CF18 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 How about a 1:1 version for the 30th anniversary? Just remember don't bring it to Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohawa Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) They have a smaller version - it was made by Takatoku 27 years ago. Also the newer crappy Wave one. There would be no point to making ANOTHER small one. Look at the Jumbo Gundams - they have no problem selling those for $300 for a giant piece of Vinyl. Go big Yamato.

Radd Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I would not have been disappointed if Yamato had shown off one the size of the old Takatoku/Matchbox Macross (1/1200 I think?). I would have been disappointed if they showed one off that was any smaller. As for the size they did show off, well....I've already set aside the money for it. If it is going to be $500 or so, however, I hope it's worth it. I don't think they need to make the transformation overly complex, the Macross never had a very complex transformation, but I'd love extras, like light up windows. I'd LOVE light up windows and running lights. That would be fantastic. Being able to see a bit of Macross City inside the leg windows would be superb, too. Hope we're able to move the gun turrets and that the ARMDs are detachable, too. (Future Daedalus and Prometheus release?) Not so interested in the tiny Valkyries. Afraid they'll get lost easily.

David Hingtgen Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'd buy a nice, new, small *TV* version in an instant. I still like the TV version better if for no other reason than a superior transformation/cruiser mode. It actually looks like a ship. DYRL version looks like battroid laying face-down.

Radd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I've really never gotten that. The differences between the two are mostly skin-deep cosmetic changes. I don't see the DYRL Macross looking any less like a ship in cruiser mode than the SDF:M version. If anything, the changes to colour and details made the DYRL version look more like a battleship to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the world only had one battleship, and nobody important expected to actually have to use the thing in their own lifetimes as anything more than an advert for global unification, it wouldn't be painted grey.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) lol agree, i want a TV sdf-1 just as bad. DYRL? style is imo alot more iconic, you see it EVERYWHERE, all the way to the 2080s, and sadly the TV SDF-1 only once. Would be cool if Shoji could fit in the TV SDF-1 in a new OVA one day, and rest the DRYL? style for once. Maybe if he did get bored and wanted to revisit Macross II he could bring her up in the uh *coughSEQUELcough* Edited June 23, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Interesting, a MAC II sequel or a MAC II remake so the story fits properly in the time line. The TV SDF-1 with modern Anime CGI artwork. I'd watch it. And buy a 1/2000 SDF-1 toy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
