Save Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Saw this today at the Miyazawa Mokei show, VF-1A Minmay Special 1/72 scale Valk. Release Jan. of 2010 Quote
gwfalcon Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Thx, save, for sharing the pix. Actually more concerned about the one on the back, the 1/48 one. Quote
mustang1 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I have to admit this news is overshadowed greatly by the 1/48 in the background. Quote

cool8or Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I'm a great fan of Minmay, but I'll pass this time. It's a lazy design, nothing to do against the previous Minmay Guards. Hasegawa should issue the "Paris Act" Minmay Guard, with complete decal sheet (actual option decal sheet doesn't comes with all decals to make it). Battroid & Fighter version would be great. But this, it's just like an aircraft with a big tatoo. Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I rather like it. It's clean and classy, bit of a contrast to the busy minmei guards and deculture VF-25s (which I also like). I also like the orange and white scheme. The signature next to the minmei graphic is a cute touch. Looks like some unique markings on the tail fins. Orange gunpod too. I will buy. Quote
Major Focker Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 i like it. simple. will get one for sure. when is it out? Quote
Heavy Melder Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Bout frickin' time. I've only had it on pre-order at HLJ since what, early summer? And yeah wants to see the 1/48th VF-1 and the F-14 with the funky paint job. Can't get enough of either of those. Quote
Urzu7 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Orange again!?. The Minmay'dress is red. By the way, what kind of figure is on the tail?. I don't like so much but I will buy it (love is blind ). Quote
electric indigo Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Here is the Flickr album with more pics of the 1/48 and the Idol Master F-14. Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I love Minmay, but not this color scheme, the original version is the best!!! I like Orange on a VF like the VF-1D, VT-1.... but this scheme does not fly. Quote
AcroRay Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 The orange makes me think of Hikaru's fanracer & flight suit or the VF-1D in SDF:M, or the VT-1 in DYRL - so there's a sort of orange element in early Minmay imagery as far as my mind's eye is concerned. Quote
Jefuemon Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 In case anyone was interested in where this new image of Minmei is coming from: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519-DwjcWBL.jpg Macross the First, done by Haruhiko Mikimoto. It's a retelling of the original Macross saga, with a few minor changes. http://file.asagawo.blog.shinobi.jp/090124-macross-6.jpg http://node3.img3.akibablog.net/09/jan/28/312.jpg Quote
Paliodor Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 The art with Minmay is very nice but the colors aren't the best. Was thinking that it will be looking much better... Quote
Bri Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Seems the opinions differ on this release. Have to say I like the paint scheme, reminds me of a coast guard or test plane. Quote
VF-19 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Call me odd, but I see the old Air Canada scheme in this. Orange on white... Looks pretty nice though... Quote
Excillon Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I'm not a fan. Nice decals, don't get me wrong. But the scheme is terrible, and why a VF-1A? So not only another VF-1, but why couldn't they have done a VF-1D or Super o? Better yet, scale down the decal and put it on the disk of a VE-1... Quote
azrhino Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 By the way, what kind of figure is on the tail?. Since is says "Miss Macross 2009" on top of the starboard intake and the thing on the tail looks like a crown, I am going to assume it is the Miss Macross Crown. Also, if you look really closely, the text around the crown on the tail says Miss Macross AD 2009. Quote
optimator88 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I love everything about this, except the giant Minmay decal. I think the colors and design otherwise look great. Quote
Duymon Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) I'm just happy Hasegawa is still releasing VF's at all, though I'd widh they'd re-release the low vis..but we all know about hase and their limited releases Edited December 7, 2009 by Duymon Quote
Zinjo Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 After all this there better be a new Mikimoto and Tenjin art book coming out Quote
