Frogze Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Done. http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=26224&extra=page%3D1&page=3 Quinjester, You Rock! Thank you for the sweet pictures
eugimon Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Huh? Where did you see that?? oh, no, I was just calling out stuff I'd like to see since anime52k8 called out the Blazer.
Loop Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Wonder why they used the black stand to prop it up in batteroid mode?
Dobber Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Looks nice, want to see more fighter mode pics though. Chris
Kicker773 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 they used a stand because its too fat to stand on its own. LOL
eugimon Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Wonder why they used the black stand to prop it up in batteroid mode? It's probably a hand painted prototype and it can't support itself right now.
hutch Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Man that thing is just beautiful. From the sculpt to the paint, to my eye, it looks perfect. I hope we get a release date soon, I will be anticipating it greatly. Also the VF-11C looks really nice in those pics. Makes me wish it was included in the current Yamato sale at HLJ...
nexxstrait Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Mmm, I was expecting something more. Chest piece still doesn't look good. The legs (especially the knee area) aren't that great either. Maybe it's just a question of bad posing. For now I'm glad I bought the Hi metal Fire when it came out.
Raptor One Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 This sculpt is amazing. The only thing slightly bothering me is the gap in the chest but even that is minor (for me)
SilentCrossHairs Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I'm sure the sound booster will be coming next for $95.00. Is it me, or the only thing the white VF-11 did in MAcross 7 was blow up every 2 seconds in the battle scenes. Edited January 23, 2011 by SilentCrossHairs
Andy NYK Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 i like how the shoulder speakers open up. Is it me, or the only thing the white VF-11 did in MAcross 7 was blow up every 2 seconds in the battle scenes. sadly, yes. they do blow up every 2 seconds in the battle scenes.
GU-11 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Now I've been known to be a Fire Kai hater, but even I have to say the fig looks gorgeous. It's appropriately glossy like in the anime, and the extra bulk looks good on it. Dunno if I might put down any money for a design I've always disliked [VERY tempted to buy it, though], but it'd look pretty darn sweet retooled as a Blazer or a YF-19.
Actar Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) ARGH!!! I can't wait to get my hands on it and transform it while having TOTSUGEKI LOVE HEART blasting away in the background. d(~.') For me, the Fire Valk is looking simply amazing. However, I am curious as to what the panels are at the bottom section of the chest are all about. Would have preferred it to have been smooth like the YF-19 or Bandai's Hi-Metal... Edited January 23, 2011 by Actar
UN Spacy Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I'm sure the sound booster will be coming next for $95.00. Is it me, or the only thing the white VF-11 did in MAcross 7 was blow up every 2 seconds in the battle scenes. Except Gamlin's.
valk1j Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Kinryu and Gamlin kicked a.. in the VF-11C. I can not wait until the VF-19F, but my favorite valk is coming the VF-17D
ae_productions Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Done. http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=26224&extra=page%3D1&page=3 WOW! That is one sexy @ss toy!
UN Spacy Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 The Fire Valkyrie is calling for a Syvil figure with clear stand. How else are we supposed to create the Anime Spirita scenes? Is Yamato going to include speaker pods?
Arthurius Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 holy comoly, this is fantastic, i want it!!!!
Ahab Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I never got into the Macross 7 storyline, nor am I a fan of this color scheme, but I do like the design. It would be nice if Yamato entertained a "no paint" or low-vis" approach to this design somewhere down the line. I think they'd sway more of the "on the fence" customers.

Yup, as it stands with this color I will not be buying one of these. Red and Yellow are two colors I dislike the most, combining them does nothing for this Valk for me. I'd love to support the work but I don't want to own this color scheme at all.

That's kind of a shame. For me, red and yellow are some of my favorite colors, signifying FIRE, COURAGE, DANGER, LEADERSHIP, etc...
Raptor One Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 If I do get one I wanna decal it up like this. The racecar look covered with corporate sponsors suits this valk too well
Kanedas Bike Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 ...have to agree with a few others that the colors don't do much for me despite the obvious effort Yamato put into the design. Also, in the interests of full disclosure I've never watched anything Macross 7 so I don't have a "connection" with any of the related Valks. BUT the model fighter mode posted above looks damn good, and if the Yamato has the same curb-appeal (understanding the aesthetic differences of model vs. toy) that then I'll gladly pick one up. -b.
Renato Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 It seems this is not the final colour. For some reason they're not in the photos, but on the shelf in front of the Fire Valk, there were four pieces (which happen to be the calf covers of the 1/24 Ingram) coloured in various shades of red (though all very similar at first glance). When I asked a Yamato employee about them, he said that they were colour tests for the Valkyrie. Apparently, they took this painted prototype over to BigWest, who promptly said "That's not the colour, change it!" Even though Yamato had matched it to what appears onscreen in the show. Then they showed Kawamori, who said "Yeah, that's the colour in the SHOW... buuuuuut it's not the REAL colour, sorry!" So now Yamato is at a loss and has resorted to just displaying samples and asking for opinions from people like us. I found it funny that BW has given the OK to commence production of things that don't look anything like a Valkyrie (Revoltechs?), but they get hang up on colours. Also, Save: "Didn't you know that there is supposed to be a giant ball joint in the chest?? Re-design!!"
Snail00 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 wow I wanted to take a break from collecting but that thing is screaming at me and do I see lineart for another zoid tiger type?
Jasonc Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 This is one of my more highly anticipated toys of the year. I'm very happy with the way the sculpt looks. Can't wait till they have even more pics of it in the near future. Thanks for putting up the pics.
ae_productions Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 holy comoly, this is fantastic, i want it!!!! I can't wait to see the repaints either. It's been mentioned that there may be a V3 YF-19 from this mold. I think that will kick some major @ss. The more I see of this new VF-19, the more I like it! Yamato is going to have a real big hit on their hands!
Tking22 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I may be interested in a 1/60 blazer valk, but this thing looks awful to me, the paint, the face, it all adds up.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 hough all very similar at first glance). When I asked a Yamato employee about them, he said that they were colour tests for the Valkyrie. Apparently, they took this painted prototype over to BigWest, who promptly said "That's not the colour, change it!" Even though Yamato had matched it to what appears onscreen in the show. Then they showed Kawamori, who said "Yeah, that's the colour in the SHOW... buuuuuut it's not the REAL colour, sorry!" So now Yamato is at a loss and has resorted to just displaying samples and asking for opinions from people like us. Damn he just pulled another VF-0A! Wonder if the real color according to Kawamori is gloss crimson red.
Raptor One Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 You can see the colour samples here Hopefully they go with the darkest shade
