UN Spacy Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 The beauty of screenshots? 1. Please don't sculpt cockpit Basara with his helmet on. 99.9% of the time he's not wearing it. 2. If there's gonna be a standing Basara he's gotta be wearing t-shirt and jeans WITH guitar in hand.
Reïvaj Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Guys, I've been pushing Yamato for a standing Basara figure to be included. No word yet if it will be. Can I have some screen shots of what sort of bose you would like to see a standing Basara figure in, please. Graham Maybe something like this? Edited November 11, 2010 by Reïvaj
Graham Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Please don't sculpt cockpit Basara with his helmet on. 99.9% of the time he's not wearing it. Don't worry. IIRC, the sculpt had helmet off. I can check my photos when I go hom though to make sure. Graham
Reïvaj Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Don't worry. IIRC, the sculpt had helmet off. I can check my photos when I go hom though to make sure. Graham Graham, are you authorized to share some of your pictures with us or is there any kind of secrecy involved?
regult Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I suspect there is some kind of laziness involved
UN Spacy Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Don't worry. IIRC, the sculpt had helmet off. I can check my photos when I go hom though to make sure. Graham That's great news. IF they plan on releasing the Sound Boosters. Make sure they don't forget Basara's sound energy converter. They both premiered in Episode 28 "New Sound Weapon". So it'd only be right to release em in the same set.
regult Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Where can I preorder?? Not my favorite but it looks like it's going to be a great toy. It has all my support. I'd really like a YF-19 v2 Just like Ignacio and I suspect a few others, the Mac Donald's Valk is not really my favorite, neither is Mac 7 overall, but this toy is coming together ridiculously cool and I think I am now fully convinced! Hope it's not going to have some evil weakness embedded! (crossing my fingers). (OT alert) If Yamato can pull off such a cool toy so many years after the show was over, I can only dream what VF-25 , VF-27 or VF-171 they can make in the distant future. (/OT alert)
ff95gj Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I am buying it for my love for Yamato, not Basara. Will we see the VF-17, Graham? I'll get the 17D, 17S and Millia 17S. Enough mold-milking to justify it? Edited November 11, 2010 by ff95gj
Dobber Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 The beauty of screenshots? 1. Please don't sculpt cockpit Basara with his helmet on. 99.9% of the time he's not wearing it. 2. If there's gonna be a standing Basara he's gotta be wearing t-shirt and jeans WITH guitar in hand. My god talk about anime magic, I love how battroids are scaled up soooo much!! Basara looks tiny in that picture by the feet. Reminds me how big they made the VF-1D battroid at the start of SDF macross. If they do this hopefully they will make him acurately scaled. Chris
Dobber Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 This sculpt just keeps looking better and better, too bad it has the HORRIBLE fire valk colors. Still want to see more of fighter mode, though the 2 pictures we have seen look fantastic!, I really want to see a good profile shot. Never the less I will be getting one of these! Don't know if I could wait for a POSSIBLE repaint since there is no guaranty there will be one. Chris
BlueMax Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Unless I remembered wrongly, Graham has mentioned that the blazer valks AKA Emerald force valks will be sure to follow.
Mommar Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Unless I remembered wrongly, Graham has mentioned that the blazer valks AKA Emerald force valks will be sure to follow. The only problem is their wings aren't shaped the same.
BlueMax Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Haha... there is still the Zolan Patrol 19. That is almost identical to the Fire valk.
regult Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I am not sure if we should assume they'll make the repaints and variants just because they have a tooling they can work with...the driving force will and always was sales and profitability, gosh, there is more than one toy I wanted and even saw a preproduction photo of, only to turn into vaporware!
charger69 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Zolan Patrol is my favorite VF-19! And Yes, I want to buy them both VF-19 Kai and VF-19P!
Vic Mancini Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Guys, I've been pushing Yamato for a standing Basara figure to be included. No word yet if it will be. Can I have some screen shots of what sort of bose you would like to see a standing Basara figure in, please. Graham That's a cool idea, Graham. I'd like to see a standing (flight suit on helmet off) figure for every Yamato valk.
Mommar Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Haha... there is still the Zolan Patrol 19. That is almost identical to the Fire valk. That's true, I forgot about that one. I'd be more interested in that then the Fire Valk. We'll see how hard Yamato milks this mold.

Can I have some screen shots of what sort of bose you would like to see a standing Basara figure in, please. Graham A kneeling pose where he can be placed near the battroid cockpit hatch or on the chest would be cool. Also the flower girl in the distance, would be a neat nod. Was the sample you handled full of ratchets and detents? I hope Yamato thoroughly manhandles/tests the Fire Valky before final production to iron out the kinks, no V2 1/60 shoulder issues please!
Uxi Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Yamato can reuse the wings from the Fire-Valk to make the VF-19 variant from the Master File, too. IIRC it was the D/E?

UN Spacy Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Zolan Patrol is my favorite VF-19! And Yes, I want to buy them both VF-19 Kai and VF-19P! IN for online exclusive whale blood covered Zolan VF-19.
David Hingtgen Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I remember that I was impressed that the animators correctly colored it when it transformed, so that the areas that wouldn't have gotten sprayed, remained white.
homura Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 surely yamato will release VF-19P after VF-19 kai, just a little change on shoulder and wings, I'm looking forward it.
nexxstrait Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 surely yamato will release VF-19P after VF-19 kai, just a little change on shoulder and wings, I'm looking forward it. And head, which is comletely different
Renato Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 IN for online exclusive whale blood covered Zolan VF-19. That ain't blood, man...
bluemax151 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I need to go take some good shots but I already had these saved.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Is it too much to ask... for the sound boosters to have actual speakers inside them, make them exclusive (speaker versions only, cheap versions normal), get Yamato to pair up with samsung/sony whatever and make it so!!!! I'm adamant i'm going to make my 1/60 urge me to "LISTEN TO IT'S SONG!!!!" via USB etc. Think about it, how awesome would it be, the technology is there!!! Use it! Make this the ultimate Macross high end replica VF. Edited November 13, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie

Graham Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I have already discussed with Yamato several months ago having them put an MP3 player into the sound boosters. No word yet on if they will do it though. I will chase them. Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Arragghh! You all kinds of awesome G-Man, please do try! It will save me modding it that's for sure.
Renato Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Well, that would be incredible. I've wanted to make those myself for a long time, but if they made special speakers I'd grab that in a split-second.
m0n5t3r Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 that would make this a sure buy for me! I have already discussed with Yamato several months ago having them put an MP3 player into the sound boosters. No word yet on if they will do it though. I will chase them. Graham
charger69 Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) It doesn't have to be a full MP3 Player. Put Fire Bomber album ULTRA FIRE!! into ROM; add back and forward buttons for song selection and its done! Let's see Put ULTRA FIRE!! for VF-19 Kai Put DYNAMITE FIRE!! for VF-19P How about that!

eugimon Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Please, no mp3 players in the sound booster... can we just leave the kiddie gimmicks to the transformers crowd?
