EXO Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Is it possible we contact Bandai to release Macross 1/55 VF-1D? That would be great for all Macross fans! at the toynami/bandai booth Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 at the toynami/bandai booth Fu*CK YEA!!!!!! MY CHILDHOOD WILL BE RECREATED! Quote

Vegas Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 finally! im pretty sure now there will be an elint soon! thanks exo Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I'll grab most of the 2 seaters, Super O will be the most fav, Elint not sure.. and hikky 1S i guess will be my only chunky 1 seater. Edited July 24, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Wait a minute....I see 1J, 1A, and a new 1S head.... Maybe I can hold off Hikaru for a while, and get one with the new head next year! TV VF-1A Max, COME TO PAPA! Quote
Rabidweezil Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 What's with the row of heads below the 1D under the label "New Headsculpt for 1/55 collection?" Are they going to redo all 1/55's w/new heads? Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I think the new heads are for when the 1/55's are for the Robotech versions...the TV ones, next year. I think for now Toynami will start with bringing over the valkyries that Bandai already has planned, and release the new TV versions afterwards. Damn now I have one new reason to get a 1/55 Focker type. Quote
danth Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 So how do you guys feel about new heads for 1/55's? Blasphemy or progress? I don't mind the 1D head since there never was one originally. But if these are all about nostalgia, new heads to replace the original just doesn't feel right to me. Quote

Progress...I think the new heads are for the ones for the Robotech line....so you can still keep them seperate, besides its something neat to add to an already classic toy, and the head was definitely one of the things that did not age well.

EXO Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I would care if 1/55s were the only game in town but at this point, it's low priority... but I got love for the 1/55s, they a definite maybe... Quote

AcroRay Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) at the toynami/bandai booth F*ck yeah, man! Gonna be a good year, and next year, too... Even if they don't do Elint, VT or GBPS, I'm still a happy man! Edited July 25, 2008 by AcroRay Quote
many_feedbacks Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Where we can place order (or pre order) for the VF-1D? Quote
Apollo Leader Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I left a message with Kevin Lam (Valkyrie Exchange) last night so hopefully he can dig up some more info on the VF-1D and anything else that might be in the works. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Something tells me that one of these two threads will be closed. To the moderators, please keep both opened. One thread can be dedicated to the Japanese releases while the other thread can be dedicated to the Toynami/Tamashii releases and developments. Quote
misterryno Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Stoked on VF-1D Ummmmmmm..............DITTO!!! Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 So how do you guys feel about new heads for 1/55's? Blasphemy or progress? I don't mind the 1D head since there never was one originally. But if these are all about nostalgia, new heads to replace the original just doesn't feel right to me. Normally I'd cry blasphemy, but as someone else pointed out, the 1/55 toys have been in near-constant production for the past 26 years whether by Takatoku, Bandai, Hasbro, official reissues, and a plethora of bootlegs with varying quality. There will never be a shortage of "classic" heads for the 1/55, therefore I can wholeheartedly welcome these new designs. On another note, I'm very pleased to see Toynami importing more and more proven Japanese toys. This is more efficient than designing (and sometime copying) their own products from the ground up. Their pride must've taken quite a hit when they decided to shelve their trumpeted MPC VF-1 in favor of its 26 year old predecessor, but this is a decision that's going to payoff for them and all Macross/Robotech fans. Quote
jenius Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 They didn't really "shelve" that old MPC, it came out years and years ago now and its product lifecycle has expired. I'd say it is smart they didn't try to go Yamato's version 2.0 route and make an MPC 2 and instead are just pushing the chunkies. Good ol' chunkies. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 im pretty sure now there will be an elint soon! I hope so .... Quote
jembond Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I am totally confused with all of these reissues coming out. Are the 25th anniversary Bandai Macross origins different than the Bandai reissues from about 5 years ago? And is it just the Toynami versions whcih will have the new heads or is it all of the Bandai reissues which will have them. I apologise in advance in case this was answere somewhere else but I couldn't find the answer in the threads Quote
EXO Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 It's the same reissue with minor differences. Hikaru's 1J will have a heatshield and there's going to be a never released Max DYRL 1A with FPs all in new packaging. The new heads and the 1D are for a speculated Robotech version of the line to be distributed by Toynami. Quote
jembond Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Thank you very much. I try to just buy one of each since I collect so may things and this just confused me. Quote
treatment Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 welp! Unfortunately, since HLJ has just opened up the pre-order for the Hikky-1A-FP for August-release, I will have to drop my preorders for the Chunky Max and Hikky 1A-FPs. Hope you guys don't clean out the Bandai-inventory so I can still buy both in the near future, tho. Quote
