Kicker773 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I figured that we needed a thread like this. Everyone knows these valks exist, but not a lot has been posted. Maybe to stay away from yamato producing it in a 1/60 scale. Who knows, but I figured it was time to let it out of the box. I wasn't sure if it belonged to the model section/custom/or toy section, but I figured no one would mind if I started it here. i don't think there was a thread that was just all MG's for models or toys. So I'll start it off. Feel free to add any MG pictures on here, but make sure the owners are ok their images being posted. Let the insanity begin! Quote
Letigre Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Can such awesomeness really be contained in one thread? : Quote
VFTF1 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I'm happy this thread was created, because I can ask the following dumb question that I've been too embarassed to ask before: Is the Minmey guard a fan custom? Or did Yamato actually make some of those for exclusive/limited release? Pete Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 I believe the Moon Guard was produced in 1/72 scale officially by Hasegawa as a VF1S Strike Battroid Moong Guard Model Kit and the Paris Guard was never produced as a kit, but the decals were made available in 1/72 scale by Model Graphic/Hasegawa but it was not a complete decal set (missing the decal set for the FP and other parts for the valk).

505thAirborne Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Awesome choice for a thread Kicker!! Are both those beautiful VF-1S Minmay Guards yours? If so, your a lucky guy!! Quote
VFTF1 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Very lovely. Kaiyodo needs to hurry up and make Minmey figures so I can start guarding them Pete Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I really like the color scheme and hopefully Yamato will come out with this variation to milk their mold. And of course, a figurine of Minmay guard in the package is a MUST. Quote
MacrossMan Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I am so hoping they do not create these in the new 1/60th scale. Awesome customs Kicker! Lucky fella you are! Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Awesome choice for a thread Kicker!! Are both those beautiful VF-1S Minmay Guards yours? If so, your a lucky guy!! Yep they are, actually they are only a part of a squad. I'm still waiting a Minmay figure from a friend to be finished to complete my MG shrine. I'm at work at the moment but will post more pics of the MG pictures I've collected over the years. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I am so hoping they do not create these in the new 1/60th scale. Awesome customs Kicker! Lucky fella you are! me too, i want these in 1/60 scale!!!! if Yamato makes these, it will be impossible to resist. (just don't make them exclusives!!!) thanks Kicker for sharing. more pics if possible... EDIT - edited after re-reading MM's very selfish post, lol ...j/k Edited June 25, 2009 by m0n5t3r Quote
jenius Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I am so hoping they do not create these in the new 1/60th scale. Awesome customs Kicker! Lucky fella you are! Uh, did you mean you hope they DO create these in 1/60? I really hope they do, I'd be all over that. Quote

(just don't make them exclusives!!!) thanks Kicker for sharing. more pics if possible... EDIT - edited after re-reading MM's very selfish post, lol ...j/k Very selfish indeed! As much as I like the new 1/60's I am still a diehard 1/48 fan at heart. Even though Yamato never made any exclusive MG Valks, with anasazi's 1/48 decals and a good customization job you truly get an exclusive. Here's hoping Yamato sleeps on the MG's for the new 1/60's. Uh, did you mean you hope they DO create these in 1/60? I really hope they do, I'd be all over that. I won't be too disappointed if they are made in the new mold. I actually have a strong inclination that Yamato will commission a company to create a limited number of both. Cancel all the silly exclusive weathering Valks. This truly would be worth shelling out the extra cash for in my opinion. I love these in battroid mode and they would look kick ass in the new VF-1S mold. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I dont remember seeing this in the cartoon? Quote
EXO Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 if they made it in 1/60, Yamato would have it as a $300 mail in magazine exclusive. I'd rather if someone made decals. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I hope they come out in 1/60 just to piss off MacrossMan with his silly 1/48 fetish. I'm honestly not a fan of these, they're just too busy looking. the moon act is particularly... flamboyant. If it makes everyone else happy (except MacrossMan) that's fine, but there are a LOT of schemes and variants I'd rather spend my money on first. Quote
ff95gj Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I really hope that the MGs would be released. I won't mind to pay for yet another round of magazine-exclusive for a 1/48 version! Does Yamato have the license for these? If so, they should release both the 1/48 (magazine-exclusive maybe, because with the 1/60 v2 they may not sell as well) and 1/60. Just like the Max and Kakizaki 1As, they have the things issued in a relatively close time frame. Milk the mold! P.S. MJ is still my King of Pop. Quote

Kicker773 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 nice.. now don't be shy to post more pictures guys.. i know you lurkers out there =P Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Not sure who this belongs to but it looks like a model 1/72 or 1/60 maybe..dunno Gene's collection Edited June 26, 2009 by Kicker773 Quote
miriya Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 awesome thread kicker773. I look forward to seeing more up here soon. I have always loved the Minmay Guard schemes. I dont have one yet but one day I will. One day.... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Great pics so far~! i'd love a 1/60, but as EXO said, rather the waterslide decal were made. Quote
Omegablue Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Like the tinted blue one, but the bright nose cone on all of them, still puts me off to commit myself if they were made as 1/60. Quote
Mog Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Just did some quick checking up in the MW Gallery. There's a few more Minmay Guard sets than the ones I'm gonna re-post here. But I figure most folks can check it out for themselves. Links to the ones created by the Three 1/48 Custom Masters: * Jung's MG * Anasazi's MG * Kurt's Moon Act MG Someone even made a 1/55 Minmay Guard! Sadly, no one has tried to make a Joke Machine Minmay Guard just yet. Edited June 26, 2009 by Mog Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 Not yet...lol...., but regarding the nose cone.. there are other alternatives out there.. such as Kurts: Quote

KiriK Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Here's the king of Minmay Guard customs.... the Thunder Hammer Minmay Guard which belongs to Solscud Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) =) I have a couple that can dethrone the king =T w/out a TH =)... TH is still on the works But awesome none the less.. thanks for the addition.. I had pics of it but I was waiting for the owners to perhaps chime in.. glad it made it on here Edited June 26, 2009 by Kicker773 Quote
Al Bundy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Stupid double post! Edited June 26, 2009 by Al Bundy Quote
Al Bundy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 A couple quick pics on behalf of all the lurkers.[ Quote
Roy's Blues Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Here's the one I used to own. It was the last 1/48 I ever had. I would buy 2 if yamato ever made them in 1/60 Full album photobucket Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 I familiar with yours Roy, yours was based of mine =) from Tou of course... too bad you didn't keep it.. i hope it wen to a good home. Hopefully the new owner can post some pics =) Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Awesome pics everyone!! After seeing these pictures, with every possible VF-1 that Yamato is coming up with, I think a 1/60 V.2 in the Minmay Guard scheme is due!! Quote
