transfan52 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Im sold on the 1/60s but im not gonna sell my 1/48s though. Edited June 13, 2008 by transfan52 Quote
Kyp Durron Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I've decided on having one 1/48...(See sig), but that's it, it's all gonna be 1/60 V2's from here on out! -Kyp Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah the legs are sexier. Seeing that they are double jointed i'll be able to do better poses, as with the arms. Kick ass. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I'll eventually pick up at least one 1/60, more depending on color schemes. But I'm not getting rid of my 1/48s. Quote

Neither am I, but instead of buying more Valks for NMB4M's kits i'll just use the existing ones. So i'll have my 1/48 VF-1D, and my VT-1. Oh yes... they will be mine. ----- Figured it out, my 2nd VF-1S Hikky will be my VF-1D, my Angel Bird will be my own Custom valk, and the on sale Angel Bird from hlj.com that i got coming later on will be my VT-1, or vice versa depending on tightness. I'll grab the Kit for the VE-1 but i can't warrant to colour her up just to have a VE-1, more so i want the Booster/FP's and VE-1 Head just so i can use it on my own custom Valk, and of course i can just swap an play the VE-1 cockit with lets say, my own 1/48 custom... So that leaves me with - (1/48) '1' VF-1S Focker/Hikaru '1' VF-1S Hikaru + Strike/FP's '1' VF-1J Hikky (plus GBP-1S) & the TV Super/FP's '1' VF-1A Cannon Fodder '1' VF-1D NMB4M custom '1' VT-1 NMB4M custom '1' VE-1 Kit '1' VF-1 own Custom with Strike/SuperFP's + GBP-1S Clear Parts for Super/FP's now for the 1/60's - Hikaru VF-1S (with Strike/FP Pack) x 1 or 2 Max 1S (or 1A maybe because the 1A will come with Strike/FP pack and i will want extras, i think i'll get the 1A) CF-1A x 1 (or 2) VF-1J Hikky (with GBP-1S) x 1 VF-1J Max & Millia x 1 each VT-1 x 1 VF-1D x 2??? VE-1 x 1 Possibly a 2nd issue Roy 1S and maybe one more GBP-1S but i think yamato will milk the colour variants... A well rounded collection! Who knows, i'll grab a Stealth/Strike/FP pack 1/60 too. .... maybe an Angel Bird... Edited June 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Neova Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 The 1/60 looks so small compared to the 1/48! It's going to look tiny in my display case (if I get one). Wish they made all the improvements, but in 1/48 scale. Once you go big ... it's hard to go back. (insert ... "that's what she said" jokes here ... haha.) It's sad seeing the 1/48 being phased out. Can someone photoshop the 1/60 so it is 1:1 in size, not scale to the 1/48? And perhaps throw in a Hasegawa / Arii or Imai battroid also? Just to compare proportions. 1/60 looks really good in battroid. Almost like those old Arii/Imai model kits. Quote
sil80jdm Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 i absolutely love the 1/48 scale but the only thing that bothers me about it is the seam going down the vf-1s head, im glad they corrected that in the 1/60 so looks like now im going to sell my 1/48 and go for the 1/60 unless somebody recasts a 1/48 head the same way as the 1/60 =) Quote
ipaq1940 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Can someone photoshop the 1/60 so it is 1:1 in size, not scale to the 1/48? i try... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) cool comparison! The nose still looks too pointy to me. If we can get a replacement cone for us longer nose for fighter mode freaks i'll be sooo happy. Edited June 17, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Neova Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) i try... Thanks for the photoshop ipaq. You can tell Yamato took the 1/48 and improved it when scaling down to 1/60! So many similarities! Still on the fence with the smaller chest, shorter nose and skinnier legs but still looks good in a new refreshing way. Edited June 17, 2008 by Neova Quote
connor99 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Not to get off the subject or anything like that, but from this particular comparison pic and the angle it was taken, the lower leg portion of the 1/60 V2 looks similar to that of the HASEGAWA BATTROID model (the one with the TENJIN HIDETAKA box art!). Very interesting! Edited June 17, 2008 by connor99 Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Not to get off the subject or anything like that, but from this particular comparison pic and the angle it was taken, the lower leg portion of the 1/60 V2 looks similar to that of the HASEGAWA BATTROID model (the one with the TENJIN HIDETAKA box art!). Very interesting! Yeah, I always missed the Hasegawa legs on my 1/48's. The new legs are an absolute improve for me. Sleek and anime accurate. As for the nose being shorter, I think it was never meant to be that long anyway. I think we're probably spoiled by the looks of the 1/48 in fighter mode. The details, despite the size, are all there: the inner cockpit looks even sharper in detail. Also I've never noticed how big the chest plate was in the 1/48, now it looks terrible out of proportion to me. The bump behind the cockpit in Fighter mode is my only real gripe. I think it's the only serious setback of the new toy, and completely avoidable IMHO, but I'll get it anyway. I wonder if the transforming hands will be able to hold firmly the gunpod this time. They look big enough for me so if they do their job, I don't think I'll ever resort to the swappable set. Quote
miriya Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I thought I was sold on the 1/60 v.2 but after this comparison shot I am almost certainly back to 1/48. I will still get at least one of the new 1/60 though. Now it is the skinny legs that are bothering me on the v.2. Oh well. Still looks great though. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I'll trade "skinny legs" for "no arms hanging off the bottom of fighter mode" any day. Quote
Omegablue Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) The new 1/60 doe's it for me. More crisp and sharper in detail, and better proportions. Though anyone else find the chest slightly too wide. Edited June 19, 2008 by Omegablue Quote
Godzilla Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I dunno. I still love the 1/48s. I really wished they kept the 1/48 line going especially with them adding the 2 seaters to the line. But oh well. The 1/60 v2 looks good. I will prolly pick up one of each type to keep in line of the 1/60 scale Macross like the Destroids, VF-0, SV-51, yf-21, and the yf-19. I would definitely get a 1/60 Max VF-1S 1/60 v2.0. It would look good against 1/60 Millia Q-Rau as well as the the 2 seaters. Quote
sqidd Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 The 1/60's do look nice but not nice enough to ditch my 1/48's for. I kind of like the bigger scale anyway. On top of that I just finished getting all of the 1/48's available. I don't want to go through all that again! A couple 2 seaters would be cool though..........and I still need to get a 21 on the way...........ah hell, who am I kidding. I probably get a whole bunch of them for no good reason at all. Quote
miriya Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Welcome back Sqidd! I have not seen you around in ages! I was starting to wonder what happened to you. Glad to see you back bro. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Sqidd will probably end up buying all the 1/60s. This is probably his denial phase. Edited June 20, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
persona Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 i was just looking around yamato website and saw this you can view other comparison images here http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_049/index_2.html im sorry if this was already posted. anyway im still at lost on what scale to collect myself. i like the 1/48 because i like its size. it also looks better alongside macross plus/zero 1/60 valks. to me its just weird that zero planes are 18 meters long, SDF valks are 14 meters and then it went to 18 meters again in macross frontier...

