Graham Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Well, rumours in the other thread are that Yamato is going to come up with their own PT 1/100 line. Not that I've heard.
anime52k8 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Doesn't help that the subject material looks like @$$ to begin with Vostok 7 exactly my point, they took my least favorite valk, and made it into a poorly proportioned partsformer. at least bandai's redeemed themselves slightly with how Cool the DX quarter and EX-Gear prototypes look.
jenius Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Congrats to all that guessed the VF-19 Kai was next. It's a terrible Valk that looks even worse in Bandai's rendition (judging from that prototype). I sincerely hope the final product is better.
badboy00z Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Ex-gear prototypes?? I'm disappointed that the VF-19 Blazer valk is not on the list... I actually prefer the lanky look of the VF100 VF-19 over the short stocky look of the line art. Edited February 22, 2009 by badboy00z
Black Valkyrie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 So when is the release date for the VF-19F ?
anime52k8 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 you know what the 1/100 VF-19 looks like. it looks like an LFO from eureka 7. it's got the bulky upper body, the skinny legs and the lanky arms just like them. it even has the funny looking boxy glove hands.
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Not that I've heard. Ahh well, false rumours then. It wouldn't be smart of Yamato to compete directly against Bandai i guess. About the VF-19F: Maybe Bandai just hates Macross 7? They haven't made any good products for it that I can think of I just hope the fighter mode looks good.

About the VF-19F: Maybe Bandai just hates Macross 7? They haven't made any good products for it that I can think of I just hope the fighter mode looks good. The model kits for Macross 7 were considered quite nice. The 1/100 Fire Valk kit in particular has excellent anime-like proportions. (Doesn't it look nice? Not painted or anything! No, it's not my work) Folks, it waaaaay too early to judge the form of the new VF100s Fire Valk until we see the first painted prototypes. That pic on the poster could be anything.
DarkReaper Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 No matter how anime accurate the Model is going to be it will still look horrid. No amount of skill and detail can make a VF-19 Kai look good.
protostar8 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Wow, I think Bandai made a very bad decision to make the VF-19 the next valk to be released. This early in the line, they need to be bringing out the heavy hitters that will get lots of sales to fund the rest of the line, I don't think the VF-19 will sell that well... Edit: Oh, and the design does look like ass. Never really liked it even though I love the YF-19. Edited February 22, 2009 by protostar8
505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 No matter how anime accurate the Model is going to be it will still look horrid. No amount of skill and detail can make a VF-19 Kai look good. Agreed!!

Fly4victory Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Bandai's sculpt for the model of the Kia was better looking than the toy but have always thought the metal coat version was more fitting. The only function that would make the new 1/100 more attractive than the old model is if the shoulders open to show the speakers.
Ghost Train Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 SV-51, VF-2, VF-4... my dreams have been answered
lechuck Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Looking at that poster, I would say most of my wants are covered. Hikaru Strike, VF-4, VF-2SS, VF-11, VF-17D, and of course VF-25S w/o Armor. Can't say I care about Basara's VF-19, but I'm sure the other variants including my favourite, the VF-19S will made... and that makes me excited. There is only three more Valks I want for this line: VF-5000, VF-11D and SW-XA1 Schneeblume.

That pic on the poster could be anything. The old kit did look fantastic in Battroid mode, however, the fighter mode left A LOT to be desired. Fit was horrible, it was floppy, and it just looked incomplete. I'm going to assume for now the new VF100 version looks like that so it has a good figther mode, but I'll reserve my judgement until I see more/better pics of a more final version.
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Well, regardless, I have to say, if Bandai is going to make every single one of the VFs pictured on that page, I will buy at least 1 of each of them. Just to be a completist
DarkReaper Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Which fighter is this one?? SW-XA1 Schneeblume? http://www.macross.com.cn/city/mobile-engi..._enginery_id=94
alfye Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Completism! Bandai loves this word hehehe With molds made, we will have VF/100´s in all colors and configuations. Very good series if sales are very good too
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Which fighter is this one?? SW-XA1 Schneeblume? Here you have more pics of it:
505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Here you have more pics of it: Thanks guys, I've seen this fighter before, but forgot what its designation number was. This is one of the best designs out there, I am suprised its never been in any of the Macross productions yet. or at least a produced model kit. I'm saving the pics of this one so i don't forget next time!!!
GGemini Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Finally... VF-4 According to ANN: The displayed list for Bandai's VF-100's toy line is for a future survey of what customers may want for the line. All of the designs may not be made into toys.
Graham Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Bummer. Well, I guess this line is going to be sales driven, so the more we buy of each release, the more chance there is of getting our personal favorite VF made. As long as we get a VF-171, VF-2SS, VF-17, VF-27 and VF-4 made, I'll be happy. Don't reallly care too much about any of the others on the poster, as they are mostly covered by Yamato anyway. Graham

All of the designs may not be made into toys. Pad the votes then. If you want a certain VF100, then get the Japanese consumers to push for a certain VF then. Or find some way to get Graham into Bandai's front door.
Guest sh002 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 come on bandai just produce all of them and more and just use this voting method to see which one to produce next.
Vifam7 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Pad the votes then. If you want a certain VF100, then get the Japanese consumers to push for a certain VF then. Or find some way to get Graham into Bandai's front door. If my reading of Japanese fans is correct, one can definitely be sure that the VF-4 is at the top of the list. Probably followed closely by the VF-17/171 and VF-2SS. Let's hope sales are good. That's the one thing that'll keep this line alive. I'm doing my part.
edwin3060 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Here you have more pics of it: Looks like some of the design elements went into the VF-0A... Esp the head, the wings etc. I'll be doing my part too! I hope they eventually produce every single one of those though. Edited February 23, 2009 by edwin3060
IHATEYOU Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 If anything they should lay off the vf-1's and do the ones that haven't been done yet. But what are the chances that they would really do that?
Letigre Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Looks like some of the design elements went into the VF-0A... Esp the head, the wings etc. Well they do predate Zero's production by a year or two; it almost seems like the Schneeblume was adapted to become the VF-0(A). Edited February 23, 2009 by Letigre
Dobber Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) So does anyone know why the vf-25G is more expensive than Ozma's or Alto's? Does it come with something extra? Chris Edited February 23, 2009 by Dobber
Graham Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The 1/00 VF-25G will come with a spare set of wings with speaker pods attached.
Letigre Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The 1/00 VF-25G will come with a spare set of wings with speaker pods attached. No way..that means it may look better than the DX with it's clip-on speaker pods!
DarkReaper Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 So when can we expect the first reviews of it? When were the first supposed to ship again? Tommorow?
