The Monster does not seem like a reissue. It says "test shot"... Is it a new tooling? Anyone know if the sprue looks like the old 80's kit? Edited May 13, 2010 by Vifam7 Quote

captain america Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 I hope the 1/48 VF-25 isn't dead. Seriously! That's the only model of interest to me that Bandai could make. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Same, I was really looking forward to a 1/48 kit. Although, I do really appreciate the idea of getting some dedicated fighter kits. There are a ton of custom paintschemes I've wanted to try out on the VF-25, and the transforming kits just aren't practical for that. Quote
regult Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 1/48 VF-25 and 1/72 Q-Rea are both completely off the radar since initial announcement...I sense a Kadum. Quote

The VF-25 picture is probably just a display sculpt. So far Bandai has never released a non-transforming Valk - ever! Probably why Hasegawa's Macross kits usually outlast the Bandai ones. Hasegawa's kits are cheaper to produce (since they re-use the same molds over and over) and are only made different by the decal sets the kits come with. No need to spend all that money on engineering a transforming kit or use all that extra plastic to mold it. Doubtful the Monster is a re-issue since the original monster by Yamato was 1/100 scale if I remember correctly (was kinda hoping it would be the same one, to go along with the VF100 line or Hi-Metal 1/100 line).

(we're talking about the Destroid from SDF:M, not the transforming Konig Monster from Frontier) It's a re-issue of the 1/100 scale Imai kit from the early 80's. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33020 Quote
Dax415 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 wow, i do hope they release a 1/48 vf-25, that would be cool. although that deformed vf egg plane looks real familiar though... looks more like a custom i've seen before. Quote
CF18 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 New mag scan: revival of this model. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 While I'd definitely prefer a 1/72 fighter-only kit (or 1/48 for that matter), this'll probably entirely satisfy my custom scheme urge for the VF-25. While I love the transforming kits, they're too much work to paint up all fancy. Actually.. you know, this makes me think... and maybe even dream a little... Remember the original VF-100s pitch? The poster that included nearly every single VF ever? I'm guessing they had to acquire the 1/100 licensing rights to all those Valks to make that pitch, sooo..... No, 1/100 isn't a great scale.. but if Bandai releases a series of models of all those planes.. Plus, the rush to market the kit of the YF-29 for the movie release makes me think they might just still be developing a transforming 1/72 kit of it. Given how much closer the DX YF-29 looks to the line-art, maybe the model and toy divisions are working a little closer together this time. Quote
Dobber Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 AWESOME!!!! I'll definatelt pick up a few of these to go with my YF-29! Chris Quote
Funkenstein Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I guess the 1/100 VF-29 did well enough to warrant another in the series. Quote

I'm guessing they had to acquire the 1/100 licensing rights to all those Valks to make that pitch, sooo..... I think we all need to stop perpetuating the myth that the poster in question was ever intended to indicate bandai had any intention of producing all or even any of the VF's on it. It was never meant to say "Here's all the stuff we're going to make," or even "here's all the stuff we want to make," it was simply "Here's some stuff that could potentially get made, give us feedback as to which you'd be interested in and we'll think about it."

Now if we could only convince them to release all of the Valks they have in their license stable! I am so buying "several" of those... I own the metallic VF-100 limited edition fighters and they are damn pretty! Hopefully their molds are the basis for this kit! Edited March 3, 2011 by Zinjo Quote
Kyp Durron Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Not molded in color like the 1/72 kits I see...as I'm not much for talent in that area, easy pass. -Kyp Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I wouldn't bet that pic is anything like it'll be in actual production, looks more like a test shot of the sprue, and a resin mock-up of the kit. For one, I've never seen a Bandai kit look as sloppy and badly fitting as those pics of the painted fighter. That and the sprue doesn't look anything like a final product, unless they decided it's better to cast canopies in solid grey plastic. But looking at the parts breakdown on that sprue, it looks like it's divided up pretty much by the standard color divisions used on the SMS VF-25 schemes. Besides, the YF-29 kit has already been seen to be broken down by colors for assembly, and done so rather intricately to achieve some white stripes across the shield, so I see no reason they'd be molding this kit in a single color.

regult Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I know I am barking at the moon, but this kit needs landing gears. Quote
valkyriepilot Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 yeah, landing gears ought to be a no-brainer for fighter mode VF kits... Wave did it, and Bandai sure did it on their older kits (VF-2SS, VF-1 variants) and even the newer 1/72 MacF kits, so why not for 1/100 MacF kits right? Quote
regult Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Did anyone notice the model shown is missing one of the most prominent panel lines? the one between the hip guns and the shoulder piece in battroid mode? Actually it's not just that, but the whole hip gun piece is not "cut away" properly with a seam line. The painted prototype has a huge gap instead, just like in the transformable 1/72 model. I don't need that gap, but a missing transformation seam line is a bit disappointing. Edited March 6, 2011 by regult Quote
Dobber Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Available for preorder at amiami, with a late April release date......scheduled anyway, not sure after the devastation in Japan. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=TOY-RBT-1407&template=default/product/e_display.html Chris Quote

regult Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I will say it again but this model needs landing gears Quote
Dobber Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Looks like these are available now, just got my payment request from AmiAmi. Now they just need to combine my 2 orders for 2 of these I placed they are 2070JPY a peice shipped. I asked them to combine the 2 orders but they didn't maybe because I ordered another YF-29 from them also with the second order. Just sent them an email asking them to combine the 2 VF-25's to save on shipping. Hope they can. Chris Quote
regult Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 looking forward to your builds, as usual! do share! Quote
tetsujin Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 You know, somehow it never even occurred to me to ask this before, but - do these kits come with decals, or stickers? I kind of assumed decals, but looking at the instruction scans it says "marking seals" rather than "slide mark" (maybe that's my answer right there... ) I really hate Bandai sometimes. Quote
TSP Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Thin stickers like the ones Bandai provide with their regular Gundam kits. Quote

Ghost Train Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Gotta admit, marking seals make stickers sound cooler than they are! Quote
