DarrinG Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 If they can release "Virgin Road" variant, then why can't they release a TV -1S with correctly painted head, TV arms, TV Fast Packs and Hikaru & Roy pilot figures!!!! This is not 2 seater specific but real quick; I took my 1J pilot and TV fastpacks & added them to the 1S. What else do I need to do to make it TV version authentic other than the black arrow on the head? What about the arms is not TV? Are the reflex missile tips supposed to be red as well? They're yellow right now. (PS - remember the 'sparks' flying off the knives as M&M dueled in the park? o h b o y . . . ) Quote
VFTF1 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Good news this. But, correct me if I'm wrong...they flew a VF-1D? I can't remember what they flew, but I thought it was...grey?...I dunno... Pete Quote
CF18 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah they flew a VF-1D: http://www.new-un-spacy.com/sdfmacross/var...-virginroad.htm If Yamato think they don't want to risk over producing it, they may go online pre-order only like the weathered versions. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Non-stealthy mod-edit: I changed the title. I hate thread titles that are non-descriptive. We need something other than a half-dozen threads titled "surprise". (and it's one of MW's rules, too) QFT! "Surprise!" has become the new MW meme. Quote
jenius Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah they flew a VF-1D: http://www.new-un-spacy.com/sdfmacross/var...-virginroad.htm If Yamato think they don't want to risk over producing it, they may go online pre-order only like the weathered versions. In the animation it does have a 1A head though. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) great eye... i like the new skinnier-legs Isamu pilot up top, upside down. and who's that all-black one, is that Ivanov? but looking at the Milia pilot fig w/ the big wedding dress... can that really fit in the back seat of the new 1D? can't really tell if the legs are scrunched up like the Minmay fig...

Graham Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 If they can release "Virgin Road" variant, then why can't they release a TV -1S with correctly painted head, TV arms, TV Fast Packs and Hikaru & Roy pilot figures!!!! Beleive me, I have been pushing for this for a while. Wait and see. Graham Quote
ff95gj Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) TV VF-1S! Graham, please make sure AT LEAST they come with a TV Focker pilot, if not both Focker and Hikaru. I've some spare Hikaru, but never a TV Focker. And regarding the VF-1D, I don't know what head it has, but the old 1/72 model kit said VF-1D. Maybe it's natural... if it's a 2 seater, it's a 1D.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Beleive me, I have been pushing for this for a while. Wait and see.Oh dear god...I may actually buy that one...will it be in grey? I know of all the TV differences except for the head...how does the TV VF-1S head differ from the DYRL? versions? Heh, how about the old Imai boxart as an homage? Quote

On the contrary, I only know of the difference in the head (and the glove hands of course), if not counting for the super parts. The TV 1S has black arrows on the sides, and DRYL 1S has yellow ones.

Pineapple Salad Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 1/60 VF-1D "Virgin Road"..... I picked a bad time to start buying these. Geez I already bought TV Max 1A and I'm down for a VT-1... But now this, oh boy I'm gonna need that second job. But, I'm still stoked they are actually making this Quote

In the TV episode the Virgin Road valkyrie had a single laser, as in, it was a -1A head. But all the official information found otherwise it's always been a standard -1D painted blue. It's assumed that the head was an animation mistake. Vostok 7 Quote

ff95gj Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Heh, the heads are easily removable, if Yamato included the A/D heads that would be cool. I don't think they would include both heads; then hopefully it's the same Max blue so I can swap my Max 1A TV onto it. Quote
EXO Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 this is cool! The only thing they haven't announced is this, the M&Ms and the Angelbirds... geez. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I'm wondering why exactly this has it's own thread? it's not like they toy's been announced officially, and anyways shouldn't this be under the v.2 two-seater thread? Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Problem would be solved if it includes multiple heads. But I don't see this happening as Yamato likes to milk the molds. Quote
Omegablue Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I really don't get it... A virgin road might be before the Max & Miriya's 1Js... ??? I'll rather have a Low Visibility gray 1A or 1J before a Virgin road... Quote

I'll rather have a Low Visibility gray 1A or 1J before a Virgin road... I'm hoping for M&M 1A arcade game ver. , since I don`t really like their 1J ver. even if I have them. Quote
ff95gj Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I'm hoping for M&M 1A arcade game ver. , since I don`t really like their 1J ver. even if I have them. I want the Millia 1A, too. I am such a M&M sucker... Quote
Gunpod71 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Dumpster diving FTW Curse you Yamato!! *shakes fist* Yep good ol dumpster. Looks like I'll be looking for some scraps. Soggy Mcdonald's fries mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote
Nexx Stalker Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 On the contrary, I only know of the difference in the head (and the glove hands of course), if not counting for the super parts. The TV 1S has black arrows on the sides, and DRYL 1S has yellow ones. No one ever mentions that the TV1S is not white but light gray. Quote
Omegablue Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 No one ever mentions that the TV1S is not white but light gray. Good Point... It would be a dream to have it in gray! (I hope Graham has taken note of this?) Quote
Javabean Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I hope the TV 1S Roy will come with gun strap as well, that wud be most welcome too! Quote
m0n5t3r Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 actually, they should be providing gunpod straps for all the TV valks... damn gunpod w/ holes but w/ no straps... Quote
ff95gj Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 No one ever mentions that the TV1S is not white but light gray. I thought the DYRL 1S is already light gray... no? Quote
DarrinG Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I thought the DYRL 1S is already light gray... no? ALL the v.2s should have been light gray instead of the bright white in my opinion. And the animation actually shows a 1A head on the M&M wedding valk?!? And we never see it transformed to confirm what it really was?!? WOW - this is more milking than a dairy farm. Quote
Javabean Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) actually, they should be providing gunpod straps for all the TV valks... damn gunpod w/ holes but w/ no straps... YEah...the holes made to accept the ring straps like 1/48s. Made me wonder if all these ever gonna be sold separately as assessories in near future? Edited April 29, 2009 by Javabean Quote
BlueMax Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 ALL the v.2s should have been light gray instead of the bright white in my opinion. Amen to that.....yellowing on white plastic seems to be very much more pronounced compared to other colors.... Just take a look at them.... Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Yeah they flew a VF-1D: http://www.new-un-spacy.com/sdfmacross/var...-virginroad.htm Not really, if you follow the entire flight and landing sequence of the blue fighter used in the anime, it turns out Max and Milia are actually in a two-seater VF-1A. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I thought the DYRL 1S is already light gray... no? The 1/60 V.2 is a very light gray...about the same color as insignia white. -Kyp Quote
