nt even look close to a finished canopy if you look around the edges.
Kyp Durron Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Guys, did you even bother to read my post? http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...st&p=606290 -Kyp
rick dieck Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I hope the canpoy doesnt have this color effect, i find more elegant and realistic the clear crystal effect.......i mean probably this could be the mixture of reflects and lights from the outside like in DYRL, but a real canopy doesnt have this kind of effect

Kyp Durron Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 i must say no....I did'nt read it.....I have now though. Will you still be my friend? I'll think about it... -Kyp
newca Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I found this one, it IS officially coated with rainbow... http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-65383-1-2.html I just don't have enough room for this scale, cos no one can just got a single VF in a new series, right? Althoug we maybe lie to our wallet all the time...
Kyp Durron Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 This begs the question "Will Yamato be making all 1/60 scale Valks other than the VF-1's with this coating from here on out?" -Kyp

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Is the canopy "officially" been coated? I don't see any effect from the posters Thats because thats an old photo of an old test shot. The one with the coating is a production toy.
Beware of Blast Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Yea, but is it magically delicious? Why not? the coating is like artificial flavoring... you know it's bad for you, but you can't help but want more. I hope they sand down the excess plastic seam in the middle of the canopy. Don't wanna cut my tongue for not being careful.
newca Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Excellent! The pilot is now protected against UV radiation. In time, the valks will yellow but the pilot will not. That's the major point! To your wallets or your wives? Luckily my wife neither against my collections NOR shows interests on them. I think the later is more important

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) hey NMB4M, whats your take/thinking on Yamato giving the 1/60 the ability to attach a VF-1 canopy on it's arm? Edited June 5, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
UN_MARINE Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 that detaching canopy gimmick pretty much dooms all of us into buying 2 of 'em, doesn't it? is it just me, or is there something special about the neck joint...
lechuck Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Really liking these latest pics of the VF-1. The legs look very refined. Do you guys think the legs are double jointed? The knee cap seems to be sitting on it's own, which is sort of like the knee assembly of the MG Gundam MK.II Ver.2 I'm kind of indifferent to the whole fuselage thing. This goes into the same drawer like the radome thing on the 1/48s, meaning it's a useless gimmick to me. In fact I'd prefer a pair of SIDE COVERS than this gimmick. Besides, do we get the extra fuselage with the valk or is a minimum of two valks required to pull this of? Edited June 5, 2008 by lechuck

I am hoping that it will actually come with an extra fuselage.....if not...then I guess I'll just have a fuselageless battroid or gerwalk holding a fuselage ....
Skull 001 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 The origional 1/60 looks so small compared to the rest. That bugs me. Is the Valk really that small in comarison to the others.
jenius Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 The origional 1/60 looks so small compared to the rest. That bugs me. Is the Valk really that small in comarison to the others. Yep, it's a very small bird in comparison to everything else. IIRC the knees are double jointed and the legs are skinnier. We all would like side covers. I am hoping that it will actually come with an extra fuselage.....if not...then I guess I'll just have a fuselageless battroid or gerwalk holding a fuselage No way, wasn't it a collapsed VF-1D in GERWALK that went fuselage-less? We're gonna get to do recreations!
RDClip Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 No way, wasn't it a collapsed VF-1D in GERWALK that went fuselage-less? We're gonna get to do recreations! Dead Zendraedi still in the works

danth Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 So am I the only one not particularly impressed by these two gimmicks? I really don't care one way or the other about the rainbow coating on the canopy. It doesn't bug me, but it doesn't get me excited at all. Same with the arm-mounting of the whole nose section. It's definitely not a feature I see myself using, and I actually worry if the integrity of the whole valk will be compromised (though I doubt it). But most importantly the black mounting clip is big and ugly. Maybe it would be cooler if it was transparent. Actually, there is one reason I'm excited about the arm/nosecone attachment: it hints at the release of the 1D. Of course the new 1/60 doesn't need gimmicks for me to buy it. It's totally sweet anyway. So now comes the weeks of waiting...damn, I can't wait to get this thing.
EXO Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Dead Zendraedi still in the works I was just thinking that. That Matchbox 5" Zaentrati figure would probably do well.
