I didn't see a poll like this made, so I thought I'd make it and see how you all vote!

Going to go with the 1/48 vf-1s roy type with FP. It's what my mind immediately flashes to when I think of Macross and and right now, I think it's the best representation.

Maybe I'll change my mind and think the 1/60 ver 2 is better when I get mine.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

YF-21!!!

[MacrossMan]

I voted for the 1/48 VF-1J/A without FP. My vote would have to be for my 1/48 custom VF-1D 2-seater because it represents the first Valkyrie we saw change its configuration before we learned of Roy's badness and the rest of the crew. Besides that it's extremely rare! 1/48's till I die homie!

OO

[dizman]

I'd go for a 1/48 Roy 1S without fast packs.

[robodragon]

Sorry can't vote. Mine would be a VF-4 1/48 scale. I would trade all my Valkyries for one vf-4. Well, maybe not all. OK I would just buy one.

[Aegis!]

I'll take a 1/60 VF-5000 any day of the week, .

Seriously though, If I had to choose from current Yamato releases I'd go with the 1/60 VF-1J. It's the perfect size, stays in scale with most other Yamato valks, has many improvements over past VF-1 toys, and it's the most iconic VF out of all the SDF valks for me.

edit; yeah I forgot, make it a GBP if possible .

[Rine]

I went with the YF-21 for this. It was a tough call for me because I also think of Roy's VF-1S when I think of Macross, but the fighter mode on the 1/60 YF-21 is absolutely beautiful. that's what made that one win over the VF-1S for me.

Yeah, this poll only concerns Yamato's current and known upcoming releases. Not any fantasy VF-4's, VF-5000's, or anything else.

[ShadowerV2]

Max 1J with Fps and a Strike cannon.

[hal9000]

VF-1A CANNON FODDER babe, It's still my favorit after all these years. FP just for something extra. Very close second is Roy FP, Gatta love Roy. And always in fighter.... Except when in Gerwalk

[Necron_99]

I voted for my 1/48 VF-1S strike. I'm thinning out my collection right now, and this is the only one that I will not part with.

and my soon-to-be 1/60 VF-1S strike!

Edited July 1, 2008 by Necron_99

[KOTUS]

In a perfect world, it would be:

1/48 VF-1D

[arrow]

I would have to go with 1/48 vf1-D as well.

[doodler7]

I would say the 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru's Red Stripe version with the dark gray fast packs that took down the Zentradi's main ship in dyrl.

[danth]

I'd want a new style 1/60 VF-1 with fast packs. You can't beat the VF-1, and the new 1/60 looks best in all modes. And might as well have fast packs. If I had to pick, I'd take a 1J.

[Uxi]

I looooove my YF-21. Wish the t-bar thing wasn't cracked on one end.

[renkenjutsu]

As much as I love my VF-0A, I'd definitely want to keep a VF-11B more. Please come out soon and without glitches!

[transfan52]

I think im with the majority here, I would pick the 1/48 VF-1S w fast packs just for the sheer size.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Probably a 1/48 VT-1 or VF-1D kitted up (NMB4M) assuming it will have working tail fins (hinty! )

AND double jointed elbows (and knees?) if it was for the VF-1D 1/48 kitted.

okokok i voted 1/60 scale v.2 VT-1.

Good thread!

(trivia - i started out with the VT-1 1/60 v.1 as my first Yamato then 1/48 Hikky 1S, but VT-1 gets the nod for all round sexy)

Edited July 1, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

[d3v]

VF-1 with FAST pack, because nothing beats out the classic.

[Peyoro]

Well, the 1/48 VF-1s without FP will always spread adrenaline in my blood, coz´ size does matter¡¡¡¡¡ And it's a classic..

Vote¡¡

[misterryno]

I went for the 1/48 w/Booby Ducks.

[eriku]

1/48 VF-1A Angelbirds. I'm guessing I'll be the only one casting that vote.

[Kyp Durron]

Well, I've owned a 1/48, a VF-0S first and second edition, and a YF-19. And I have to say that overall, the 1/48 is the best I've had so far.

It appears that it's still Yamato's best effort to date, though I haven't got the YF-21 in my hands yet. And I've never owned a SV-51 either.

-Kyp

[Sumdumgai]

1/60 VF-11B as long as it's up to the standards of current releases in the looks and transformation department.

[Ghostkiller]

1/60 VF-11B (when it comes out) with fast pack !!!

it has a great balance in all 3 modes

and second roy or hikaru 1S 1/48

no way I can have one actually

[Godzilla]

Man tough choices... Mine would be either a VF-1S Max with FP DYRL or the VF-1J Max FP. He is absolutely my fav character. But you all know me, I wouldnt just stop there.

[Kyp Durron]

Well, I didn't make this poll to be an easy choice, lol. I made this because I wanted to see what those of you who own all or most of the Yamato Valks made so far think is the best of them all.

-Kyp

[Raptor One]

Yea I voted for the 1/60 v2 VT-1. This was always the toy I wanted to geet from way back when before Yamato made their VF-1's I wanted the Bandai version so much but it was soooo expensive (especially for a high school kid lol). I passed on the 1/60 version1 but I can't waaait for the version 2 to come out. I will finally have my dream valk!

[Kelsain]

VF-11B

This is a habit I can't afford to form, but I'll make this one exception. I luv it so.

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

I went with the YF-21 for this. It was a tough call for me because I also think of Roy's VF-1S when I think of Macross, but the fighter mode on the 1/60 YF-21 is absolutely beautiful. that's what made that one win over the VF-1S for me.

Same here. I think a lot of it has to do with the macross plus anime though. Recently watching it, it made me like it even more than the vf-1 which is my fave valk in terms of look, simplicity and practical use (looks to have nice set of upgrades and is the workhorse of space war I). Basically it's the first valk and gets the most recognition and the simplicity of the transformation is part of the appeal. (it seems like each step to get from on mode to another is natural)

The 21 though, just has a nice smooth look to it. It's not angular like the vf-17, but it looks like it would be more agile (the power is from its speed and efficiency not from bulk of its form or mass - lots of power in small space) and precise.

I would have chosen vf-11 if this was only about fighter mode, but the 11 doesn't have that powerful look. It's light, unlike the vf-17, but it doesn't suggest good speed. (ie flat squarish surfaces in robot mode for example)

Yeah bro! :D version 1 was still sexy though. You had more will power than me!

Mind you, this is before i saw what the 1/48's were like...

[Impreszive]

I'm really starting to want just the CF Fast Pack 1A

I've seen a few for sale. Maybe I will buy one one of these days...

[nightmareB4macross]

I didn't see a button for "any."

"Any" meaning any valkyrie that is free and clear of QC or design issues. I actually love all the Macross mecha, just not all Yamato's renditions there of.