Nani?! Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 this is the type of thing I want to see. really shows off what this new vf-1 brings to the table and for me, justifies the purchase of yet another vf-1. Thanks for the link. Lovin it. Quote
Mr March Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Love the added articulation. That's exactly what I want. Thanks for posting the pictures. Seriously cool. This new 1/60 scale VF-1 looks better with every picture. Quote
sqidd Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Welcome back Sqidd! I have not seen you around in ages! I was starting to wonder what happened to you. Glad to see you back bro. I have been trolling for a while but I am so busy with biz. stuff and racing this time of year that I don't have a ton of time and I have not even thought about my collection in months. Of course I have looked at it, you can't miss it. It's my whole office. But I have not bothered to sit down and figure out what my next purchase is going to be, I need to put up more shelves.........it never stops. I think I even have a few Valks in boxes down stairs that I have not even opened yet. It's nice to be missed though (did that sound gay?) Quote
sqidd Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Sqidd will probably end up buying all the 1/60s. This is probably his denial phase. Oh yeah, sure. And you are helping. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 It's nice to be missed though smile.gif (did that sound gay?) I can't believe how ghey that sounded! You know you need some new 1/60's Squiddy. Quote
misterryno Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I can't believe how ghey that sounded! ........yo Sqidd my man.....you gonna be at the Con?!? Quote
sqidd Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) ........yo Sqidd my man.....you gonna be at the Con?!? Unfortunately no. I don't get to do stuff like that in the summer. I am always at the track either working or racing. I'm all loaded up and leaving in a few hours for this weekend out of town. I will be doing a little of this about 8am Saturday morning though Could be worse. I could have a real job Edited June 21, 2008 by sqidd Quote

sqidd Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 So, you coming to my hometown Assen for the MotoGP next week then? Not after they screwed up the track a few years back, LOL. Just kidding. I have never been to Europe. I love the origonal Assen layout though....CRAZY FAST! I may be doing some Italian Superbike stuff this fall though. Lots of world class tracks all within a few hundred miles of each other! Yummie! Quote

g3173 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 The 1/60 looks OOOOOOOHHHHH so sweet and these guys are easier to display.. or I should say.. you can display more of them on your shelves vs. the 1/48! Unfortunately no. I don't get to do stuff like that in the summer. I am always at the track either working or racing. I'm all loaded up and leaving in a few hours for this weekend out of town.
