SuperHobo Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Someone GET ME A TOWEL!!!!!!!!!! **Drools a river of drooling drool**
Kyp Durron Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Oh yeah, come to papa you beautiful sonofabitch! Should have this in hand in just under a month from now.... -Kyp
Vegas Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 that thing is huge and pretty, cant wait to get mine soon
Twoducks Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 OMG! Well, they dropped the glossy finish but the blue tone they used is delicious
Kyp Durron Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I like the matte finish, it goes better with the other 1/60 Valks in my opinion. -Kyp
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Where are you ruskiiVFaussie?? The link with the new pics expires very soon
VFTF1 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Actually it's out end of May, not June - it's coming... at least that's what I'm hearing could be wrong. Won't have it until December anyways for all intents and purposes so whatever VFTF1
misterryno Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 That blue boy looks FANTASTIC!!! It sucks that I cannot afford it right now.
Batou Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 My gawd that looks amazing. The flat finish looks much better, I think. Just added a Revoltech '21 (to action pose next to this beaut in fighter mode) and a pair of Regults to my open orders at HLJ ... hoping they can squeeze these all into the same shipment. Don't really have the money for any of this, but I've waited so long for this I'm willing to sacrifice. So I wonder what color variants we're going to see next? Surely they aren't going to toss the mold after just a few runs of this scheme. If a VF-22 variant is out of the question, maybe a low-vis version could work. _If_ handled right, anyway (wasn't too wild about any of the 1/48 low viz other than the first). I'd really like to see more realistic paint schemes, but I guess hero schemes and well known variants are the safer investment for Yamato.
Dante74 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I preffered the gloss finish on the prototype we saw a couple of months ago, but hot diggity damn it looks sleek!
misterryno Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 but hot diggity damn it looks sleek! That's what Nanase said
Dante74 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 That's what Nanase said When eugimon show her his Omega Pants™
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Looking good. So who is going to get a first release?
Kyp Durron Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Looking good. So who is going to get a first release? Me. -Kyp
Scream Man Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 me three. god, do the pics on this site load slowly for anyone else?

ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Looking good. So who is going to get a first release? me x 2 (getting 2) TWO DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome seeing the new 1/60 VF-1 right beside it. Edited May 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
kanedaestes Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 lol it's amazing how small they are compared to more recent valks in the macross canon. i guess when they saw the size of enemy mecha they went bigger. I remember seeing miriya's vf-1j being rescued by basara's vf-19 and thinking that it was tiny. Well unfortunately i will eat my words a get a few vf-1 1/60 version for scale sake though i still love the 1/48. I love big toys. I wish i had the funds for a first release yf-21 but i never got my stimilus so that means it is going to be mailed to me on june 20th. i hope i can still procure one without having to pay a huge price from folks. I want one so bad. I need to have some dynamic isamu vs guld poses going on. I really want two one for fighter the other for battroid but i only have on 19 at the moment and the balance in my display would be off.
dizman Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I like the finish on the final product, goes well with all the other valks! I guess since this review is out Graham's review will be coming soon (heres hoping anyways).

I'm wondering how the YF-21 will stack up against the 1/48 VF-1. In those pics they show a person holding it and it looks to be a good size but who knows really. I mean...they coulda looked at that guys hands and said "well.....they look to be average size" But really....how big is it?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Well Nora is bloody huge, you like em big go get HER!
misterryno Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Well Nora is bloody huge, you like em big go get HER! REALLY!?! Can you snap a pic of here next to a 1/48 VF-1 for me in Battroid and Fighter modes and post them in the Macross Pose thread? I would love that! On an off topic.....I went to the first page of this thread just now and noticed that G-Man has the first post (of course he does cause he started this thread...anywayssss...) his new "title" says Sheryl's Panties...YUM! I must agree she is HOT but Nanase's Panties must be MUCHO BETTER! EDIT----> After thinking about it Nanase is a closet freak fo sure and does'nt wear panties more than likely Edited May 26, 2008 by misterryno

In those pics they show a person holding it and it looks to be a good size but who knows really. I mean...they coulda looked at that guys hands and said "well.....they look to be average size" But really....how big is it? According to the M3, it is bigger than the VF-0. The 1/60 VF-0 is about the same size as the VF-1 1/48, so this should be slightly bigger (longer in F mode) than a 1/48 and the 1/60 YF-19.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) This pic here looks great, i'm happy enough with Battroid mode. I had been waiting for a side on pic... http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/010020/27.html Edited May 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
nightmareB4macross Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 There are no words to describe how this makes me feel. *sniff* It brought a tear to my eye.
Kyp Durron Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Looks to be the most line art accurate fighter mode yet since the VF-0's. -Kyp
Arthurius Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 this is the best looking plane ever, no questions on that. The robot mode though, i want more pictures, with the feets being straigth (not bent knees) and facing straight, with the fps on, as well as the air intake part on chest being open. Hope people who are getting this shortly will take those pictures for us. If this turns out to be great, then i can certainly understand why some people are buying two, cause the is just no way one would keep it in robot mode when the plane mode is the best looking plane ever, and thus to have it in robot mode, a second one is needed .
