miriya Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Does Yamato need a special license to do the Minmei guard schemes? Does Hasegawa own those? Here is an idea for YAMATO, a VF-1 DIY (Do it yourself) figure, all white, with no tampo printing, comes with stickers and decals, and with all the heads, A, D, J, S, and a plain white pilot. Then we get to have the fun to paint them up and decal them how we want. Would anyone go for that? I would. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Great idea!!! I'd buy an all white valk and maybe leave it that way. It's like getting your hands on one of those prototype valks from the pics of the magazines Quote

How the hell are we to make more money from you infantile and naive, dolts? Quote
eriku Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 As boring and plain as it may be, I would be all over an all-white valk with no marking other than the UN Spacy kites. In fact this is something I've wanted for a while. Half the reason I like Max's TV 1A is because it's almost all white when viewed from the top in fighter mode. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) As to those wondering about the YF-19 recolours, am I the only one seeing similarities with the F-15 prototype and the F-15 S/MTD?No, members here called it once they saw the YF-19 hasegawa kits painted in Super Nova schemes in the hobby mags years back. MacrossWorld Members say, "That's an awesome idea." Yamato says, "Fcuk no!! How the hell are we to make more money from you infantile and naive, dolts? Kawamori says "Brown/tan what? No, no, it really is grey..yes grey.." you know what... If Yamato is allowed to release VFs from M7 or whatever... as long as they are not canon schemes or belong to show-specific pilots... Then they should go ahead and do that. I'll buy them anyway, since I couldn't care less about any of the pilots in M7 or MFrontier anyway. Bring on all your non-canon variants (of VF-19s and VF-17s especially); it's better than getting DXes or VF100s. Besides, some canon schemes just aren't all that great anyway. I'm all for a canon Blazer Valkyrie so long as it does not have the weak points of the YF-19(breakage areas, if it is retooled to be more durable then HELL YEA!).

optimator88 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 DIY 1/48 VF-1 with minmay guard stickers/decals! Well, since I'm dreaming anyway, Yamato should just tampo print the whole valk in a MG moon act scheme Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) 1/60 Scale VF-2SS + SAP. Bandai will never make one, So let YAMATO do it and make it Accurate!! You know you'd want one Canon or no Canon!! Edited April 21, 2009 by 505thAirborne Quote
Cent Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) No offense, but the VF-2SS looks like a demented VF thats about to fall to pieces. Hate me. I guess it can be one of the few Yamato products where hideous gaps are acceptable. Edited April 21, 2009 by Cent Quote
thankheaven Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 A VF-19 (Blazer or Fire) is alot more work to make then a VF-22 since its just a couple of things different from the 21, but we can always hope. Im wondering, since yamato is doing the 22 from Dynamite, might we see some commercial Vf-1's and whale hunter customs ? VF-1's with harpoons FTW Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 No offense, but the VF-2SS looks like a demented VF thats about to fall to pieces. Hate me. I guess it can be one of the few Yamato products where hideous gaps are acceptable. None taken, but its amazing how so many of other Valk's get even a chance to be appreciated and yet this one is just a WTF? in some peoples eyes. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 1/60 Scale VF-2SS + SAP. Bandai will never make one, So let YAMATO do it and make it Accurate!! You know you'd want one Canon or no Canon!!And Yamato will? I hope they do but years ago they told Graham that they probably wouldn't. Maybe if the licensing dispute was actually, well, ya know, FINISHED over here and they could cater to us, yet even so, are we enough of an audience to even cater to for such an obscure design? Again I hope we will see a PT 1/60 VF-2SS and even a VF-2JA(come on I can't be the only guy that liked the design) as well as a Metal Siren, however I think it's unlikely. Most of it depends on how well received the Macross II mecha designs are in Japan. Are they popular in Japan? I'm talking aside from Kawamori. Do fans want toys of those? Maybe but I wouldn't know.

Ghost Train Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 No offense, but the VF-2SS looks like a demented VF thats about to fall to pieces. Hate me. I guess it can be one of the few Yamato products where hideous gaps are acceptable. Blasphemy! /calls the Macross inquisition lol jk, Yep, that massive SAP rail gun would fall apart in atmospheric manuevers ... but I love the non-SAP version of the valk, design wise it's a bit of the old and the new combined. Quote
Repiv_Onex Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 i'd definitelty love to see the yf-21 in a different paint scheme my guess is that yamato can go all in to make kick-ass, non-canon paint schemes with the non vf-1 molds that they already have this would avoid license issues i guess YF-19 YF-21 VF-11B VF-0 SV-51 (already has 3 schems to it, unlikely i guess) I'm late. VF-0 has 3 schemes too. I hope the repaints are the blue supernova scheme for 19 and a orange supernova scheme for 21. A VF-19A Raven scheme would be awesome too. Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) And Yamato will? I hope they do but years ago they told Graham that they probably wouldn't.

