micheal Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Why is Max's head a VF-1S instead of a 1A!? In Do You Remember love, he flew a VF-1S in one scene.
kanedaestes Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 In the best scene in the whole film in my opinion.
Vostok 7 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 In the best scene in the whole film in my opinion. Indeed, that fight with Millia is epic Vostok 7
Javabean Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Yeah, that's my fav fight scene in DYRL too. Its kinda fair competition where each of them took turns getting hit at, unlike in TV version where only Max hving the upper hand.
505thAirborne Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Its probably the best dog fight scene of the Macross series in my book!! I never get bored watching it!! Edited January 21, 2009 by 505thAirborne
Renato Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 There's a story behind that. IIRC, in that episode, Max single-handedly blows up a Zentraedi ship so the animators were like "Wait, one VF-1 shouldn't be able to do that... let's draw missiles all over his tail fins to explain it." Then again, maybe I'm typing too much when I'm tired again. Yes, this is true. Ichiro Itano is behind this change. The previous episode saw Hikaru have trouble beating the same enemy, even though he had the full armoured GBP, so these tailfin missiles were added to avoid a continuity problem. This info comes from one of those many freebie books that came with Animage featuring production notes aplenty. The lineart designs for the scene were also published in there, I never saw them anywhere else.
logos Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) If anyone finds some closeup pics of the TV version VF-1A head can they post them? I want to see how that, what appears to be, seam line looks going down the middle of the head. Trying to decide if I want a couple DYRL or TV versions and while I am a pretty much indifferent to the paint scheme (except battroid mode, kind of) I will buy the one with the better head. So far I really like how the DYRL VF-1A's black cowling hides it from the pics. But then I do like the paint job, of the TV version, better in battroid mode. Damn. So many versions so little money!

Black Valkyrie Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Speaking of VF-1 Max, I`ve purchase the original 1/60 VF-1J M&M set from my friend for 80$ the set cuz now he prefers small figures like the Revos and he has the all Revo Macross line, including VF-M&M. Pics soon. . . . Its seems I`ll be getting more VF-1 1/60, 1/60 ver.2

Guest sh002 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 damn hlj has early bird preorders for the vf-1a, vf-1a tv, and vf-1s max but they are all a little higher than overdrive. does anyone know if any of these can be sent sal through hlj? the option would be to pay now with overdrive but maybe save some money (which i don't have any right now) or preorder with hlj, get to pay a little later, but maybe pay a little more. however shipping with sal might balance the total price compared to overdrive's ems shipping. the last option would be to wait until way later, hope that none of these are out of production, and buy them at about the same price that they originally were selling for.
Folka Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hlj will only ship out your order through ems if it exceeds 15,000 yen or if somehow your order is to big to fit the size limit of sal.
DarkHawk Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 It looks like the TV version of the VF-1A is using a new TV style head sculpt instead of just being a movie version VF-1A with the TV version paint scheme. Or am i just slow to post a comment?... Thats ok though...I am still getting it... HELLO macross valkyries......good bye tax refund check
Impreszive Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah. I think I am using some of my tax refund to get a Max 1A. I cannot wait.
macrossnake Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I think the TV Max VF-1A is the best 1A color theme... can't wait for it.
Javabean Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I recalled Graham once said that TV Max 1A is rather "bland" looking
IXTL Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Yamato's blog seems to mention that the production version of Max's VF-1S will have a black heat shield. http://www.yamato-toys.com/blog/index.php?logid=97 Edited January 30, 2009 by IXTL
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Ahh sweet!, makes the 1A DYRL? worth the price for the difference in sheild colour then.
Javabean Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I backed the idea of a black heatshield on 1S Max, i really like it. Hope what we saw in the website is just a prototype sample.
ff95gj Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 While I am indifferent on the color of the heat shield, I feel a bit uneasy that Hikaru's 1S heat shield is red not black. Well... We might as well have argued why Focker's heat shield isn't yellow... I don't know. Personally I prefer Focker to be special, not Hikaru. Or look at it in another way; the blue 1A has a blue heatshield, so should be the blue 1S. Or they should have made the Hikaru 1S heat shield black too. I sure did see a screenshot or two of this bird with a black heat shield.
eugimon Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 shrug, hikaru is the main character, I'm fine with him having the special valk.
ff95gj Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 shrug, hikaru is the main character, I'm fine with him having the special valk. That was actually mindless ranting; I am getting it even if they paint it pink.
Valkyrie addict Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 in DYRL Max's 1S heatshield is black but blue on his 1A that last image is from Macross 7
Javabean Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) The next Macross Chronicle magazine vol 14 will feature Max 1S & with black heatshield. http://www.macrossf.com/information/information.html Edited February 2, 2009 by Javabean
valhary Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) i hope that coming with 2 heatshields one black dyrl and one blue macross 7 Edited February 3, 2009 by valhary
Javabean Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I too hoping for 2 option heatshield provided, so all will be happy. C'mon Yamato, did you hear that! Its Fans choice!
Vostok 7 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 in DYRL Max's 1S heatshield is black but blue on his 1A that last image is from Macross 7 What in the... Did they forget how a -1S head was designed? Goodness. Vostok 7
boota Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I too hoping for 2 option heatshield provided, so all will be happy. C'mon Yamato, did you hear that! Its Fans choice! What if Max arrives with one heat shield and two bottles of paint?
diabloM Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 cant decide which one to preorder...max dyrl vf-1s or max tv vf-1a...dont tell me max vf-1j is coming...argh...virgin road...im poor...
Foblander Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 cant decide which one to preorder...max dyrl vf-1s or max tv vf-1a...dont tell me max vf-1j is coming...argh...virgin road...im poor... I think the VF-1a tx max is the way to go. Looks so classic I can't decide between the VF-1s roy version vs. the hikaru version..
Javabean Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yamato's blog seems to mention that the production version of Max's VF-1S will have a black heat shield. http://www.yamato-toys.com/blog/index.php?logid=97 So far, any latest news abt the actual colour of heat shield for Max 1S?
chowyunskinny Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Are they not doing a DYRL 1A bundled with Fast Packs? Standalone only?
eugimon Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I think the VF-1a tx max is the way to go. Looks so classic I can't decide between the VF-1s roy version vs. the hikaru version.. the 1s hikaru seems to be less shoulder cracking injury prone than the 1s roy, so get the hikaru.
honkhet Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) i think there shouldnt be any debate on the colour of max vf-1s heat shield, its blue just look at the yamato product page photos. yamato's blog mentioning it to be black may just be a typo. and if we're referring to that macross chronicles cover, then we might as well say the head lasers are white :S anyway, i'm only getting the max vf-1j if and when it comes out... none other Edited February 5, 2009 by honkhet
valhary Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) angloz say that coming on march but in xl appears april??????? Edited February 6, 2009 by valhary
