jenius Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Other than clear plastic being used for the window, that's probably how you should WANT the bridge to look. If they include little frail bits of hard plastic instead of gummy PVC we'll all end up breaking things off.
jimber Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 This 1/3000 version seems a lot more reasonable in terms of size, even for people with lots of display room. The 1/2000 version is a bit much and a little too large to stuff into most display cases. I hope this is not a web exclusive item with a high $$ tag. Is there any word if this is an assembled and painted figure or one of those "do-it-yourself" type of kit? I was looking for a good sdf-1, but after looking I saw you Avatar pic, thats looks great! can you show me more pics of the city you built?
derex3592 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I'll be patient and wait to see the final product. Needless to say, I think it will look better than those pics. I have faith Yamato will do THIS right. Because right now---that bridge and lack of detail overall really looks like crap!
Javabean Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I'm putting my faith in Yamato as well that the final product will be top notch!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00184 lol again??
Vi-RS Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00184 lol again?? That is 1/2000 scale. And yes they have announced to do a second run months ago. Apparently fans never feel enough.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) isn't this the 3td run... Edited November 7, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie
Vi-RS Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 New display. http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/016054/ The bridge on the black one has green color paint on it, new sculpt?
kyekye Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 The bridge on the black one has green color paint on it, new sculpt? Probably that means different material used on the antenna.
jenius Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Yes... they're pointing out that the tiny bits that would break super easily are going to be made out of rubbery PVC so you don't have to worry about them.
Cent Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Let's hope they dont deform as badly as the PVC in Bandai's offerings. Time to get the blow dryer ready.
Javabean Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) All dark grey colour...indicating there cud be new paint job as opposed to the early prototype? Edited November 10, 2010 by Javabean
Graham Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Discussed a possible TV version with Yamato today on the phone and they would like to know whether people would only accept a 100% accurate TV version, or would be willing to accept the existing version, but in TV colors, but with all-new resculpted arms (Daedalus & Prometheus). If you want a 100% accurate TV version, it would require about a 90% all new sclulpt, which would be very expensive and which Yamato feels may not be profitable. However, if it is just a new arm sculpt and a color change , Yamato may be more open to this. What is everybody's feeling? Responses ASAP please. Graham

Graham Frankly speaking, in my own impression the difference between the TV and DYRL versions are the color and the arms. I am not aware of other differences. (and I call myself a Macross fan. Shame on me!)
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) WEll, i would love an all new sculpt, can't be any more expensive than the dyrl? right? They'd make the 1/$2000 TV SDF-1 all over again and come to where we are today. ff95gj there is a huge difference. I'm a big softy for the TV version... 1st 2nd episode..... memories. Man, that bridge is really bothering me.. seriously WTF, why would they even choose to do a close up on it looking like that. Ill cross my fingers that just a prototype or something. Otherwise... A large TV version SDF-1 is my grail macross toy, hope we see one. The difference between TV vs movie versions are big, a repaint and just slapping the D and P on the arms aint gonna cut it.

charger69 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Before Macrossworld these two were same to me!! After Macrossworld... never be the same again!! FUUUUUU Honestly, I prefer DYRL better, TV colors were always too 70's to me. So, in case of extra money available after buying DYRL Ver. a simple color change and new arms are more than O.K.! Edited November 10, 2010 by charger69
ff95gj Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks ruskiiVFaussie! I would love an accurate TV version, but I believe I can live with a repainted TV color and the arms. Honestly, my childhood memory is about the TV version, not the DYRL version. If they release at the same time, I would skip the DYRL version and get the TV version within a heartbeat.
m0n5t3r Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) i was going to say yes, but after looking at those pics again... that's gotta be hard for those who only have money for one SDF-1... have an accurate DYRL version or have the (supposed) cooler and more nostalgic TV ver. but not be anime accurate... you'll be spending 500 bucks for the thing and 500 every session with your shrink trying to convince yourself that it's okay that it's not accurate...

Graham Good to know Yamato considering the TV version. I think it is good enough to have different color and new sculpted arms. And can Yamato offer us a discount if we own a movie version already?

m0n5t3r Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 can somebody photoshop that DYRL SDF-1 w/ TV colors w/ Daedalus and Prometheus arms and post it here? cruiser and attack modes...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 It'd look sh^t, but go ahead. If Yamato don't do it, bandai might. Still getting the 1/3000 DYRL? SDF-1 coz it's perfect.

Graham That doesn't sound like something that Yamato will do based on what they have done being anime accurate. The TV and DYRL SDF-1 are completely different in sculpts so I will say do it right or drop the idea. I'm glad that they have chosen the DYRL version because my love fell for DYRL mecha. It'd look sh^t, but go ahead. If Yamato don't do it, bandai might. Still getting the 1/3000 DYRL? SDF-1 coz it's perfect. Yeah, probably Bandai will salvage the old takatoku moulds again.
Javabean Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I'm into new sculpt since we hv gotten this far with DYRL version. I also feel it can't be too that expensive than DYRL?
Tober Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I wouldn't be prepared to take a second bite if the only differences were the arms and coloring. Unless it was severely marked down for clearance, maybe. Even the bridge section not splitting would seem 'wrong' to me. Props to Yamato for inquiring tho.
wm cheng Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Yeah, I'm just too anal to accept just a repaint. They are too different to pull that off effectively. They could do that then offer a v2 to suck some people in again like the YF-19?! I would not bite if they just did the re-paint with D & P. I do love the DRYL so much better anyways! Edited November 10, 2010 by wm cheng
D' only Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I would prefer a much darker colour of the DYRL colour scheme. As for TV, I don't mind a not 100% accurate scheme, 80% will do.
boinger Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 How does the Macross: The First SDF-1 by Mikimoto look like? I can imagine Yamato could repackage the 1 3000 Fortress with TV style arms and paint job and get away with it. I'd like the original SDF-1, please. Here's a picture of someone's 1/5000 WHAM DYRL fortress in SDF TV style.
eugimon Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I wouldn't be interested in a repaint but I wouldn't be interested in a TV accurate version either. Not at this price anyways.
eriku Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Accurate TV version only please. An altered DYRL version wouldn't be something I would buy. The main reason I prefer the TV version is because of how it looks in cruiser mode with everything fitting together snugly and flush. The DYRL version looks like a big robot laying down to me. So as it stands for me: Current DYRL version: will not buy Altered DYRL version: would not buy Accurate TV version: would definitely buy

Matrix Soul Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I'd be more than happy with a DYRL? SDF-1 in TV colors, especially if Daedalus and Prometheus are to be the arms, and give us a decision soon please, because I'd pass on the DYRL? SDF-1 in favor of the repaint.

I felt the same way about the DYRL version, looks like a robot laying down with the arms sticking out the sides.
