connor99 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 angloz say that coming on march but in xl appears april??????? April would be nice, should be enough time to save up for it !
sidearmsalpha Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 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 This is good news! I guess I'm one of the few that actually prefers it blue.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I prefer the blue heatshield too. It goes better with this scheme.
honkhet Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 i prefer it blue too. in my books, only roy deserves a black heat shield, marking the one and only original skull leader. hikaru and max should only get red and blue respectively.

I think the blog says that they received complaints on the color so they corrected the color of the heat shield to black. So I expect it to be black in the 1/60 model... While I support the thinking that "only Focker should get the black", I double-checked that the Max 1S always has a black heatshield in the movie. Unlike Hikaru's 1S, which is red now and black then. Well, then my 1/48 Max 1S has better value that it is not entirely redundant Edited February 8, 2009 by ff95gj
schmungbeen Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah, Im with the blue heatshield on the 1/60 1s Max... though I dont think ill be picking it up anyway, the 1A DYRL will do me just fine. Too much stuff coming out all at once! Not...enough... Money!
jenius Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 A heatshield has to cost like 2 cents to make, they should just give all the VF-1S toys two heatshields and let their owners decide.
Guest sh002 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 damn just make a variant with a blue heatshield. i hope max and milia's vf-ij's come out next.
VFTF1 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I've warmed to Max's TV 1A recently. Decided to put it on my "to get list." Reason is pretty simple: I have Hikaru's 1J TV and will get Kakizake TV... and I suddenly had a cute dream where all three of them were together like the time they went to rescue Misa from the Zendradi It'll be fun having the whole TV team together... Pete
Dobber Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I also preordered the tv max 1A. Will the tv 1A's have the correct style head, or will they just be DYRL style 1A heads? I think I'll probably be getting 3 more vf-1's after this one, a vt-1 and possibly another dyrl valk and a vf-1d. If the 1A heads will differ, that'll probably make my my mind up for me. Chris

Chris this is definitely a tv style head...
VFTF1 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I didn't know that nor did I notice it. So Max is going to have a tv 1A head that is different from the Hikaru 1A DYRL head? Cool Pete
honkhet Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 yes they are different. and i'm sure by now, you would have checked the pics again and noticed the differences... on a side note, i wished they made the TV 1A head a bit fatter like in the lineart... and they clearly did so for the GNU-do TV 1As, why didnt they do it for 1/60 v2
isa_o Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) maybe they used a different team to make the models. or yamato it smoking our money. Edited February 25, 2009 by isa_o
505thAirborne Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 maybe they used a different team to make the models. or yamato it smoking our money. A little bit of both!!!
IXTL Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 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 Black heat shield confirmed on Max 1S.
schmungbeen Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Without sounding too much like an idiot, nor being someone who is able to read Japanese - that heatshield (to me) looks blue under all that shadow. I may be wrong - it may be the shadow. It may also be the relative proximity of that shadow to the blue above it. I dont know. Im not a doctor. But Ill tell you something I do know. I will be getting this.
honkhet Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 even though i hope i'm wrong, but that heat shield looks like blue, its just under a shadow. also, i put the japanese into google translator, and it says nothing about a black heat shield.

emerson Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Can someone remind me when in DYRL the heatshield was black, and when it was blue? I could have sworn it was blue in the dogfight with Millia...

Javabean Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Sure looks black to me. Damn, can they just move the camera to left or right more!
emerson Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 It was black whenever Max's 1S was shown in battroid mode. Really? Man, my eye (or memory) must have unconsciously objected to the color mis-match and color-corrected it...
schmungbeen Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Oh ye men of little faith. Anyone still a Doubting Thomas? see, I knew all too well. Blessed is he who believes without seeing! Black it is! Thanks for those extra pics. I am liking the black - but it does make my choice of what sticker to put on the strike packs more difficult!
honkhet Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 thanks IXTL! i eat my words, black it is! it sure looks awesome with a black heatshield not doubt guess max got it black cos he was promoted prior to hikaru in the movie roy and hikaru were still missing in action when max was promoted by having a black heatshield, max' vf-1s definitely looks higher ranking than hikaru's vf-1s with red heatshield, dont you guys think?
505thAirborne Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I was just watching DYRL for moment during Max's dogfight scene, Its brief, but when hes in Battroid, its definitely a Black heat shield!! I like the Idea of a blue shield better. But accuracy is most important!!
logos Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Give Yamato a chance I am sure they have the "Blue heat shield" Max in the works! What is the version count on the 1/60s currently anyway? 13?
UN Spacy Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 What the heck? Then how come Hikaru's Strike VF-1S has a red canopy?!?!
honkhet Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 What the heck? Then how come Hikaru's Strike VF-1S has a red canopy?!?! yeah.. my sentiments exactly.... but i'll still try to answer that: by right, skull leader shud have a black canopy to distinguish himself from other skull vf-1As.. but since max was promoted first and already received his black canopy, and hikaru got promoted later, guess UN spacy told hikaru: "hey... so u see, while you were still bonding with misa, max was already promoted to skull leader and did a great job. now that you're back, well ur still promoted but... you're gonna get a red heat shield... so please live with it, any questions?... oh yeah, please use the same fast packs you got for ur 1A, we'll add a strike canon for you... and yeah no black color code for ur fast pack skulls either"
honkhet Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 ... did max vf-1s ever appear in macross 7? sorry that i never watched macross 7
VF5SS Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 What the heck? Then how come Hikaru's Strike VF-1S has a red canopy?!?! It switches between red and black. It should probably just be black like Max and Roy.
