Mechapilot77 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Does the low visibility Roy Focker valk remind people here of anything? I couldn't help but think it was an homage to the box art of the vf-1s I'd seen 20+ years ago on an arii model kit. It's quite the famous pose with the left arm reaching out hand open, the right arm down and to the back gunpod in hand. The valk was definitley grey! If so I really hope they do a vf-1j with the paint scheme on the old arii box art whcih was a dark grey almost black color (especially on the gerwalk kit's box) with hints of blue in it and or course with hikaru's signature red stripe! I always wanted and dark colored vf-1j like that! What are the chances I'm right or that yamato would give us a dark vf-1j? Hmmm Quote
VF5SS Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 just for reference he means this boxart which started out as a VF-1J sketch with a new head applied. Quote
eriku Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 It would be nice if Yamato would go further beyond canon schemes. I've always wanted an olive (Army green) valk. No practical reason, I just think it would look cool. I think the reason they don't is there's never a guarantee how well non-canan schemes will sell. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 just for reference he means this boxart which started out as a VF-1J sketch with a new head applied. exactly the art I was thinking about. I remember seeing that at about 1 inch high on the side of the vf-1j gerwalk kit box (when I was a kid). Seems like you know the history of it, care to expand on it? I was a big fan of all their box art. Quote
VF5SS Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Well you can see it is almost identical to the picture here on the upper right. As much as there were a lot of unique pieces for the boxart, much of it was retouched lineart as well. Quote

I would love to see a valk in an a-10 thunderbolt style. Quote

I mean it doesn't require switching molds, just switch colors. A blank gray and a blank green one would be awesome. Just include a 1J and 1A head with the S. Quote

It would be cool if you could order one and specify which color you want it molded in (like ordering a T-shirt!). Get on it, Yamato! Quote
EXO Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 That's only in Japan... You can get one that said, I went to Akihabara and back and all I got is a damn VF-1. Quote

Where do I sign for a blank gray VF-1? Quote