Glad to know someone else likes the VF-2JA design!! If they are popular in Japan, I'm not too sure, but for the wrong reasons Mac II got a really really bad reputation and hence the mecha designs have been dumped on a bit!! But everyone is cool to have their own opinion!! Fortunately "Ghost Train" I don't think the SAP rail gun would ever be used in the atmosphere, or the Pilot would be chewed out by superior for that!! But I say again, WHERE IS MY 1/60 VF-0D & VF-4 YAMATO????? Edited April 21, 2009 by 505thAirborne Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm so hoping Yamato would make the VF-2SS! And eventhough I think the cartoon sucked, I love the mecha. Quote
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 VF-0D, VF-4 and one more VF (I'm not saying which) are on the short list for the next 1/60 PT Valk, to be released next year. VF-4 is currently least favorite though, so VF-4 fans don't get your hopes up too high. Graham Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 While I thought the VF-2SS battroid looked decent enough, I'm not sure I ever liked the fighter mode that much. To tell the truth, I don't know why, but I actually liked the VF-XX design better. Also, am I the only person that thinks the metal siren is second only to the VA-3 Invader in ugliness? >.> Quote
geepogi Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 VF-4 is currently least favorite though, well, that's not here. Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Graham. Is your hate for the VF-4 the reason why it isn't being made? I hope you're not trying to sway them b/c most MW'ers would buy one. Quote
eugimon Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 VF-0D, VF-4 and one more VF (I'm not saying which) are on the short list for the next 1/60 PT Valk, to be released next year.

Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I don't hate the VF-4. But it's never really appealed to me either. There's lots of other VFs I'd prefer to see made before the VF-4. While I'd like to say I have that much influence at Yamato, I doubt what I say will effect their final decision too much in the end. Graham Quote

VF-4 is currently least favorite though, so VF-4 fans don't get your hopes up too high. Graham Let me guess, VF-0D is the front runner as it would require the least new tooling, fallowed by the unnamed valk which I bet is a VF-17. The VF-17 would be more expensive to develop, but can capitalize on the success of Frontier by virtue of being similar to the VF-171. additionally the VF-17 features predominantly in Mac7 which is like it or not the largest chunk of Macross cannon. In other words the VF-4 is getting shafted do to lack of screen time... how disappointing. :edits: Also, am I the only person that thinks the metal siren is second only to the VA-3 Invader in ugliness? >.> yes you are, the Metal siren is the worst looking valk ever, and the VA-3 is bitchin' and should not be disrespected. vf-5000, it's okay you can say it. vf-5000. no, please no, just no... can we have something that isn't tiny AND looks like crap PLEASE!?!? Edited April 22, 2009 by anime52k8 Quote
geepogi Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 maybe because it is actually hard for yamato to find the best compromise between fighter, gerwalk and battroid modes and all the while making it pt? Quote
honkhet Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 ...and one more VF (I'm not saying which) are on the short list for the next 1/60 PT Valk, to be released next year. Graham is it you cant say which VF, bcos if you say it might just have some undesired effect on the sales of another 1/60 VF product currently in the market right now? js kidding anyway, looking into the nearer future, a good repaint of the VF-11B cant be too far away Quote
eugimon Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 no, please no, just no... can we have something that isn't tiny AND looks like crap PLEASE!?!? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I HATE THE VF-5000!!! clear enough for you? Edited April 22, 2009 by anime52k8 Quote
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Metal siren is the worst looking valk ever, and the VA-3 is bitchin' and should not be disrespected. I second that. Graham Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I don't hate the VF-4. But it's never really appealed to me either. There's lots of other VFs I'd prefer to see made before the VF-4. While I'd like t The VF-0D and the unnamed valk might be easier to design as a perfect transformation toy and to tool up, than the VF-4. It's probably more difficult to maintain the sleekness/slender of the VF-4's fighter mode(one of it's key aspects) while keeping it PT compared to retooling the current VF-0A mold with new wings, vertical stabilizers, and cockpit. In other words the VF-4 is getting shafted do to lack of screen time... how disappointing. Doubt it, it's not like the VF-22S Gamlin Custom was onscreen much either. Also this year is the 15th anniversary of Macross 7, so that might have something to do with the 22S release. yes you are, the Metal siren is the worst looking valk ever, and the VA-3 is bitchin' and should not be disrespected. Metal Siren was awesome. Quote
eugimon Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Metal Siren was awesome. the awesome suck, maybe. Quote
miriya Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I hope that the third unmentioned Valk is the VF-3000 though I also like the VF-5000 though just not as much as the 3000. But yeah, thank you Graham for "nearly confirming" the VF-0D and VF-4. That is very good news. Quote
Vifam7 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 The VF-4 will happen. It's just a matter of time. It's not only MW's most requested, it's also oft requested by many Japanese fans. Wild guess at the mystery 1/60 PT Valk mentioned by Graham -> VF-9. Only because Kawamori said he said he wanted to see a PT toy of it. Quote
edwin3060 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 VF-0D: Hallelujah! I do hope we get to see all three choices made into 1/60s though. *starts eating ramen and saving up* Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 VF-0D, VF-4 and one more VF (I'm not saying which) are on the short list for the next 1/60 PT Valk, to be released next year. . Graham Can we say the VF-5000 ! Quote
