miriya Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Nice clip on accesory. Is your version PT integrated? That would be really impressive.
AcroRay Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 A vintage Takatoku piece I picked up thanks to YahooJP (Y1000 in a water-damaged box). This is a classic Chogokin-style figure about 5" tall - probably 1/12000 scale. Colorful metallic paint and decals, soft details, rather like the old pocket-size or 2-in-1 Shogun Warrior toys. And much like those older chogokin, its got heavy slabs of diecast to give it some nice heft. In this case, its legs are diecast: Background was an old NASA black and white I jazzed up in Photoshop and added stars to.
miriya Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 ... can you guess who the seats are from??? Is it Prowl?
nightmareB4macross Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Is your version PT integrated? That would be really impressive. Are referring to my 1/48 VF-1D?
Kicker773 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) lets hurry it up already..=) I want!!! I want!!!! So sexy Edited March 15, 2009 by Kicker773
nightmareB4macross Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Sorry the pic is a little small, but it's better than nothing.
MacrossMan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Sorry the pic is a little small, but it's better than nothing. Yo! What is that?
MacrossMan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Are referring to my 1/48 VF-1D? Oh damn!!! Now that's just plain wrong for you to even tease like that! Sick my man...sick! Of course in good way!!!
nightmareB4macross Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Oh damn!!! Now that's just plain wrong for you to even tease like that! Sick my man...sick! Of course in good way!!! Don't worry there should be a few available at this year's MWCon.
Kicker773 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) But I won't be able to make it to CON =( Edited March 15, 2009 by Kicker773
ff95gj Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 got beaten to the punch on this... here's my much simpler version, not as elaborate as the other one, but here it is anyway... didn't dare cannibalize one of my VFs... a TF is easier (and cheaper) to cannibalize... It's so cool!! It happens that there was this same idea on TD yesterday!! You said you aren't good at modelling, you liar.
wolfx Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Are referring to my 1/48 VF-1D? You can't be serious....that's awesome!
Mog Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Are referring to my 1/48 VF-1D? Oh you little tease! Very nice add-on features. Can't wait to see this fully done up!
m0n5t3r Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Looks like classics bumblebee to me. and we have a winner... It's so cool!! It happens that there was this same idea on TD yesterday!! You said you aren't good at modelling, you liar. yeah, i saw that right before i took those pics, but i had the idea and everything ready weeks before. that's why i was so antsy to get my 1D... even tried that and the detachable arm thing with my 1S... ... my shaky hands make me bad at applying stickers and panel-lining... but i might try that pro-modellers wash one of these days... @NB4M - that custom kit is genius...

May I ask what you used for the sprue that holds the two seats up?
nightmareB4macross Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 May I ask what you used for the sprue that holds the two seats up? Please share. I'm curious to know as well. In the meantime, here's my TV Max hanging out with DYRL 1A Hikaru. Sorry about the crappy pic. I'll try to post better pics later.
miriya Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Are referring to my 1/48 VF-1D? AWESOME!!!! I want a set. I will most likely make it to the con this year. Maybe I can be one of those lucky ones who gets one of your kits?
emerson Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 1/48 is soooooo BOSS. Love the 1/48s too! In my mind SIZE is a huge factor when it comes to a toy's appeal. Since I don't play with my toys and would rather have shelf presence, the toy's sculpt and size are most important to me. Throw in paint & coloring as the third criteria and that rounds out the toy's aesthetics. Outside of Macross, for example, I love Marmit's Daigokin line. Huge, shiny, heavy, lusty gokin love. With no features and articulation. But when I walk into my toy room, these guys scream "COOL" off the shelf. Ditto with the Jumbo Grade Gundams. Yep, vintage Jumbo Machinders and modern Fewture's Gigabyte Super Robot figures are aweome too, even more so because of their super funky attitudes. And recently, I've been wondering how great the Popy GA series diecast super robots from the 1970's would be amazing if they were all Chokinzoku-sized, or even modern SOC sized, instead of just the measly 4-inches or so. It's the reason I was so "meh" about the beautiful Wave WHAM SDF-1's, and watch everyone bitch about the size of the upcoming 1/2000 version from Yamato with unabated anticipation. Point is, the biggest incarnations of a toy will always have my vote, even if it is less tricked out in other categories that are, frankly, less important to me. It goes back to tapping into my inner kid; when I first was exposed to these anime titles as a kid, the overriding sense was always "Whoaaaa, biiiiiig, coooool." That robot is taller than my house! That ship has a city in its stomach! Big toys capture that that "oooh ahhh" spirit. The kind where you hold it and grin like a big dumb kid, and your girlfriend, at best rolls her eyes and smiles and reminds herself of your other, many redeeming qualities.
mechatek Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 NB4M, come on! Yamato goes to all that trouble to mod the DYRL 1A head to a TV accurate version and you attach DYRL arm FPs? emerson, well said. 1/48s are the shiznit!
Arthurius Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 NB4M, can you, just for fun, display the vf-1a max with the fps from the vf-1j max ? Also, without FPS
edwin3060 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Finally a VF100s post Nice juxtaposition to make the VF100s fighter look as big as the DX toy
Vifam7 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 1/100 scale Valks yesterday and today. I hope to add a VF-1 GNU, VF100s VF-1, and a built Imai kit into this lineup in the future.
edwin3060 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I have to say, compared to the other 1/100 toys, the VF100s VF-25 looks great!
VFTF1 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Yep. Good job Bandai. Pete Edited March 16, 2009 by VFTF1
anime52k8 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I pulled this guy out of my cabinet and threw on some panel lines. I also got a set of 1/60 .v2 fast packs... unfortunately I don't have a 1/60 v.2 valk yet.
VFTF1 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I like the middle pic best. The last pic is funny - looks like he's sniffing to check for BO And teh UN Army decals are nifty too. I take it that this fellow is therefore primarily configured to function in Battroid mode? Pete

VFTF1 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Oh snap! You're right! So... which 1/100 scale is off-scale? Pete
areaseven Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Oh snap! You're right! So... which 1/100 scale is off-scale? Pete Actually, it's a matter of identifying which one isn't off-scale, as the Toynami Valk obviously is.
