blackwater_park Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Strange that such a small change should improve the look so much but hey, that grey kite really ties the whole look together... Providing it's tampoed on the production piece, which it should be, I've upgraded the LV from a "pass" to a "maybe" in the purchase list. Quote

Providing it's tampoed on the production piece, which it should be, I've upgraded the LV from a "pass" to a "maybe" in the purchase list. I'm getting two of them. It would look much more better if they change the yellow to light gray too, but that will make it has nothing to do with roy. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Actually, if they would just change the yellow to match the yellow on Ozma's VF-25S (The 1/72 kit), that would make a world of difference in my opinion. -Kyp Quote
eugimon Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 looks like they toned down the blue in that grey too... looks nice... sigh, another pre-order... Quote
blackwater_park Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) I'm getting two of them. It would look much more better if they change the yellow to light gray too, but that will make it has nothing to do with roy. The yellow on the chest piece and the top of the tail fins are fine but I think the painted yellow roundel after U.N SPACY is the main offender. If you were below and either side of this Valk that's the thing that would stick out. Fast packs though would mask them and make this look much cooler as has been said. Oh, just noticed the "danger jet intake" warning is now whitey grey instead of red also. As would be expected of course! EDIT: What the hey... Tried it out. Grey or black would be much better. White was poor. Edited August 5, 2009 by blackwater_park Quote
Vi-RS Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 any news on more color variants like sonic bird? low viz? angel birds? and possibly minmay guard and 25000th? lol... Quote
Sluff Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Does any one know the release date for the low vis VF-1S? Quote
Vi-RS Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Does any one know the release date for the low vis VF-1S? From Yamato website it says September, could be end of the month or early October. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/cate_list.php?cid=115 Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Hope the real TV Roy will come out soon. Please please please make it come with Hikaru without helmet and Misa on lap w/helmet, and i guess a TV Roy. Edited September 15, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Alex Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Does any one know the release date for the low vis VF-1S? This isn't actually a low-viz tho. It represents the 1S in DYRL which was randomly painted gray in one frame or so. Quote
eugimon Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) This isn't actually a low-viz tho. It represents the 1S in DYRL which was randomly painted gray in one frame or so. err... no. it's being advertised by yamato as a low viz type and it's been given something of a back story as well.. and that frame in question was from SDF:M I believe.

Vifam7 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I'm getting two of them. It would look much more better if they change the yellow to light gray too, but that will make it has nothing to do with roy. Actually they could make the yellow parts gray and technically still call it a Roy Fokker 1S. The number on the side (001) will identify it as Fokker's ship of Skull Squadron. Like how real life US Navy planes are. Navy planes have this thing called a modex. Modexes ending in 01 are the squadron's commanding officer's aircraft. Edited September 15, 2009 by Vifam7 Quote

Kyp Durron Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 unless it was a low-vis version of hikaru's 1S, or Max's 1S... Bah, that's what pilot name stickers are for, silly. -Kyp Quote

sidearmsalpha Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hope the real TV Roy will come out soon. Please please please make it come with Hikaru without helmet and Misa on lap w/helmet, and i guess a TV Roy. I couldn't agree with you more. After all these years, Yamato STILL hasn't released a true TV version VF-1S with Roy Focker pilot. All we have is the Toynami Masterpiece VF-1S so far. I guess I can use the pilot for that in a 1/60 VF-1S Roy. Quote
hutch Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hope the real TV Roy will come out soon. Please please please make it come with Hikaru without helmet and Misa on lap w/helmet, and i guess a TV Roy. Huge huge huge +1 to this. I was noticing last night how much 'grayer' my Roy 1S is than the TV Valks I have...I'd like a bright white Roy with black head arrows and a TV Roy... Quote
Roy's Blues Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Which FP would look better with this TV or DYRL/strike? I see Kyp Durron says the TV. I don't own any 1/60 v2 FP, and this is the only valk that I will be putting them on. /unless a 1/60 Minmay Guard comes out Quote

Omegablue Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) After obtaining the VF Master file book, I'm really hoping for some of the camo schemes in it. Though hopefully, the Stealth will be next. Edited September 23, 2009 by Omegablue Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Hope the real TV Roy will come out soon. Please please please make it come with Hikaru without helmet and Misa on lap w/helmet, and i guess a TV Roy. That's pornographic! Quote
Sluff Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hey Graham, Do you know about any near future non canon VF-1s that you can talk about? You knew about the M&M VF-22s so maybe you can help us out so we can save up for some future VF-1s. I also like the poll you have going for the next VF. How about a poll for a new scheme? Maybe something from the VF master file book (I haven't got mine yet but I have seen some of the VFs). Maybe a poll for the VF-1, VF-0, VF-11 or the YF-19? Quote
Javabean Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 So far, Yamato hv released almost all of TV & movie VF-1 variants, except for TV Roy 1S u & movie 1A CF. TV Roy 1S wl be my most anticipated fav! Quote
ff95gj Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 The VF-1S LV would be released on Oct 1~ Quote

derex3592 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Alaska Base! Alaska Base!! Alaska Base!!! We need some GREEN Valk love around here!!!! :lol: Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Alaska Base! Alaska Base!! Alaska Base!!! We need some GREEN Valk love around here!!!! :lol: I don't know what Yamato is waiting for. The Alaska Base VF-1 would be easy to do. Nothing complex about the paint job. Take TV Max or TV Hayao and paint non-white parts Green. Quote
Javabean Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 VF-1S TV Roy wud be easy to do as well, juz take a look at my avatar Quote
Rabidweezil Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 You forgot the Angel birds and the Alaskan base 1A. There is also the Dark Blue one that was on the carrier elevator early in the series. http://www.new-un-spacy.com/sdfmacross/var...1a-darkbird.htm Quote

Take TV Max or TV Hayao and paint non-white parts Green. Agree...Alaska Base and TV Roy would seem to be extremely easy canon valks..."Dark Bird"s appear to qualify as well... Back on topic, I wouldn't mind to see some 'army' valks in 1/60 like we got in 1/48... Quote

ff95gj Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 If anyone is interested... The VF-1S LV is released. I'll pick up mine tonight!! I'm always a big fan of Focker! Quote
